Staff of the Knight Hospital, New Haven, ca. 1864
Classes continued as usual during the Civil War. The hospital was
leased by the U.S. government to serve as a military hospital and
was renamed the Knight Hospital after Jonathan Knight, longtime
chairman of the Board of Directors of the hospital. In this

identfied men were faculty and graduates of the Medical Institution
of Yale College. Faculty included Worthington Hooker, Professor of
