Company History
About one year after the University was founded in 1850, the University of Rochester adopted its beloved motto, Meliora–Latin for “ever better.” A few years later, the first campus was built on eight acres of dandelion-covered pasture. Today, our motto and our dandelion are ever present as tributes to our past and emblems of Rochester’s maverick spirit.
The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry was founded in 1921 when Nobel Laureate, George Hoyt Wipple, MD came to Rochester to put a revolutionary concept into practice - a school and a hospital under one roof that integrated basic science and clinical practice. The faculty of the School now consists of approximately 1800 full-time faculty members and 1000 voluntary clinical faculty members organized into 32 Departments and Centers. We also train some 600 residents and fellows drawn from all corners of the United States and beyond. Research faculty have attracted external funding totaling approximately $200 million during the last fiscal year, divided evenly between basic and clinical research. Approximately $140 million was from the NIH and $60 million was from other federal agencies, from foundations and from industry.
The University of Rochester Medical Center is a private, coeducational, nonsectarian, and nonprofit research university.
