It was also importing deadly diseases like yellow fever and smallpox. In an effort to treat these diseases and train more doctors, the Medical College of Louisiana was formed.

In 1847, the Medical College of Louisiana was a newly established public institution, later known as the University of Louisiana.

His generous gift transformed the University of Louisiana into Tulane University.

Now, Tulane University has become one of the most honored educational and research institutions in the country.
