Title supplied by cataloger. Loma Linda University was founded in 1905 as a sanitarium called the College of Medical Evangelists, by John Burden and Ellen G. White. From 1913 to 1962, the university taught basic sciences in Loma Linda, but sent its students to Los Angeles for clinical experience. In 1961 the college was upgraded to university status and renamed after the city. On July 9, 1967, the university opened the Loma Linda University Medical Center with more than 125 patients from the old community hospital. Today, Loma Linda University enrollment stands at approximately 5,000 students, and the Loma Linda University Medical Center admits more than 30,000 patients per year.
