Dr
.
Westel
Willoughby
, for
whom
the
Willoughby
University
of
Lake
Erie
was
named
. The
school
was
founded
in
Chagrin
,
Ohio
(now
Willoughby)
in
1834
,
when
interest
grew
in
starting
a
medical
college
in
northern
Ohio
, as the
closest
at that
time
was in
Cincinnati
.
Two
local
doctors
,
Dr
.
John
M
.
Henderson
and
Dr
.
George
W
.
Card
,
trained
under
Dr
.
Willoughby
in
New
York
State
and
thought
lending
his
name
to their
endeavor
would
add
prestige
to the
college
and
hopefully
prompt
him to
give
financial
support
.
Because
the
people
of the
community
started
referring
to
Chagrin
as
Willoughby
, the
town's
name
was
changed
.
Problems
arose
within
the
school
when
several
of the
doctors
disagreed
and
broke
away
to
start
the
Cleveland
Medical
School
. The
Willoughby
medical
school
closed
in
1847
.
Doctors
still
affiliated
with the
school
moved
to
Columbus
to
organize
Starling
Medical
College
,
which
later
became
the
Medical
School
of
Ohio
State
University
, the
third
medical
college
in the
state
.
