The Birminghamistas stole the state medical college from you? Boy, talk about revisionist history. The Medical College of Alabama was moved from Mobile to your beloved University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa in 1920. In 1944, Birmingham was selected as the new location of the Medical College of Alabama. Obviously, it made more sense to have the state medical college in a more central location rather than in the southwestern corner of the state. But now Mobile has the state's second public medical school (not many states our size have two public medical schools), so stop whining.
