History Med Chi was founded in Aberdeen in 1789 by James McGrigor and James Robertson, originally as a society of medical students, unhappy with teaching at the city's two universities ( King's College and Marischal College). In 1811 it evolved into a postgraduate society. A Medical Hall, designed by Archibald Simpson, was built on King Street in 1820, at a cost of more than £3,000.
