The Boston Associates were a group of cotton merchants and textile factory owners who helped to found Massachusetts General Hospital. It is a fact that they profited from slavery. Afterall, the American South was the major cotton producing region in the world in the late 18th and early 19th century. The Boston Associates are a part of the history of this hospital. To delete any reference to them and the nature of their business is an affront to History. Noxscientia 00:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Could you please point out a suitable reference for this, particularly the names of those in the Boston Associates? Riverview1 17:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Riverview

You say it was "founded" in 1811. Then you say it admitted its "first patient" in 1821. That is—take your pick—contradictory, a non sequitur, and completely unclear. When the hospital opened for practice, or whatever activity it first engaged in, is what we want to know.
If it opened in 1811 but didn't have patients for 10 years, then what did it do for a decade? In what medical activity other than seeing patients [sic] did it engage? How is a hospital called a hospital without having patients?
Or are you saying 1811 was just an event on paper, a charter or something, and the hospital didn't open until 1821? If so, then say so. And use a single, defining English verb, e.g. 'open'. Of course, if you wish to say that admission of its first patient constituted its opening, if that is true, fine. Or, if those are two different events and you also want to state the 1821 first-patient-admission event, that's fine too. But give us the 'opening' flavor.
Given the present phrasing, for the record we must also ask: Did it open in a third year, neither 1811 or 1821?
