Immigrants passing through Ellis Island were subjected to rigirous medical examinations by uniformed military surgeons. The medical officers would check for anything ranging from conjunctivitus to mental illnesses. Upon arrival to Ellis Island, immigrants were to record their names and submit to examintions before entering the country. Ellis Island operated from 1892 to 1954.
