252 Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $17,600 (estimated).

Laboratory facilities: A single large laboratory is set aside for chemistry of all kinds, and urinalysis: huge bottles are furnished instead of separate reagent sets; histology, pathology, and bacteriology occupy a second room, equipped for routine work in each of these branches. Physiology is similarly provided for. There is the usual dissecting-room, large, clean, and well lighted. There are no books. There is a small museum and a large supply of pathological material.

Clinical facilities: Adjoining the school is the University Hospital, most of the work of which is surgery; but as there are no free beds, it is of no real use to students. The main reliance for clinical instruction is the City Hospital, a beautiful modern structure, in which clinics are held, mainly in the amphitheater, one day weekly from 8 to 12. The school has no access to the clinical laboratory, to autopsies, obstetrics, or infectious diseases, but an out-patient department and a Rescue Home furnish obstetrical opportunity in abundance. Other institutions furnish additional material. The school dispensary—fairly clean—has a large attendance; but it is poorly equipped and loosely conducted. The clinical facilities are, therefore, unsatisfactory in both quality and extent.

Date of visit: November, 1909. (3) . Homeopathic. Organized 1888, an independent institution.

Entrance requirement: Less than a high school education.

Attendance: 59.

Teaching staff: 41, of whom 33 are professors, 8 of other grade.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees only, amounting to $5900 (estimated).

Laboratory facilities: All laboratory work is conducted by one teacher, who serves in the same capacity in the local eclectic and osteopathic schools. The chemical laboratory is small and poor; that for pathology, histology, bacteriology, and embryology, urinalysis and blood work combined, is worse—meagerly equipped and in utter disorder. Anatomy had not as yet started (November). There are a few books.

Clinical facilities: Amphitheater instruction is given one morning a week at the City Hospital.

In the school building is a small dispensary, with an estimated attendance of 6 or 7 a day. A neatly kept card index is employed.

Date of visit: November, 1909.
