Population, 336,122. Number of physicians, 359. Ratio, 1: 936.

Number of medical schools, 1.

SALT LAKE CITY: Population, 65,464.

. Organized 1906. A half-school. An organic part of the state university.

Entrance requirement: One year of college work.

Attendance: 18.

Teaching staff: 6 professors and 10 of other grade, who take part in the instruction. The professors are all university teachers, of whom 3 give their entire time to medical subjects.

Resources available for maintenance: The department is supported out of the general funds of the university. It costs approximately $10,000; its income in fees is $1405.

Laboratory facilities: Laboratories are adequately equipped for the routine instruction of small classes in anatomy, physiology, physiological chemistry, chemistry, histology, pathology, and bacteriology. The spirit is excellent. A few books, scientific journals, charts, etc., are at hand; a museum has been begun. More liberal support, however, is necessary if the department is to justify its high entrance standard.

It is to be hoped that whenever clinical instruction is started in Salt Lake City, it may be only for the purpose of completing the half-course now offered; in that event Utah need never know the proprietary medical school.
