Laboratory facilities: These consist of a single room called the laboratory of pathology, bacteriology, and histology, whose equipment consists of microscopes and some unlabeled specimens, — no microtome, cut sections, incubator, or sterilizer being visible,—a wretched chemical laboratory, and an ordinary dissecting-room. There is no outfit for physiology, pharmacology, or clinical microscopy, and no museum deserving the name. There are a few hundred books, locked in cases to which the janitor carries the key. Clinical facilities: These are entirely inadequate. They are confined almost wholly to  a small number of beds in the municipal hospital. The school has no dispensary. Date ofvisit: October, 1909.
