A large number of the general clinics and about one-half of the bedside teaching to the fourth-year class is given in the wards of this hospital.

The members of the Faculty, who are attending physicians and surgeons to the Hospital, hold regular clinics, and small sections of the classes are taken into the wards, where the students are required to examine patients suffering from various medical and surgical diseases. Students of the fourth-year class are regularly assigned to the care of cases in the wards under the supervision of the attending and house staffs. The hospital itself is one of the largest in this city, and has always been distinguished for the abundance of its clinical material.

BETHESDA HOSPITAL.

Bethesda Hospital, with its foundlings' and maternity departments, is under the immediate charge of Professor E. W. Saunders. The Foundlings' Home, 3651 Vista avenue, is within twenty-five minutes' ride of the Medical Department, and is easily accessible from all parts of the city.

This modern institution cares for over one hundred infants and children, and affords exceptional advantages for the study of diseases in infants and young children.

The Maternity Hospital, 1210 Grattan street, is open to senior students of this school only, affording opportunity for obstetrical diagnoses and experience.

MARTHA PARSONS CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.

The Martha Parsons Children's Hospital, to which this school has exclusive access, furnishes an abundance of material for a weekly clinic. Small sections of the class are taught the operations for deformities, application of braces and the results of various methods of treatment.

CITY HOSPITAL.

The commodious and modern buildings of the new City Hospital situated on Fourteenth street and Lafayette avenue, can be

reached in a few minutes from the School Buildings by the car lines.

At this institution about fifteen thousand patients are treated annually. The wards, accommodating on an average six hundred patients, offer a wide range in the selection of cases for presentation before the classes. Three clinic rooms are provided for teaching purposes. Clinical instruction, supplemented by the use of the microscope, is given here. The Senior Class attends the weekly clinics in Medicine, Surgery and Diseases of the Nervous System. The second and third year students come in sections for the study of gross pathology and to conduct post-mortem examinations.

INSANE ASYLUM.

The buildings of the Insane Asylum are located in commodious grounds on Arsenal Street, opposite Macklind Avenue, about thirty minutes ride from the Medical Department.

The Insane Asylum accommodates about seven hundred inmates. Attendance weekly during the eighth semester, as a part of the work in nervous and mental diseases is required for senior students.

MATERNITY DEPARTMENT OF THE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

HOSPITAL.

The Maternity Department is situated on the first floor of the Washington University Hospital. It is in full running order and is completely equipped for obstetrical teaching. The service is under the exclusive direction of the Professor of Obstetrics in the Faculty of the Medical Department of Washington University.

The Operating Room is equipped with all modern surgical and obstetrical conveniences. The number of patients in attendance is steadily increasing, so that now each senior student attends at least five cases.

These, with obstetric operations and subsequent treatment of women and infants, afford invaluable practical experience, such as is offered at no other medical school in the West.

PRIVILEGES.

As the Medical Department is an integral part of Washington University, its students may enjoy all the privileges and facilities open to members of any Department of the University. Students may reside in the University Dormitories and are eligible to various social and other organizations of the student body.

The University Gymnasium is situated at the west end of the campus and is open to medical students, who may enjoy the privileges. The Gymnasium is large and thoroughly equipped and is under the charge of the Physical Director.

Besides the work of the regular curriculum, the University offers many courses of Public Lectures. Lectures of general scientific interest are given from time to time both at the University and at the Locust Street Building, throughout the academic year.

THE MEDICAL LIBRARY.

COMMITTEE-William H. Warren, Robert J. Terry.
LIBRARIANS-John W. Gray, Gary Thomas Gossard.

The library, at present numbering five thousand seven hundred volumes, has been classified and carefully catalogued, and is now being made use of by students, instructors and others connected with the School. Out of the proceeds of the Cooperative Association and from gifts, about one thousand books were added last year and three new journals subscribed for. Among the gifts should be mentioned specially the collection of nearly one thousand works on neurology, psychology and internal medicine, given to the library by Dr. Ludwig Bremer; the large collection of reprints on dermatology by Dr. Hardaway, and reprints and monographs on diseases of the throat and chest by Dr. William C. Glasgow. Of the books purchased a large number are standard text-books and atlases for the use of students. During the present school year all of the journals requiring it were bound so that now with the catalogue the library is accessible to readers and consultants.

PUBLICATION.

The Quarterly Bulletin of the Medical Department of Washington University publishes accounts of the work of the several departments, the progress and results of original research in this School and others, book notices, and personal news of interest concerning the alumni and others connected with the institution.

It is the official organ of the Alumni Association and for the past three years has been mailed free to the graduates of the original schools and of the present one.

The fourth volume is completed with this issue.
