The Board of Managers "then resolved that the
report OF the committee be accepted and the plan
proposed for conducting the Clinics was unanimously

Under this arrangement the clinical lectures have
been regularly held, without disturbance OF any
kind, and, from appearances, seemed to be giving
satisfaction to all parties. Inasmuch however,

whom are valued contributors to the hospital,

FROM f. GUTEKUNsT No. 712 Arch street. we
have received fine photograph of the Capitol
Buildings at Washington. The National Capt.
tol is one of the very few public edifices in this
country that are entirely creditable to the
aesthetic culture of the country. The Capitol is
at once imposing in itself, as such structure
should be, and it is suggestive of the uses to
which it is devoted. Mr. Gutekunst has sue
ceeded in getting an admirable view of 1t, and
this photograph is certainly one of the best, ii
not the very best picture of this great national
edifce ever made. The photograph neatly
framed will make an appropriate and attractive
decoration for any wall.
