memorial. according to letter which Mr..
Harkness wrote 'to Robert W. de Forest.
vice president Of the Presbyterian Hospi-
tai. who made the announcement.
The agreement for an alliance between
the hospital and College Of Physicians and
Surgeons has been under discussion for
some time When this is contaminated
|
lation between the two institutions a
now exists between Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and ths Johns Hopkins Hos pital
In Baltimore. The fundamental principle
OF the alliance is that the university I'm
return for the privilege Of making all
nominations to tho hospital star shall
meet the expense OF all scientific and ein-
cational work associated with the hospital.
MIR de Forest said that tho action was
approved unanimously by the board Of
managers Of the hospital at the December
meeting. IL was approved by tho COM
mit'es on education OF Columbia Uni
versity on December II. and now all that
remains to complete the arrangement il
the final approval Of the trustees Of the
university. They will meet in January,
given.
Inasmuch as the Presbyterian Hos
pital is making plans TO build on its new
site on Avenue A between Sixty seventh
and Sixty eighth 81 strsets. adjacent to the
Rockefeller Institute. the aut horities
thought il opportune to create the new
relai ionship. Each institution will main
tain its own independent corporate ex-
istence. For time il looked as though
he allianc. would be difficult to arrange
because of the provision ny Columbia
for the expense OF educational work
which was TO be met by it. Mr.. Hark-
ness's gift and that OF the anonymous
donor have removed the obst acle. The
expense for sducat ional and scientific
work that would OF therwise have been
borne by Columbia has been met,
just exactly when this new alliance
will become effect i've has not been decided.
Mr. de Forest thought that ii would apply
ar once TO all nominations for vacancies
on the hospta al staf. but he added that
he present members Of the stah who
have no connection with Columbia Uni
ver~iry NAV rest assured that no change
will be made affecting their relai ion to
h- hospital without ample mott ice and
due cOnsid.rai ION 10 them
