Grieved Over Grandson.
John d. Rockefeller's grief over the
loss of his grandson, little Jack
Mccormick. first caused him to be-
come interested in the advancement
of science. The child's death was
caused by cholera infantum and when
the fact that little one had passed
away was broken to him, Mr.. Rookie
Teller was astounded to find that the
physicians did not know anything
about the germ of this ordinary sum-
mer complaint Of children and had no
adequate means of contending with
1t.
1t was then that the seed was sown
whose fruition was the founding OF the
Rockefeller Institute in 1901.
This project was a new departure
in this country although there were
such institutions for the study of OBJ
scure questions of medical research
in France, Germany, England. Russia
and Japan. The list included the
Pasteur Institute in Paris, opened in
1889; the Imperial Institute in st.
Petersburg. endowed by Prince Alex
ander. of Oldenburg in 1890; the Insti-
tute of the Infectious Diseases, in
Berlin: an Institute for Experimental
Therapeutics in Frankfort, and the
Lister Institute in London. But there
was nothing of the sort in this coun.
try. Mr. Rockefeller's first gift to the
Rockefeller Institute was 100000. So
great has been the success of the pro
ject that its future has since been as
sured by the gifts from its founder
aggregating 100000.
Mr.. Rockefeller bought the old
Schermerhorn property on East River

diseases that offers, doing its utmost
to meet the actual demand of the sick
poor. a demand that usually taxes the
wilton Of its staff to the utmost. In
performing this indispensable function
the general hospital obtains. and will
always obtain, vast amount Of clint
cal material and experiences of great
importance to medical science, but
this must come as a by-product.
The resources OF the hospital must
be used primarily to treat all the di-
seases with which the community hap
pens to be afflicted. They cannot
without breach of trust be diverted at
will to the study of this or that d.
sease which at given time presents
the most desirable of hopeful field for
research. The hospital Of the Rookie
Teller Institute, on the other hand.
will select from time to time a small
number OF diseases-say three or
four-admit only patients suffering
from these diseases, and consecrate
the skill and entire time of its staff
to the care Of those patients.
From the standpoint Of the sick
man, woman or child, this will mean
the enlisting of all known forces that
can fight for his recovery. From the
standpoint OF medical science it will
mean an almost unequaled oppor-
tunity for study-the study of selected
cases with freedom to consecrate all
the resources of medical knowledge
and the most scientific methods, II
need be, on a single case.
Plans Long Considered.
During the preparation for the plans
OF this newest building the architects
spent nearly two years before they
drew SO much as a line on paper. A
hospital designed strictly for the pur-
poses Of study Is an anomaly in hos
pital architecture. The new building
has eleven floors from the riverside
view. but only eight from the drive
way on the west. 1t stands just be-
yond the south end of the old build.
Ing on the brow of the hill and a long
driveway leading through a gateway
connects It with Avenue A.
The first floor is devoted to execu.
tive offices and the quarters of the
medical staff. The second floor is
devoted to the bath. On the third
floor there are work rooms and small
laboratories. The fourth, fifth and
sixth floors are the ward floors. The
