In explaining the scope Of the in
stltution the gift will create DR.. Young
said:
when Mr.. Brady was a patient in
the Johns Hopkins last spring he be-
came impressed with the institution
and its possibilities for good. its COM
manding position in scientific medicine
and it's opportunities for greater ad-
vancement in special lines OF work.
His gift will provide research in
stitute and department OF urology,
which will include an out-patient de-
partment, with the most modern equip
ment for examination and research,
with numerous laboratories.
For Public and Private Patients.
"In each of three stories OF the
building there will be a public ward
with capacity Of fifty patients or
more. 1t was also thought highly de-
sIrable TO have a certain number OF
rooms for private patients. many OF
whose cases require the use OF research
laboratories. so that they not only can
be given the sam. advantages that
public patients have. but so that the
interesting cases presented by them
will be available for research.
THE building also is to have quar-
ters for resident internes and n roof
garden for the outdoor treatment n
convalescent patients, and 10 be pro-
yided with every modern convenience
equal to the best in this country and
abroad.
"Mr. Brady's gift will make possible
the construction Of the first institute
in America for the special field Of
urology. London possesses one In st.
Peters Hospital and Paris one In the
Hopital d'Urologie. Berlin is about to
construct a large special hospital for
this field in connection with one OF Its
public hospitals. where private patients
as well as public patients VIII be pro-
vided for.
Tentative plans for the new institute
have already been prepared. Mr.. Brady
has taken great interest In the institute.
which is to bear his name, declaring
that he intends TO give this his greatest
personal interest. He already has
shown his spirit Of human kindness in
many ways In other directions. but this
is the first time he has become inter-
ested in scientific medicine
When Diamond Jim" Brady was seen
at his home, No. West Sth street, last

gift IN Johns Hopkins Hospital. Finally
he consented to say:
81 am going to build tnis addition to
the hospital for the sake OF humanity. l

thought / was going to die, and my life
was saved"
Mr.. Brady said the addition was to be
omen to persons of all colors and all ma
t,onalities, and would be erected on
ground owned by Johns Hopkins Uni
versity.
