OF CHICAGO.

In outlining the plans n hopes OF
the University OF Chicago, Chicago. ILL.,,
at Its recent quarter centennial ceIebra-
ton, President Harry Pratt Judson said
that what was peeded to complete n
school OF medicine at the university was
provision for clinical work and a clinical
stan at the Midway. n that In his
judgment the first need was for a hos
pltal wholly under the control of the
university. for medical teaching and for
medical research and the second need
was provision OF adequate endowment, in
order that h hospital itself might be
beyond the necessity OF being financed
by income from Its patients. and in order
that tho medical faculty might be free to
pursue their work OF investigation and
instruction without ecoursc to personal
practice.
In direct fulflment Of this hone and
plan. the university board OF trustees
has 1ust made ono of the most impor-
tant announcements In the history Of
the institution. The plan announced to

and Of graduation will be as high as
those Of any medical school In the coun-
