MEDICAL PRESTIGE
So Says DR.. Potter, OF Woman's
College, Asking
for Aid
s25o,ooo DRIVE STARTS

PHILADELPHIA will lose its prestige
as a medical center unless citizens take
more vital interest in its Institutions.
according to DR.. Ellen G. Potter, OF
the Womans Medical College OF Penn
sylvania and chairman of the S25O.O0O
drive which started today to help take
care of the immediate and general
financial problems of the college.
"There are not enough physicians
being produced to supply the ordinary
needs of the country says Doctor
Potter, ''and during the last few years
there has been an enlarged demand for
doctors in fields other than the office
practice of medicine. They are needed
as educators in schools and in indus
trial work, and the foreign calls are
larger than ever. =,
"One- sixth of the women medical
students of the country are studying
here in Philadelphia and the Woman's S
Medical College is fast reaching its
capacity in registrants. 1t is no secret
that the tuition for which the student
pays 5000 costs the college S775, and
if the medical profession is to be en- =
couraged the deficit must be made up
by contributions.
Everybody connected with the col
lege, except the professional workers.
has received an increase in salary, and
many of the teachers who are held to
the college by loyalty have not had
their salaries raised for many years.
Some of them have had to draw on
their private incomes"
One of the immediate additions to
the curriculum which will be financed
by the fund will be department OF
preventive medicine which will be
headed by woman physician of New
York who is said to be one of the most
prominent in the country.
The first meeting of the 800 women
| workers, who are organized into fifty
| teams. will be held at noon today al
the Hotel Adelphia, with Benjamin
Ludlow as speaker.
Mrs. James Starr, Jr., is associate
chairman of the campaign committee.
