Z 1 al
The Medical School at George
Washington University will soon be
one of the finest in the country as
the result of plans of university
officials for the development of the
department. Unusually large ap-
preparations are being spent to
maintain the present high standard
and to extend the scope of work.
The Medical School building at 1881
H street northwest has been re->
modelled and thoroughly equipped.
and the school is ably prepared to
accommodate the exceptionally
large enrolment.
The freshman class this year is
twice the size of the 1918 and 1918
classes. If the present rate of reg
istration continues, II will doubtless
be necessary to enlarge the quar-
ters next year.
The university hospital has been
extensively improved and now is
running at full capacity. Receipts
! during the last year exceeded ex-
penditures, including a considera-
BILE appropriation for improvements
equaled by any other local hospital.

of the hospital staff.
