Georgetown Endowment Association.

For nearly three-fourths of a CEN

1T is to maintain its present standing
as a "class A. school. 1t is the hope
of the university to raise an endow-
ment of at least $1,000.000 for the
medical school and hospital, so as to
enable the institutions to keep up
with the latest laboratory equipment.
The school, with little or no en-
dowment cannot conform to the re-
quirements of class A schools" said

Georgetown staff. land many such

Already this action has been taken
by more than one medical school con-
nected with Catholic teaching insti-
'tutions. 1t is very certain in a short
time no university under Catholic
control will have a school of medi-
cine unless steps are taken at the
earliest possible moment to endow at

THE question as to whether Catho-
lie medical schools are needed is an
swered by the fact that such schools
have been founded and have been
we'll supported in the past. A great
medical school may be said to be
school which has produced great
physicians The brilliant roster of
the graduates of the medical depart
ment of Georgetown University fixes
its status as teaching institution.
ITO have a medical school under
any auspices properly endowed and
equipped will require a minimum of
s1,000,000. The plant at Georgetown
is valuable and the laboratory equip
ment fairly adequate though capable
of improvement To maintain this
splendid old institution as class A
school will require, under the ever
rising standards, a sum many times
the amount of the fees paid by stu
dents each year.
