PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE The next session, 1937-38, will be the one hundredth of our institution. The full history of this period wou ' d justify several volumes. A few comparisons and contrasts only will be in order here. The institution has developed from one school, medicine, to four schools, medicine, nursing, dentisir ' , and pharmacy, with the Saint Philip school of nursing and public health nursing; from a student body of forty-six to a student body of over six hundred fifty; from a faculty of six to a facultv of more than two hundred; from one rented budding for teaching and the care of patients to a plant worth three million dollars; from a few bed patients each year to more than forty thousand patients in hospitals and clinics; from a curriculum in medicine of two years of five months each, the second largely a repetition of the first, to rather elaborate modern curricula with equally replete admis- sion requirements; from an operating budget of a few thousand dollars to a current budget of three-quarters of a million dollars; from a few graduates to many; from local influence to national prestige; from a private institution to a State institution; from a system of all part- time teachers to a considerable extension of whole-time teachers and important contributions from the part-time group. Yet, let it he said, that the developments of the century are largely futile unless emphasis is upon quality rather than quantity. This should appear in the preparation, work, and character of the student body, in the instruction offered, in the care of the sick, in education for better health, in atmosphere, m influence, and in the physical beauty of the institution. All or this lays a heavy responsibility on everyone within the institution, upon its graduates, and upon its friends. If wise, an institution consolidates the gains of the past and plans even better for the future. In the approaching Centennial all of us will have an important part to pla ' . W. T. SANGER, Pyaulvnt.
