■lAg K Osteophatic College and Hospital of Philadelphia ' ITH the purchase of the tract of land at Forty-Eighth and Spruce Streets, The Osteopathic College and Hospital has its new home assured. A new plan for the buildings is still in the hands of the architect and we are unable to give out any more information about it than that the buildings will be planned on the unit system, so that ample provision is made for the increasing needs of future years. There is to be an administration building in the center of the group and from either side will extend the wings.. ..one to be devoted to the College classrooms and laboratories and the other to be the Marion Child ' s Unit of the Osteopathic Hospital. Unusual efforts have been made to locate this new college in a place which will be easily accessible and which will provide amply for the needs of the School, the Clinic and the Hospital at the same time that it serves as a representative monument to the great progress made in the science and profession of Osteopathy since its first recognition in the form of a college of instruc- tion. The Philadelphia College of Osteopathy was founded in 1899 and has, since that time, made several moves always due to its need of more space. Now, in this year which marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, we are setting the date for another memorial by the erection of the new building which will express to the world at large the thought that Osteopathy has attained a definite status and is meeting the other branches of the medical profession on an equal footing.
