f'5Q.f1.7lfiCi5 Judge Harvey's name will always be remembered, as he was the founder of our home, which has meant so much to us these past three years. With its modern furnishings the beautiful building can hardly be excelled. With the growth of the hospital and the demand for more room, the. East Wing was completed, and ready for occupancy in 1912. In June, 1916, the last purchase to the hospital was made when the O. Ziegler property was purchased, to be used as a contagious annex, and which has also served as a home for ex-service men, to recuperate in health. It is a beautiful building and has been dedicated to the memory of Mayor Reichenbach, a big-hearted man, who did a great deal towards the welfare of the hospital. It is a source of pride to us when we consider the rapid progress our institution has made, including the addition of a new, well-equipped labora- tory and X-Ray department, which has been of great advantage to the medical profession. A dispensory, with daily clinics, has been opened which has been of great value in the uplifting of the health of the community, and giving aid to the needy. Page T hirty- five

Clifisfnrg nf Qtllenfnfnn EQUHJJHHI E can little realize .that the institution from WhiCh we are about to graduate, with its many advantages and 11T1DI'0VC1T1e1113S, had been started nearly thirty years ago, when the first Steps were taken by resolution of City Council, November 1, 1892. On December 27, 1892, the Allentown Hospital received its name, cherished by all of us, as it has meant so much for us and helped us toward a profession whereby we are able to help humanity. From 1893 to 1895 not much had been done towards the hospital, but on December 13, 1895, the first Constitution and By-Laws for the govern- ing of the hospital was adopted, and on that day the Hospital Association started with 226 members. 5 March 6, 1897, the purchase of the present site of the hospital was re- ported, by a committee, consisting of the members Col. Trexler, Judge Trexler, Henry Leh, and Hiram Shimer. On September 28, 1897, the building was begun, and two years later, on February 10, 1899, the first beds an dother equipment for the hospital were bought, and the hospital started with Dr. Orlando Fegley as Chief- Surgeon, with Dr. C. D. Schaeffer as his assistant, and J. F. Yost, Daniel Heistand, and R. E. Albright. Chief physician was Dr. W. H. Hartzell, with assistants Dr. C. S. Martin, C. J. Otto, H. H. Herbst, and I. F. Huebner. The work began on May 22, 1899, when the first patient was admitted, with a fratured femur. On July 9, 1899, a great event took- place when Dr. C. D. Schaeier be- came Chief-Surgeon, and who today remains our beloved Chief. One can hardly realize the w d f l ' n . on er u work he has done in the past twenty-two years. His life has been one of sacrifice, using his knowledge and skill f01' helping humanity and relieving suffering. During the first six months 168 patients had been treated. I ' June 6, 1902, a new addition was put to th h 't 1 k West Wing.
