run in from the power company to be used in the event of an emergency. New lighting equipment has recently been installed in the Pit. This new equipment has replaced older lighting facilities, and was the gift of the Alpha Phi Omega National Service Frate rnity. Both institutional and transitory care are provided for students, and many students take advantage of the facilities offered to have necessary operations and treatment, every department of the hospital being at the disposal of the student for his own personal welfare. - Without a doubt the K. C. O. S. Hospital provides an indispensable service to the community. The Old Doctor crossed the threshold daily in the early years of this build- ing, bringing the cheerful confidence that instilled hope and joy in the hearts of the ill, and a greater desire to grasp his teachings on the part of the staff. He had faith in this new science, and in this strong and rock-like faith he builded this insti- tution which stands today as a humble tribute to the sage guidance and faith of a noble heart. Many indigents who hnd themselves marooned on life's way with no help nor guidance in illness hnd solace here, wh.ere they receive gratuitous service which is of the same calibre as rendered to the private patients. But these services only add to the dignity and charm of this old building so widely known throughout the pro- fession. Internships in the hospital are iilled by members of the senior class, who may serve an additional six months to a year in one of the specialties which are headed by the doctors having headquarters here.
