Through sixty-five years we have served you! Now we would serve more fully, more widely! ln our time, our Hospital has ministered to 138,106 patients, a number which is about one-fourteenth of the present population of Brooklyn. Our Medical College has graduated 3,221 doctors of medicine, of this number one- fourth, or 806, are today serving Brooklyn as physicians and surgeons, and another 400 are serving in Manhattan. Our Nurses' Training School. which was founded in 1883, has turned out 650 graduate nurses. Of this number, -150 have served in the homes of Brooklyn! Will you give to us freely, gladly, in order that we may better give to you P During the past year, the Department of Bacteriology has examined about 4,000 specimens from the Hospital. The major portion of the routine work has been done by Miss Margaret Bellows and Mr. john Montanus. During the past summer, .valuable aid was rendered by Mr. Chapman and Mr. Shields, who served as volunteer student assistants. Mr. Eggerth, Assistant Professor, published during the year a paper, along with Miss Bellows, entitled: Flocculation of Bacteria by Proteins in General Physiology July 4-, 1922, 669-680. VVADE W.

It is rather a time for stressing the needs and aspirations of the institu- tion as a whole and, perhaps, it would not be amiss to briefly chronicle a few of its past achievements, in order that the future's promise may be more wholly envisaged. The Long lsland College Hospital, since the year 1860, at which time the Col- lege became an integral part of the Hospital, has come a long and often arduous way. From our present vantage point, it is but fitting that we look back over the sixty-three years the institution has traveled, in order that from past mistakes we may draw knowl- edge and from past accomplishments fresh courage for the road ahead. lt has been a long road, often a hard road, and not always a straight road. There have been quag- mires in which our feet have become temporarily bogged, there have been by-paths into which we have temporarily strayed. But mark you this: our feet have strayed, but always they have come back to the main roadg we have been temporarily bogged, but always our feet have won free. And this is because true leaders have always arisen in our midst when peril grew most grave, true saviors came forward when difficulties loomed most dark! 'l'his, you will find, is the history of every worthy institution founded on the watch-word of service. Listen to the words of the first declaration of faith issued by the Long lsland College Hospital, in April, 1858: Here the unfortunate, the friendless and the destitute will find a home when afflicted by sickness, their wants be relieved, and the best medical attendance supplied to them. lf unable to pay for these benefits they are freely bestowed without charge to any and all. ,Y That first declaration of faith and 5l'7 Z'il'c'f, solemnly subscribed to by the Hospital's founders remains today the banner under which the Long Island College Hospital goes forward. And it is because the fields of service have so widened since the days of the pioneers, because the responsibilities have so increased as medical knowledge has Iuyv f01'ij'-Hire?

He knew how the north rains slash, The teeth of the winds bite deep, Knew how the forests war Over a world asleep. Swarthy and lean and hard, Savage as wind and rain, He knew how the gaunt wolf feels Gnawed by the hunger-pain. Adam, wrestler with storms, Battled and laughed and died, And still to the savage joust The rains and the lean Winds ride. But the sons of Adam wax fatg Flaccid and fearful they drowse, And count their beads in the dark When the lean hosts rouse: gf Mumble fat prayers in their fear. Then turnitheir face to the wallg Adam walked like a many But the sons of Adam crawl. WADE OLIVER. At the Snhaking nf the Eauun. fPoetry, January, 19233 Pitiful and empty are thy daughters' hands O Lord, White with emptiness their hands, and stinging red their eyes For the unreturning feet of them that trusted in the sword. And the night is heavy with their cries! Pitiful and empty are the hearths whereby have stood The clean. fiery lads of yester-eve who come not home again- The lads who pledged their troth in song and paid the score in blood. And the night is ghostly with the slain! Pitiful and empty. Lord, thv daughters' breasts are grown: Their heavy hearts and sterile wombs are sown with bitter seeds That will yield an acrid harvest ere the bitter seed is blown. And the night is pregnant with their need! Pitiful and empty. Now the seed is sown, O Lord, The winds of longing stir the flames of fury in their paths. Oh. woe betide the kings of men when women break the sword! And the dawn is shaken with their wrath! , WADE OLIVER reg: EQ by iw? las N C -R: lik!! , ,H sg, V1 -H, if llil ,W lik ll? l :V 1 , li il X J fi? , 5 A ltr Ham DJ E Ha! 1 It J. 1 tw lg, Q1 iii ri ,i , le?
