The new Roch- ester Methodist Hospital is the realization of that dream. The formal dedication service took place on Friday, October 21, 1966. Bishop T. Otto Nall, Resident Bishop, Minnesota Area, Methodist Church pronounced the Act of Oonsecration. We consecrate this building to the skill and wisdom that bring relief and cure, and to the patient research that uncovers fresh resources with which to serve the public healthf' On Saturday and Sunday October 22 and 23, the hospital was open to the public for preview tours before the big move which is expected to be late in November or early December. Approximately eleven thousand people took the eighty minute tour through the hospital. Life for this new Rochester Methodist Hospital is just beginning. What will be its destiny? The very nature of the building gives one a clue. Gone is the box like structure which characterized the hospitals of the last generation. XfVe have a building designed so that all medical, nursing and educational activities have as their central objective better service to the patient. The structural relationships of the rooms and the various departments incorporated under its roof is proof that thorough consider- ation was given in the planning to beauty as well as function. Its challenges are great and its future inviting. To all alumni we extend a special invitation to visit the new clinical areas in the building. Wfe know all M-K people past and present are proud of this beautiful new facility at 201 West Center Street. 39 , . nf, , ' H' N17z3fgg,. .. 'A i N. 'Mia

JUIII 321101511111 IIUIUI The tentative plans for the present Main Hospital building after we move into the new hospital are: The building will again be known as the Colonial Building. The first four floors of the north Knew wing? will become Clara Madsen Hall, a residence for M-K students replacing Maxwell and Edith Mayo Halls. This will be named after Mrs. Madsen who in July of 1959 presented the school with 314,000 to be used for scholarships for students. The space now occupied by the kitchen, dining and north part of lobby, will be converted into reception, living room, lounge and recreation space for students. The Nursing Arts department may be housed on the fifth floor Qsouth ward ana' B wardj. Student Health Service could be set up on fifth floor where the old nursery used to be located. The Pink Ladies Upstairs Bargain Basement may be moved to the lower level which is now occupied by the X-ray department. The second floor has been proposed to be used as an adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit. The fifth and sixth floors of the north wing may be set up as a Clinical Research Center.
