The Department has not stood still either in Plant or Personnel: though as was stated last year, owing to the physical con- struction of the hospital building, the changes in Plant have been rearrangements rather than any new construction-reap rangement made to facilitate the daily work of the Students and Residents. One among the improvements should be mentioned the floor Laboratory of the Gyne- cological side, This has been enlarged and completely re-equipped-and now that the students have their working Laboratory in the Pediatric Annex, we are able to keep the Gynecological Laboratory in better order and routine work is less disturbed. I feel sure that the student body as a whole and l928 particularly, will welcome the news that the O. S. House is being remodeled and that the class of 1928 which lives in 98 Amity Street will have light, heat and com- fort. We have completely reconstructed and rebuilt the interior and have moved the Gynecological Clinics over from the Pol- hemus to the first floor of the O. S. House. The basement is being rearranged for Doctor Beck's Pre- and Post-natal Clinics: While the second floor has been taken as a living room for the boys. We will also have on this floor a small Research Laboratory which may be used by any of the Staff or Student body who 'may have Research inclinations or who may wish to follow out a special line of u3.4.r:,.1.-13.445 . , . , , .

The top floor will remain as the dor- mitory-but think of it! besides having clean beds, there will be light, heat, comfortable chairs and a tiled shower bath-we can hardly wait for the completion of the work to hear the enthusiastic expressions of appro- bation from the incoming Senior Class. Our training in Obstetrics which has long been recognized as one of the best in the coun- try, will be further strengthened by the plan to institute Clinical Instruction in Obstetrics and Gynecology during the Junior year. This plan we believe will correlate the Clinical and Laboratory work and materially improve the course giving our men a much wider train- ing. Our Pathological Department which we established two years ago under the direction of Doctor Samuel A. Wolfe, has recently re- ceived National recognition: for the Ameri- can College of Surgeons has asked us to have photographs and lantern slides made of our Pathological reports, for they have found them to be so concise yet complete that they believe that they should be a model for the Pathological Departments throughout the country. During the past year we have had monthly Clinical and Pathological Conferences for the Staff and Internes. At the Clinical meetings all mortalities have been considered and our errors and omissions freely discussed. No case has had its record closed unless cleared. We have been fortunate in obtaining consents for autopsies-hence many of the records are 4 , 4 I s 9 9 Q , , , S , V W f,'1'?'L'W'V !'f'F'l'7l' P .'YfW.
