At the Pathological Conferences the specimens collected at operation or au- topsy are described and demonstrated both microscopically and macroscopically before the entire Staff with the idea of correlating the Clinical and Pathological ends of Gynecol- ogy. The wholesome attendance at these conferences is evidence of the keen interest which the work has stimulated and of the tremendous importance which knowledge of Pathology has on Medicine. The continuance of this work has necessitated the appoint- ment of a Resident Pathologist in Obstetrics and Gynecology. This adds a fourth year to the service, but makes the training more complete, for the surgeon with a pathological background can better picture the workings of nature and use his skill to aid it. The Extramural Teaching under the able supervision of Doctors Bonner and Rons- heim at the Brooklyn Jewish Hospital: Doc- tors Gordon and Welton at the Greenpoint and Doctors Pfeiffer, Mills, Duncan and Rynd at the Kings County Hospital has been most satisfactory and if arrangements could be made at the County Hospital to house the men assigned to Obstetrics, similar to those in operation at the Jewish and Greenpoint. little more could be asked for. During the past school year the Extra- mural men have held a series of dry clinics and given lectures at the College covering dif- ferent phases of Obstetrics and Gynecology. These have been most instructive and are thoroughly enjoyed by the members of the Senior Class. Their efforts to teach and stim- ulate the interest of the various groups of men assigned to them is worthy of the high- est comment. ' ,v.,1. .,...-.... .rv-.. ..... 'XA ' 'X ' ,'.,,,y-gm ' Another innovation has been introduced this year which we believe will be productive of good results, a privilege which but few undergraduates have, namely: personal in- struction in Anesthesia under the guidance of our competent chief anesthetist, Mrs. Nash. She is teaching the clinical phases of anes- thesia to the members of the Junior Class. We hope that the scope of this work will be broadened in 'the near future so that every man will have suflicient experience to safely administer an anesthetic. Many of the theses and collective reviews which have been handed in by the Seniors have been of exceptional merit. This work has necessitated the use of the history room. college library and the library of the Medical Society of the County of Kings-thus the student has had his first real taste of the joy of perusing medical literature and has come in contact with product of minds other than those ofthe teaching faculty. V The-'Department has been represented at manly fofithe meetings of the State and Na- tionallsdcieties and its members have contrib- uted laviishlyfto medical literature. Some of the more notable contributions were those of Doctors Matthews, Beck, Wolfe, Mazzola and the Director, who have addressed meet- ings in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, W'is- consin, Michigan, Minnesota. West Virginia, New York, L1'1ifi0is, Connecticut, Pennsyl- vania, Massachusetts and Canada. Surely our Department has been far-reaching in its pro- ductivity-and while it may be said that the productions are for the most part clinical studies-our patients, and in the last analysis it is the patients, have beneited from these studies.

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.
