THE STANFORD HOSPITAL A X IDEAL surgical hospital with l)etter facilities for advauce- inciit of science and for ai mmodation of the public is -% what is aimed at in the new Stanford Hospital, now nearing -L - completion. The hospital is being built l)y the University at a cost of half a million dollars. It becomes the hospital of the University, while old Lane Hospital will continue as a clinic. Bakewell Brown designed the new hospital, which forms a complete surgical unit, with operating rooms and their accessories and wards and private rooms. The Stanford Hospital is being erected by George Wagner, the San Francisco contractor. The new building, situated near the old Lane Hospital in San Francisco, has a T-shaped plan. This gives the greatest amount of air and light jjossible for the lot, and enables placing all service rooms and operating rooms on the north exposure, with wards and jirivate rooms for patients on the south, where they will get the maximum of sunlight. The ground and first floors are practically all devoted to other uses than tliose of patients. On the front wing of the ground floor are the staff ' s olhces and examination rooms. In the reai- of this floor are the X-ray photo- graphic, Zander special exer- cises, and elec- trical rooms for treatment of liaticnts. The internes of the Univer- sity and the su| erinten(l( ' nt have their head- (piarters on the first floor front wing. Here also is an overflow FRONT KLK ATH). UL.L) LANK Hu.sl ' l . ' AI.

t ■..-ts- t THE ROBLE DORMITOHIES WdMKx of Stanford will have a new lionu ' liack of the present site of Hohle. and a short distance farther from the i|nad. George W. Kelham of San Francisco has designed the new iiome, whicli is to honse two hnndred women and make it possible for all of the live hnndred to live ou the eamjnis, approximately three hnndred living in sororities. The new dorms will be bnilt in sections aronnd a conrt, with two separate dining halls and fonr reception rooms. Thongh lionsed in one connected bnilding the new home of the women will practically be fonr dormitories. They will be constrncted aroiuid a central court. The architects have promised that the new dorms will be mmsnally homelike, despite their great size. The exterior of the structure will be of cement with a tile roof, in harmony with the quadrangle buildings. Two types of rooms are called for, single rooms and suites of three rooms including two bedrooms and a conunon study. The women ' s dormitories will cost over two hundred and sev- enty-five thousand dollars, and will be as permanent structures as can be built. Old Koble will be toi ' u down. Only women will live on the west side of the tjuads when plans are comi)lete. [30]
