SAMARITAN HOSPITAL LONG ago, before any of us were classified as to our position in utero, a group of public-spirited citizens inoculated with the virus of activity brought about the Samari tan Hospital. This was in April, 1874. The history of this hospital is written large in the records of medical advancement at T. U. From most humble beginning, its growth has been rapid and marvelous. Here came we, in our clinical years, more than anxious to enact our slight role in the perpetuation of the noble ideals of its founders. With the wealth of clinical material furnished us under the guidance of our faculty we have endeavored to acquire those principles of medicine upon which rest a lifetime of successful service. Within our sojourn, the system of teach' ing as practised by the greatest medical institutions has been instituted at the Samaritan. Without doubt, tremendous advantages have been gained by this individual clinical instruc' tion. The imposing edifices fronting Broad, Ontario, and Park Streets have contained within their walls memories which will ever be precious to us. These buildings are erected in a style which is a tribute to architectural beauty. Further additions are easily possible. Only recently the bed capacity has been increased by the Roosevelt Hospital Memorial Floor and more beds for ward patients are in the process of building. WHAT OF THE FUTURE? Indeed what is written today may be history tomorrow, for the Samaritan Hospital is in a transitional period of growth. It is keeping pace with the Greater Temple University, and with the ever-increasing demands of the community, members of the Medical School, and by the great reputation it has earned. GREATHEART MATERNITY HOSPITAL JN THE Greatheart Maternity Hospital, that broad-visioned and beloved humanitarian, Russell H. Conwell, set into existence another instrument for the administration of good to the community and service to humanity. Typical of Temple University’s history, it too, had a humble inception. It was dedicated by Dr. Conwell on April 27, 1923, consisting of thirty beds but which have since been doubled. The medical staff is composed of members of our obstetrical faculty and to them we owe our knowledge of practical obstetrics. It would not be amiss to mention the staff of graduate nurses who have always aided and encouraged us as embryo obstetricians. T irentysix
