Temple University Hos pital has always been an outstanding sentinel on North Broad Street, where she extends her branches out to the surrounding sections and beckons them if they need help. It has been the abode of the Junior and Senior classes since the inception of the medical school, but now tradition breaks, and we have a similar sentinel standing guard on the opposite side of the street which will be the future home of all of the students. The Temple University Hospital has, with its enormous growth and service, found it necessary to expand, thus, we find the new surgical ward being built on the north wing of the old main structure. This increase of forty beds will bring the bed capacity to three hundred and seventy. This will give ample facilities for teaching bedside material in the future. The growth of Temple University Hospital has ad' vanced hand in hand with the additions to the faculty, new men bringing new ideas to an institution already great and striving to be greater.

GAP IP EY§© N -G IP PAY IP IEAIPY PCSPIYaVP IT WAS back in the month of April and the year of 1923, that the Greatheart Hospital was established at 1810-12 Spring Garden Street as a Maternity Hospital for the students of Temple Medical School. Since that time, the name has been changed to Garretson-Greatheart and many innovations accorded the institution which makes it today one of the most modern Maternity Hospitals in the East. Then, too, the external appearances have been beautified by the addition of the “sunken gardens and the gateway connecting the hospital and the adjoining administration building at the Spring Garden Street entrance. The course of Obstetrics includes for each student two weeks of practical training at the Maternity Hospital, during which time the student lives at the institution. A student is assigned to duty as “student intern every Monday morning. When this “junior intern” has served one week, he becomes “senior intern” for one week, each student serving two weeks at a time. Thus, there are two “student interns always on duty. This gives each and every student the most concise and best practical teaching possible, because of the obstetrical experience afforded him in the hospital and in the home under the capable supervision of members of the Obstetrical faculty.
