THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Charles Cassedy Bass, M.D., D.Sc. Dean New Orleans has been the leading medical center of the entire South and Southwest for almost one hundred years. Wherever new ideas in medical progress have appeared, the medical profession of New Orleans has either reflected that progress promptly or has taken a leading part in its elucidation. Some of the scientific researches and contributions of the medical profession of New Orleans have commanded attention and high esteem in every civilized country in the world. Students and doctors from every state in the Union, and from many foreign countries, come to New Orleans for medical training. To meet the ever increasing needs in this direction, Tulane has erected a new Clinic Building, adjoining our great Charity Hospital, which provides the most complete and most extensive facilities for the best care of patients, com- bined with the best opportunities for a thorough study of diseases by the staff and students of the School of Medicine. Provision is also made in the new Hutchinson Memorial for the headquarters of the organ- ized medical profession of the city and state, represented by the Orleans Parish Medical Society and the Louisiana State Medical Society. Sufficient space is provided in the building for a library that will fall within the group of the largest five in the United States and will be a genuine storehouse of medical knowledge. • PAGE TWENTY-NINE •
