to provide the financial framework in which the Division can continue to fulfill its unique func- tion. Considerable construction work lies ahead. Drexel Avenue will be closed and a building will connect Billings Hospital and Lying-in Hospital. This will permit expansion, for instance, of the Department of Psychiatry and the extension of the research laboratories of the Department of Obstet- rics and Gynecology. New housing facilities for residents, interns, and student nurses are being planned. Similarly, the basic sciences 0f biochem- istry and physiology Will be aided by the antici- pated remodelling of Abbott Hall. In the fmal analysis, the future strength of the Division rests not merely upon its physical facili- ties, but more so on the greatness of the faculty. From the Bachelorts level up, the Division endeav- ors to provide the stimulating framework in which the students Wiljl develop into men that shall prove equal to the exciting problems that lie ahead in the biological sciences.

The Dean returned to the University on a full time basis early in 1957. The problems facing him were numerous, but their common element concerned the maintenance and development of the Division as a great center of research and teaching. A unique aspect is that the Medical School is an integrated unit of the Divi- sion. The absence of sharp barriers between clin- ical studies and basic research is f ndamental to the advance of medical science, fokxample. The Block bequest of over $17,000,000 Will do much
