Flhv liniurraitg Mnapital HE University Hospital is an outgrowth of the All Saint's The cornerstone was laid on a blustery cold March day of 1881, the Hon. John L. Peck delivering the principal address. Father Jardine, the rector of St Mary s Episcopal church, was one of the prime movers in the building of this hospital. It was Miss Fitzgerald, or as she was afterwards known as Sister Isabel, who gathered the funds to buy the ground and erect the building and the work was done with dispatch in accordance with the spirit of the then booming Kansas City. For some years the hospital was under the manage- ment of St. Mary's church, superintended by Sister Isabel, but after the death of Father Jardine, St. Mary's, you might say, practically died and in the disorganization of this parish, the hospital began to disintegrate. Mr. Tyler, a member of the church, placed a loan on the property and while he lived he protected its interest, as well as he could. But at his death it seemed that Sister Isabel began to lose courage and finally the prop- erty passed into the hands of the receiver, and was eventually controlled by one of the banks. Then the trustees -of the college leased the property from year to year, for sev- eral years, each one of the trustees trying his hand as manager until about ten years ago, they bought the property and changed its name from All Saints and called it by the name that it now bears, The University Hospital. During the previous years of its existence the hospital was not self supporting, requiring a sum of several hundred dol- lars each year to be supplied by the University Medical College to meet the deficit. At the time it was bought by the trustees, it had run behind about thirty-five hun- d-red dollars, but since then for the past five years it has been self suppo-rting, and the last four, since its new additions, it has not only paid expenses, but has bought and paid for three of four thousand dollars worth of equipments. The management of the hospi- tal has kept uppermost in mind the importance of the enforcement of perfect sanitation, good equipment and especially efficient, courteous and impartial service. And it is their desire that the profession appreciate the fact that no favoritism' is shown here, not even to the trustees. Any doctor sending patients to the hospital may rest assured that his interests will be conscientiously and carefully guarded. The hospital has n-ow forty-two rooms and four wards and can accommodate- seventy-five or eighty patient-s. They have thirty-six nurses of their own production, five internes, a superintendent and besides a Lord Chesterfield-Dr. Frankenburger, as resident physician, who is here night and day, with eternal vigilance in the interest of all patients and doctors. The watch- word is cleanliness, efficiency, faithfulness, loyalty and obedience. The present trustees are: DR. FLAVEL B. TIFFANY. DR. GEORGE DAVIS. DR. SAMUEL C. JAMES. DR. WALTER CROSS. DR. JABEZ N. JACKSON. DR. C. A. RITTER. DR. JAMES E. LOGAN. DR. JOHN PUNTON. DR. J. M. FRANKENBURGER. DR. A. H. CORDIER.
