in general, good. This is particularly true of anatomy, which is admirably cared for. The departments of pathology and physiology lack a sufficient number of skilled assistants. An excellent museum and books are at hand.
Clinical facilities: The university hospital is, as it now stands, too small; the amount of material available in medicine, obstetrics, and contagious diseases has been very limited. An appropriation of $75,000 has, however, been made for the purpose of increasing the hospital capacity.

Supplementary clinical material is obtainable at the Sisters' Hospital and the Tuberculosis Sanitarium.
The dispensary is just in process of development. The dispensary clinic is so far largely limited to the eye, ear, nose, and throat.

General Considerations
Iowa is a state in which there are now between two and three times as many doctors as are really needed. The population of the state is increasing slowly, if at all. There
