of the clinical departments are salaried teachers attached to the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Resources available for maintenance: The income from tuition fees is $60,542, that from endowments $19,687, making a total of $80,229. The budget calls for $102,429, not including salaries of the clinical faculty and other items carried by the Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is thus actually an integral part of the medical school. The productive hospital endowments now aggregate $3,632,289, not including the bequests for the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic and the Harriet Lane Johnson Home for Children.

atofities: These facilities are in every respect unexcelled. As the institution has been from the beginning on a graduate basis, teaching and research have been always equally prominent in its activities.

Clinical facilities: The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Dispensary provide practically ideal opportunities. The medical staff of the hospital and the clinical faculty of the medical school are identical; the scientific laboratories ranged around the hospital are in close touch with clinical problems, immediate and investigative. The medical school plant is thus an organic whole, in which laboratories and clinics are inextricably interwoven. Recent foundations have greatly augmented the original hospital plant in the direction of psychiatry, pediatrics, and tuberculosis. Three hundred and eighty-five beds under complete control are now available.

The dispensary is largely attended, and is admirably conducted from the standpoint of both public service and pedagogic efficiency.

Date of visit: December, 1909.

(2) College of Physicians and Surgeons. Established 1872. An independent institution.

Entrance requirement: Less than a high school education.

Attendance: 252.

Teaching staff: 59, of whom 21 are professors, 38 of other grade. One teacher devotes his entire time to medical instruction.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $39,000.

Laboratory facilities: Ordinary working laboratories are provided for bacteriology, histology, and pathology, including surgical pathology; the chemical laboratory provides satisfactorily for general chemistry. The dissecting-room is fair, as far as it goes. There is no experimental pharmacology and no student work in experimental physiology. The museum consists of several hundred specimens; the library, of which there is a librarian in charge, of perhaps 1500 volumes and a few current periodicals. The undeveloped character of the laboratories is due, (1) to the pay-
