Resources available for maintenance: The school shares the general funds of Washington University. Its fee income is $21,000; its budget (1909-10) $51,265, (not including $$0,000 spent on the University Hospital.'). Productive endowments to the extent of $1,500,000 will become available in 19'.0-11. Laboratortdfacilities: These have hitherto sufficed for o'pIy routine work in the fundamental branches, but the reorganization on productive modern lines, already under way, will shortly be completely effected. The mtiseum, though small, is good; a start towards a modern medical library has been made. Clinical facilities: The school has its own hospital of 98 'leds, one-fourth of them fi'ee; and has access to other hospitals on the usual footing.!The amount of material thus available was fair; but the close affiliation which has i been made with the trustees of the Barnes and the Children's Hospitals revolutio'pizes the clinical situation of the school. The school controls two dispensaries, wone connoted with the University Hospital, the other situated in the medical school bui!'ding. Their combined attendance is very large.
