THE "PICKLE FACTORY" PERIOD
149
Figure 49.—After 15 years of operation in the Museum building, the Army Medical School moved in 1910 to rented quarters on Louisiana Avenue.
Major Russell also recommended that a branch of the Museum be established in the new building, "since a considerable part of the specimens, exhibits, etc., of the Museum has been set aside for and are regularly used in the instruction of the classes of student officers" and it would be "impracticable to move articles of this character back and forth between the two buildings." Dr. John S. Neate, who had taken his medical degree since serving the Yellow Fever Board in Cuba and was then microscopist of the Museum, was recommended to have the custody and care of the branch.[1]
