(38> MY DAY IN NEW YORK j Place, Astor House. a Time, 12 to 4, ee Medical School Finances, {Editorial in Yale Medical Journal.] The cordial reception. which has greeted the circular of the Bi-centennial Committee and the substantial returns which are already flowing in suggest a word to our readers in behalf of the Bj- centennial movement in general, and more particularly in regard to the need of endowment for the Medical Depart- ment. The names of more than seven hundred medical men are in the list of alumni of Yale. If every one of these should contribute at this time, and should designate his subscription as for the Medical Department, material aid would be afforded in the development oi this department of the University. During the past decade no department of the University has experienced such rapid and extensive development as the Medical School. When we attempt to discover the causes which have led to this extraordinary development, two jactors stand out in special relief—con- sistent raising of the standard of scholarship and continual increase in the opportunities afforded students to acquire here a thorough training in medicine. With elevation of the stand- ard has come increase in the number of those desiring to avail themselves of the opportunities offered. point we would particularly impress is the fact that with the increase in the number of students and. with the lengthening of the curriculum to. four years, both necessitating very consid- erable increase in the amount of in- struction provided, there has been no commensurate increase in the financial resources of the Medical School. That the tide is turning in the right direc- tion is evident from the recent addition to the endowment fund of the Medical Department of the Bliss and Hunt be- quests, the former of which was left to be applied by the President for the best interests of the University. If, then, in spite of financial embarrassment, the growth of the Medical School has been so considerable, may we not expect that with greater resources and consequtunt greater opportunity for affording the highest type of medical education there shall be even greater development in the Writing Essays Send subject to us and at a small cost we will scour the periodi- cal literature of the world and send you the best comments of the best minds as soon as they appear.

As aptly put forth by Prof, William H. Welch in the annual address in medicine, de- livered at Commencement in 1888: “In no other direction could this University expend with greater promise of useful- ness and of renown than in the line of liberal support of the highest and most scientific medical education.’ This, under the lead of Professor Welch, has been developed at Johns Hopkins, and has there brought great renown the world over to the University. Nothing except financial embarrassment stands in the way of similar development at Yale, with its consequent reflection of credit to the whole University. The present time seems to us particularly appropriate to the wide circulation of these facts, in the hope that the medical alumni of Yale may be led to add their subscriptions in honor of Yale’s Bi- centennial to the endowment fund of the Medical Department. That desig- nation of the purpose to which sub- scriptions may be made is intended by the committee, is manifest from their publication of a list of the special needs of the University at this time. Refer- ence to this list will show two items particularly applying to the Medical Department: Clinical Building and Pathological Institute, for which $100,- 000 is required; and Fund for Instruc- tion, for which $200,000, a sum urgently required for imediate needs, is asked. May not each medical alumnus of the © University be relied upon to assist in the accumulation of these funds? SEELEY The Vale Review for May. The Yale Review for May discusses editorially the policy of the New York banks of charging for the collection of pointing out the parallel in the earlier policy of the Bank of England; it also discusses State legislation and corporation in connec- tion with the Ford franchise tax bill in New York and the Industrial Commis-. sion now in session; the editorial notes also cover questions of colonial ad- ministration and give the result of a statistical inquiry into the occupation of the graduates of Yale between 1883 and 1892, the occupation of their fathers, and their movements from the place of their birth to that of their permanent settlement. Professor Henry E. Bourne, 783, of Western Reserve University, on the French Experiment at Colonizing the Far East, of which interesting and diffi- cult subject he has made a special study. Professor C. C. Plehn, of the Univer- sity of California contributes a valuable paper on the Taxation of Mortgages in Cahtornin;-- and Dr. H. E.Powers writes on the present Political Drift of Germany. The book reviews are by Professor W. G. Sumner (Simkho- vitsch, Feldgemeinschaft in Russland); Mr. J. M.
