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

‘country checks,”
Now, the
future; that with such development, ad-
vantage must accrue to the University
as a whole, is admitted by all. 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?

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.

sity of California contributes a valuable
