The Harvard Medical School in China has been steadily increasing its accommodations with the aid of donations from graduates of the University in the United States. The following article from the Alumni Bulletin gives an insight into the work of the institution:

"The academic year 1913-14 closed last June. Five Chinese students graduated and received degrees from the Corporation on the recommendation of the Faculty. Authority to grant degrees was conferred on the School last May by the Massachusetts Legislature. The graduates above referred to have already found useful appointments in China,--in mission hospitals, medical schools, etc. One of them has joined the staff of this Schools. That there exists in China a demand for native doctors and health officers trained in the best medical knowledge and skill of the modern world is beyond doubt. Before long it may be expected that the Chinese government will officially sanction and confirm the degree given by this Schools, and by some others.

"One of the dormitories of the Medical, School has been converted into a small hospital of 40 beds. This has been equipped for third class (native) patients at an outlay from current funds of $2,200. In the School's main building there exists already accommodation for some 20 patients--chiefly first and second class.

"A new dormitory, to accommodate 60 students, has just been built on the School premises at the expense of the Chinese Red Cross Society.

"The department of anatomy has been granted money necessary to its efficiency, not money enough, but $1,00,--all that could be spared at present. The surgical department under Dr. C. A. Hedblom has been steadily improved, nearly $5,000, the gift of Mr. Dane, Harvard '92, having now been spent for instruments and equipment.

"The Faculty in Shanghai is animated by an admirable esprit de corps' and is doing excellent work. The School is gaining in prestige and in efficiency; and fortunately it has been finding in the United States among Harvard men and others, as also among broad-minded and generous women, staunch friends whose faith in its value has helped to place it on sound and enduring foundations. From one such supporter an endowment gift of $25,000 has been received."
