For New Clinic
The hammering and sawing he does is for the Service's own clinic, which will be needed in place of the Employees' Clinic when patients start to flock in. When this extra need became apparent recently, the University had already donated the office space (mainly for statisticians, etc.) at 79 Mount Auburn and had remodelled it. Harvard also came through with the next-door property-77 Mount Auburn-for the clinic.
Munro reasoned that the University had done enough and that it would be a simple task to spare them the expense of renovating. Liking the work and knowing that he could get vets to help him, he convinced Lehman Hall that he could do a professional job.
He recruited Leon E. Edwards '51, a first-term veteran student who expects to become a father any moment now and was willing to spend his afternoons on the job. About all that is needed now to finish the clinic is a little paint.
Up to yesterday, the Service had recorded 46 patients, had hospitalized three in Mass. General, and had made 19 house calls. In addition, 326 children had been registered for future examination.
Already proud of having attended one baby on its date of birth (care will begin as soon as the baby is born), the Service has 30 expectant mothers on its list.
