    President’s Report The Brigham Hospital was endowed by Peter Bent Brigham, under his will, with large pieces of real estate, besides other property. In these days of depression, in¬ come from real estate has been more reduced than in¬ come from other kinds of property. Our income has come largely from real estate and has been so much re¬ duced that the hospital has not been able to pay its cur¬ rent expenses with its income, notwithstanding the fact that a large sum ($75,520.15) has been received from the Emergency Campaign of 1933. The hospital has, therefore, been obliged to pay during this year $86,329.27 of its current expenses from its capital. This hospital is, compared with many hospitals, a new institution, and we do not receive unrestricted bequests which can be used for current expenses. It is obvious that our current expenses must be reduced, if these conditions continue; this will become one of the prob¬ lems confronting the Trustees and Staff. Dr. Harvey Cushing, our Surgeon-in-Chief Emeritus, has been appointed Sterling Professor of Neurology at Yale University. It is with just pride that the Hospital calls attention to the following men who have received a part of their education and experience in surgery, medicine, and pathology in this Hospital and who have been called to positions of importance in other hospitals and medical schools of this country.
