    force of mechanics and the dividing partitions were made of fire-proof materials, and in such a manner that they can be removed without cutting into the main walls in order to more easily change the size of the rooms as demands may arise in future. We have been using this space for several months. The kind of out¬ patient work we are striving for could not be well done without this additional space. It will be still more needed next fall when a new manner of conducting the teaching of third year Harvard Medical students be¬ gins. We shall then have one-third of the class spend¬ ing full time in the hospital, and considerable of the students’ time will be spent in the out-door department. In our last report, mention was made of the need of more laboratory space and better quarters for the record stenographers and for the clinical record library. The Corporation authorized a preliminary study for a new record library, building a third story on the medical library building, and a further addition to this building for a pathological amphitheater. This preliminary study has been made. Futher study of our requirements is being carried on. There has continued the spirit of loyalty through¬ out the departments of the hospital, so necessary for real success in our work. To the members of the Corporation, I wish again to express my thanks for their encouragement and support. JOSEPH B. HOWLAND, Superintendent. December 31, 1928.
