HOSPITAL FACILITIES 161 tomes of special construction' for particular kinds of work, electric projection apparatus of latest design, and all other apparatus in any way necessary for students' work or for the illustration of lectures. FREE DISPENSARY The dispensary occupies part of the first and second floors of the main building. Connected with the reception room are fourteen clinic rooms for the accommodation of the various specialties in medicine and surgery. During the past five years there have been treated in these rooms an average of twenty thousand patients each year. HOSPITAL FACILITIES Members of the faculty and other friends of the College purchased, a few years ago, the adjoining building of the Pest-Graduate Medical School and converted it into a hospital of 125 beds. It is a large, handsome structure, 50x100 feet, five stories high, of modern construction, and completely furnished. It is connected with the college amphitheater by a corridor and its clinical resources are thus made easily available for the instruction of students. An entire floor of this hospital is reserved as a ward for patients who are maintained by the College for the instruction exclusively of its students. It is designed to increase these hospital resources as necessity indicates. Directly opposite the College is Cook County Hospital, the only free hospital in Chicago. It contains almost a thousand patients, and supplies a quantity and variety of clinical material which no private institution can command. In the amphitheater of the hospital much of the clinical instruction of the College is given. In addition to the foregoing resources members of the faculty are connected with various other hospitals of the city and freely draw upon them for the benefit of students. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION First, a certificate of good moral character by two reputable physicians.
