THE HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL.

In general, each laboratory wing is divided longitudinally by a 

 broad corridor, and the rooms on each side, which are in most instances 

 of convenient size (23 feet by 30 feet), have adjustable terra cotta 

 walls whereby the rooms may be enlarged or reduced in size accord- 

 ing to needs in individual cases. But in the case of the physiological- 

 chemistry building there is no medial corridor, and the laboratories 

 are placed across the wing. Also in the building devoted to pathology 

 and bacteriology one wing contains two large teaching laboratories, 

 while the other wing is divided up into smaller rooms for research 

 work. 



In the administration building there are the school offices, a general 

 reading room, an alumni room, four lecture rooms and the Warren 

 Museum occupies the third floor. 



The general public associates the names of Pasteur and Koch with 

 single discoveries, but fails to realize that those men have introduced 



new methods of work and study, and that the things that their names 

 are especially associated with are but incidents in broad systems; and 

 it is the encouragement of such studies and their practical application 

 that the Harvard Medical School has especially in mind in the 

 arrangement of its new laboratory equipment. 



We wonder that the great improvements and discoveries in medi- 

 cine are not more widely applied. How can they be when the great 

 majority of practitioners have not had the scientific training necessary
