IL LABORATORY FOR PATHOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY AT THE NEW 

 YORK POST-GRADUATE MEDICAL SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL 



For the past several years the New York Post-Graduate Medical 

 School has been endeavoring to enhance its clinical advantages and 

 general equipment and, so far as possible, to raise the plane of post- 

 graduate medical teaching. The laboratories for tropical medicine, 

 bacteriology, pathology and pathological chemistry, of which Prof. 

 Jonathan Wright (M.D., Columbia '83) is the Director, have been 

 a part of this general scheme. 



The laboratory for pathological chemistry, which was opened in 

 April, has been fully equipped for teaching, for the routine examina- 

 tion of hospital specimens, and for original research. Courses are 

 offered at scheduled intervals, first, to satisfy those physicians who 

 wish to become familiär with the modern chemical methods of diag- 

 nosis; second, to meet the demand of such as can spend a greater 

 amount of time in the laboratory and desire to learn the general 

 methods and development of our modern physiological and patho- 

 logical chemistry. In addition, a course is offered in the physiology 

 and pathology of metabolism and nutrition. The intimate connec- 

 tion with the hospital and the large number of specimens daily 

 received at the laboratory, furnish excellent material for these 

 courses. 



Thirty-five matriculates have availed themselves of these courses 

 since October. Victor C. Myers, M.A. (Wesleyan '07), Ph.D. 

 (Yale '09), is professor of pathological chemistry and Morris S. 

 Fine, Ph.D. (Yale '11), instructor in pathological chemistry. In 

 addition, the personnel of the laboratory is composed of the two 

 internes assigned to this laboratory for the first two of their six 

 months' laboratory service, together with the laboratory technician. 

 During the summer, G. O. Volovic, formerly assistant in physio- 

 logical chemistry at the Albany Medical College, will aid in the in- 

 vestigation of special research problems.
