much to teach. Medicine is going forward 

 so fast. 



Let us broaden our conception of medical 

 education by broadening our conception of 

 education itself. Education is primarily 

 the bringing out of something from within, 

 not the forcing of something in from with- 

 out. It is the discovery of the individual 

 to himself. It is a process of training, not a 

 process of fattening. 



If these conceptions of education gain 

 possession of us, we shall approach our 

 teaching and our curriculum making in a 

 corresponding spirit, and some at least of 

 the difficulties and disappointments of our 

 labor will disappear.

INDUSTRIAL FELLOWSHIPS OF TEE 

 MELLON INSTITUTE-!- 



Since January, 1912, I have made no report 

 to this journal on the progress in the system 

 of industrial fellowships initiated by me at the 

 University of Kansas and since transferred to 

 the University of Pittsburgh. 



The working of these fellowships began 

 September 1, 1911, on the university campus 

 at Pittsburgh and in the temporary building 

 erected at a cost of about $10,000. In March, 

 1913, Mr. Andrew William Mellon and Mr. 

 Kichard Beatty Mellon, brothers and citizens 

 of Pittsburgh, impressed by the evident prac- 

 tical value of this system both to learning and 

 to industry, established it on a permanent 

 basis through the gift of over half a miUon 

 dollars and consented to allow their family 

 name to be placed upon it as the " Mellon 

 Institute of Industrial Eesearch and School of 

 Specific Industries of the University of Pitts- 

 burgh." While working in affiliation with 

 the university and in close sympathetic accord 

 with it, the institute is possessed of its own 

 funds and is under its own management.
