  Notes: MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE JOHNS HOPKINS University. Established 1893. An organic university department.
  Entrance requirement: The bachelor’s degree, representing specific attainments in chemistry, physic, biology, German, and French.
  Attendance: 297.
  Teaching staff: 112, of whom 23 are professors. All the laboratory teaching is conducted by instructors who give their entire time to teaching and research; the heads of the clinical departments are salaried teachers attached to the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
  Resources available for maintenance: The income from tuition fees is $60,542, that from endowments $19,687, making a total of $80,229. The budget calls for $102,429, not including salaries of the clinical faculty and other items carried by the Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is thus actually an integral part of the medical school. The productive hospital endowments now aggregate $3,632,289, not including the bequests for the Phipps Psychiatric Clinic and the Harriet Lane Johnson Home for Children.
  Laboratory facilities: These facilities are in every respect unexcelled. As the institution has been from the beginning on a graduate basis, teaching and research have been always equally prominent in its activities.
  Clinical facilities: The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Dispensary provide practically ideal opportunities. The medical staff of the hospital and the clinical faculty of the medical school are identical: the scientific laboratories ranged around the hospital are in close touch with clinical problems, immediate and investigative. The medical school plant is thus an organic whole, in which laboratories and clinics are inextricably interwoven. Recent foundations have greatly augmented the original hospital plant in the direction of psychiatry, pediatrics, and tuberculosis. Three hundred and eighty-five beds under complete control are now available.
  The dispensary is largely attended, and is admirably conducted from the standpoint of both public service and pedagogic efficiency.Date of visit: December, 1909.
