    Notes: COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. Established 1872. An independent institution.
    Entrance requirement: Less than a high school education.
    Attendance: 252
    Teaching staff: 59, of whom 21 are professors, 38 of other grade. One teacher devotes his entire time to medical instruction.
    Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $39,000.
    Laboratory facilities: Ordinary working laboratories are provided for bacteriology, histology, and pathology, including surgical pathology; the chemical laboratory provides satisfactorily for general chemistry. The dissecting-room is fair, as far as it goes. There is no experimental pharmacology and no student work in experimental physiology. The museum consists of several hundred specimens; the library, of which there is a librarian in charge, of perhaps 1500 volumes and a few current periodicals. The undeveloped character of the laboratories is due, (1) to the payment of faculty dividends; (2) to the application of current fee income to the discharge of building debts.
    Clinical facilities: The school completely controls the adjoining hospital, of which some 210 beds, including a maternity ward, are available for teaching. Ward-teaching on the section plan is in use. The clinical laboratory is open to the students.
    The dispensary occupies an excellent suite of rooms; the attendance is ample.

  • Dates: 1894
    Notes: THE BALTIMORE ORPHAN ASYLUM is situated at Stricker and Lexington streets. The cost of the property as it now stands is $40,000. It was organized in 1778, and incorporated in 1801. The estimated number of inmates in this institution since its foundation is 2,000. The capacity of the institution is 175; the number of inmates at present, 110. This institution is claimed to be the oldest non-sectarian charitable institution in the United States. In view of the good work accomplished, the citizens of Maryland have just cause to be proud of it.
    The income of the asylum is derived principally from annual donations and from the interest on its invested funds, consisting of legacies which have been bequeathed to it from time to time.
    The total receipts during the last year were $7,363.97. The General Assembly of 1892, for the first time in seven years, appropriated the sum of $2,000 to assist in repairing and improving the buildings. The amount seems to have been economically expended, and the institution is in every way a credit to its efficient Board of Managers. The appropriation referred to being an assistance to a worthy charity was not misplaced.
