Excerpt from Report of the Committee on the Organization of the New Presbyterian Hospital on University Lines In studying the needs of the medical school in the hospital, it has considered its task to be the formulation of a plan for the fullest utilization of the opportunities which the new hospital will afford the University, under the terms of the agreement and under the physical conditions which will exist during the continuance of the school, together with the Sloane Hospital and Vanderbilt Clinic, at its present location. The Building Committee of the Hospital has recommended the erection of a hospital to contain 150 beds each for medicine and surgery, exclusive of beds for 'children and for private patients and of beds in emergency, isolation, admission, and other special wards. Services of 150 beds each will afford an opportunity unequaled in this country, 'both for the systematic instruction of large classes by clinical lectures and for the education of at least 100 students a year as clinical clerks, as at present carried on by the College of Physicians and Surgeons. They will equally make possible a lengthening and broadening of the curriculum, should that at some future time be desirable.
