Annual Reunion of the Alumni Association Hahnemann Medical College, Saturday Evening, May 21, 1904.-The Business meeting was called to order at 6.15 P.M. The President, Dr. W. B. Van Lennep, in the chair. The report of the Executive Committee was read by the Secretary and was as follows:

Gentlemen!—Your

Mr. President and Members of the Alumni Association. Executive Committee desires to call to your notice the increased cost of banquet cards. This is made necessary because of the fact that for years dinners for which you have paid $3.50 have cost the Association an average price of $4.12, the deficit being made up by the Faculty and friends of the Association. We cannot continue to ask for aid of this sort and have therefore placed the burden where it belongs, on the entire Association.

A new directory has been printed and will be mailed to your address in a few days. We would like to say that this little book has been compiled at great labor, and no cost to you. The greatest amount of work being due to the fact that a great many gentlemen move and never inform the Secretary of the fact, consequently a search of the medical directories is necessary in order to establish a man's place of residence. If you find yourself incorrectly addressed do not blame the Secretary, he has done the best he could. The membership of the Association has been increased by the addition of 69 new members, making a total of 1406 living members.

W. D. Carter, '94,
Secretary.

Dean Thomas presented the report of the Faculty, which was received with great enthusiasm.

Gentlemen!--I have the honor to present herewith the customary report of the Faculty for the year.

At the outset I much regret having to announce that soon after the commencement exercises of last spring, the Faculty was called upon to accept the resignation of Dr. Pemberton Dudley from the Deanship-the doctor finding it impossible to longer continue in the work which he had so earnestly carried on for the seven previous years. Although deprived of his services as executive officer, the school still has the benefit of Dr. Dudley's teaching in the departments of Institutes of Medicine and Hygiene.

On May 30, 1903, the undersigned was elected to fill the unexpired term of the Deanship.

Owing to illness from which I am glad to say he is rapidly recovering, Dr. Goodno was unable to deliver his accustomed course on the practice of medicine. The lectures were, however, ably presented by the associate professor of medicine, Dr. Bartlett.

Dr. Theodore L. Chase, who has for two years most acceptably filled the chair of Obstetrics, has requested to be relieved of this position in order that he may devote himself more strictly to the development of his specialty, Gynæcology.

Dr. Chase will continue his work in the Gynecological department of the hospital and dispensary in association with Dr. James.

The Faculty is fortunate in being able to secure, as Dr. Chase's successor, Dr. Augustus Korndorfer, Jr., whose reputation as a practical obstetrician is well known.

Dr. Weston D. Bayley has this spring been called to and has accepted the chair of Neurology.

Dr. John J. Tuller will in the coming term give the lectures in mental diseases and at the same time continue his valuable work in the department of Neuro-Histology.

Dr. Snader will hereafter include general medical diagnosis with his course on physical diagnosis.

Dr. W. F. Baker has been appointed lecturer on Electro- and Hydro-Therapeutics, a subject to which the doctor has given special attention in his practice. Dr. Edward G. Muhly will be advanced to the position of lecturer and demonstrator in Histology. Other minor changes in the teaching corps will be found noted in the announcement.

The number of students in attendance the past term were as follows: Freshmen, 43; Sophomores, 44; Juniors, 45; Seniors, 69; a total of 201. The graduating class numbers 66. This shows an entrance class of practically the same size as for the two previous years.

The small classes of most medical schools, as well as our own for the past few years, may perhaps be due to previous overcrowding of the profession generally; to the higher entrance requirements in most schools, notably our own; and finally to the burden of a second examination before the State Board.

In spite of our high standard of entrance requirements, the preparatory education of our matriculates this year were in most cases fully equal to, and in many well above, the grade set by our Faculty. Indeed, I am pleased to say

that all but one of the forty-three matriculates presented either college or high school diplomas or certificates, and but three of the Freshmen class carried conditions in prematriculate studies.

I may say here, that when entrance examination is found necessary, it is no longer to be conducted by the Faculty, but has been placed by them in the hands of the Board of Education of the State.

The average scholarship of all our classes has been unusually high, the graduating class having attained a general per cent. of 89.3.

In this connection I am pleased to state that I find, on consulting the examination records of the State Board at Harrisburg, that the students of Hahnemann College in the past ten years-in round numbers 450-show a general examination average of 90 per cent., while less than 10 per cent. have failed to pass the Board.

At the 20 examinations held during those 10 years, of the homoeopathic records, the highest general average was made 13 times by students of Hahnemann. The highest general average attained by any one man during the 10 years was by one of ours "--99.7.

་་

The average standing of Hahnemann students before the State Board for the past several years is second to none, old school or new.

One of the most difficult of the problems which to-day confronts the management of unendowed medical schools is that of securing sufficient income for maintaining an educational equipment such as is demanded by the modern methods of medical instruction.

The cost of providing medical education grows each year greater, and the present fee paid by the medical students is even now hardly sufficient to provide for his instruction.

We are sadly in need of funds, more especially for the establishment of a new or enlarged dispensary building and pathological laboratories and for an endowment, the interest of which shall enable us to increase the salaries, and the number of salaried instructors particularly in the laboratory departments.

In this connection I am glad to inform you that in the past year the college department has received its first contribution toward such a fund, in a legacy of $5000 from the estate of Harriet Smith Benson of this city, and we trust this may stimulate other generous friends of our institution to similar gifts.

Our facilities for practical clinical instruction will in the coming year be greatly augmented by the new additions to the hospital made possible by not only the generous donations and bequests of private individuals, but also through receipts last year from the State of the largest appropriation ever before granted us, viz., $80,000 for building purposes and $60,000 for maintenance for two years. With the additional buildings the capacity of the hospital will be increased by at least 150 beds.

The new buildings, which are now already well under way, will include briefly a nurses' dormitory of seven stories capable of housing 75 nurses; an obstetric and gynæcological hospital five stories high with six large wards and about a dozen private rooms, an operating theatre, delivery rooms, etc., and a power-house seven stories high for supplying heat and light to college, hospitals, dispensary and nurses' house. It will contain, besides the various engines, boilers, ice machines, etc., two large steam laundries and sleeping accommodations for hospital servants. In addition to this the present hospital will undergo alterations which will add 15 more private rooms, and ward facilities to the extent of about 60 beds for the treatment of special cases requiring isolation, etc.

A new clinical amphitheatre will also be erected during this coming summer containing 200 sittings and completely equipped with etherizing, sterilizing and recovery rooms, private operating rooms, surgeons' dressing rooms, X-ray room,

Will you kindly notify me at once if your board will be represented at the coming meeting in Chicago, May 24, 1904?

Yours very truly,

B. D. Harison,

Secretary.

Aural Congestion With Threatened Abscess.-By C. L. Steenson, A.M., M.D., Professor of Materia Medica, New York; Author: "NasoPharyngeal Disorders,” etc. I would like to mention to my confrères that, in the treatment of acute attacks of aural congestion, with every indication of suppuration, both internal and external, and seriously jeopardizing the tympanum, and not infrequently with evidences of threatening abscess accompanied with the most lancinating pains, I have prescribed Antikamnia and Salol Tablets with most satisfactory results. The congestion, fever and pain promptly yield to the persistent use of these tablets, and to attain this I ordered two tablets to be given every two hours. I am firmly convinced that with careful ablution and syringing of the external aural cavity with a mild antiseptic and anodyne solution, and the administration of this remedy, I have aborted the threatened attack and thereby undoubtedly saved the patient from a suppurative sequela,

and no doubt, in many instances, from operative interference, necessitating the trephining of the sphenoid, or the opening of the antrum to save life. As every practitioner knows, the operation is not infrequently fatal, particularly if the case be an advanced one and the patient an aged one.

As to the local application, I simply resort to tepid water, to which may be added a mild antiseptic, say five grains boric acid to each ounce and a little tincture opium. This makes an admirable application. This solution carefully injected from two to four times daily to warm and cleanse the vestibule of the ear, and with the administration of Antikamnia and Salol Tablets, or Antikamnia and Codeine Tablets, the practitioner will be rewarded with most gratifying results.
