It was indeed a great change from the old to the quiet rooms of a new modern institution. Each year new methods were adopted to keep pace with the progress made in the science of medicine and surgery. New equipment was installed from time to time, as it became necessary, in accordance with demands of modern institution. This year, 1936, the hospital held a Diamond Jubilee, in honor of the founding of the hospital in 1861. Let us hope that the accomplishments of the past seventy-five years will be equalled, if not surpassed in the years to come, every keeping pace in the progressiveness with science and medicine.
