INFANTS' HOSPITAL PLANNED.

Seventy-six thousand dollars have been given to erect, in conjunction with the new Medical School buildings to be constructed near the Fenway in Boston, an infants' hospital in memory of Thomas Morgan Rotch, Jr., of the class of 1901. Sixty thousand dollars additional are needed for the building as planned, and when this is raised work on the hospital will begin.

Plans for the building, of which the accompanying cut represents the southern front, have been drawn by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. The architecture will harmonize with the new Medical School buildings.

The hospital, for the care exclusively of babies under two years of age, is designed to be the most complete and perfect of its kind in the world. It will accommodate fifty patients, allowing for each bed an unusually large amount of room and air space. Within the hospital will be a memorial laboratory, equipped by gifts from members of the class of 1901, for the scientific study of infants' diseases--both for purposes of practical medical investigation and for the instruction of students in the Harvard Medical School. The hospital will contain also a laboratory for the scientific modification of milk, an incubator room, and a large lecture room for clinical lectures on diseases of children in connection with the third and fourth year courses of the Harvard Medical School.

The clinic of the hospital will be under the control of the Harvard Medical School. The nomination of physicians and surgeons to its staff will be vested in the Corporation of the University.

Those who care, either in memory of Rotch or through interest in the hospital itself, to subscribe toward its construction, may send subscriptions to Dr. Clarence Blake, 226 Marlborough street, Boston.
