Miss Mary E. McCandless, Miss S. H. Killikelly, Mrs. Emmet Queen, Mrs. W. H. Rowe, Mrs. M.. Trump, Mrs. S. D. Warm- castle, Mrs. C. A. Wishart, Miss Mary Webb, Dr. C. A. Wishart and Dr. Joseph E. Willetts. During its first year 497 patients received treatment and 111 operations were performed. There were 1749 consulta- tions. Dr. James H. Lippincott was the first chief of staff and Dr. C. A. Wishart was the first president of the board of managers. In 1905 the hospital moved to its new building at 1945 Fifth Avenue, and need for expanding facilities made an addition to the structure necessary three years later. Its present capacity is 55 beds, but urgent need for improved facilities has made it wise for the hospital to become a part of Pittsburgh’s Medical Center, on the University site, in Oakland. The first state aid was received in 1896 and amounted to $3000. In the last fiscal year, ending May 81, 1927, 2607 patients were cared for, 2411 operations were performed, and the dispensary and emergency departments treated 26,460 patients. In its new location it will have approximately double its present capacity and will be closely related to other hospitals of the group and to the University Medical School and laboratories. The following is the board of managers: President, Mrs. Wm. M. McKelvy; vice-president, Mrs. Wm. Scott; vice- president, Mrs. Howard B. McClintic; vice-president, Mrs. Howard B. Scull; treasurer, John E. Crawford; endowment treasurer, J. Farley Walton; secretary, Mrs. Thomas R. Robinson; Mrs. Chas. Arbuthnot, Jr., Mrs. William W. Blair, Miss Elizabeth Childs, Mrs. J. G. Beal, Mrs. J. H. Creighton, Mrs. Chas. Dahlinger, Mrs. F. Albert Dilworth, Mrs. G. G. Henderson, Mrs. R. R. Huggins, Mrs. Robert J. McKay, Mrs. John Murtland, Mrs. Gail Nutty, Mrs. E. N. Ohl, Miss Anne H. Robinson, Mrs. Wm. B. Rodgers, Mrs. Geo. W. Reed, Mrs. Wallace H. Rowe, Mrs. John McC. Wilson, Mrs. J. F. Walton, Jr., Dr. Ewing W. Day, Dr. W. W. Blair.

N.; superintendent of dispensary, Miss Gladys W. Johnson.
