L. Chalfant, secretary. The president of the board of trust- ees is Ralph W. Harbison, with T. Chalmers Darsie and Dr. James A. Kelso, vice presidents; J. C. Boyer, secretary, and the Potter Title and Trust Company, treasurer. The superintendent, Miss Mary B. Miller, has served as executive head of the institution for nine years. The present building provides for two hundred beds, and through rooms, wards and dispensaries, treats about 14,000 cases per annum. The staff is selected by the board of trustees of the hospital from doctors nominated by the medical department of the University of Pittsburgh. About one-third of the work is of a charitable character, and as the institution receives no State aid, fifty thousand dollars per year must be raised by popular subscription. In the new Medical Center, the Presbyterian Hospital will be the central building, and general hospital of a group of six or seven institutions. The proposed new structure will cost over five million dollars, and the new nurses’ home nearly a million. About one-third of the needed money is already available for the new project and the trustees are planning to complete the collection of the necessary funds for these new buildings. The whole Medical Center, when completed, will represent a cost of upwards of fifteen million dollars, and will give Pittsburgh one of the best medical groups to be found in America. PROTESTANT HOME FOR INCURABLES The Protestant Home for incurables, the only insti- tution of its kind in Pittsburgh, is located at 5500 Butler street. It was incorporated December 31, 1883, having been founded by Jane Holmes for the purpose of providing a home for persons suffering from incurable disease. The total num- ber of patients cared for is 849, and there were 48 patients in the home on August 15, 1928. Among the patients now being cared for are Mary Elkins. admitted April, 1888; Julia Heldt, admitted November, 1895: William Metz, admitted October, 1897; Sadie Gregg, ad- mitted November, 1904; Katie Haupt, admitted May, 1910, and Eliza Fangmeier. admitted November, 1911.
