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.

Wm. M. McKelvy; vice-president, Mrs. Wm. Scott; vice-
