![REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE LYING-IN HOSPITAL FOR 1945 It is a remarkable achievement that despite the many handi¬ caps occasioned by war, handicaps that still persist, the Lying-In Hospital was able to continue its outstanding service throughout the year. Not only did the shortage of doctors, nurses and lay personnel, present grave difficulties, but the ever-increasing demand for private and semi-private beds became acute. The end of the war did not decrease the many problems which have confronted us for the past four years, nor is there any indication that the immediate future holds a solution to these problems. However, through the tireless efforts of our staffs and per¬ sonnel, the high standards of patient care have not suffered despite the fact that the Hospital had almost 100% occupancy throughout the entire year. It is gratifying also that the pro¬ gram of teaching and research have been carried on without interruption throughout the year. The Board of Governors looks with pride to those who were responsible for making the 1945 record of the Lying-In Hospital one of such distinction. Langdon P. Marvin, President.
