Many of the leading surgeons and physicians of America studied in European post- graduate centres, though doubtless at present there is not so much necessity for that. With the opening of the Johns Hopkins School in 1893 was founded a hospital and school of the European pattern on a scientific basis. William Henry Welch was the great man who was Director and Professor of Pathology. He had studied all over Europe. Osler was the first clinician; it becameacentreof scientific life, and it is largely owing SIR W.H. BROADBENT, BART., | t© Osler that other centres K.C.V.O. adopted the new system which had been available in Europe much earlier. Johns Hopkins put research work and the wards together, and the post-graduate students with Welch made history. Osler’s enterprise also caused the greatest enthusiasm, and they had splendid times. Johns Hopkins furnished a large quota of the men who reorganised the old schools, and the founding in 1901 of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was a great step. It was followed in 1910 bya hospital on the East River. The Post-graduate and Polyclinic of New York and the Polyclinic of Philadelphia commenced large dispensary services and hospital clinics, and also public and private hospitals in the city. Demonstrative instruction is given to small bodies of physicians, who come and go uninterruptedly throughout the year. Post-graduate schools are conducted by the Government at Washington for those accepted for service in the Army or Navy Medical Corps. For some time the Mayo Clinic has been an unrivalled centre.
