Attendance: 220.

Teaching staff: 60, of whom 32 are professors, 28 of other grade. There are no teachers giving their whole time to medical instructions. Some of the laboratory instruction is given by men who also teach in Ohio State University.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees only, amounting to $27,500.

Laboratory facilities: The school has a large plant. Laboratories adequately equipped for routine instruction are provided for anatomy, chemistry, physiological chemistry, bacteriology, pathology, and histology. There is no experimental pharmacology. Student assistants are employed. There is no evidence anywhere of original activity or interest. The school has a library, museum, and a supply of teaching accessories.

Clinical facilities: The school controls two hospitals, in one of which—containing, however, only 40 usable beds—it might introduce modern teaching methods. The other hospital, containing 150 beds, is a Catholic institution. Neither hospital is built, organized, or equipped with the necessities of teaching in view. No pavilion for contagious diseases is accessible. The city has thus far done nothing to provide proper hospital facilities for the sick poor. The state institutions are, however, available.

The school dispensaries enjoy an abundance of material, but lack equipment, organization, and oversight.

The conditions described are doubtless to some extent due to the difficulty of welding two schools into one. Vigorous measures might, however, produce here a good institution.

Date of visit: December, 1909.

TOLEDO: Population, 178,758.

(8) Toledo Medical College. Organized 1883. The medical department of Toledo University, a municipal institution of uncertain status and without substantial resources.

Entrance requirement: A four-year high school education or its equivalent.

Attendance: 32.

Teaching staff: 48, of whom 16 are professors, 32 of other grade. No one gives entire time to medical classes.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees only, amounting to $3240 (estimated). Laboratory facilities: The school has nothing that can be fairly dignified by the name of laboratory. Separate rooms, badly kept and with meager equipment, are provided for chemistry, anatomy, pathology, and bacteriology. The class-rooms are bare: no charts, bones, skeleton, or museum are in evidence. There is a small library in the office.
