Chairman Fo. in announcing the purpose of the campaign, said: "The hospital of the L'nivcrslty of PenDnsylvania n not only one of the oldest and largest inftitutions of heal ing in the Commonwealth, but it in one of the most valuable to the commun ity at large because it is a 'teaching hospital.' It is one of the most import ant adjuncts of the medical school of the university. For these and many other reasons it is deserving of the gen erous support of the public for whose benefit it has labored ceaselessly and unselfishly for nearly half a ccnturr. "For several years past the hospital has felt a serious financial stringency which lias hampered its efforts to Keep pace with the constantly increasing de mands of a growing community. Not only has it been unable to enlarge its facilities by erecting the necessary modern buildings but during and since the war the available income, from every possible bouree, has failed to meet the increased cost of maintenance. "The board of managers is therefore confidently asking the public to con tribute 51,000,000 for the three-fold purpose of liquidating an existing in debtedness, completing the surgical pav ilion and increasing the necessary equipment."
