it is to solve such problems, and who
have solved such problems in the past.
The first step in civic improvement is to
make a thorough investigation of nil

and find out exactly what's wiong,

A Great, Good
Cause Calls to You
U In the onward march of our busy lives, largely centered in'
1. sel,f , we reach, from time to time, stopping points, points where
"" we halt, and think, and resolve what we shall do for others
where we listen and heed the calls of humanity. A great, good, hu
mane and ennobling cause, here in our midst, is calling to us to-day.
CJ We hope for comfort, nursing and the best medicai care in the
hour of our affliction the almost inevitable hour; so let us give
cheerfully and freely of our substance now to provide these things
for others.
You Are Asked a Million Dollars
for the University Hospital
Cjf A noble Institution that for half a century has practiced and
taught the practice of the Art of Healing. It is the Institution
which made Philadelphia the Medical Center of the United States.
jf It is a School as well as a Hospital. It is the Alma Mater (let
us Anglicize that) the Fostering Mother, of thousands of famous
physicians a"nd Surgeons, of great discoveries in the field of Medi
cal Science, of hundreds of thousands of Kindnesses and Cures. -
0$ It is the Medical Heart of Pennsylvania, and its beat is heard H
and recognized throughout the world.
It Needs Your Help
' i
J . Its endowment is small and woefully insufficient. Private
charities have diminished under the stress of wartime demands,
while maintenance costs have grown alarmingly.
The World War has created many new problems in surgery, the .
scientific investigation and solution of which demand new facili
ties and new equipment, of which one of the most pressing is the
early completion of the new Surgical Pavilion.
CJ If the Medical School and University Hospital are to hold thir
place in the scientific world, the raising of this fund is imperative.
FACTS and FIGURES
The following statistics are taken from the annual reports of 1876, of 1914,
justprior to the war, and the latest annual report of 1918:
1876 1914 1918-
N umber of ward patients admitted 643 6,150 7,174
Number of dispensary patients 4,569 18,478 20,735
Total of maintenance cost $26,960 $300,703 $409,201

The following table shows the growth of charity work:

1919
Treated free in dispensaries and wards 6,442 22,204 24,775
This Is the First Time a Public Appeal
Has Ever Been Made by This Hospital
fl Shall a Hospital whose existence is an exemplification of -the
spirit of devoted humanitarianism, where 25,000 patients were
treated Free last year, and which serves one of the wealthiest',
most enlightened communities in the world, be forced to curtail
its activities?
C Shall an Institution devoted to the care of the sick and the in
struction of students in the Healing Art be permitted to languish'
in its usefulness? IT IS FOR YOU TO ANSWER!
