    A loyal son of Yale, I have rejoiced in the increasing pros- [275] perity of the Medical Department of Yale University during these recent years. Especially gratifying have been the man- ifestations of interest on the part of the University in the advancement of this Department and in general in the cause of higher medical editcation. I may be permitted to express my appreciation, and I believe I may add that of all con- cerned with these important problems, of President Hadley’s valuable contributions to the discussion of this pressing topic. It need hardly be said that the Yale Medical Department is hampered by inadequate resources. I am confident that during the past year no gift to the University has been more usefully and worthily bestowed than Mrs. Farnam’s gener- ous bequest to the Medical Department. With still larger additions to its endowment there is every reason to believe that the Yale Medical School will maintain a prominent position in the forward movement of medical education and research, and be one of the chief ornaments of this great uni- versity, receiving and conferring the stimulus of lofty ideals, of large achievements, of high renown.
