ilume 11 AUTUMN 1954 Number 1THE FUTURE OF THE CHICAGO LYING-IN HOSPITALBy M. EDWARD DAVIS, M.D.Joseph Bolivar De Lee Professor and Chairman, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology.ying-in Hospital was chosen one of the ten most beautiful buildings in Chicago in 1950 about the time this picture was taken bybune photographer, G. Lundberg. The Mothers' Aid Pavilion is that pare of the building in the foreground.)n March 2, 1931, just prior to thening of the Chicago Lying-in Hosil on the Midway, Dr. De Lee wrote:tter to Dr. Richard Scammon, Deanthe Biological Sciences at the Unisity of Chicago, in which he outlinedimmediate goals of the new hospitalthe department of obstetrics andecology.The course of development of theiation of the Lying-in Hospital with the University of Chicago makes mefeel that perhaps a statement such asfollows may be desirable."The immediate need in the UnitedStates in obstetrics is not so much research as it is clinical instruction."The causes of the present high mortality in confinement are Sepsis, Eclampsia and Hemorrhage."I can say, incontestably, that threequarters of this mortality can be pre- vented by the application of the knowledge we now possess."The main causes of morbidity andchronic invalidism in obstetric practiceare injury during labor and infections,and likewise, three-quarters of all this ispreventable by the application of ourpresent knowledge."Please be assured that I am' keenlyalive to the immediate and remote benefits to humanity that are likely to ac-2 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINcrue from research in obstetrics but thisis fully provided for in our presentplans."The spreading of our knowledge andthe direct care of the women of Chicago are the duties of the Institutionfor the performance of which it wasfounded, in the performance of whichit grew in public esteem and by theperformance of which it merited andobtained the money necessary to carryon its work."Furthermore, the money for the newhospital' came from the public less forthe propagation of research than for thecontinuance of the principles for whichit declared itself."I would urge, therefore, that the purposes of the Institution be not lost sightof under the press of present expediencyand that they always receive the fullestappreciation by the University and theBoard of Directors."Dr. De Lee's concern about the majorfunctions of the hospital were real. In1931 the maternal mortality in our hospital was 42 per 10,000 living births, incontrast to the national figure of 65.Puerperal infection was the most important cause of death in childbirth, followed closely by hemorrhage and thetoxemias of pregnancy. Little wonderthat the pattern of the hospital was designed to decrease the hazard of thisdreaded scourge. There was no specifictherapy for childbed fever. The cardinalprinciple was to separate the clean fromthe unclean. The woman who harboredan infection late in pregnancy, the individual who developed signs and symptoms of puerperal infection during delivery or convalescence, and the motherwho had been delivered at home wasto be isolated from the well women fortheir protection. The main hospital incorporated all the safeguards known toreduce the hazard of infection and toprovide the best facilities for obstetricsand gynecology. The Mothers' Aid Pavilion, architecturally separated fromthe main building, was built to provideideal isolation facilities for mothers andbabies who developed infections or whowere in contact with sources of infection. It, too, has all the facilities necessary to care for normal obstetrics andits complications.25 Years LaterAlmost a quarter of a century haselapsed since we opened the Chicago Lying-in Hospital on the Midway. Duringthis period many phenomenal developments have taken place in the medicalsciences, all of which have benefited ourspecialty. Antibiotic drugs have decreased the incidence of serious infection and have almost eliminated deathsfrom this cause. Better obstetrics, developments in anesthesia, and the easeand safety of blood transfusion havedecreased the hazard of death from hemorrhage. New knowledge and thespread of intelligent prenatal care havealmost eliminated deaths from the pregnancy toxemias. Thus, the three majorcauses of maternal mortality have beentamed and brought under control. Littlewonder that there has been a reductionin maternal mortality of more than 90per cent during this period.This spectacular improvement in obstet.rical care is not limited to the largeteaching hospitals, but, with few exceptions, it is universal in the country atlarge. It is safe for a mother to have ababy in most well-conducted maternitiesof the hospitals which dot the land.CLI a PioneerDuring the last twenty-five years theChicago Lying-in Hospital has played amajor role in bringing about these outstanding improvements. It has pioneered the pattern for modern obstetricthought from which our present clinicalpractice evolved. It introduced and popularized methods to eliminate some ofthe hazards of childbearing. It trained ahost of nurses, doctors, and teachers'who provided the personnel necessarvfor modern obstetric practice. It hasbeen a leader in lay education for thepublic, mothers and fathers, which resulted in an enlightened public and emotionally mature parents who were thebeneficiaries of modern maternity care.The goals for the fi rst quarter of a century of the Chicago Lying-in Hospitalwere achieved.Future NeedIf we no longer occupy a unique position in American medicine because ofthe clinical work that we do, how canwe best use the heritage we have?Teaching and research are the most important functions of the University ofwhich we are an integral part. Future'mprovements in our specialty as wellas in other fields in medicine must comefrom new knowledge. To add to thestore of new scientific contributionsmore well-trained men and women with"'e zeal and the drive to uncover newfacts must be recruited. To providethese individuals with the environmentnecessary for productive research. weneed patients and research facilities.Such patients must be the recipients ofthe very best in medical care, for onecannot teach medicine or study diseasewithout the highest skills in medicalpractice. These will be our goals forthe next twenty-five years.Role of MAPThe Mothers' Aid Pavilion lends itself admirably to reconstruction and thedevelopment of ideal research facilities.Occupying a strategic corner in ourmedical center, it will provide the laboratories, offices, animal rooms, con- ference rooms, and other appurtenannecessary to establish a superb reseaunit. Our present group will enjoy mern facilities to carry on their reseaactivities. What is equally importantthat these new facilities will give suitaenvironments for creative work toyounger faculty members and the rones whom we hope to recruit. IfMothers' Aid Pavilion is no longer nessary as a haven of isolation for WaITwith "childbed fever," it will servemirably as a workshop for scientiwhere new knowledge can be uncoverThe CostIt has been estimated that the costconversion of the Mothers' Aid Pavilito our present and future needs willat least $300,000. The Mothers' fraised the fund for the Pavilion wl:the hospital was built. It provided $25000 to establish the Joseph Bolivar:Lee Professorship in honor of thevered founder of the hospital.

SKINSNES SAGAIn the spring of 1949 the OlafSkinsneses ('47) set out for NorthChina, where Olaf was to teachpathology as a missionary under theauspices of the Lutheran UnitedMission.

He accepted and has since helped to build upone of the best departments in theFar East.It is interesting to note that anAmerican medical degree, even ifsupported by postgraduate degreesand specialty board certification, isnot of much use in a British colonylike Hong Kong. One cannot practice unless one can do one of threethings: (a) go back into Britishmedical school for two years andgraduate again, (b) prove that one'spractice is all for charity and thatone does not even receive a salaryfor such practice, or (c) be employed by the government or theUniversity (which is part of thegovernment) .Besides teaching, Dr. Skinsnes isin charge of research at the HayLing Chau Leprosarium, a fivehundred-bed hospital located on asmall island.

This year most of the seniorclass were accompanied by their wives orfiancees, and many of them brought theirparents as well.Encouraged by the enthusiasm of ouralumni and of many of the Rush graduates,we are continuing the custom, establishedin 1953, of inviting fiftieth-anniversarygraduates of Rush Medical College. Twelvemembers of the class of 1904 were presented with testimonial awards in commemoration of their fiftieth anniversary.This year we also invited those members ofthe Association who had graduated fromRush in 1902 or earlier, since it is obviouslytoo late to include them in any fiftiethanniversary group.

Investigation into the cause and control of disease is the lifeblood of modern medicine. The Chicago Lying-in Hospital,located in the heart of a great university, dedicated to the search for newknowledge, is ideally suited to undertake expanded research activities in allthe problems pertaining to human reproduction and diseases of the reproductive organs. The Mothers' Aid Pavilionwas an important landmark in the history of childbed fever, but it, alone, wasnot responsible for the cure of a singlewoman until the antibiotics were discovered. There are many, very manyproblems in our special field that needto be solved. We know so little aboutthe physiology of reproduction. Whatare the intangible factors in human fertility? Cancers of the reproductiveorgans and the breasts are responsiblefor half the deaths of women who dieof cancer. Why do normal cells in theseorgans suddenly take on abnormal wavsand lead to the destruction of the ho�t?These are the challenges for the nextquarter-century for medicine and science and the Chicago Lying-in Hospital.
