It is the fourth and finalmajor step in a series of postwar con­struction projects. No new building wasdone from 1931, when Chicago Lying-inHospital and the orthopedics group werecompleted, until 1947. By that time thegrowth of the program of combinedteaching, research, and practice by afull-time academic medical staff, pio­neered by the University in 1927, was so great that new building was impera­tive. The building program was severalyears overdue but had been delayed bythe war. The new west wing can beappreciated best as a part of this post­war development.The Nathan Goldblatt Memorial Hos­pital for Neoplastic Diseases was begunin 1947 and finished in 1950. This pro­vides fifty-two hospital beds, an expan­sion of outpatient facilities, and a gen- erous amount of laboratory space. Theconstruction of the central court addi­tion, a one-story building at the base­ment level in the large court of Billings,followed. This supplies enlarged kitchensand other central services for the ex­panded group of hospitals. After thiscame the 'Argonne Cancer ResearchHospital. Constructed by the AtomicEnergy Commission and operated bythe University, this building was com-2 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINplctcd in 1952. It was described in thewinter issue of the BULLETIN.The west wing- was planned to com­plement the other new construction andto provide a balanced unit to meetteaching and patient-care requirementsand the needs oi research programs.Fortunately, varied financing was avail­able which permitted rounding out thewhole group oi buildings. Three re­stricted funds are included. Each pro­vides about onc-f ith of the cost of thebuilding. One is the Gilman Smith Hos­pital Fund for Infectious Diseases. An­other is a grant from the United StatesPublic Health Service for constructionof facilities for the study and care ofpatients with cardiovascular diseases,The third is a grant to the Universityby the state of Illinois from Hill-Bur­ton funds for hospital construction forcare of patients with chronic disease.The raising of the remaining two-fifthsof'xthe cost has been undertaken by theCommittee on Biology and Medicine ofthe Board oi Trustees of the Universityaided by the University DevelopmentOffice.The objectives of the various re­stricted funds involved can all be real­ized within a building which satisfiesthe varied requirements for a balancedmedical school. Not only are the Univer­sity Clinics now larger than before butthe buildings provide a much better­integrated unit than has been presentsince the beginning.The total number of hospital beds isnow no plus 140 bassinets. Expansionof the laboratories is sufficient to helpour crowded investigators considerably,and the clinical facilities arc adequatefor teaching and research needs. It isanticipated that the programs of rc­sl'arch, tc;\ching, and p.u icn: rare whichcunst it uu- the louz-t cnn (jllin·tives ofthe inst it ut ion should dcvelojl h;lr­moniously in the group of buildings asthev now stand. Further additions areplanned only for specialized fields whichare not fully developed, and none ofthese projects is contemplated in theimmediate future.The total cost of the postwar build­ings and the necessary remodeling ofthe old buildings is about 12.5 milliondollars. The cost of the new west wingis 4.2 million dollars. It was designedby the architectural firm of Schmidt,Garden, and Erikson, who specialize inhospital construction. It is an Lshapcdbuilding which extends west on "A"corridor (where the ambulance entrancewas) to Drexel Avenue and north to theservice drive. It connects with bothBillings and Bobs Roberts hospitals onevery floor. .The design is such that it shouldmake the work of students and staffmore convenient. To achieve this pur­pose, considerable remodeling will bedone in Billings. In general, Medicine will occupy most of the new wing andshi ft slightly west in Billings to makemore room for Surgery in the cast partof the Clinics' group. The offices, hos­pital beds, and outpatient clinic of Psy­chiatry will move from the "S" corri­dor to the west. The Allergy outpatientservice and the Social Service officeshave moved from the "S" corridor tothe new building. All the Medicineoffices, laboratories, hospital beds, andoutpatient services will thus be on thewest side of the g-roup. This arrange­ment will save much walking for every­one. As the Clinics have expanded, thetime spent in walking has increased,even though it has been a cause ofcomplaint, particularly by students andhouse staff for at least twenty years.Many of you have unpleasant memoriesof lost time and tired feet from work­ing with patients on a single hospitalservice scattered from "M5" to "01."This problem has been given carefulconsideration, and the new facilitiesshould make most hospital services muchmore compact.The new building contains laborato­ries, nursing divisions, outpatient clinics,and service areas. It is seven stories highabove ground and has two basements.It will be briefly described floor by floorfrom the ground up, together withchanges in the old building which in­tegrate the new with the old. It willof course be necessary to refer to loca­tions by terms in common use, but itis hoped that the main lines of the newconstruction will stand out clearlyenough so that they can be followed 'bythose who have not worked or lived inthe Clinics.Service and StorageThe l>;\sement. ;\IHI suhhnscmcnt arc(kvot ('d to service and st or;lgc Iunc: ions,Among the dcve lopmcnt S 0 r pa rticu la rinterest arc an enlarged record room.For the past several years it has beennecessary to microfilm and discard allrecords that have been inactive for fiveyears. There is sufficient new space forrecord storage to make it possible to holdinactive records in file twenty years.This development will be greatly ap­preciated, for experience has shown thata rather large number of patients returnafter they have been out of contact formore than five years and that the useof records on microfilm is unsatisfactory.The record room will also contain im­proved facilities for interns, residents,and others who work with patients' rec­ords.Ana! her development is a central mailroom where all mail will be received �\I1dsorted, thus relieving the IniormationDesk in the lobby of this burden. As theClinics have grown, the lobby has becomemore congested. The transference oi themail receiving and sorting improves thespeed and accuracy of the handling of mail while permitting the lobby to servethe increased number of visitors whocome to the growing hospitals.Many expanded facilities for house­keeping service are also included in thebasement. There are new furniture re­pair and refinishing shops. An enlargedreceiving room for supplies and pack­ages is also provided. Greatly increasedstorage areas will make possible moreefficient buying and relieve the basementcorridors of crowding which results fromusing them for storage.Admissions and EmergenciesThe first floor is divided into twoparts by a new ambulance entrance. Twodrives (one for entrance and one forexit) pass through the building fromDrexel Avenue, just north of the angleof this t-shaped wing. Ambulances andcars with patients will pass up a rampfrom the street level to the first-floorlevel as they pass through the buildingand may be unloaded under cover. In­side the court is a roomy area at thefirst-floor level for ambulance turn­around and for parking during deliveryof patients.The east-to-west corridor on the firstfloor houses a new unit for admissionof patients to the hospital and for thetreatment of emergencies. It is equippedwith examining rooms and two operatingrooms. One of the latter has X-ray andfluoroscopic equipment and facilities forthe application of plaster casts. Thereare four beds where patients may becared for briefly while hospitalization orother disposition is being arranged. Theunit will be staffed with nurses, an in­tern, and students 24 hours a d:1Y. Thiswill develop the emergency work greatlyand should expand our teaching in thisIrcld as \\,L'II as cont ribut e to our careof p.n icnt s with l'llll'rgl'nc), illnl'sses andthose who have suffered accidents.The portion of the first floor north ofthe ambulance drive through the build­ing contains laboratories devoted towork on patients with cardiovasculardisease. Expanded facilities for elec­trocardiography, a laboratory for pro­thrombin-time determinations, a pulmo­nary function laboratory, and otherequipment for the examination of pa­tients with cardiovascular diseases willbe assembled here.ClinicsThe second floor houses new out­patient facilities. Three clinic stationsare located in the new building. Severalmedical clinics work here, some of whichhave been moved from the surgical sideof the building, some from the third1100r, and some from the "lII" corridorof Billings. The clinical laboratory andthe remaining medical clinics in Bill­ings will be enlarged, The general pat­tern of the new clinics is similar to thatof the old, but several minor improve-MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 3rnents have been made which make themmuch more pleasant places to work.The outpatient work of all medicalservices except Dermatology and Psychi­atry will be housed in five stations afterremodeling is complete. Three of thesestations will be in the new wing andtwo in the "11" corridor. The two sta­tions in the ""I" corridor will be re­modeled and enlarged. One station in themiddle of this hall will be abandoned toprovide space for the clinical laboratoryand other expansion. Adjacent to thiswill be the equipment for routine chestmicrofilming of all new patients andoffices for social service workers. Inthe new wing, convenient to the Metab­olism and Endocrinology Services, thereis a suite for medical nutritionists, con­sisting oi offices, a classroom, and ademonstration kitchen. There is alsoa laboratory to serve diabetic patientsof the Metabolism Clinic and to doother work. Adjacent to this is a roomwith several cubicles to accornodate out­patients during urea clearance and glu­cose-tolerance tests.The new outpatient arrangement addsconsiderably to the efficiency of stu­dents, residents, and faculty and is moreconvenient ior patients,Nursing DivisionsThe third, fourth, and fifth floorsprovide new hospital space. Each floorcontains a forty-nine-bed nursing divi­sion, consisting of five private roomsand twenty-two double rooms for pa­tients. Each room has a private bath.The nursing station, kitchen, patients'lounge, the conference room, etc., arecentrally located at the 'angle of theL-shaped building. There is a utilityroom toward each end of each nursingdivision. These large units are expectedto increase the efficiency of the nurses,who, because of their scarcity, mustwork increasingly in the supervision ofless highly skilled workers in the careof patients.The third-floor unit provides accom­modations for a larger number of pa­tients on the Psychiatry Service and ismodified for this purpose. The "M" cor­ridor on the third floor of Billings, ex­tending north irom the junction of thenew wing, will be turned over to thePsychiatry group for offices, laboratories,and outpatient facilities. The south endof the "1'.1" corridor, where the Infec­tious Diseases unit was formerly located,together with that portion of the "A"corridor occupied by the nursing office,will be remodeled to form a new nursingdivision composed of private roomssimilar to the so-called Private Division.The new nursing units on the fourthand fifth floors communicate directlywith "M4" and "MS." Because thenew nursing units can accommodate bothmen and women, unlike "M4" and "MS,"it is planned that each of the medical services will have patients on only oneof the two floors. Each service will havepatients on both "M4" and "M5," andall the services will usc the third floorfor patients in single rooms. On thetifth 11oor, including "\V5" and "MS"("W" is the letter designation of therooms in the west wing), there will beeighty medical beds. The fourth floorwill contain a similar number in "\V4"and "1\14." The third Hoar will be uscdby Medicine and Psychiatry. As a re­sult , practically all medical patients willbe located in a relatively compact groupon three 1100rs in a limited area. Every­one concerned with the cue of patients,especially students and house staff, willhave much less walking to do. When the.new building is completely occupied andthe remodeling of Billings is completed,all nursing divisions will be devotedeither to Medicine or to Surgery, andnone of them will be mixed as PrivateDivision, "03," and the Goldblatt floorshave been in the past. Patients on theMedicine services will be segregated inthe west part of the hospitals, and pa­tients on the Surgery services will oc­cupy the east sides.Research LaboratoriesThe sixth floor will be devoted to re­search laboratories and offices for thefaculty. In the new wing will be locatedpart of the Infectious Disease group,the Cardiology group, the Chest Diseasegroup, and the departmental administra­tive offices. On "M6," between the junc­tion with the new wing and the animalquarters, the Neurology group, part ofEndocrinology, and an office and con­ference room for Medical History, a newdevelopment, will be housed. Each ofthese clinical groups will have its ownanimal quarters built as an integral partof its office and laboratory suite. Animals;;; IIIIIJL . _ used for experiments in connection withrcsea rch are better cared for by theinvestigative teams which use them thanby caretakers in a central animal quar­ters, and this is more convenient if theanimals arc close to the laboratories.The space in the back of Billingsvacated by those moving to quarters inthe new wing and on "M6" will per­mit expansion for those clinical groupswhich do not move. As the size of thestaff and the amount of research haveincreased since the 'war, the crowdingof laboratories has become acute. Theexpansion is badly needed but should beadequate for a somewhat increased staff.Part of that portion of "M6" south ofthe "A" corridor will be added to theoperating-room suite. It will be devotedlargely to the anesthesia service. Therest of it will provide recreation roomsfor the house staff. Interns and residentswill no longer live on "M6." In thefuture none but interns will live in thehospital; thus fewer quarters are nec­essary. It is hoped that eventuallyseparate quarters, outside but adjacentto the hospital, can be provided for thehouse staff; both married and single.For the time being a few of the consid­erable number of new patient roomswill be used for interns. .The seventh floor is only a littlemore than half as large as the otherfloors. It houses a nursing division whichwill accommodate twenty-two patients,most in single rooms. This is devotedto chest diseases, both medical andsurgical. The roof where the build­ing is only six stories high is a sundeckfor the use of these patients, many ofwhom are hospitalized for long periods,An attractive solarium is also included.This nursing division is separated fromthe rest of the hospital and, therefore,[Continued on page 8]1'1, ." .. .I'--: ";0( A S T s 9!_..

It isespecially equipped and should improvethe care of patients with chest diseases.The new west wing is being occupiedas this is written and should be in useby the time you read it. The outpatient floor was occupied on June 23 and thefirst nursing division was used on June28, Moving is expected to be completedby October 1.Changes in BillingsAmong the major alterations of Bill­ings which will be made possible by thenew wing is the introduction of a newnursing division for intensive surgicalnursing. "S3" north, presently occupiedby Psychiatry, will be remodeled into atwenty-bed nursing' division which willhe partly occupied by the NeurosurgicalService, since so many of their patientsarc difficult nursing problems. Therewill also be room for several other sur­gical patients who require close nursingattendance. This development is de­signed partially to solve the problem ofthe shortage of special-duty nurses.Most of the patients here will be thosewho require full-time special nursing.The ratio of nurses to patients on thisfloor will be high but considerably lessthan required to do the nursing bymeans of three special nurses a day foreach patient.Another major change will be made inthe Metabolic unit on "A4." With thenew emergency unit, the "A4" operat­ing room will be closed, and the Meta­bolic unit will be expanded to abouttwice its present size. This will requirea larger diet kitchen and laboratory.These and other remodeling programscannot be undertaken until the move tothe new building is virtually complete,but work will be begun then and, it ishoped, completed in a few months.The new wing as a whole adds to thefacilities for research, teaching, andpatient care. The expansion of hospitalbed space is somewhat greater thanthe increase in outpatient facilities.This is desirable because in the past thepatient crowding has been greatest inthe hospital. The general arrangementof the building fits our program ofcombined research and teaching by afull-lime clinical facully. As the newspace is occupied, an air of enthusiasmand anticipation pervades the wholcgroup, All hough none of our threegroups-faculty, house staff, or stu­dents-is ever unanimous regarding anysubject, and none is ever in entireacrecrnent with the other two groups;almost everyone contemplates the wide­spread changes that will occur with theconviction that all of us will be helpedand that the growth of the medicalschool will be accelerated.The effect of the recent building pro­gram must be seen to be understood.The medical school rejoices in the loyal­ty of its alumni group. We hope that thegreat changes which have taken place inthe last several years will stimulateyour curiosity and move all of you tovisit us so that you may see your schoolas it is now.MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 9FA C U L T Y N E JV SW'illiam E.

He gavean amusing account of the daily routineof a full-time medical faculty who, "freefrom the distractions of private practice,are devoting their lives to study, contem­plation, research, and teaching." The rou­tine begins with an eight . o'clock class,which is immediately followed by wardrounds. "With two hours allowed, andwith four new cases to be presented bystudents in thirty minutes apiece, there isplenty of time to visit the other patients,distributed with remarkable impartialitybetween the third, fourth, and fifth floorsvertically and between Ellis and Mary­land A venues horizontally." Rounds arefinished just as the cafeteria closes forlunch at one-thirty, the steam tables aredismantled, and Telepage announces thatyou are wanted on the phone.After the telephone call has been an­swered, your secretary, who has been onlya few months on the job, shyly announcesthat she is going to have a baby and willhave to quit soon. From there on the daydisintegrates rapidly. "You talk to patientsand their relatives, call the clinics to makeappointments, talk to patients, arrange for a meeting of a medical society, review his­tories and physical examinations with theirvaried forms, different styles of handwrit­ing, and missing or cleverly hidden labora­tory reports." It is now five o'clock andtime for the weekly conference."At six o'clock there is a committeemeeting downtown, a dinner affair, whichyou reach at six-forty." Four hours lateryou come home, ready to study what youhoped would be some very interestingmedical reports relevant to your research.But either because by now you have lostyour power to focus or because of thehighly developed art of medical abbrevia­tion, the pages look blurred. "The pa­tient, we are told, is admitted with cer­tain 'Sx' which are first 'Dx'd' and then'Rx'd.' I leave you to guess who is 'Vx'd.' "At the end, Dr. Ricketts expressedserious concern lest the great physical ex­pansion of the medical school cut in onthe time the faculty can devote to teach­ing and research. And he emphasized thatit is teaching that always must have pri­ority. "Our institution is primarily a med­ical school and only secondarily a placewhere research is carried on. It was found­ed on the bedrock of individual attentiongiven by the instructor to the student atthe bedside." He suggested that moreteaching be done by residents and instruc­tors, from whom often both students andprofessors could learn. "I still cherish theillusion, however, that years and experi­ence have something to offer, and I be­lieve that older men should continue toteach actively until they are eligible formembership in that society recently found­ed by, but not for, Dr. Kenyon-TheAmerican Society for the Preservation ofAcademic Dead Wood. Perhaps the stu­dents should be the ones to decide whenthat time has come."Robert Ebert, in speaking for the facul­ty, emphasized a goal that should givedirection to all parts of medical education-the development of a scientifically crit­ical attitude.

He shouldquestion all his thinking and procedureson the assumption that medical knowledgewill never take final form. "One way toencourage this critical attitude is associa­tion with teachers who are active inves­tigators. Such men are not perhaps themost entertaining teachers, but they havean attitude of questioning which is trans­mitted to the students. Another methodis for the students themselves actively toparticipate in a research project, and theprogram last night (the Senior ScientificSession) demonstrated the remarkablyhigh level of investigative work that canbe done by medical students. Once stu­dents have worked on a research problemof their own they will never read a sci­entific article with a passive attitudeagain."Dr. Ebert then went on to say that, inso far as the University of Chicago Schoolof Medicine succeeds in instilling this at­titude in its graduates, it makes sure thattheir practice of medicine will be a con- tinuous medical education. For, if the crit­ical attitude once takes seed, it will al­ways grow. Moreover, it is the scientificattitude that is indispensable to science,not the facilities. "To be scientists andscholars, you do not need finely equippedlaboratories and large research grants, foreach patient you treat will present a prob­lem and a challenge. Only remember to seewhat is there and not what someone toldyou should be there, and you will con­tribute to the ever increasing fund of med­ical knowledge."Morris Seide had the last word to say,for the Seniors:"Just about four years ago our classmet for the first time in Abbott 133.New suits, clean white shirts, bright-eyedand eager to start our medical education.Tonight, the night before we disperse, it isappropriate that we meet again. The suitsare four years older, the shirts are a littlefrayed-but we are still eager."These four years have brought remark­able changes in each of us, and the realchange in us is reflected as an apparentchange in others. For instance, do youremember the first patient you worked upin your Junior year? I do. Someone musthave briefed him on all the wrong an­swers and all the maneuvers that wouldfrustrate me the most. It took me sevenhours to work up my first patient-andI made the wrong diagnosis."Compare your first patient with thepatient you worked up this afternoon. Injust two years the I.Q. of Billings patientshas risen at least 100 points."And the faculty. What a change in thefaculty. In the Junior year they were allogres, sadists, torturers. Presentation ofcases was a diabolically conceived psycho­logical war of attrition. Look at the sameman today-a gentleman, a scholar, a well­rounded individual. Presenting the case to­day was a pleasure."Seriously, it must be a source of agreat deal of satisfaction to the facultyto observe the changes from Freshman toSenior and to know they have participatedin the maturation process."We are all proud of our faculty and[Continued 011 page 16] -16 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN"" .".4/..-"., .. ;f ;!

Johnson (Rush '22).Other similar loan funds include the Kel­logg Fund, made possible in 1942 by alarge grant from the Kellogg Foundationfor the purpose of aiding medical studentswho were participating in the acceleratedwar program. The Coit (1926), MedicalStudent (1926), and Abrahamson (1944)Funds represent the other loan funds avail­able specifically for medical students.It is of interest that over half of themore than $40,000 involved in these funds,can be attributed directly to the efforts ofmembers of the Medical Alumni Associa­tion.In spite of this large sum of moneydesignated for student loans, the need foradditional funds is great. The rapid riseof living costs, as well as of the cost ofmedical education, has made it impossiblefor many deserving and able students tocontinue their education without financialaid from our university, Our scholarship 1953 Rettnion-[Continued from page 15]we are proud of Frank Fitch.

Our loan fundsarc also inadequate, and, in order to offersome assistance to all students who aredeserving, we must limit drastically theamount of such aid that anyone studentmay receive. So great is the need thatoften a deserving student cannot receiveaid until some former loan has been paidback.You can understand, therefore, why Iwish again to thank the Medical AlumniAssociation for its continued interest inour students and specifically for establish­ing the Medical Alumni Loan Fund. Itis important that admission to the medicalprofession be determined by quality only.Very sincerely yours,JOSEPH CEITHAlI1LDean of StudentsDivision oj Biological Sciences
