STATE HOSPITAL
AT THE MEDICAL
SCHOOL DEDICATED
Quarter of Million Structure
Turned Over and Accepted by
Chancellor Avery of Ne
braska University.
The $250,000 hospital of the Uni
versity of Nebraska medical college,
Forty-second street and Dewey ave-
not, was dedicated Tuesday afternoon
with exericses held in a tent on the
campus, north of the new building.
Regents of the university, members
of the legislature, prominent physi
cians and surgeons were among those
jn the platform. Dean Cutter of the
medical college presided. Chancellor
Avery of the university delivered the
dedicatory address.
The chancellor paid a tribute to the
men who built up the medical school
of the university, and especially to
those who have done most toward es
tablishing the medical department
and hospital in Omaha, these includ
ing Regents Miller, Haller, Whitmore
and Coupland and Representative
Grossman. He also lauded the efforts
of Dean Cutter and Representative
Hoffmeister.
He took occasion to correct a
wrong: impression which some people
have regarding a hospital that is
intended for the care of the indigent
sick, saying:
Purpose of the Hospital.
"The hospital has a dual purpose,
it -will not only serve the state by
building up a stronger and better
medical college, but also by operat
ing as a humanitarian agency of the
state. And here I digerss just a little
to correct a misapprehension that ex
ists in the minds of certain people.
"When the hospital building bill
was being considered in the legisla
ture, a certain warm, but not well-informed
friend of the institution de
fended it in all seriousness, saying
that we needed a place where the 'in
dignant poor might be cut up for
the benefit of the medical students.
Now, as a matter of fact, the hospital
does afford a olace where the indigent
poor may receive, at the expense of
the state, tree medical attention ana
where students under proper super
vision may witness delicate pieces of
surgical work by the most skillful
operators. But it in no sense repre
sents any experimentation by stu
dents, or trying out of any new fads.
It represents place where we expect
and have a, right to exoect that the
most ., careful, scientific,' technical,.
skillful medical and surgical work will
bft performed.; -- , :;P '
f Maintain Plana 'of Excellence, 'd
"The state of Nebraska can' and
must maintain this hospital on a
plane of excellence that cannot be
reached by private enterprise and
through private initiative. The object
and result of superior medical facili
ties maintained and operated by the
state is better training for students,
better treatment for patients.
rejoice that the poof man who is
sent here from Box Butte, Banner or
Cheyenne counties for treatment, wilt
receive in healing, or curing as
sistance what a Rothchild or a Van
derbilt with all his millions, could
npt have attained some twenty-five
or fifteen years ago today."
fFred Hoffmeister, a member of the
1915 elgislature and who introduced
the bill providing for the hospital
made the address, presenting the hos
pital to the state, saying;
"We had a hard fight getting the
Mil through. Some of the short
sighted members could not see the use
of such a hospital. They did not
know that Nebraska was behind some
other states in this respect The fight
was won and today we have a place
where the poor from all over the state
can come and receive the best treat
ment in the world without charge."

university board of regents, accepted
the hospital on b
of regents, saying:
! "I can see an endless procession of
poor people going out of this hospital,
cured of diseases and returning to
the state to be useful productive citi
zen, t That is what the hospital is to
do. And it is to be accessible to the
people of the remotest county of the
state. Such a hospital has been needed
for a long time.
"Physicians, surgeons, members of
this hospital tell us, that we have the
f most up-to-date and wisely planned
institution of ts kind in the country."
- Dr. C L. Mullins, president of the
Nebraska State Medical association,
accepted the hospital on behalf of the
medical profession, saying:
fcThe hospital will lave money for
the people of the state because it will
take care of the indigent sick more
.t 1.. .um tk.u Vi m . -j 1- n rar
of at their homes."
; State Superintendent of Public In
struction Clemmons, in accepting the
hospital for the peopde of the state,
called attention to the fact that is has
cost the people only a few cents per
capita and that its benefits to the peo
ple will continue and grow greater as
lime passe. v
Rev. E. H. Jenks, chaplain, offered
the closing prayer and then all those
who desired were taken on inspection
tonrs through the building.

(From a Stiff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 17. (Special.)
Criticism of congress is unjust, ac
cording to Congressman C. F. Reavis
of the First Nebraska district, who
spoke last night before a large crowd
at the monthly dinner ot the brother
hood of St. Paul Methodist church in
this city.
Mr. Reavis said he had no apology
to make for his vote against war when
the president declared war against
Germany. "I thought of the homes
that would be made sad and the bright
young men, the best in our land, who
would go across the water, some of
them never to return," said he. "But
when war had been declared I was
for the prosecution of the war unti
peace should be declared, and I have
taken that attitude ever since. Criti
cism of congress is unjust. Our con
gress has done more in three months
in preparing? for war than the English
t arhament did in eighteen months.
Continuing, he said: "I shall vote
for no peace which shall not carry
with it the utter dissolutipn of the
German military power of that coun
try. We must prosecute the war un
til that end is reached and every man
must do his part in some way to bring
about that end.
Expenditures Reasonable.
He said that no man should criti
cize congress because of the heavy ex
penditures. He made comparisons
with what other countries had spent
and said that greater expenditures
were yet to come. He said that per
haps some of the money might he
wasted or that perhaps graft might
have crept in, but that made no dif
ference, for those things were unim
portant in comparison to the great
good that would come to the civil-
izea woria auer ine war was over.
Every man must do his part. Every
individual should place his money
where it would, help. There must be
a loyal and patriotic standing by the
president until war is over, for we
must win, and it would need the as
sistance of every man and woman to
accomnlish that end.
He thought that the war might be
over by the middle of next summer.
He did not believe that Germany
could hold out longer than that time
Certainly not if the American people
stood by congress and each one did
his or her part.
