THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1917. 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." I Talks for the Regents. Frank L. Haller. president of the Nebraska REAVIS DEFENDS .

"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.
