Radical changes in the tech- nique of medical training, however, necessitate the raising of an adequate endowment for the medical branch it it is to maintain its present standing as a “class A” school. Tt is the hope of the university to raise an endow- ment of at least $1,000.000 for the medical school and hospital, so as to enable the institutions to keep up with the latest laboratory equipment. ““The school, with little or no en dowment, cannot conform to the re- quirements of ‘class A’ schools,” satd Dr. John Foote, prominent Washing- ton physician and member of the Georgetown staff, *“and many such have been forced to close their doors.
