BEORGETOWN SEES IMPROVED PERIOD New Medical-Dental Building Outstanding Addition to College Plant. Opening of the new academic year at Georgetown University this month, it was announcad, finds this pioneer educational institution in the District of Columbia at the threshold of an unprecedented period in its expansion. Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, S. J., presi- dent at Georgetown, is planning for the completion and probable occupancy of the new $1,000,000 home for the medical and dental schools early this Winter. The completion of this model medical plant on Reservolr road, it was said, is expected to be followed soon by an addition to the group of college buildings on the Hilltop campus. As in the case of the medical and dental schools, the rapid growth of the college necessitated other and less im- portant improvements at Georgetown during the Summer. Among these was a new dining hall for the senior class provided in the old Maguire Building. ‘An addition also was made to the fac- ulty bullding and the infirmary, both of which were renovated throughout. Except. for the installation of electric lighting, these two buildings had re- mained unmodernized since their oc- cupancy nearly 100 years ago. A new college dormitory, it is understood, is being considered as the next improve- ment. Important Expansion. The new medical-dental school build- ing, erected as the first unit of a group of buildings on the Reservoir e site that will be known as the Georgetown University Medical Center, is the most important expansion at the university since the founding of the school of Foreign Service in 1919. The medical and dental schools have utilized every effort in_the construction of their new plant, which will make these depart- ments at Georgetown second to none in the country with respect to adequate laboratory facilities for its teachers and students. When the two main build- ings which comprise the group are ready to be occupied, it was said, the university will have taken the initial step in the path toward the position in medical education which the schools, must reach and maintain. ‘The medical school at Georgetown is fortunate at this critical period of its development, its officials believe, in hav- ing as its new supervisory heads and on its staff professional men widely recog- nized in their special fields of endeavor. Rev. John L. Gipprich, 8, J., director of physics at the college since 1914, and one of the most prominent Jesuit sci- entists, was appointed regent of both medicine and dentistry dur mer. A post graduate of Johns Hop- kins University, Father Gipprich is &rnmmently known for his researches science and has had years of teach- ing in Jesuit universities. Georgetown Men Honored. The new dean of medicine, Dr. John A. Foote, and Dr. William Gerry Mor- gan, professor of gastro-enterology for many years, were signally honored by the medical profession recently. Dr. Foote was elected president of the Dis- trict of Columbia Medical Society and Dr. Morgan is the new president of the American Medical Society, the super- 'visory body of the medical profession in this country. As successor to Dr. George M. Kober, who has been elevated to the board of te 25 years’ intimate association on its faculty. Widely known in American and European professional circles for his research work in the diseases of children, the new dean has taught this subject many years at Georgetown and 8 eonnected with the staffs of Chil- dren’s, Providence, Gallinger and Found- ling Hospitals. He is tion. g the coming year Dr, Foote and Father Gipprich will have an im- mflm part in arranging for the open- of the Medical School, while the brunt of the work in connection with the Dental School will fall upon the shoulders of Dr. Willlam N. Cogan, dean of that department. Dr. Kober, whose ears of experience in such matters have n utilized by the university in plan~ the erectlon of the new building its equipment, also will have an gmpomm part in the shaping of its The new medical-dental building, when completed, will be one of the R loul the en- nt of both schools after another Sites Are Changed. Dr. Nevills recognized the need of Wvacating the old buil soon adter ding on H street building near the site of the George- town University Hospital and chose the Reservoir road site as one offering the most advantages for the establish- ment of a large medical center at The ding, now nearing comple- tlon, is formed in the shape of a ez i- tal “H.” Situated on the crest o teau, the group will be approached a series of granite steps and pali- sades.
