Ng December 8, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 59 tendent, in her report, put aside sta- tistics and gave the more intimate side of its workings. How the hospital must be ready to meet a maximum demand which goes as high as 231 at any time, how it must be ready for emergencies, those unexpected incidents in a per- son's life which call for dependence cn the hospital, and how its facilities must ever be available to aid in diagno- sis and treatment, she described as the institution's policies and reasons for its expensive maintenance. And what are the dividends?" she asked. "They are memories--memories of broken bones mended, of a patient who has regained independence, of 896 babies safely born, of diseases cured. The function of a hospital is not to pro- duce a manufactured product, but service," she concluded. Doctors Make Reports Dr. William R. Parkes, chief of the surgery department; Dr. George F. Dick, chief of the medical department; and Dr. William C. Danforth, chief of the obstetrics department, reported on the work of their departments and paid tribute to the nursing care which had been provided. Facilities of the operating rooms were extended to 75 surgeons, asserted Dr. Parkes. Dr. Danforth stated that in the 892 mater- nity cases, there were only two deaths, and that the infant mortality rate was 4.2 percent. Certain cases which may be subtracted, however, make a cor- rected mortality of 1.7. Miss Elizabeth W. Odell, director of the school of nursing, reported a year's enrollment of 126. Four additions to the endowment announced by Dr. Buchanan were: $10,000 through the will of Arthur B. Jones; $100 from Mrs. C. H. Betts in memory of her husband, Charles Hen- ry Betts: $5000 from estate of Rosa- mund W. Ridgeway, wife of H. Bas- com Ridgeway, LL. D. for 30 years pastor of the First Methodist church and ten years president of Garrett Biblical institute; and $5,000 as a mem- orial to Dr. M. C. Bragdon from his children, Mrs. Elizabeth Bradgon Moseley and Merrill C. Bragdon of Evanston; Charles Ridgeway Braedon of Cincinnati and Mrs. Francis Brag- don West of Cleveland.
