FACILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH
The Department of Medicine not only fosters in its methods of instruction
the inductive study by the student himself of the phenomena presented by
the human body in health and disease, but also encourages the spirit of investigation
of unsolved problems of medical science and practice on the
part of the instructors and students. Students are encouraged to engage
in research as they are prepared for it, usually assisting an instructor
in some special study or else conducting the research under his guidance and
advice. For this purpose the scientific and clinical laboratories offer the
necessary facilities, and heads of departments will always be glad to suggest
and outline problems for investigation by any medical student or by others
possessing the necessary training therefor.
Library.—The medical Library contains upwards of 7,000 volumes. It is
housed in the basement of the Rotunda, and is in charge of a special Librarian.
Its list of current journals includes over eighty of the more important
domestic and foreign periodicals.
