This is a delightful record of the development of an institution from its beginning. It makes one feel the institution is living and has a soul for the author talks of people and what they have done, and he makes the people talk of what they are doing. The author's own personality is cast heavily in shadow across the whole picture. It is good to have a written record of such a past, for the glory of the present hospital may not reveal what has gone into its accomplishment. The author has succeeded admirably in recording such a useful story.
