Excerpt from Summary of Typical School Surveys The report is divided into a general discussion and a detailed report on individual schools arranged by states. The general part of the report Opens with a historical account of medical education in the United States and Canada. Then follow summaries of the ideal and actual basis of medical education, of the course of study (74 pages), of the financial aspects of the situation (17 pages), and of such topics as medical sects, medical state boards, education of special classes, such as graduate students, women, negroes. The report is very pointed in its criticisms of the general situation and Of special schools. The reconstruction of medical education which has been going on since the appearance of this report is the strongest evidence of its strength and timeliness. The survey was undertaken by the Foundation because it was found that the administration of university pensions immediately involved the Foundation in the consideration of the relation of medical schools to universities. Historically and in fact medical schools have only the loosest connection with universities. The agent of the Foundation was not invited by many of the schools, while in others he was welcomed and his work facilitated as fully as possible.
