A Stained Glass Window on the History of Medicine

摘要

I N SEPTEMBER, 1938, Dr. and Mrs. W. J. Mayo dedicated their home to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research. It was their hope and intent that Mayo Foundation House would be "a meeting place where men of medicine may exchange ideas for the good of mankind." The facilities of the house have been splendidly adapted to the various needs of the clinic and the foundation. The spacious rooms proved suitable for the seminars, lectures and demonstrations which are closely related to the educational program carried on by the staff and fellows, and the large hall on the third floor provided an unusual opportunity for the continuation and extension of educational and related social functions. This room has been used for meetings of the faculty and of the Clinical, Surgical and Laboratory Societies, for the Research Club and for meetings of various medical associations held in Rochester, as well as to honor distinguished guests and to hold meetings of the music, drama and reading divisions of the organizations of the wives of staff members and fellows.
