the new institution. Besides the gift of
L15,000 by Mr. Kettlewell for the building, an anonymous donor, a
governor of the Hospital, contributed L500 for the site; Mr. Homan,
another governor, and Mrs. Homan had built a chapel and provided its
furniture and communion plate; and Sir James Tyler had given an organ to
the chapel, and built the lodge at the entrance of the grounds.

Sir Sydney having finished his address, the Prince of Wales said:--

"Sir Sydney Waterlow, Ladies, and Gentlemen,--You have given us
a most interesting account of the history of the institution you
wish me to open. I can only say on behalf of the Princess of
Wales and myself that we are extremely happy to have an
opportunity of assisting at the inauguration of an institution
such as this, where the patients ought to feel very grateful for
the manner in which every plan for their comfort has been
carried out through the munificence of Mr. Kettlewell. Nothing
can be of greater importance than that convalescent homes such
as this should exist, especially in connection with large
hospitals such as St. Bartholomew's. The spot now chosen, with
its healthy aspect and beautiful scenery, will, I am sure, meet
all requirements. It affords me great pleasure to be here
to-day, and I feel proud to be the president of such an
institution as St. Bartholomew's, and to be able to assist Sir
Sydney Waterlow, who takes such interest in, and devotes so much
of his time and energies to, the prosperity of the hospital. I
have great satisfaction in declaring the home to be now open."

The ceremony over, the Rev. S. Kettlewell, who had offered the
dedicatory prayer, and his son, Mr. C. T. Kettlewell, donor of the
building, were presented to the Prince of Wales by Sir Sydney Waterlow.
Before leaving, the Royal party visited the home, and also inspected the
adjacent laundry buildings which have been erected for use as a washing
establishment for St. Bartholomew's Hospital.

training only, but for all departments of study. The staff of the
College includes profes
