The work of Newhauser and Caffey in pioneering the field of pediatric roentgenology is setting a splendid example for all medical schools, and I am sure that a place must be made for such appointments on all our faculties. Pediatric pathology is likewise making rapid strides under Farber and surely, before long, must be integrated into our pathology and pediatric departments.
