WATTS' S? :xa CHIEF Interesting Ceremonies at New Mill ing Last Thursday Afternoon Mr. Watts Presentation Speech. I Mr. George W. Watts in pre senting and opening the hospital to Durham and Durham county said: - ': Fifteen years ago, February 21st next, we presented to Dur ham the hospital, on main street containining twenty-one beds and costing $30,000 with an endow ment of $20,000. " ; For some two or three years afterwards we were much disap pointed in the failure of the pub lic in general to make use of the situation. Yet the reason now seems obvious. But few of the smaller cities or larger towns had hospitals, and their uses were only not known, but misappre hended by the large majority of oar citizens. They were regard ed a place where the sick rwere taken to die, and those in need of surgical attention to be multi la ted. Time was required to correct this impression and edu cate the people as to the use, in tent and purpose of the hospital. Those in charge, and our medi cal fraternity, continued faithful in advocating the advantages to the sicltfof such a place. Those who had been patients were pleased and told others of their experiences. The hospital then began to grow in popular favor, until there ceased to be room for the applicants, This required in the spring of 1906, an additional two story building, containing eight wards with the necessary baths, kitchens, etc. Even this however, did not supply the de mands, and the opportunity of doing the greatest amount , of rood, so we began to think of bigger and better things. The matter was carefully considered for many months and discussed with my family. We concluded that a new hosbital to meet all the demands for years to come, and modern in all respects, might be erected for about $75,000. Then the architect was sent for and a location sought. He dis approved of an addition to the old hosDitoI. because of tack of room, as well as the noise' and smoke from the street and trains. Sentiment lor tne old place was hard to overcome. The present location was selected after care ful inspection of all available sites near Durham. The archi tects submitted plans; these were changed as other useful features were suggested," until the final plans had grown several times larger than originally contempla ted. Work was started in May, 1903, and now, after nineteen months we bid you welcome to the consummation of the first group or buildings, wnicn, we believe you will find as nearly complete as a small hospital can be. Much work yet remains to be done on the grounds; this will be continued until the grounds are as complete as the buildings. It is our desire and purpose to erect next year a nurse's home on the north side of the main building, similar in outward ap pearance to the general pavilion now on the south side. We also hope from time to time, as the demands for more space trrow to add other pavilions. or wards, in conformation to a plan for a large group. And now Mr. Chairman, it is a great pleasure to hand to you, as 7. '-.trustees JJtti .. s W - - I aiB... property, to be yours as ion -c8 t i jt j3 USed exclusively far a hospi tal for thes sick, at which board, attention "and nursing shall be free to the" indigent sick of Dur ham city and county. May it ever be conducted in the true christian or Christ-hke spirit, where all the distinction of class or creed fade away in the one universal desire to bind up the wound, to relieve the pains and strengthen the courage of our common humanity. r , In addition, Mr. Chairman, I hand you securities amounting to $100,000 to be added to the 'en dowment." At a convenient time I will increase the endowment to $200,000, and until this is done I shall contribute in cash sufficient to make the income from this source as if the amount o.' the endowment was already $200,000.
