NEW HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN

Dr. James G. Lynd Purchases the DeFries Property

AN ELEGANT PLACE

Miss Cora Hess Will Be Made Superintendent of the Institution

Ann Arbor is becoming much enthused over the matter of private hospitals and sanitariums and the city is destined to be the great medical and surgical center of the west.

The latest news in this line is the fact that Dr. James G. Lynds, lately demonstrator of obsterics in the University of Michigan, has purchased the DeFries property, corner of William street and Fourth avenue, and will transform the elegant residence into a large private hospital.

Dr. Lynds has been maintaining a private hospital for women on E. Huron street, but, this he has found inadequate and has secured the more commodious quarters. The increasing number of patients coming from outside points has made this move imperative.

Miss Cora Hess, one of the most efficient trained nurses ever graduated from the University school, will be made superintendent of the new hospital. She is a young lady of fine executive ability and the institution will be admirably managed.

It is not known yet just when the hospital will be ready for patients.

A large number of business and professional men have had meetings with the idea of forming a big social club and they have had their eyes turned toward the DeFries property with the idea of converting it into a swell club house, but Dr. Lynds' purchase has made this impossible and the embryo club will be obliged to look for other available property.
