Miss Addams wrote: “The medical center in Jerusalem to be connected with the Hebrew University, seems but a natural culmination of their long and successful effort. The moment is most opportune in that the undertaking can avail itself of the services of the most distinguished German scientists and thereby provide for the Near East the scientific research that has been established elsewhere in the Orient”.
