Brooklyn’s planned $100,000,000 medical center became an actuality over the week-end when Joseph J. Baker, prominent Jewish attorney and president of the Jewish Hospital, announced, in his capacity as counsel for the new center, that the New York State Board of Regents had voted the charter to organize the Long Island College of Medicine.
