Had Columbia not received it, the U. S. and New York State would have taken it as income taxes. The gift, Mr. Harkness indicated, was to be allocated to the great Medical Center which the university and Presbyterian Hospital have organized in upper Manhattan; and the Medical Center should use it for an Eye Institute.* Pathologists can describe diseased eye conditions. Ophthalmologists can treat and cure a great many...
