Wilmer Institute

All summer workmen have hammered, walls have risen, grass has sprouted in Baltimore where the Wilmer Institute -- greatest eye-research laboratory in the world-- was being erected, equipped. Last week it was finished. Its fund-- begun by Mrs. Aida de Acosta Root in gratitude to Dr. William Holland Wilmer, who saved her sight (TIME, Feb. 23)--is now $3,000,000. Dr. Wilmer is in complete charge. Rich and poor may go there for healing and only the rich will pay.
