N2  - Science and higher education in this country have been placed under lasting obligation to Mr. Andrew Carnegie by his endowment of the two great institutions that bear his name—the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The first is devoted wholly, or practically so, to active investigation in other fields than the purely medical, the founder and his advisers believing that the needs of medical investigation would be well cared for in other ways. The Carnegie Institution, however, supports the Index Medicus and thus renders a most important and direct service to medicine of greater influence than is perhaps sufficiently appreciated by many in and out of the medical profession. If that unique publication, which is the only index of the current medical literature of the world that we have, were allowed to go under it would be a most lamentable loss to medicine.
