Excerpt from A Memoir of James Marion Sim, M.D., LL. D Several years after the departure of Dr. Sims for Europe a suflicient sum of money, by subscription, was collected through the personal efforts of Mr. A. R. Wetmore, the late vice-president of the Board of Governors, and the corner stone of what is termed, in recognition of this service, the Wetmore Pavilion of the Woman's Hospital was laid May 23, 1866. This building was completed on the 12th of October, 1867, and was then occupied by patients for the first time. The Woman's Hospital Association, which had consisted of a Board of Lady Managers, now ceased to exist as a distinct corporation, and became blended with the one in charge of the Woman's Hospital of the State of New York. After the hospital had been in full operation for a year or more, Dr. Sims returned to New York for a few months, having been absent some six years. In 1868 he was appointed one of the governors of the Woman's Hos pital, and had conferred on him the honorary title of Senior Consulting Surgeon. He contributed, in 1869, to the eighth volume of the New York. Medical Journal, a paper On the Microscope as an Aid in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Sterility, and it had been read by him before the Medical Society of the County of New York, December 7, 1868.
