Excerpt from Thirty-Sixth Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Lunatic Hospital at Worcester: October, 1868 To His Excellency the Governor and the Honorable Council of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Trustees of the Worcester Lunatic Hospital respectfully submit their thirty-sixth Annual Report. This hospital was established nearly forty years ago in the suburbs of the quiet town' of Worcester. It is now in the middle of a thriving and prosperous city. Its essential features remain the same as when it was built, with only the addition of such improvements as its construction permitted. It is yet far from being such a building as the wants of this community require. At no distant day it may be thought advisable to relinquish the valuable tract of land in which it stands, in ex change for a more quiet and less expensive location at a little distance; and, by such exchange, the Trustees believe that a new hospital, suited to the times and to the character of the Commonwealth, might be built without cost to the State. As it is, the Trustees have confidence that the condition of its inmates, during the past year, has been as satisfactory as at any previous time.
