The calorimeter, used in metabolism research conducted by the Russell Sage Institute of Pathology and Cornell University Medical College, is moved to New York Hospital from Bellevue Hospital. Connected to the research is a small six-bed ward, which would later become the oldest ward dedicated to metabolism research in the country. Dr. Eugene DuBois leads the research, which began in 1913 under the leadership of Dr. Graham Lusk, chair of the Department of Physiology.
