The name of this Department was changed in accordance with the Legis- lative enactment in 1919 from the Commission on Mental Diseases to the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases. The Department has general supervision of all public and private insti- tutions for the insane, feeble-minded and epileptic. It has the right of investigation and recommendation as to any matter relating to the classes under care. Each state institution has, however, its own Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor and Council. The direct powers of the Department concern the interrelation of Institu- tions, and matters which are common to them all, such as the distribution and transfer of patients, deportation to other states and countries, claims to sup- port as state charges in Institutions, etc. The expenditure of money under special appropriations is under the control of the Department, which is required to prepare plans for new buildings, and to select land to be taken for any new or existing Institution. The Department also analyzes all requests for maintenance appropriations. Charles G. De^Vey, M.D., was reappointed an Associate Commissioner in November, 1922. RETIREMENT OF ARTHUR V. GOSS, M.D. Arthur V. Goss, M.D. retired as Superintendent of the Taunton State Hospital on September 15, 1922, after thirty years' service, sixteen years of which were as Superintendent, succeeding the late John P. Brown, M.D. The Taunton State Hospital is the third oldest public institution in the' State' having opened its doors in 1854. When Doctor Goss Avent to Taunton in 1892, there Avere seven public institutions for the mentally ill, and one for the feeble- minded, making a total of eight, as against fifteen institutions for these classes at the present time. The folloAvang testimonial is by the Trustees of the Taunton State Hospital, and shows the regard in which Doctor Goss is held. The record of the years he spent on the Staff of this Institution testifies to tlie exceptional length of service given by Arthur V. Goss, M.D., but to the Trustees is presented the task of trying to set forth in inadequate words an expression of their intimate knowledge of what he has done for and Avhat he has been to the Institution. UnsAverving devotion and tireless labor characterized the span of a genera- tion during Avhieh he Avas Superintendent. He not onlv upheld the splendid traditions of his predecessors but he achieved ncAV ideals. He Avas friend as Avell as counselor to the patients and was no less the head of the Hospital, keenly alive to the responsibilities oAved the State as Avell as to the individuals serA^ed. He found his chief delight in altruism, and he Avas an inspiration P.D. 117. , 5 as well as a mentor for those who served -vvith him. Genial by nature, kindly by choice, he Avas temperamentally well fitted for the tasks and difficulties, superior to the monotony of routine and responsive to the splendid spur of planning the future of the State Hospital in his charge. He loved the Institution and the work manifested it; he was beloved at the Institution and only the thought that he has w^ell earned a rest can solace his departure. That his years to come may be many and rich with the happi- ness he deserves is the wish we extend to our friend and the Hospital's, Arthur V. Goss, M.D. APPOINTMENTS AND RESIGNATIONS. Ransom A.

    Notes from Visit to Danvers State Hospital on May 27, 2013, Discussions with Jeff Rhuda, Business Development Manager, Symes; 978-815-0129, [email protected], by Gil Rodgers and Ros Smythe1 Summary Ros Symthe and I visited the former Danvers State Hospital on a beautiful, warm, sunny day in May 2013. The former Danvers State Hospital is located on top of Hathorne Hill at 1101 Kirkbride Drive, Danvers -- a few miles from Rt. 95. We walked around the facility, talked to the receptionist at the main office in the famous and elegantly restored Kirkbridge Building, and met with Jeff Rhuda, Business Development Manager of Aria at Hathorne Hill. The former hospital opened in the late 1800s and at its peak housed 3,000 mentally ill patients. The restored building and new construction occupies 77 acres of the total land for the former hospital that covered almost 500 acres. Site Development2 The property was initially sold in 2001 to Archstone Developers who proposed a mix of homes and office space for the hospital site. They had planned to preserve the central building of the state hospital, the former administration building, and two adjoining wings; however with the costs associated with the preservation and the market downturn, the developers pulled out of the project. Three years later the site was sold to AvalonBay Communities for 18.1 million dollars and in 2006 they embarked on one of the largest state hospital reuses. They spent over 1 Notes prepared by Gil Rodgers. 2 Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), http://ma-smartgrowth.org/wp- content/uploads/Danvers_Avalon.pdf 1 $80 million dollars on the largest product ever undertaken, and the end product was 497 units, including market rate and affordable apartment units as well as an adjacent condominium com- munity by a different developer, Aria.

A broader definition of the disabled,one which includes the disadvantaged, is gaining acceptance, resulting in the need for expanded rehabilitation programs. This study provides the necessary guidelines for that expansion. Principal recommendations among the 200 made by the Commission include: (1) administrative reorganization at both state and community level, (2) increased services on a regional level through cooperation of qualified agencies, (3) improved placement efforts, including sheltered employment, (4) extension of the architectural barriers board to cover all buildings open to the public, (5) expanded services for the public offender, (6) adjustment to technological change, (7) strengthened research units, and (8) increased male recruitment and training of personnel.
