board of trustees

[January 17

departing from the policy which it has already established on this point. That policy is that m e n shall be appointed on part-time under pay to give their main strength and most of their time to educational and investigational work in lines for which these hospitals were erected. This policy does not involve the displacement of members of the present extramural clinical staff. T h e policy provides that members of the present extramural clinical staff m a y have control of beds in the n e w hospital in addition to those under control of n e w appointees with the expectation that the two will cordially cooperate. If in any division the Board is of the opinion that such cooperation is impracticable, it will give entire charge of the hospital beds in that division to one m a n , he to n a m e a copperator, and the President is hereby empowered to put this policy into effect in any division w h e n in his judgment it is necessary. With reference to the appointment of two deans the Board thinks it unnecessary to express itself at the present time. T h e Board expresses its appreciation of the interest of the m e m bers of the clinical faculty in this matter and of their frankness in making their statements and feels sure that it can still rely on the continued loyalty and support of the distinguished m e n w h o m a k e up that faculty.
