Acting Dean Davis further recommends, and I concur, that professorships outside of the Research and Educational Hospitals be termed clinical professorships, the appointments to such professorships to be determined not only by the qualifications of the nominee, but also by the clinical facilities which he may have at his disposal to put at the service of the College of Medicine.
