LEGISLATION FOR OPERATION OF RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITAL

(3) The Legal Counsel of the University and the Director of the State Department of Public Welfare submit a bill for an Act relating to the operation of the Research and Educational Hospital, which is a revision of a previous form presented to the Board. This proposal is the result of a year's 6tudy of the cooperative arrangement between the University and the Department by a joint committee representing the two agencies and meets with the approval of the medical faculty and the officials of the department. Copies of this bill were sent by the Legal Counsel to the Members of the Board. It is very desirable that this bill be introduced in the Legislature as soon as possible and I therefore recommend that definite action be taken by the Board at this time sanctioning the proposed legislation. On motion of Mr. Barrett, the proposed bill was sanctioned.
