of the College of Medicine. If it had been feasible to do this, it might have saved the University the immediate necessity of erecting the clinical laboratory for the College of Medicine. It will be seen from the letter that there is no hope of bringing this about during the present biennium. July 31, 1918 President Edmund J, James, University of Illinois

DEAR D R . JAMES:

No decision has yet been made regarding the new Eye and Ear Infirmary for two reasons: First, that we hope to include it with the medical group which we had expecte d to inherit from the Government; and second, because the money available and the general conditions make it impractical to attempt building now. I do not care to locate it until the whole scheme can be studied over again and a completed plan for the future made. It is in my mind to include in any plans we make, opportunity for your clinical men to use the facilities of the institution for teaching. If you could use the present Eye and Ear Infirmary for that purpose and can work out a plan with Dr. Singer, it will be entirely agreeable to us and in accordance with our ideas of what we think we are here for. Yours sincerely,

CHAS. H. THORNE

Director

No action was taken in this matter.
