HOSPITAL, A C C O M M O D A T I O N S - U S E O F W O M A N ' S R E S I D E N C E HAUL (9) Letter from Dean Kinley in regard to hospital accommodations. November 21, 1918 President E. J. James DEAR M R . PRESIDENT: As you are aware, we were put to considerable trouble in making proper hospital provisions during the recent epidemic. It was necessary to use sundry buildings, all of which, I think, excepting the isolation hospital, we have rented. Dean Clark, as I understand, is of the opinion that after the holidays we are likely to have our usual experience of an outbreak of different kinds of infectious diseases, and we ought to be preparing to take care of this situation. Therefore, I wish to recommend that authority be secured to use the Woman's Residence Hall, now being vacated by the School of Military Aeronautics, as a consolidated hospital, from now until the close of the University year in June, and no longer; unless within the next week or two developments in the S. A. T. C. make other arrangements better. In making this recommendation I have given careful consideration to the fact that some people may wonder why the building is not immediately turned over to the young women for residence purposes. My reasons for thinking that this would be inadvisable at present are as follows: 1. I doubt whether the repairs and alterations necessary for occupancy as a residence hall could be completed before the beginning of the second semester. It would be undesirable to have workmen in the building after the girls move in. 2. Even if the time for reconstruction is sufficient, it would have to be done under conditions of scarcity and high price of labor and materials such as probably will not prevail next summer. We have felt the scarcity of labor in certain directions in getting our S. A. T. C. barracks ready. •Deduction of $2165 made on account of furloughs beginning August 31 and included in Income of previous statements.
