BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 16

" W e have, unsolicited, been invited by letter to bring our cases to the Burnham City Hospital. W e are permitted to enter the Margaret Carle Sanitarium with our patients, and I have been personally informed by the Mercy Hospital that w e m a y enter that institution with our patients. That comprises all of the hospitals in this vicinity. " N o w w e are asking permission to enter the University Hospital which is an institution maintained for the benefit of students, faculty members, and employees of the institution. This institution is on University property, is tax exempt, has as its staff individuals who are paid out of tax money of the state of which I a m a taxpayer. I see no reason why I should be denied the rights granted m e by the Illinois State Board to practice m y profession. "There come under our care individuals who prefer our special kind of treatment, people who employ no other kind of treatment, but in case of illness necessitating their removal to a hospital for nursing care or isolation they are compelled to accept other treatment and are refused permission to call the doctor of their choice. "I respectfully submit these facts to you for your consideration, and kindly request that these be submitted to the board of trustees for their further consideration." Yours truly, C. E. Pollard, D.O. I recommend that the Board of Trustees notify Dr. Pollard that it can not see its way clear to modify its policy. O n m o t i o n of M r . A r m s t r o n g , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s adopted.
