LAND FOR N E W PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL BUILDING (29) The Board of Managers of the Presbyterian Hospital is considering plans for a post-war building program, and one of the possibilities is that this Hospital will be relocated adjacent to the buildings of the University of Illinois Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy. The area at the northeast corner of Polk and Wolcott Streets (now used as a recreational field) is considered a desirable site. T h e question is raised whether the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois would consider transferring this or other area by sale or gift to the Presbyterian Hospital for the purpose indicated.
