1164 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 27 Recognizing these facts, the State Department of Public Health has purchased and now has in operation mobile x-ray laboratories which are capable of x-raying 200 to 300 individuals a day. Many communities and colleges have already taken advantage of these facilities and the effectiveness of the casefinding program has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all. T h e experience among approximately 20,000,000 men and women examined for military service also clearly demonstrated t h e soundness of mass x-ray surveys. T h e University of Illinois is a community of thousands of young students who would benefit greatly from such a survey. In the age groups of 15 to 19 and 20 to 24, the records show that the tuberculosis death rates begin to rise significantly. Inasmuch as a large proportion of the students falls within these age limits, the importance of tuberculosis case-finding efforts among them is obvious. T h e discovery of early tuberculosis will enable the infected student to recognize the need for treatment long before the disease reaches the hopeless stage. With these thoughts in mind, I should like to make known to every member of the Board of Trustees that the Department of Public Health stands ready with its facilities and personnel to assist the University in carrying out an x-ray survey of the student population and members of the University staff at any time mutually agreeable. Very truly yours, ROLAND R. CROSS, M.D. Director of Public Health O n m o t i o n of D r .
