CENTER FOR HANDICAPPED CHILDREN (8) On recommendation of the Executive Committee of the Research and Educational Hospitals, the Executive Committee of the College of Medicine, and the Vice-President in Charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges, I have authorized the establishment of a Center for Handicapped Children in the Research and Educational Hospitals. A report submitted jointly by the Dean of the College of Medicine and the Medical Director of the Research and Educational Hospitals presenting the full text of this proposal, the function of the Center, plan of organization, and budget is hereby filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. Since this project is primarily a reorganization and consolidation of existing services, funds are available in the budgets of the College of Medicine and the Research and Educational Hospitals and in the Division of Services for Crippled Children. In addition, grants from the United States Public Health Service and the United States Children's Bureau may be available for future development of the program. I have also approved the appointment of Dr. Edward F . Lis, presently Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the College of Medicine, as Director of the Center for Handicapped Children in the Department of Pediatrics of the Research and Educational Hospitals and in the Division of Services for Crippled Children, in addition to his appointment as Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the College. Confirmation of these actions is requested.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, the President's actions were confirmed.

LAUNDRY FACILITIES FOR CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES CAMPUS (9) T h e laundry operated by the University at the Chicago Professional Colleges campus was started in 1925 by the State Department of Public Welfare. It is in the basement of the Research and Educational Hospitals and was transferred to the University in 1041. Some of the original equipment is still in service. T h e University has expanded the laundry by assigning a section in the basement of the south wing of the Hospitals building which is some distance from the main laundry, but even this additional space and facilities a r e not now adequate to serve present laundry requirements of the Chicago Professional Colleges and approximately 20 per cent of the University's laundry work is done by commercial laundries. T h e laundry service requirements will increase, and the University has been requested by the Department of Public Welfare to provide laundry service, if possible, for the new Psychiatric Institute State Hospital to be constructed in the near future. Such a service would allow consolidation of laundry facilities
