The Colleges and Schools 235 the corporation, were turned over to the Trustees of the University of Illinois and accepted by the President of the Board on their behalf. The University of Illinois admitted to the medical school, thus reopened, the students of that school which the College of Physicians and Surgeons had established in the plant the day after the University had closed its school. Since then the University has conducted the school as an integral part of its organization, under the name of the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois. In 1913 the faculty was reorganized and a considerable number of the most noted men in the profession were added to the instructional and the investigative staff. In 1913 the requirements for admission to the College of Medicine were advanced to include a year of college work in addition to the completion of a four-year high school course. For the year 1914-15 a second year of college work was added as a prerequisite for entrance. At the end of the first two years of the four-year curriculum in Medicine the degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred; and at the completion of the curriculum, the degree of Doctor of Medicine. The first year's work in Medicine may now be taken at Urbana. The urgent need of the College of Medicine for a clinical building is about to be met by virtue of an agreement between the University and the State Department of Public Welfare, approved July 12, 1919, whereby the Department agreed to purchase land and to erect a group of hospitals in Chicago, and the University agreed to supply the staff officers, research workers, and clinical faculty for the hospitals and to turn over to the department the sum of $300,000 specially appropriated by the General Assembly in 1919 for a clinical building.* The hospitals and units to be constructed include: The Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, to provide medical and surgical treatment for all indigent residents of Illinois who are afflicted with diseases of the eye, ear, nose, or throat. •Minutes, Board of Trustees, 1918-20, pp. 487-409
