The Illinois Surgical Institute for Children, to furnish to indigent children, residents of Illinois, who are physically deformed, treatment, training, and education. The State Institute for Juvenile Research, to provide for the study of the nature and treatment of behavior difficulties in minors. The University Clinical Institute, for the study of the causation, prevention, alleviation, and cure of disease. The University, through its College of Medicine is to have the use of the clinical facilities of said hospitals for teaching purposes and research work. The University is to appoint and control the professional staff of the hospitals, physicians, surgeons, internes, laboratory technicians, librarians, and assistants for the treatment of patients and for teaching and research purposes. It shall control the work of the nurses, ward attendants, and all others in so far as this work is strictly medical. The University is to provide courses of instruction in medical and allied subjects for workers in the Department, sueh as training schools for nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, dietitians, and others as may from time to time be agreed upon between the contracting parties. The University is to consult with and advise the Department and the Department is to consult with the University as to the needs of the University for teaching and research facilities in the buildings erected or to be erected. The state and the nation are largely indebted to Director Charles H. Thome, of the Department of Public Welfare for the development of this plan, which will constitute one of the greatest endowments for medical education and research ever provided.
