RESOLUTIONS OF THE MEDICAL FACULTY, APRIL 11, 1917.

Whereas the Council on National Defense and the Surgeon
Generals of the Army and Navy have expressed their opinion that
it is advisable for medical schools to continue instruction
through the summer months, and so, by graduating classes
earlier, meet unusual needs of the country for medical service;

And Whereas the first, second and third year medical
classes have signified their willingness to go on continuously
with the work during the period of the war, therefore:

Be it resolved that the Medical Faculty hereby petitions
the Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia to
authorize such continuous work in the Department of Medicine
as the President with the advice of the Medical Faculty may
consider desirable.
