At the forty-ninth meeting of the
State Board of Health Committee for Blue Ridge Sanatorium,
held at Blue Ridge Sanatorium, Charlottesville,
Virginia, February 4, 1925; the following resolution
was adopted:

"Moved by Dr. Smith, duly seconded and carried,
that after February 1, 1925, the Blue Ridge Sanatorium
Committee decline the $3,000 annually appropriated
by the University of Virginia for the instruction of
students of the University in tuberculosis work with
the understanding that the University shall pay
Dr. William E. Brown, Medical Director of Blue Ridge
Sanatorium, $700 annually for his services as instructor,
and $300 annually for transportation expenses of students
to the Sanatorium; and, with the hope that the remaining
$2,000 of this fund be given by the University for the
development of the children's clinic by Professor
Lawrence T. Royster."

It is my understanding that it was the intent of
the Committee that the $300 per year for transportation
be made in monthly payments directly by check to Blue
Ridge Sanatorium and that the $700 set aside as compensation
for giving instruction to the medical students
be made payable to me in monthly payments.
