The Committee presents the following report.

1. Whereas, all present recognized the fact that a new medical center would provide the
most desirable modern institution, the assembled Committee is of the unanimous opinion that without
substantial supplementary funds a new construction is not justified.

2. Whereas the Committee has been assured by Dr. Lippard that a modern functional institution
can be developed at the present location by increasing capacity, by providing additional equipment,
and by disposing of outmoded sections to be replaced by a new building, so constructed that
there may be future expansion through superimposing additional floors, the Committee recommends the
approval of the request for $9,000,000 for capital outlay for the development of the present Hospital
and Medical School in the following stages:

A. Development of Ward Building, increasing the capacity by 250 beds, at a roughly
estimated cost of $3,500,000.

B. Development of a central diagnostic service unit, including Out-Patient Department,
X-Ray Department, central Clinical Pathology and Laboratories, at a roughly estimated cost of $5,000,000.

C. Additional unit in the Medical School Building. General expansion of class rooms
and laboratories for pre-clinical medical sciences, at a roughly estimated cost of $1,000,000.

Presuming that the instruction as to a report on maintenance was related to the new medical
center, the Committee is making no report on maintenance, other than the suggestion that the general
question of maintenance may be deserving of further study
