RUCKER HOME FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN

The President reported that long-range planning for the work with crippled children
called for a division of the work between the hospital center and the site of the old Rucker Home
west of the University on Route 250. In the light of the unanimity of opinion by the various
consultants that the old house ought to be demolished, he requested authority to proceed with
demolition. The Board resolved that the President be authorized to proceed with demolition
when he deemed the time appropriate.
