DOCTOR TROUT'S REPORT ON WOODROW WILSON HOSPITAL:

Doctor Trout, Chairman of the Board's Committee on the Medical School, stated that pursuant to the Board's
prior request, he had recently investigated the possibility of the University's making use of the Woodrow
Wilson Hospital at Staunton, Virginia, for housing the Medical School of the University of Virginia,
in view of the fact that it was being offered by the United States Government as surplus property, and
it was thought could likely be obtained by the University at nominal cost.

Doctor Trout stated that after fully investigating the matter and conferring with Doctor Miller, Superintendent
of the State Board of Education, who was considering a similar proposal on behalf of the State
for that organization, he was satisfied that the use of Woodrow Wilson Hospital by the Medical School
of the University was not feasible and recommended that it be no longer considered in this connection.
