The hnal meeting OF the lady Board Of

Mrs. s. l.. Blomberg. The faculty OF the
Medical College of Virginia addressed to
the ladies' a warm letter OF commentator
II Is appended here:
''To the Lady Board OF Managers of the
Old Dominion Hospitals
with the passing of the Old Dominion
Hospital the faculty Of the Medical Col
lege OF Virginia desires to tender to It's
lady Board of Managers It's thanks for the
earnest manner in which It, and particu-
larry It's Executive Board. has labored for
the welfare OF the institution
"At first, when in the enthusiastic ex-
element OF new enterprise. large
number Of ladies undertook to procure and
furnish such assistance as might be neccs.
sary to providing tho means for running
the house, the hoypital.o great degree
was equipped and launched through their
efforts; and later, when, In trying vicis-
STUDIES. many of the members wore drawn
away by claims closer TO them than those
OF the institution, or through other influ.
ences. a small number of the original
members most faithfully held to their
trust, and. to the end OF It's existence
did more than their full duty towards the
Old Dominion Hospital.
Special Acknowledgment.
ITO the chairman Of the Executive
Board. to the treasurer and TO the secre-
tary does the faculty especially acknowl-
edge It's great obligation. and to them
and TO those unto the end associated with
them. does it offer assurances Of sincere
appreciation of their services.
THE faculty trusts that all connection
with them in hospital work shall not be
severed, and desires to present for their
consideration n field of usefulness in
which, with great lcssening OF direct re-
Sponslbility, they may yet, In less ar
Guous way. continue their efforts In the
interest of noble charity.
"By the establishment Of an auxiliary
society, and enlisting in its ranks large
number OF influential ladies. the means
ri caring for many INDECENT patients in
the wards OF the Memorial Hospital may
be provided; and, beyond this, there may
vices TO those suffering and far removed
from their homes and friends.
ITO those who have already proved
themselves OF broad sympathy and great
efficiency in such charitable work. no
els boration on this subject is necessary.
with a God bless you we close our
official connection In the Old Dominion
Hospital. G
