to Senate at the meeting on May 13, 1947, and which was
laid on the table at that time. Dean Finlayson stated that
a further meeting of the Committee had been held, and that,
in view of developments in the meantime including a visit
of Dr. E.G.Hall, formerly Dean of the Faculty of Medicine
and now President of the University of Western Ontario, it
had been decided to change recommendation No.2. The
revised report was then read as follows:

an integral part of the University of British
Columbia. 1356

University campus; but that in the meantime, if
it is impossible to establish a University
Hospital, the pre-clinical instruction be given
on the campus, and the clinical instruction be
afforded by facilities in existing hospitals -
a plan which is now about to be put into operation at the University of Western Ontario.
3. That steps be taken towards the erection of the
necessary buildings to house the pre-medical,
pre-clinical, and other allied services of the
Faculty of Medicine in association with other
University faculties and facilities.
