AMA President Visits
Loma Linda University
The man who will soon head
the worlds physicians spoke to
a class of freshmen at the Uni
versity's School of Medicine last
week. " I welcome you to the
profession,'* Dr. Edward R..
Annis said to the first- year
medical students.
The American Medical Associa
tion president, who will become
president of the World Medical
Association in October, told the
students that they represent well
the 69,000 medical students in
the United States.
Students Rate High
The vigorous AM A president ex
pressed the same thoughts in a
news conference earlier during
his visit here. He stated that
the quality of todays' students
is higher than ever before. As
for Loma Linda University, the
AMA President admitted that a
private university such as this
has much to offer in preference
to public schools.
High Medical Costs
Among the questions that Dr.
Annis was confronted with was
that of medical cost. He agreed
that " cost of jet age medical
care is high" but that it is
worth it.
" No amount of money could
buy today's medical service ten
or twenty years ago" the spokes
man for America's phsycians
said as he reminded the reporters

Dayton, Ohio Loma Linda
University Trustees last week
extended an invitation to South
ern California and Pacific Union
conferences to consider op
erating White Memorial Hospital
on a long term lease. In this
action the Trustees laid down
broad guide lines to be used by
a representative committee
which will begin its study early
in October, President Godfrey
T. Anderson said this week.
The President stated that the
committee will be composed of
members representing the Gen
eral Conference, the Pacific
Union Conference and the South
ern California Conference,
as well as the University.
To Safeguard Education
Program at the ' White 1
In commenting about the
board's decision, President
Anderson expressed confidence
that " any change in the operation
of White Memorial Hospital would
safeguard the continuance of ed
ucational programs which have
been dependent on the facilities
of this hospital."
Dean David B. Hinshaw of the
School of Medicine stated that
the faculty members are con
fident that this is a step in the
right direction.
The special meeting of the
Trustees was called because the
committee named at the August
23 board meeting was unable to
carry out its assignment with
out further board direction. Day
ton was chosen because most of
the Trustees were there for a
meeting of conference presi
dents.
First Meeting Set for
October 10
The first meeting of the joint
committee has been scheduled
for October 10, Dr. Anderson
said.
The President in a further
comment said that " the White
Memorial Hospital is a fine
hospital with some wonderful
teaching facilities which we can
not afford to lose."
He added that " it is most
desirable that the White Mem
orial Hospital continues to play
a significant role in the Uni
versity after the consolidation
program has been completed."
The consolidation of the Loma
Linda University School of Medi
cine includes plans for a
$ 15,000,000 medical center on
the Loma Linda campus. This
will be a teaching and research
hospital with facilities for Uni
versity students in several
disciplines.
The long range building pro
gram on the Loma Linda campus
includes other buildings and
facilities. University officials
revealed for instance that park
ing area will be provided
for 12,000 automobiles near the
medical center.
1049 STUDENTS
REGISTER HERE
University Registrar Herbert
A. Walls Jr. said 1049 students
had registered by Wednesday this
week.
