Loma Linda, Calif., Feb. 18, 1908.

Mrs. E. G. White, Sanitarium, Calif.

Dear Sister:

Under separate cover, you will receive a report of a recent educational council held at Loma Linda, at which the future of the medical school was considered at some length. I wrote the letter and signed it, and sent it to Brother Reaser for his endorsement before forwarding it to you. If he makes no correction, it ought to reach you soon. LLM 353.2

You will notice from our plan that we have in mind to develop the medical school here sufficiently to qualify physicians to practice under recognition of the State. As yet we have but few students who are taking the Medical Course direct. These are in their first year's work, and they as well as we are anxious to know just how far the school will take them, hence we are under the necessity of having the matter settled. If we are going to carry them far enough to be accredited physicians, it will be necessary for us to lay our plans definitely before school opens this fall; and if not, we shall have to arrange for them to connect with some outside school where they can complete their course. LLM 353.3

When you have read the letter that we have sent, if you have any counsel for us, we shall be very glad to receive it, as we do not want to move forward without giving sufficient time for matters to be carefully weighed, and be sure that we are moving in the light of the Lord. LLM 353.4

(Signed) J. A. Burden.
