THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS Lawrence Office of THE CHANCELLOR April 4, 1944 TO MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY AND STAFF: May I call your careful attention to the enclosed letter from the Secretary-Treasurer of the Board of the Teachers and Employees Association of the University. : This letter is asking for your consider- ation of a proposal for the University group to join the Blue Cross Hospitalization plan. Hospital care of the sort covered by this insurance is one of the great hazards which we all face and which is so dif- ficult to finance in any regular budget. The Blue Cross is a carefully conceived and apparently sound plan to cover this risk. Please give it careful consideration as one means of security for you in a vital area. Sincerely yours, (NE Qe PN Deane W. Malott DWM:h Chancellor
