| EB & May 5, 1928 = 2 --- WINNETKA TALK HOSPITAL IN EVANSTON FOR SICK COLORED FOLK Plans Moving Forward for In- stitution at Foster - Gray; to Have Medical School A hospital in Evanston to take care of the sick among the colored people of the north shore is soon to be built. With this object in view plans are be- ing pushed forward by the Community Hospital association of Evanston. The new institution also is to provide a medical school where colored doctors and nurses may be trained. Evanston now has about 10,000 colored people in its population. The hospital is to be put up on a 100x170 site at the hr BA iA of Foster street and Gray avenue on property purchased some time ago by the association. : It is stated that there are not more than ten institutions in the whole country approved as fit places for the training of colored internes, and in view of this situation the foundation of the Evanston Hospital association, composed of several of the leading citizens of the university suburb, will have special significance. While the colored people of Evans- ton will be the principal beneficiaries of the institution, it is not proposed to distinguish between persons seeking admittance because of race, religion or nationality. Nor will there be any dis- tinction drawn as to officers, attending physicians or surgeons, internes, nurses or other attendants or em- ployes. Officers of the organization are: Clyde D. Foster, president, who is vice president of the real estate firm of Quinlan & Tyson; Dr. W. L. Noble and Adam P. Perry, vice presidents; Peter N. Jans, secretary; Horace S. Graves, assistant secretary, and Mrs. N. C. Knight. There are fifteen members on the board of directors, of whom eight are white and seven are colored. Those whose terms expire in 1929 are: Clyde D. Foster, W. L. Noble, Jane James, Charles S. Wallace, and William H. Dixon; in 1930, Peter N. Jans, John F. Hahn, Mrs. R. D. Hadley, D. W. Rich- ardson, and Sam J. Cannon; in 1931, Mrs. Martha Twiggs, Mrs. R. P. Downs, Adam P. Perry, Mrs. N. C. Knight and Russell Whitman.
