Brooklyn, N.Y., May 9th, 1905.
Hon. Timothy L. Woodruff,
339 Broadway,
New York City.
My dear Woodruff:-
Please note that the meetings of the Board are now held, in accordance with the last vote, upon the evening of the fourth Monday in each month. This will place the next meeting of the Board on May 22nd, and not May 29th, as you supposed. I hope that you will surely be present at that meeting. Matters of considerable importance are sure to be discussed.
Mr. Grout told me the other day that he had sent a copy of his letter about the proposed plans for higher education in Brooklyn, to you. He expects that the different Boards of Trustees of the institutions to whom he sent that letter, will appoint committees to consider it. I find that the Trustees of the Polytechnic Institute, the Hoagland Laboratory, and the Polhemus Clinic, have all received this letter from Mr. Grout, and have all appointed committees to consider it. Mr. Nichols - the President of the Poly. Board - is the President of the committee for that institution, and he is now planning with Dr. Raymond to ask for a conference between the committees of these institutions who have received Mr. Grout's letter.
