The Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium

By A. T. ROBINSON

MANY of the readers of the REVIEW are more or less familiar with the somewhat checkered history of the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium. After a hard struggle concerning the question relative to ownership, the Colorado Medical Missionary Association was formed, on such a plan that for many years the sanitarium, figuratively speaking, has been without parentage. Neither the General Conference, the Central Union Conference, nor the Colorado Conference has had any official jurisdiction over the work of this institution, its constituency being made up of the General Conference Committee, the Central Union Conference Committee, the Colorado Conference Committee, and the local sanitarium board.

At the General Conference Council held in Washington, D. C., in May of the present year, it was voted to recommend the reorganization of the Colorado Medical Missionary Association so as to make the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium a Central Union Conference institution. A meeting of the constituency for this purpose was held in Boulder, July 18-20, when such a reorganization was effected. The constituency of the new corporation is composed of the membership of the Central Union Conference, its voting constituency being the delegates at the sessions of the said conference. The management and control of the new corporation are vested in a board of seven directors, their successors to be elected at the biennial session of the Central Union Conference. A board of counselors is provided for, composed of the president of the Central Union Conference, the presidents of the conferences in the Central Union, the union conference medical secretary, and the auditor. The local board, to hold office during the remainder of the present biennial term, is as follows: A. T. Robinson, president; Dr. L. L. Jones, vice-president; Meade MacGuire, secretary-treasurer; E. T. Russell, Chas. Rice, J. G. Weller, C. R. Kite.

The utmost harmony prevailed at this meeting. The sanitarium is enjoying a good patronage, its cash receipts for the first six months of this year having been nearly two thousand dollars over those of the preceding year. The Lord has spoken good concerning the Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium. The board of directors enters upon its duties with the sincere desire that it may have the heartfelt sympathy and co-operation of all our people in the Central Union Conference. A. T. ROBINSON.
