Richmond, Milton TRUSTEES' REPORT To the Corporation, His Excellency the Governor, the Legislature and the Department of Mental Diseases: The Trustees have the honor to present their annual report for the year ending November 30th, 1937. The enrollment at the school now numbers 2,106 patients. The exact number in residence, however, on November 30th, 1937, deducting those absent from the school on a visit home or for other reasons was 1,982, of whom 1,665 were at Waverley and 317 at Templeton Colony. The comparable figures of a year ago were 2,046; 1,907; 1,604 and 303, showing increases of 60, 75, 61 and 14. Further details of enrollment are shown in the Superintendent's report submitted herewith. Last year the over-crowding was estimated at about 25 %. This year it is estimated at 24% on the average population and 28.7% on the actual resident population on November 30, 1937. Mrs. Ray B. Jacobs was appointed by Governor Curley a member of the Board of Trustees, succeeding Mr. Moses H. Gulesian. Dr. Theodore Chamberlin pre- sented his resignation to the Governor. His place on the Board of Trustees has not yet been filled. Mrs. Alice Tilton Damrell, Miss Mary Lee Ware and Mrs. Elizabeth B. Perkins, members of the Corporation, have died. Professor T. N. Carver and Mrs. Carver have resigned from the Corporation because of change of residence to California. Dr. Fred V. Dowling has been promoted to the position of Senior Physician, made vacant by the illness and retirement of Dr. Edith E. Woodill. Dr. Woodill died on February 27, 1937. The school in her death has lost the services of a valuable member of the staff who long preformed her duties with conscientious faithfulness. The vacancy on the staff created by Dr. Dowling's promotion was filled by the appointment of Dr. Constance G. Hartwell on March 1, 1937. Dr. Lawrence P. Bowser was appointed October 28, 1936, as an additional junior physician. 4 P.D. 28 In July, the board held its first meeting in the New Administration Building. The old administration building has been named Waverly Hall and is now used for employees' quarters. There still remain a number of items of special appropriation to complete the institution capacity to two thousand beds at Waverley. In the annual reports from 1930 to 1936, the item for a Water Supply for Temple- ton Colony has appeared thirteen times. At the last meeting of the Trustees on October 14, 1937, the trustees endorsed unanimously the following statement: — "The Board again takes note of the inadequate supply of water at the Templeton Colony and again records its conviction that measures should at once be taken to assure an adequate supply of water with sufficient apparatus for conveyance to all necessary points to assure cleanliness and fire protection." This matter was recently mentioned at a Meeting of Trustees, the Commissioner and the Governor's Special Commission. Some action may result. The need for water at Templeton Colony is the most urgent among the school's present re- quirements. One or more of the Trustees have attended the semi-annual meetings of the Trustees of State Hospitals with the Commissioner of the Department of Mental diseases. The quarterly meetings of the Trustees have been attended by more than two- thirds of the Board of Trustees. A majority of those in attendance have been representatives of the Corporation rather than appointees of the Governor. The trustees have noted with grave concern the rising costs of administration as reflected by the budget requests for the coming year. These requests show a main- tenance increase of about $100,000 and a salary increase of about $30,000. The salary increase is a result of the passage of recent laws by the Legislature shortening hours and increasing personnel. This increased burden on the tax-paying residents of the State is beyond the control of the Trustees or the Superintendent of the School. The trustees have also noted with great regret the increasing burden of admin- istration that has fallen upon the Superintendent subsequent to the increasing interference through political channels with the administration of the Department of Mental Diseases. It is hoped that the Governor's Special Commission will be able to recommend, and succeed in obtaining, action that will tend sharply to eliminate the disastrous admixture of politics and public health, and raise the standard of care of the Com- monwealth's mentally ill, to even higher levels than in times past. Donald Gregg, M.D., Secretary. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT To the Trustees of the Walter E.
