1949 - Sept 7 - Academy Hospital
    In these days when more adequate public hospital facilities are of vital concern to many localities, it is interesting to note that right here in our own community, the Culver Military Academy, operated by the Culver Educational Foundation, has this summer placed into operation a hospital which has few peers from the viewpoint of practical or fundamental operation. Actually the Academy hospital is a modern Health Center. It is beautiful structure providing every facility to implement the health of its student body.

    It contains the most modern equipment and appointments To the most casual visitor it appears to have been well planned and those who have had a part in its conception and erection deserve hearty congratulations. - Citizen
