Date
June 4-22, 1914

Supervisor in Charge Oscar H. Lipps informs the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that The Report of the Joint Congressional Investigating Committee found that a "large percentage" of the student body have trachoma. Lipps requests that the Commissioner sends one of his special trachoma physicians to the school. 

Second Assistant Commissioner C. F. Hauke declines to send a specialist, as he believes that that Dr. Walter Rendtorff, the school's doctor, can treat trachoma.
