    The University of Minnesota hospitals shall be primarily 
 and principally designed for the care of legal residents of 
 Minnesota who are afflicted with a malady, deformity, or ailment 
 of a nature which can probably be remedied by hospital service 
 and treatment and who are unable, financially, to secure such 
 care; or, in case of a minor, whose parent, guardian, trustee, 
 or other person having lawful custody of the minor's person, as

 University of Minnesota hospitals are hereby designated as 
 places of treatment for such persons.

 for such scientific research as will promote the welfare of the 
 patients committed to their care and assist in the application 
 of science to the alleviation of human suffering.
