Wants A New Hospital

WANTS A NEW HOSPITAL

THE COURIER WOULD BUILD A HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL

And Turn the Present Hospital of That School Over to the Allopaths and Thus Create More Room.

The Ann Arbor Courier, in its issue this week proposes the following solution for the overcrowded condition of the University hospitals:

The old school hospital is so crowded and cramped for room that some measures for enlarging will have to be made to give it a chance to take care of tho patients. It has been suggested that they be given the homeopathic building, and the legislature be asked to put up a new hospital for that school. 

If that is done it should be on the street car lines, for the convenience of patients, students and professors. It should also be near the campus to get the benefit of the heating and lighting plants, also of the sewers.

As there are many homeopathists of means in Michigan, and as they are now in touch with the university, they might be made interested in the project of giving their school better facilities, and might furnish the ground by subscription, on condition that the state shall make appropriation for a fine hospital. We have a strong alumni association now composed of all the alumni of the U. of M., which might use its organization to bring about the purchase of the land for the university under the above conditions.

Now as Ann Arbor has never had any free beds in the hospital this would be a chance to get five, which we should have. And we are sure our city authorities will see to it.

Our city could then help along the purchase of the desired land. It would be a wise move for the city, for the university, for both the new and old schools.
