Dr. Klingman Has Resigned

DR. KLINGMAN HAS RESIGNED

HIS POSITION AS STATE ASYLUM PATHOLOGIST

It is Proposed to Establish a Central Bureau With a Specialist in Charge

A meeting of the joint board of trustees of the Michigan asylums was held at Pontiac Thursday.

A paper read by Dr. J. D. Munson, of Traverse City, entitled "Research Work in the Asylums," furnished the principal topic for discussion. It appears that Dr. Theo. Klingman, assistant to Dr. W. D. Herdman, of the University of Michigan, has resigned as state pathologist, and the general subject of pathology was discussed. Each institution has a pathologist who conducts original researches into the causes of insanity, performing postmortem exarninations upon each patient who dies in the asylum, examining the brain and other vital organs, in an effort to trace the cause. All available information is gathered and the work of the pathologists has been sent to Dr. Klingman for review. It is proposed to establlsh a central bureau or state departrnent, with a speciallst in charge, where the information, statistics, etc., gleaned at the different asylums, as well as a library, shall be collected. Gov. A. T. Bliss, who was present at the meeting, indorsed the scheme in a short speech.
