Many important reasons existwhy the Homeopathie College should not be earted off to Detroit. The main reason to the state is that it would there become purely a little local affair used by a few doctors for tlieir personal enda for advertising purposes. With 110 one to give it a supervisory administration it would degenerate to a side show on a back street. lts separate maintenance would make it doubly expensive to the state and always unsatisfactory. The only reason the movemeut was started tor wasbecause the homeopathie doctors iad been fighting so among theinselves that the school had run down. But nothing goes to show there would be greater harmony it" they were in Detroit. On the contrary, the past bas shown more petty jealous bickerings and littleboy fights in Detroit than in Anu Arbor among the members of the medical protession. It is not believable that the people of the state want their great University divided up into little one-horse colleges scattered here and there, while the tendency of the times is tremendously towards centralization. Ann Arbor bas strong rights in this question by reason of her liberal gifts to the University in the past. She bas given in cash the following amounts : To the oíd medical building $10.000 ■ law building 5,000 " ■ oíd hospital 4,0(10 " " observator) 4,000 " " new hospitals 25,000 $18,000 Besides this princely suin, two of Ann Arbor's citizens gave the $20,000 BealSteere collection in the Museum, collected by iive years' hard and dangerous research by Prof. J. B. Steere in South America and among the " Head hunters " of Formosa, all the expenses of the trip having been paid by Rice A. Beal. With these and many other gifts such as the donation of the land for the campus, Ann Arbor and her citizens have enriched the state by one huudred thousand dollars. Therefore we have a claim upon retaining the University as a whole, not a divided portion. In another way its removal will be illegal because by the constitution the bill for the removal of the Homeopathie college was dead before the Governor signed it, since it had been passëd mure than five days before the adjournment of the Legislature. Often one has to flght for his rights. This is one of the times, and we believe the board of regents will serve the interest of the state and of the city, while looking after those of the University by standing up against its dismemberment.
