Will It Go To Detroit?

The following coramunication has been handed to the Courier by a prominent business man of this place, a nian who is foremost in movements looliing to the prosperity of the city and its institutions. Whether the criticism be deserved or not our readers may judge. Am Aiusor, July22, 1895. Mr. Editor: Saturday evening's Detroit Journal says the Board of Regents called Dr. Long into tlieir meeting as he happened to be in Detroit and urged him strongly to pccept the Deanship of the Homeopathie Department, offering him the inducement of allowing him to reside in Detroit. This shows which way the wind is blowing and if Ann Arbor is to lose that department it strikes the writer we might as well know it, and the sooner the matter is tested in the Courts the söoner we shall be able to know where we stand. Certainly the Department will never be made a success in Ann Arbor if presided over by a physician residing in Detroit, who is committed before acceptingthe position to its ultímate removal. Dr. Long has been urged by the Homeops of the state to accept the position conditional on its ultímate removal, and if he does so, either willingly or on the solicitation of the regents with this knowledge at their command, he will not be the man to make it a success here- certainly not if they irc.ak over their rule and allow him to reside in Detroit. If the Kegents really made him this offer it would seem to be the first apparent lack of candor in their official treatment of this subject. Respectfully, Ann Arbor.
