Speaking of the lturge number oí medical students wlio have called for their credlts this year, a prominent gentleman of Ann Arbor and one who is a firm fríen of the Univerwity, remarked : "It is too bad thafc a facult.v cao uct selected for the medical departement of this University tliat 0:111 work harmoruously." "To wliat ilo you attrlbute the presemt appareirt dtesattelaetloo amomg Qtfe medical Ktudents," was asked. "To several tMngs," ivas the answ-er.' "Tlie treatnient of Dr. Campbell is one thing.' Ha l has always been very popular wlthi the students, and they claim to have ilearued as much under his instruction as under any professor in the college. I believe it is a mistake on the pa of tbe regenta to allowany one member of the faculty, be he dean er not, to perform the czar act, and turn „out any ome he may .take a dislike lor. It is placing a dangerous power In the hands of one man vho wül care more to gratify lils special likes and dislikes, than he ;wiü to work for th beat interests of the l iuversity. The great penchant doctors have tor disagreeiug wilth ,their brother doctors, makes a dlsastrous failure of many a medical school, and ours has been a brilliant example to the past, vriih ,no very great hopa [bettermemtt in the future. Had a wise courso beon pursued in the medical departnioiu, and , the members of its faculty worked together as they should have .doine, chiere would be orev a thousatid studenta in attendance upon it, instead of a few huudrcd. The coutinual quarrele disgust studemts, and wluen one leaves, ib no't only tabes him away, but keepa others fro-m coming. "Ainother thiug I think ivas . ;i fooiish thiaig to do, and that was to put a doctor upan the Board of Kegents. Although Dr. Kiefer is . ;t good maai, and I like him persoaally, yet I do no-t think tliaif. lio or muy other physician, of any school whatever, ought to bo( p'iaced upon that Board of Regenta. Of course this is only niy opinión, but I flnd in valkIng with otlier people, that I am not alone in thinking eo." This gentleman said much more but this gives aa idea of the trena of hifi thoughts. And what he ha to say is being said by.many ofcheoi wit li gitsatei or less emphasis, ac cording to tlie pereon.
