The American Lancet, a well-known medical journal published in Detroit, has in its Maren r.utnber editorial references to Dis. Lyster and Gibbes, late acquisitionsto the University, and theyare given below. The parta in italics are very significant, to say the least. The journal is edited by Dr. Leartui Connor, an t.fluential Detroit physician. These references to the removhl of the Medical department to Detroit are evidently planned to accustom the people to the idea of the change, and indícate a purpose in certain quarters to make the removal if possible. This ia the first decided utterance the Lancet has made on this question. It would seem that the scheaiers for a ch&nen ar nnw somewhat confident, and are going to push affairs : "Dr. Henry F. Lyater has been appointed to fill the chair n the Medical department of the University of Michigan, vacated by the late A. B. Palmer. From the accounts it would seem as if he would still retain his residenee and practice in Detroit. This is the nexl best thing to the removal of the Medical department to Detroit. When the majority of the teacher become residente of Detroit, then it will he easy to transfer the medical schooh here. So at least it would seem to an outside observer. At present Dr. Lyster occupies the chair of Practice of Medicine in the Detroit College of Medicine. He has been a member of the Michigan State Board of Health since its organization. He once ocoupied the chair of Surgery in the University of Michigan, following the late Wm. Warren Green. He was one of the founders and holders m the Michigan College of Medicine. He is largely interested in life insurance, is a club man, strong Episcopalian a flrst-cla88 after dinner speaker, and good fellow in many ways." "Dr. Heneage Gibbes, the new profersor of pathology in the University of Michigan, has already begun his work. He is recorded as ore of the formost bacteriologists of the time. We cordially extend greeting to this addition to the scinatific meraberg of the profesaion of Michigan. We regret that he could not come to Detroit. Why can it not be made plain to every one that the interests of allparties would be greally enhanced by the speedy removal of the medical portion of the University to Detroit ? Perhaps the coming of Dr. Gibbes will hasten the inevitable change."
