Homoeopathic Tangle

The Board of Regents held its July meeting at the Russell House in Detroit last Thursday. A full board was present except regent Keifer who is in Eui'ope. Another effort to induce Dr. O. R. Long, of Ionia, to accept the deanship of the homoeopathic college, was made but without avail. Dr. was in Detroit, but it is stated ttiat he flatly refused the place even though the regents offered him $3,000 per year. The doctor is medical superintendent of the Ionia Asyluin for Insane Crimináis and made the excuse that he was especially interested in this line of work and does not wish to give it up. Some of the doctor 's friends, however, hint that this is not so much the reason as is pretended, that the doctor does not like ;he situation of thing-s homoeopathicaliy considered, and prefers to hold on to a surething rather than to risk coming nere and being led into some sort oí a rumpus and then havinghis resignation called for. The regents will not have another until September. The board made the following appointments of special lecturers for the department of lw: Constitutional history, advanced course, Andrew C.
