The object contemplated to be accomplish
ed by the shove scheme, is eminently snl'
tied to the favor and patronage of the clu'
zens of Baltimore. The establishment Of
Medical College will unquestionably HAYES
beneficial influence on the general literary
character Of our city: on it perhaps maybe
hereafter engrafted the other Colleges, and
thus an university be constituted.
1t will however give us other importan!
advantages-it will promote spirit ctln'
vestigation in the faculty, it will induce
young men of talents to establish themselVss
in our city, and thereby permanently secure
to this community the best aid that canbe
afforded by the medical profession II may
also be proper to remark. that if this school
should prosper, as is anticipated, it will
cause large sums to be expended annually
in this city, which would otherwise be dis
bursed in other places
We presume that those gentlemen who
are anxious for the advancement OF the IN
terests of Baltimore, will give us their sup
port on the above considerations.
TO those who are inclined to proht them
selves at the s me time that they encoura6e.
