he thought II but act of sheer Justice 10 give Ia
their petition patent examination adopt i, If
rghl-reject II if wrong To refuse TO cons der the
application, by laying il on the table, and thus
passing 1t in silence by, was not the course ,b,t
should be pursued, the course which the Senate
should adopt. He did not presume il could orcu-
py much time. They merely asked TO be iucor
porated, with the view TO the forming a colIere
where medical lectures should be delivered AMI
diplomas conferred. The only objection he Ia;
heard OF, was, that the Columbian College already
had Medical Proiessorship attached 10 il. Tbis

MI Noble was sure that the bill yould n eor-
