The history of this celebrated seat of medical learn.
ing is brief and remarkable.
Some years ago, few medical gentlemen of enter
prise and real talent sought establish an institution
honorable alike the city and science They could
not get q charter from New York, because hey we're
better physicians than politicians but they organized
branch in Duane street, and called it Rutgers College,
having a charter from New Jersey confer degrees
The fclat with which this institution began its career
set in motion the politicians connected with its rival in
Barclay street. The latter applied TO the legislature
appealed to the Rogents-be-rated Rutgers College,
and drugged and piled and bled il, that poor Rut-
gers the abest institution known in this city,
struggled few years, and at last ended its days on the

sumptuopsly every day-monopolized medical educa-
tion-till the year 1885, when rival brought into
the city from Indiana, by the celebrated Fire King,

whom blew to atoms one day and revived the next
This great rival is called the Christian College, and
il held its FIRST meeting at DIR. Benefits, no relation of

1888. As organized, il appointed DR.. Chaberi,
322 Broadway, its agent in New York; for the examna
ton Of medical practitioners and the giving of medical
degrees, price $50 each. Since that period the con-
test between the Medical Faculty of Barclay street and
DIR. Chabert has been neck and neck-hp and thigh
The Barclay street contved by the help of the
politicians to put down Rutgers College, but they have
met their match in the Christian College anu Fire King,
and are reduced to the necessity of turning their
anatomical cabinet into cabinet for carriages.
This is the way of the world. The injuries sus-
tanned by DR.. Francis, DR.. Hosack, and DR.. Bush are
now amply lquidated by DIR. Chabert and the Chris
tan College Of Indiana. The Fire King has fought
the good Gght-has amply redeemed his character in
our eyes, and we herewith present him with certi6-
cate tha, he is perfectly alive. At present learn he
intends to purchase the Barclay street College, all
standing. with the exception of the Faculty and their
library. DE hous sb wort good som-but de Faculiee

the issue of this protraced contest The politicians
Albany sided with Barclay street, and put down Rul-
gers College, the only institution of any merit that
ever appeared in New York. The Fire King-ihe i'm

Barclay street bite the dust, and length knocked
them down to the highest bidder.
