The University Surgical Clinique Broken
Up:--The Medical Revolution LA oil ITS
Glory.
Yesterday at the usual hour, about three hundred
Stu ienls and Medical men assembled at the Stuy-
vesant lus'itute. 10 see whether the Faculty would
exclude thu public press; and along with them some
two or three score Of the halt the MANNED and the
blind who had come from the dim lanes and alleys
OF the city TO seek the aid of benevolent skill. But
the molly crowd was completely disappointed. The
doors oil The cinique were closed DR.. Mott had re-
fused to attend because the Editor of the Lancet
was expected to be there toreport the proceedings
80 the cnpples and the crooked, the cross-eyd and
the tongue-tied had to go their ways, TO seek some
other Berthesda little dreaming that their grevous
bodily inirmites far more easily got rid of Than
the corrupting moral diseases and laundering agen-
cies otev that had thus turned the poor sufferers
away without sympathy or succor. And the stu
dents too, dispersed, mu'terng sundry vigorous ex-
pressions, mot loud but deep" and wondering
where all this was to end. And the physicians who
had come to see the spert, looked wise, and shook
their heads as they stepped into their carriages and
drove hurriedy off, they were fleeing from the
grasp OF dun, the reproachful eyes Of some poor
devil ola patient whom they had reduced to the
last extremity. ''Has Dr.. Mott resigned!" asked
one. "The school is exploded" exclaimed another.
'Pll 90 home" sighed third. "Come to us ~
said grinnng fellow from Crosby street, 're still
keep open doors ~ 'They can't put down the
Lancet" remarked portly looking gentleman in
black, sold Abernethy tried that game in Lenden,
but he was soon taught better sense" 'Let us go
down and subscribe to the Lancet" exclaimed half
dozen in one breath.
So, the Faculty seem bent on ruin. IT'S pity.
We are sorry that they have taken this step. The
clinque does great deal for them 1t was the great
inducement which brought many Of the students.
1t was also of immense value to the afflicted poor Of
the city. But the interests Of the school-the I'M
provement OF the Students and more Intelligent
and gen,lemanly body Of young men was never co.,
lected, we understand, withia the walls of any Col
lege-,he relief of the afflicted sons and daughters
OF poverty and INTERCHANGEABLE good opinion of
an enlightened and discerning public-a must be
sacrificed to Individual caprice!
1t is greatly to be deplored that this institution,
which was generally regarded as founded on the
most liberal and equitable principles, should turn out
to be 50 lberal and unjust The Crosby street
school would seem to be awakening their energies,
and preparing to enter on different course from
that unfortunately now pursued by their new rival
they have opened surgical clinque, and instead of
throwing obstacles in the way of the editor of the
Lancet they offer him every facity,as the conductor
OF popular and independent medical journal
BY the bye, we may add that there are some curl
GUS pieces of history connected with the exploded
cnqHe, which we intend giving TO the public, part
and parcel Of the chronicles of this latter day Of
light and liberty, revolutions and explosions
