The faculties. for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professions requirements, Will com.
pare favorably with the most distinguished OF
our country. The medical faculty constitutes
an anomaly in this or any other country-aIl
Of them are able lecturers and the best OF
teachers.
Those who contemplate orr geographical po-
s,tion. and the extent OF our poPuIation, can
have no doubt as to the eligibility Of our STU
tor an enterprise of the Kind. AS to
health, including all seasons Of the year, we
deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
students relative 10 the place Of Studying med
icine; those who intend practicing among the
diseases Of the WRIST ami south should certainly
educate themselves at n school whose facnltyare
practically acquainted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied Of the per-
mnnency Of this school, we feel it our duty to
state, that the Trustees and fncnlty form a unit
in action, which augurs well for its future sue
cess; and that the peculiar organization which
connects them, cannot be interrupted

MEMORIAL s6. a.
To the Senate and House of Representatives. of the
United States in Congress assembled. The memorial
Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 2Sth Of September 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be;
that they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant.
Your memoriaIsts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are mot competent to act for themselves,
whereas many of them are among the most intel
ligen and respectable citizens s OF the States; They

bounty lands assignable, and they viii ever
