Medical College.


Wing Of the sth, suggests plan for settling the difficult
les between the Trustees of the Institute and Medical
Faculty. lie says "let the Medical College its own
BOAT BY this suppose, he that its entire man
cement should be placed in the hands Of its Faculty II
his the policy he recommeud- then let it be applied TO
Ill public institutions, and especially, such in
hem an investment of public funds. Let the Board of Re
cents he dismissed from the University ard the Trustees
from all Colleges. The Faculties OF these Institutions
are a capable that Of the Medical Department of 5
College.
Of public improvement DC dismissed the Executive officers
these institutions very capable OF mansGgE them
q ihen are required to give heavy hoods aud
security for the faithful performance oftheir 0ut6s.
But need not argue seriously against the im,aicy r
such policy. But your correspondent INDUCES IN some
apieni suggestions TO how Board Trustees should
bc ccmpose-lct IL he forbidden by its charter to have
any time any two members nearly related Sc
cond cousins" Lastly, "!et the Trustees OF H. : College
practice from the above hint &c.
Now Mr. Editor, tie evident design Of this writer
TO create impression that tie Board Of Trustees is
composed Of a imily clque-I have information on
th- subject which may be relied on.
The Board i composed OF - members scattered over
that portion OF the State living between is northern and
Southern boundaries and the Selboard and Blue
the whole number ooly three have drop OF common
blood these threc nO: nearer OF kin than second cos
lbs and Of these three kn>man only one has attended
any the late meetings Of the Board Now with the u
formation before the Pubc what becomes Of the insuua
Of youg correspondent hattie Board has been biased
by such considerations.
] am authorised TO assure the public that Dr. Wilson
has but kusmln in the Board of Trustees one 4 Sc.
cond cousn the other more remote Of these only one
voted for him Ia Jane last the other voting against him
But correspondent probably did know that the
Faculty OF the College az the last meeting on toe 18th
August retraced all similar charges which they hal made
against the Board, individually and .oiscfissiy.
II your correspondent really apprehends thar there Is
danger Of hyoritsm would ask il there not as much
danger with the appointments in the hands of the sir
mrnhors Of the Faculty a. with % Trustees dispersed
through Eastern Virginia.
Bur why has the Board Of Trustees been summoned be.
fore the bar OF public opinion:
Ia June last this body elected Dr. Wilsoa Profess
sorship in the Medicsl department. Of Hampton Sidney
Coiege-accordng to President Grecu account Of the
Overwhelming testimonials Edjuccd Of hi- fitness for
the pace-the College Faculty having nominated another
gentleman demonstrated against tue election Of Dr. VIII
son.
The Picard Of Trustees met again on the aith August
the instance Of the College Faculty Their remon.
heard their argued by learned and eo
quent counsel THe fIrcs and fullest opportunity vas
given Tor the presentation Of their cause ct the Board
confirmed their previous acton without dissenting voice
They declared that the power Of appointing Professors
had always been ye-tei solely in the Board that they
had alSays treated with great respect the recomnebdi
lions Of Faculty but that they would receive nOnua
tons from other individuals and medical associations
Il seems TO the writer that this action Of the Board
oggh, gain Tor that body the confIerce of the public
and especially tie medical public. Il the evident Ic.
ign Of the Trustees 10 give themselves the wdy.t rargc
Of selection They wish 70 eouduc, the school for the
