GESTLEMES My attention has been callt to an
article in The December number Of your journal, In
regard to the al eHndem degree granted by the
Philadelphia College of Medicine to Dr. L. J. Cap
kay. When the application for the degree was made
to the Faculty, it tcnmpauied by AfidavitS and
testimonials TO the effect that Or. CIapkHy was n
regular graduate N. d. OF the University OF Pesth,
had served as Surgeon in the Hungarian army, and
Wss = regular practitioner OF medicine. On the
strength Of these, the degree was granted. The dd
eundem degree, as its name implies, Is conferred on
graduates only. and gives privileges. Had
there been the slightest suspicion Of rregularty, the
applica would have been refused. By inserting
this in your Journal you will do act Of justice 70
the College, and confer n favor
You're, very respectfully, II. RAND,
