Nashville union and dispatch. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1866-1868, 1867-08-08
Washington University, Baltimore,
Maryland.


We call attention to the advertisement of
the Medical Department of this Institu-
ton, published in this mornings issue. 1t
has Just been recognized with faculty of
remarkable merit, consisting of men from
the Southern States of the Union, all of
whom became favorably known during the
late war. Our own city is possessed of
medical institution which owns no superior,
and which deserves the largest share of
Southern patronage; but yet we find that
every year the colleges of New York and
Philadelphia are crowded with young men
from our own State and those south of us,
who seem TO think that nothing in the way
of instruction is good except in the North.
To such as are of this way of thinking,
and who are now on the lookout for cities
to remove to, We would cay, 60 TO Balti-
more, and learn your profession from the
men at the Washington University-men
who have sympathized with you and strug-
gied with you during the dark years of
war, and who are fully competent to instruct
you in the arts of peace. The tide of med
ical studcnts is still setting northward, and
their object is to arrest it at Baltimore.
They are all experienced teachers from
OOubllCiIl bClOOib9 anu nave ntl6u NpOuNt-
bic places in the Confederate medical estab-
lishments. DR.. A. j. Foard, the Dean
and Professor of Anatomy was Surgeon
and Medical Director of the army of the
West in the old United States army, and
during the war Medical Director of the
army successfully commanded by Generals
Sydney johnson, Beauregard, Bragg,
Hood, and Joseph Z. Johnston. His off,
cial energy and charming personal attrac-
tons will be fondly recalled by all who
had the pleasure of being associated with
him. DIR. j. P. Logan, formerly of the
Atlanta Medical College, and Surgeon in
charge of the Atlanta hospitals, is favora-
bly, known to the profession for his thor
ough and conscientious discharge of duty,
and his able editorship of the Atlanta
Medical Journal, as well as for his connec-
ton with the Medical Society of Georgia.
DR.. II. L. Byrd was professor in the Ogle-
thorpe Medical College of Savannah, editor
of its Medical Journal, and a distinguished
surgeon, c. S. A. DIR. M. Scott was also
prominent Confederate States Surgeon, and
before the war professor in the Richmond
Medical College. DIR. Norman is known
to many of our citizens as having been
long the physician at White Sulphur
Springs, Virginia, and the author of
famous work on Mineral SPRING." He
was formerly professor in Roanoke Col
lege. Dr. Monmonier is one of the oldest
and most respected physicians of Balti-
more, and an experienced teacher. DIR. Z.
Warren was Surgeon General of North
Carolina, is author of work on Surgery,
and one of the Fiske Fund Prize Essays
is well known to the profession as a jour
nalist, and was Medical Director of the
army Of Northern Virginia. DIR. Morft
is a chemist of worldwide reputation, and
in that capacity served the Confederate
States faithfully in her Laboratories. DIR.
Clagett had charge for a long time of the
Reserve hospitals of the army of Northern
Virginia, where his devoted attention to
the sick gained him many friends.
With such faculty, and the excellent
appliances for instruction which they have
procured, the College cannot be other than
a success. The student from the South
will be here among friends, and surround
ed by advantages unsurpassed by PhiIadel-
phia in her palmiest days, SO that the mo-
nopoly enjoyed by the latter city will have
blow struck which it cannot fail TO feel.
Additional inducements in the way of
Tightening expenses are held out 10
wouRded soldiers.
