BowpoIN COLLEGE, August 10, 1868.
At the last meeting of the Trustees and
Oyerseers of Bowdoin College paper was
presented, signed by the Professors of the
Medical School of Maine, requesting the re-
moval of the school to Portland. This re-
quest was made for the purpose of securing
greater thoroughness and completeness OF
medical education, which the removal is
expected, for the following reasons in brief
to secure:
l. By giving opportunity for greater
amount and variety OF clinical instruction.
2. 1t is indispensable to the best medical
education that the Professors of Theory and
Practice, OF Surgery, and of Obstetrics be
themselves practitioners. But men OF suffl-
cient emlnence worthily totill these professor
ships cannot well leave their practice to go
abroad and give instruction during part OF
every year; and il they do so, are obliged 10
abridge their term of instruction and to en-
gage in it with divided interest. 1t NAV be
expected that in large city part or all o.
these professorships may be filled by resident
physicians, or by eminent practitioners elect
ed to the chair who will find in the practice O
city inducements to become residents.

"A French paper speaking OF eleventh.
hour conversions mentions the case of the Gel
ebrated Bohemian. Guichardet, who, on his
death bed kept murmuring something OF which
only the first syllable, "dos- obs" could
be distinguished. His sister ran for the priest
and said her brother wanted dissolution, while
the physician by his side knew that he was
calling for dbsinthe.
