ical College:
GENTLEMEN-You our Faculty would respect
fully ask that you create q Chair of Clinical
Medicine, and appoint as its occupant {. &.
Cropper, NJ D., who formerly ably filled the
chair of Materia Medica in your College
The Chair of Materia Medica, made vacant
by the resignation of Dr. Owens in 1877, is
an important one, and, in our opinion
should be occupied by physicians of recog-
nzed ability, and who stand high in the
estimation of the profession as true Home
opaths. Fortunately, we are able to secure
W. S. Brayfogle, MD, Of Louisville, and j..
w. Vance, MD, of College Hill. The for
mer is an author on the subject he Will be
called upon to treat, and has National
reputation. Dr. Vance is gentleman OF
high literary merit. As evidence OF their
appreciation of his worth the Trustees OF
the College from which he graduated have
rendered him the same chair that we now
respectfully ask you to offer to him.
The chairs occupied by Drs. Wilson and
Buck have been vacant since February last
made so by their unqualified designations
at that time, which were presented to you
May 9th, 1878, for acceptance. The rae
ulty desire to express their appreciation oI
the ability of these gentlemen as teacher,
and earnest workers of the College. But II
their endeavors to change the status OF the
teaching of the institution they have so tal
forgotten their obligations to brother teach
ers and physicians as to publicly accuse ev
ery member of the Faculty with ungentle
and JicbnpnStV The r0Il rec
they have pursued is receiving the just con
demnation of the profession irrespective o
schools of medicine
In consequence Of their unprofess!ona
conduct and accusations against u.s. we, the
Faculty, are unanimous in the feeling tina
we can not again associate with them unit
they publicly withdraw their causelesS anC
unfounded charges
This thev refuse to do, and we therefore
respectfully ask that you accept their resig
nations, and appoint DR.. Schell to the chai
occupied by DR., Wilson and W. A. Frank
Hin to that held by Dr. Buck DIR. Schell j
) well known oculist Of this city, and ever.
way qualified to fill the position, having re

the best institutions of Europe. He vii
