THE MEDICs REINsrATED.
They Appear to Have Won a
Victory Over Dean Willard.

lney appear TO nave WON u
Victory Over Dean Willard.
The senior class of the medical de-
partment at 1870 yesterday afternoon
filed into the Medical building, and up
to the amphitheater, where Dean Mill
ard appeared few minutes later and
made the following curt address:
81 am happy to say that the suspen-
sion OF the senior class has been in
definitely postponed by the faculty. In
future investigations in regard to this
matter. it matters not what action you
may take rs individuals, or as class.
You are in delicate position. We
realize that yOn are memOerS or the
senior class. and that in few months
you Will finish your course here. ]
speak for myself and the faculty when
| say that no action, either by one, or
all Of yOu. Will have any hearing i'll
reference to your intellectual fitness for
receiving the degree Of Nj. D."
The dean then Immediately took up
his lectures where they had been left
off last week.
The suspension was withdrawn as the
result OF a meeting held yesterday
morning between the executive COM
mittee of the medical department. Pres
ident Northrop being present, and the
committee OF the senior class. The
faculty really acknowledged the in
justice or the SUSPENSION. The report
that Dean Willard had required an
apology was incorrect The seniors
were merely suspended, nor did they
make an apology when reinStated. The
class claim that they have been victims
of injustice. w hen the president Of
tho ri OIL nfbat hnan
Willard gave for the suspension. he re-
piled that he gave none. The now
famous resolutions of the senior class
! calling for an investigation of the man
agement of the medical department are
not done with yet, however. The senior
class Will next Monday night present
its case in the ampnitheater before the
faculty, and probably some OF the re-
gents.
President Northrop gives this version
of the difhculty:
1.-The facts in reference 10 the trouble
in the medical department are in brief
these: The senior class presented a
paper containing Sundry complaints to
the executive committee Of the board OF
regents, but subsequently withdrew the
paper and presented it instead 10 the
executive committee of the medical col
lCSC Ilc GLASS; SuppOSS(l llldl JllVy
received assurance that the president OF
the university would be present when
the matter was considered, and trey
further supposed that he was a member
OF the executive committee of the medi-
cal college. He is not member OF that
committee, and when the matter came
up for consideration he was not present,
and the committee of the class there
upon declined to submit the matter
10 the action of the executive
committee of the medical department.
ThereupOn the executive committee
suspended the students who had signed
the original paper and who now refused
to acknowledge the authority of the cX-
ecutiYe committee. Monday morning
the president met the executive COM
mittee, and subsequently met the com
mittee of the class. He believes that
the whole matter will be adjusted with
out serious trouble; that the authority
of the executive committee of the med
zeal department will be maintained, and
that all just complaints will be fairly
considered, and the evils complained of
will be remedied."
The opinion is very prevalent among
the ''medicS" that the trouble will be
smOOthed over for the present, but that
the final act in the drama will be the
resignation of Willard at the end of the
year.
