edition of the present week:
The recent action on the part of the medi-
cal faculty recalls the deep chagrin which
from time to time the entire university has
been made to feel over the actions of that
body. In the past seven years they have been
involved in quarrels among themselves which
have brought about reorganization of the en-
tire department, and placed the warning mem
bers in an unsavory light before the public.
When 1t comes to suspending an entire class,
every one knows it is only a gigantic bluff
and the discipline founded such empty
threats is vain. Such an affair could not
have occurred in any other department of
the institution. There Is among the students
of that department a spirit of unruly antago-
nism that one is surprised to find outside of
boarding school, but it is spirit undoubtedly
fostered by such miscarriages of discipline.
We wish the honorable faculty of the medical
department would remember that they are
part of a great university and that their ac-
tons throw either credit or discredit upon the
entire institution.
