A STUDENT IN TROUBLE
Refused Admission to St. Paul Hos
pital Clinics for Alleged At
tempt to Defraud.

A student of the state university was
recently refused admission to the class
receiving clinical instruction at the st.
Paul city hospital because of his alleged
attempt to defraud the hospital authori-
ties. It is said. that, after entering The
class room, he threw out of the window
his admission ticket, for which he had
paid an annual fee Of 49, The ticket was
then presented at the door by another stu
dent who had paid no fee. ~
This proceeding was partly the outcome
OF dissatisfaction felt by the students be-
cause of the hospitals fixing charge for
admission. Until the present year the st.
Paul clinics were free. The students dis
content is shared by some Of the profess
sors at the university. t-z'
In explanation Of the fee rule N. T.
Langford of st. Paul, member Of the
board of control which supervises the city
hospital, said yesterday: - o. .'sN.
The, univ ersity possesses no rights at
all In the matter of clinics. The privilege
of giving clinical instruction at the hos
pital is extended to medical colleges not
as right, but as a courtesy only There
are many Objectionable features connect
ed with clinical instruction in our hos
p1tal, especially in our ward clinics, and
looking solely to the interests Of the hos
pital, it Is probable that the advantages
and disadvantages nearly balance each
other. Other hospitals where no clinics
are allowed experience no difficulty in
securing a competent staff of physicians
and surgeons. Men Of excellent profess
sional standing frequently apply for posi-
tons on our staff. If we discontinued the
university clinics, the efficiency OF the
hospital would not be impaired. The fee
we charge students is barely sufficient to
pay the cost Of maintaining the audi
torium,' where the clinics are held. We
charge So a year, although SIS is the aver
age fee required by the principal hospitals
Of the country. We wrote to twenty six
Of them before establishing our fee. Some
Of the hospitals charge s12 a, year.
IF any student thinks that So year Is
too heavy a charge for the instruction he
receives through our clinics, we are ready
to refund his fee.' -. ,.
