mensely Popular,

The members Of ti1a first anatomy
class of the University coilese OF Msdi-.
cine are greatly wrought up.
Threats are heard that If the names 81
the offending fellow-members are learn
ed, they will run them out OF college, IL
it lay in their power to do So.
Their loyalty to DR.. E. c. Fisher, 1ne
structor in anatomy. is the source OF.
their Indignation. DR.. Fisher was re-
ported to DR.. James w. Henson. the head
professor Of anatomy. as having recent
ly given an examination that was too
easy and showing favoritism to the exc
tent of putting some through who did
not deserve it. because they were per-
sonal friends Of his. The end Is yet to
come and tomorrow interesting develop
ments are expected.
VERY INTERESTING DETAILS.
Such, in brief, is the story, but this
details are exceedingly interesting.
The examinations in anatomy began last
Monday week. They continued during
that week. Since. that time, or. more az
curately, since the early part OF last
week. members of the first year class in
anatomy have felt that something, M
teresting was in tl1O air. Little rumors
began to drift in here and there and the
members of the class would often get
into punches and talk earnestly In low
tones. Heads were shaken knowingly.
But that was all
Yesterday morning it all came out and
DR. Fisher himself was the spokesman.
DR.. Fisher is we'll known in Richmond.
He was but latel: one of the City 5tioS-
pital surgeons During his. service in thai
ca pacity all who met him found him TO
be a modest gentleman of the highest
type and his skill as a practitioner was
the subject of fattering comment.
Yesterday morning he did what all his
acauaintances knew him to be eapaEte
of-acting the man.
At the conclusion of the lecture. Dr.
Fisher stated to the class that several.
members had gone to DR.. Henson since
the late examinations and had informed
the head professor that his examinatio
was very easy. too easy. to cover the
rast work properly. and furthermore
that their teacher. DR.. Fisher, had shown
favortism, passing on the ground or
friendship several who did not deserve
the distinction. DR.. Fisher was en-
phatic to the last degree in denying tho
latter charge. He declared that the men
Tho told DR.. Henson that told what was
not true. He called on the author OF the
report to stand up and own up to it
He said they would If they were men,
Regarding the first charge. he said he
had given a fair examination. He was
conscientious in this and was confident
that those who stood it were weli-
grounded in the subjects taught.
But no ono stood UP.
WAIT ON DIR. HENSON
The expression Of apparently the enttre
class was Of surprise and indignation. A
meeting was held at once and a COM
n,ittee was appointed to go to Dr.. Hen
son and learn from him who brought this
charge against DR.. Fisher to him. fc.
that gentleman will tell. il the class.
learns in any other way. every effort
will be made to get the faculty to senG
the offenders away. The committee re-
ports tomorrow.
A similar case arose last year and tbs
faculty had to exert all its influence to
keep peace among the students and pre-
vent rough handling OF the offenders by
the angry friends of the instructor.
