1nSs, president of the Wisconsin College of

OF the institution are discussing plan of

ings says:
The university Of Wisconsin has al
lowed itself to lapse behind every other
s'ate university Of the middle west in not
oeIore this adding a medical department
TO the institution. At Michigan, Chicago,
minnesota, Iowa and Northwestern, med
ical colleges are among the principal col
reyes or the institution, while at Wfscon-
sin none has as yet been affiliated. And
this IN spite of the fact that the Wfscon-
SIN institution has the strongest premed-
zeal course in the west 1t is but logical
mat a college should eventually be ad-
ded to the university, and Milwaukee Is
the logical place for such college,
And there is another factor which may
nave been overlooked. and that is, that
a medical college is at no institution
q burden but is rather a revenue maker
with the present college self-supporting
as an lndepedent institution and an at
tendance of only 200 Students is it not self
evident that without additional expen-
dlture and an added attendance Of 500 and
6eo resulting from the prestige of affili-
ating with the state institution it would
be source Of income Of no small
amount"
