A plan to establish state medical
school as a branch of the Utah univer-
Sity is looked upon with favor by many
physicians of Salt Lake, and it is prob
able that the question will be brought
before the present session of the legis-
lature.
County Physician Mayo. who is one
OF the leading spirits in the enterprise,
is in communication with the board of
regents of the university, which, it is
said, will take up the question at the
next regular meeting.
DR.. Mayo says that such a school
can be esta blished in connection with
the university at a nominal expense, as
the now unused upper rooms of the
university buildings will answer for
dissecting rooms, and competent ply
sicians who viii give instructions can
be secured in Salt Lake. He also urges
the fact that many young man who are
DESTROYS of studying medicine are pre-
vented from doing so by lack Of
means to attend eastern colleges a diff
ficulty that would be overcome by the
establishment of a medical department
in the state institution.
