BRAINS ANTEDArE COLLEGES.
Great Men Have Done Good Work
Without Diplomas.

From the Portland Oregonisn
The American Medical Association, at its
recent meeting in New Orleans, acted in
q narrow spirit In adopting report which
rs believed to mean the final exclusion
from admission in the medical colleges OF
all applicants who have not had a college
education" This Is the rule adopted by
Harvard University. which requires a col
lege education of all applicants for admis-
sion TO her schools in medicine. law or the
ology. but II Is not the rule at Yale Uni
versity, which. speaking by the mouth OF
President Hadley. says that Yale will es-
tablish no rule which would have excluded
Abraham Lincoln and John Marshall from
her law school. or Dwight L. Moody from
her school OF divinity. or Benjamin Frank
lin from her scientific school. The Amert-
can Medical Association ought to remember
that superior brains always antedates col
leges. There were great generals many
centuries before Jomini wrote concerning
the art OF war; there were great orators be-
fore there were any teachers of eloquence
impressive preachers before there were any
divinity schools. The list OF superior men
who have done vast credit to the medical
profession without the nominal advantage
of a college education is a notable one. both
In England and the United States.
Huxley not college graduate;
neither were the famous brothers John and
William Hunter. In English science neither
Faraday. Tyndall nor Spencer were college
graduates Tyndall p1rsued some special
studies in Germany under Professor Bun
sen, but he was the child of no English uni
versity or college. Spencer was originally
a civil engineer. Faraday was the poor
child OF a stonemason. DIR. Mcdowell the
first man in the world to attempt ovarioto-
my. could not under it's present rule join
the American Medical Association Drs
John w. Francis. Henry b. Sands and
James r. Wood. famous men of the medi-
cal profession Of New York city, were not
college graduates. Roscoe Conkling and
George F. Edmunds and Matt II. Carpen-
ter. the .ablest lawyers the United States
Senate has known since Daniel Webster
were graduates OF no college or law school
The rule OF the American Medical Associa-
ton is absurd. because II asks doctor for
q college diploma, which, IL he has any pro-
tessional reputation for knowledge and
skill, he does not need and which ought not
TO be passport TO the association II he has
no valid credentials of professional knowl-
edge and skill. This is not said In deprecia-
ton OF college education: II Is only saying
that college diploma Is only a promise Of
good life work. not a performance.

Remodeling Of Noses.

INDIAN TERRITORY
AND ALASKA EXHIBITS
Judge Ryan Expects Two Territor-
les to Make Good Showing.

Secretary Hitchcock OF the Interior
Department has appointed Judge Thomas
Ryan. Assistant Secretary of the In
terror. chairman of the committees on
Alaskan and Indian Territory exhibits at
the st. LOFTS Exposition. Mr.. Ryan will
enter at once upon the duties OF his
new position and said this morning that
he expects the two territories TO make
most creditable showing at the ex-
position.
F. C. Hubbard, of Muslogee, Indian
Territory. was called to Washington by
Judge Ryan TO talk over the Indian Ter
ritory exhibit and was with the judge
this morning. Mr.. Hubbard has been
appointed the executive chairman for his
Territory. He has another engagement
to meet the assistant secretary this
afternoon at o'clock.
Judge Ryan has talked with several
OF. the most progressive men of Alaska
about the exhibit from that section. and
has received assurances of support. He
thinks that If properly handled the
showing Of Alaskan trade and enter
prises will be one OF the most interest
ing at the exposition.
He has sent a telegram to the COVER
nor of Alaska saying that II the people
OF the Territory are DESTROYS of talking
over the matter he will meet represen-
tative citizens from there at Seattle any
time between August and 10. No
answer to the telegram has yet been re-
ceived.
The Indian Territory had s25 900 grant
ed by Congress for its exhibit on con
dition that the Territory raise another
s25, 600 This has been done and there
is nothing now TO keep the committed
from going ahead. In the opinion OF
many OF the leading men OF the Terri
tory the Indian feature should be mini
mlzed and a commercial. agricultural
and manufacturing exhibit be offered, as
is done by the various States.
They say that the Indian has now gone
into the various occupations OF the white
man and that there is nothing to dis
tinguish the Territory from contiguous
/ states. and that for that reason the
display should be eminently practical
instead of a collection OF Indian relics.
