leSes Decides to Admit Only
COueSe-Educated Men.

New Orleans, May 6.-With a rec
ord-breaking attendance, both in
point of delegates and visitors, and
with many distinguished physicians,
surgeons and scientists present, the
fifty-fourth annual meeting of the
American Medical association opened
Tuesday at Tulane theater. Pres
ident Frank Billings called the meet
ing to order and later spoke briefly
in acknowledging the several adj
dresses of welcome of the city.
The endowed medical colleges of
the north scored a big victory at the
Association of American Medical Col
leges late Monday night in the adop-
ton of an amended report of the
committee to which the matter of
requirements for admission had been
referred. The report as adopted re-
quires four full years of work in the
high school or it's equivalent for
eligibility to admission in a medical
college. This is believed to mean the
final exclusion from admission in the
medical colleges of all applicants
who have not had college education.
Two-thirds of the medical colleges in
the country are not endowed.
