mittee Of twelve six from encl1 college
three being members OF the board OF
trustees and three, members OF the
faculty. 4 s ~ As &.
Upon a final vote before this commit
tee at meeting held at the > Jefferson
Hotel on Thursday night, eleven voted
i Tor the proposed plan and one ainst3lt.
\ Last night the plan, as adopted by the
joint committee was presented to the
faculties OF the two colleges for their
approval before It was finally voted upon
/. By The boards or trustees. In whose hands

Did Not Come to Vote
The faculty Of the Medical College OF
Virginia did not vote upon the direct
question, but, after q hours ses-
ing. The faculty Of the University Col
slcge e#of AIedici:1l. session which
lasted 1--WE hours, BY a vote .of u to ~,
two members not voting, declined to
approve the plan as proposed by the
Joint committee, and passed the matter
on to the board OF trustees.
1t lis definitely stated, however, by
members OF both faculties that the sem
9timent is overwhelmingly in favor OF
ANA lgaIna ton, and that this end Y VIII
finally be reached. S}

( bers OF the faculties object 70 certain
clauses OF the proposed plan ana voted
against 1t for this reason. although &fa-5

Sworn to Secrecy.
What the plan is that was presented to
the faculties last night is not known,
for the members have been sworn to
absolute secrecy and will not discuss
the ma tier. i35 s&:$ III sg85
# II Is known. however, that It suggests
that the name OF the an1algamra ted school
shall be ''The Medical College OF Flr-s
ginin and the University College OF Hed-
3icine, Consolidated
The reason given for this lengthy name
Is that It would be impossible to make
n change In either name before the next
session OF the Legislature, which VIII
not occur for two years. 1t is also
known that all tho members Of both fac
5utles will hold a place on the facu-E
OF the consolidated schools. for 1t Is said
that the proposed new college will need
all8the professorsGof both the old schools
The matter OF selecting board Of
trustees for the new college has been
simplifled by the willingness OF the pres,
ent board OF trustees Of tke Medical
College OF Virginia to resign, 30 that
the Governor would be able to select an
entirely new board, which would be
composed of an equal number Of the
present trustees OF each college. ii II
No President Named.
The proposed plan named no president
but it IL understood that. in the event
of amalgamation, DR., Stuart Mcclure
will become the head of the new college.
The scheme. 1t is said, proposes that
all the buildings of the Medical College
of Virginia be used, and only those Of
the University lSolege Of Medicine that
arc abs olutely necessary.
The report, which was fourteen type
written pages in length. compared in
detail both the properties Of the two
institutions and tho eminence and skill
of the various members OF the faculty,
and in presenting ench resolution, gave
1T length the reasons for 1t. 9

faculty OF the Medical College Of VIZ

Glty, said: 4
"We can only say that we have not
been able to determine anything at this
time, and have adjourned until Monday Y

Clauses Not Agreeable.
DR., IIazen said that there were sew
eral ella uses In the report which We're NOT
agreeable to the members OF his faculty
and for this reason tho adjournment was
taken.
It Is said that the members Of the
faculty Of the Medical College ofIYrginla
are IN favor Of amalganlation on praers

4 f After the meeting Of 1. the faculty OF
the University College of Medicine, Dr.
Stuart Mcguire said: s
'.The question before our faculty was
whether or not we should favorably re,
port the resolutions as they now stand
to our board Of trustees. Our faculty
declined to SO report them by q vote
OF ia to III two members not voting
favor Of amalganlation, but only means
that there are several clauses Of the
resolutions which. for persc1al reasons,
are not agreeable to the ~ rious members
