No Opposition Before Committee.
Senator Browne, the first to discuss
the bill, aid there were two features
in the proposed amendment which
were causing considerable agitation,
that of cutting out $4,000 for medi-
cal college and that of eliminating
100000 for an annual appropriation
for woman's building His argu-
ment covered most of the purposes OF
the bill. Among those who appeared
before The committee on education.
he said, were many of the university
regents, General F. G. Winkler Mr.
Llndeman, chairman of the legislative
committee of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association of Milwau-
kee, and Colonel W. F. Villas, while
no one had appeared in opposition.
The opinion of these many prominent
men, he said, ought to be allowed sur
ficient weight The precedent for a
medical college, he said, was not be-
ing established, for 21 states already
had such colleges He was of the
opinion that an Incorporated college
was a necessity, for otherwise stl-
dents could receive no credit and con-
sequently would go to other univer-
sites. But few students would be
able to spend two years here and then
go somewhere else for another four
years. Then, in considering the ad-
vantage thereof, he mentioned the fact
that some Of the strongest professors
in the country are in the Wisconsin
university, and some of the best lab
oratories in existence are there. Then
again, the surroundings and environ
ments are excellent in Madison and
they equal any In the country.
The purpose of the college, he said,
is not to turn out doctors, but to give
students the same privileges that they
obtain at other schools. A course
for health officers is to be started, ne
said Then there is also to be long
and short course in connection there
with for the oenef. of such officers,
much on the order of the agricultural
long and short courses A course IN
hygiene and sanitation viii be given
once a year, lasting for two or three
weeks. A hygienic laboratory. to be
paid for from the amount OF the APP
preparation, where citizens may send
samples for examination and where
sick people may 60 for diagnosis OF
their case. he said was to be estab-
Iished. In connection with the teach
er's course this course in hygiene
and sanitation is to be established. so
that those who teach in the state
schools in later years may be able to
teach principles of health and correct
living.
Womanis Building Needed
Senator Browne also made
lengthy argument on the woman's
building. saying that II we need It
the state ought to provide for It He
attempted to prove its necessity by
stating that there are 700 women stu
dents In the university. and Of that
humble. only 100 can be accommo-
dated In Chadbourne hall For next
year there are already $50 appnca-
