HIT
SCHOOLS OF
MEDICINE
Too Much Instruction, but
Really Little Education,
They Assert.

PITTSBURG, Jan. 3.-Dr. John G..
S%churman, president of Cornell Uni
versity, improved the opportunity fur
nished by the council In this city called
by the American Academy of Medicine,
to assail the elective principle in col
leges and universities and to place the
responsibility for this system upon
President Charles A. Eliot, of Harvard.
The elective principle of colleges
and universities is carried too far" said
DR.. Schurman, land you know as well
as / do that the man who is practically
responsible for it is President Eliot, Of
Harvard.
"In connection with this, l beg to
announce for the first time that i.egin-
ming this year., 1908. we will admit to
our medical college only college gradu-
ates."
Murray Gault Motter, A. M, M. D.,
secretary of the National Confederation
of State Medicine Examining and Lii
censing Boards of the United States, in
his paper on The Medical Curriculum"
said the present system of medical
training is detective; that there are too
many ~"ologies," too much instruction,
but really little education
rail, as some may, al the methods
by which the efficiency of our medical
schools have been measured, with a
foot-rule and hour-glass,' the results of
the recent inspection of the 100 medical
schools of this country are enough to
give us pause said Professor Motter.
Frederick II. Gerrish, M. D., LII. D.,
of Portland, Me, professor of surgery
at the medical department of Bowdoin
College, expressed the danger of at
tempting too much His views were
later c~orroborated by DR.. Clara Mar
shall, dean of the Women's Medical
College of Pennsylvania.
81 am not oblivious to the rightful
claims of the specialists" said DR..
Gerrish. "but beyond those parts of
them which are essential to the all
around doctor, they should be made
strictly postgraduate studies"
Henry Beates, jr., M. D., of Phila-
delphia, president of the Medical Coun-
Gil of Pennsylvania, referred to the
present curriculum as a m~onstrosity.
DR.. Beates, F. C. Waite. Phi, D., Sec
rotary of the Ohio Association of Med
ical Teachers; Roland G.. Curtin, M. D.,
Phi. D., of Philadelphia, and other edu-
Gators who read papers and partlci-
pated in a general discussion which fol-
lowed, agreed that four years in
college and four years in a med
ical school are too much of a
mans life to ask for preparation for his
profession, and that college courses
should be so arranged that six years
only will be required.
1t was also favored that every med
ical student secure his college degree
before his degree in medicine. This Is
for the purpose of ~discouraging stu
dents from entering on the study of
medicine with only a high school cdu-
cation.

idea in exactly the same a that
you do.
Liberty is as old as man. There
have always been individuals who,
without regard to color or creed, have
stood for it's principles. This country
cannot claim that liberty originated
here, but 1t has had it's home here as
long as the country has been in exist
ence, inc / believe that this nation
among the nations of the earth is the
elected of God"
The meeting was adjourned for lun-
cheon after DIR. Glazebrook's talk.
