President Wheeler Advises Ap=
p0intments and Makes
Recommendations

Amalgamation with the University of
California is being sought by the medi-
cal school of the University of South
ern California, located at Los Angeles.
Representatives of the southern school
laid the matter before the regents of
the University of California at their
regular monthly meeting yesterday and
presented arguments in favor of the
step.
The action, If taken, will be a radical
departure from the policy of the insti-
tuition since its inception, and a thor
ough investigation by special COM
mittee will be made before the matter
J is finally passed upon at the meeting of
the regents next month.
Though nominally part of the Uni
versity of Southern California, the
medical school is conducted by private
degrees by the University of Southern
California
If annexed to the state university
the southern school graduates would
get degrees equivalent to those given
graduates of the medical school con-
nected with the state university. The
expense of maintaining the school
sity.
The questions of Jurisdiction, of
propriety, of finances and finally of
| feasibility will be gone into by the spe-
cial committee of the regents, which is
composed Of the chairmen of standing
committees.
| In return for the many advantages
which would accrue to their schools,
w. J. Barlow, G. MacGowan and Whit
| IL.
cal institution, have offered the prop
erty of the school, valued at 100000
and incumbered to the extent of $4,000.
They urge unity between the northern
and southern portions of the state.
1t was feared by some of the regents
that if the request of the southerners
be granted 1t might set dangerous
precedent, as other cities of the state
might then demand the same treatment.
