Medical School Changes.

Fourth-'rhe changes in the medical
| school involved practically the same edu-
| cational problem and were met with the
same objections those in the law
school. The administration advocated the
extension of the laboratories and the em-
ployment of specially trained men to
teach the laboratory courses. This was
done and resulted in the employment oi
four professional teachers on regular SAL
aries to do this work The expense in
volved was the increase of the salary
lis: and the expense in establishing and
ma intaining the laboratories Another
change made was to increase the clinical
tea ching. first by requiring men In their
gradua ting year 10 give their full time

give full time to the clinics. This was

give to each student thorough training

But One object in View.
Fifth-it will be observed that in all
these changes there was but one object
in view-namely. to improve the educa-
tional standards and methods bringing

permit to the standards and methods
prevailing in the best institutions We
do not claim to have attained all that
