The Greater college.
When the University College of Med
icine was burned to the ground lit
tie less than q year ago, the seeming
calamity cast gloom over the entire
community to-day no friend of the
institution sees in that went anything
more than the means oward greater
end than the old school, with its limita-
tons, could ever have hoped TO accom-
plish The entire city ralned to the
demand for quick action, faculty and
trustees Went TO work with de-
termination that could mean nothing
but success, and the specific result of
1t all Is seen in the announcement OF
the board made last night. The new
college viii be built with money given
outright By the people OF Richmond:
more than ever before it Will be a
local institution in the erection of
which all have had a hand, and in the
growing success of which all may take
a pardonable pride.
To the trustees belong much of the
credit for what has been done. The
To-, "a - a. 70 tol
mond business men, and to them has
been surrendered the entire manage
ment OF the financial affairs of the
college. These men have given
freely of their means and their time
and have personally taken up, con-
sidered and decided every detail touch
ing the construction of the new build
ing. The faculty has had, and here
after viii have nothing whatever to
do with the money spending. II Will
be concerned solely with the curriculum
and with the adjustment of relations
between the University College
OF Medicine and the various
medical associations with which 1t is
affiliated. The remainder of the
gigantic task of establishing a great
hands of the trustees, and they have
done tho work thoroughly and will see
that 1t is as thoroughly preserved.
That the faculty, however. has con-
tributed it's share, goes without the
saying. The personnel of the teaching
staff has undergone some changes, the
curriculum has been extensively al
tered and improved after many labor
ious weeks, and the screws have been
frightened in every direction. Some
months ago a committee went forth on
search for ideas and visited many OF
the larger medical schools of the East
and communicated with many others
throughout the country When all the
data was in hand, the committee sat
down, picked out the best each school
had to offer. and adopted 1t as It's
own. This is literally true and hence
the faculty has no hesitancy in claim
ing for the new University College
that, while it is enabled to avoid the
mistakes, 1t in equal measure profits
by the advantages of all the other
medical schools in the United States.
In the matter of mere bulk, of course,
the equipment will not compete with
that of some of the colleges where the
attendance is much larger, but man
for man, the students here will be as
well provided for as are any in Baltl-
more, Philadelphia, or New YORK,

methods of all three of those cities, |
and others besides, will be brought to-
gether and welded into one symmetri-
cal whole, along with an equipment
fresh from the factory.
The building committee of the
faculty was composed OF DIR. r. w,
Miller chairman; Dr.. Paulus a. II
wing, DR. NJ. u. Hoge, Jr., DR., Stuart
MacLean, and William r. Miller.
