to the people of Iowa and to the pro

THE college of medicine was one OF
the first things which claimed the

college of medicine has had long and

this college; but, on the contrary,
early determined to do everything
within its power to advance its inter-
ests and to make 1t one of the best
medical schools in the country.
There have been many and marked
changes in methods of teaching in
medical colle>es during the last few
years. Our own institution has kept
well abreast with these. It is the
boards intention, with the assistance
OF the people of the state through
their legislature, to make the Univer-
