Owners of Institution Will
Turn 1t Over to Board
of Trustees
MAY ULTIMATELY BE
PART OF UNIVERSITY
Proposed Step Will Give Local Col
lege All the Dignity of
Big Medical
Institution

The Birmingham Medical college will be
reorganized within the near future, and
| instead of being. as 1t Is now. a prepa-
ratory school, will assume all the dignity
of big medical institution.
In other words, the doctors who now
own the college will return 1t over to a
board of trustees. which board will elect
a president and faculty. When this is
accomplished. the graduates of the college
will be eligible 10 appear before the state
board and demand an examination for
license to practice.
| OF the first board of trustees. 1t is prob
guson. James Weatherly and Sydney J..
| Bowie will be members.
| Action to the above effect will be taken
Immediately because 1t is certain that the
transaction of turning the institution over
to the University of Alabama cannot bo
completed before fall. The formation OF
| the board of trustees does not preclude L
deal In the future with the university. On
the other hand In completing the re-
organization that future arrangement is
planned
| The matter of turning the college over
/ to the university was first launched dur
| ing the last session of the legislature. on
| account OF the opposition of Mobile, In
which city the medical college of the
university is now situated, the first move
ment did not score a success. At the
present time, 1t is certain that before the
Birmingham Institution can be made a.
part of the university, a fight will have
to be won. Thomas NJ Stevens of Mo-
bile, a member of the Senate and men,
Der of the board of trustees of the uni
versity is strong In his opposition--be-
cause he foresees that the merging of
the local college with the university
would eventually mean the destruction of
the medical college, part of the uni
versity, at Mobile.
In the future, however, local men be-
leve that the university will take over
the local college. Some days ago, as is
remembered. a delegation from Birming-
ham visited Tuscaloosa, and put the prop
osition before DR.. Denny, the president
of the university. He was impressed
with the idea of giving the university
and the idea that this is the city in which
the college of medicine should be To-
Gated. He was also impressed with the
value of the franchises owned by tho
local college. one being 90 year connec-
ton with the Hillman hospital, and an
other. the use of all unclaimed bodies of
paupers who die In this county.
On account of the fact, however. that
1t is certain that tho transaction could
not be completed by this fall. the reor-
ganization of the college will occur in
the immediate future. The reorganiza-
ton will be along advanced lines. AS a
result. it is expected that the beginning
of a college which shall be recognized
for its worth throughout the country
will be made.

the fish as though he loved them, and
as he fished- he thought and dreamed
about himself and the fishes, and the
great nature about him, and Of human
life in general; and out Of those
thoughts and dreams the Complete
Angler grew as naturally and beauti-
fully as the rose grows out Of the rose

Thus are we able to account for the
fact that there runs throughout the
