in the conclusion that the medical
and dental schools should he discon-

instruction to arrange to merge them
with some other institution that

conference was sought with President
Bowman, OF the State University of

is the announcement that these two
schools beginning September / will
be merged with the medical and dent
al departments of the State University
of Iowa at Iowa City. Drake Uni

medical course of two years for medi-
cal students, so that little of the
equipment that has been used in the
medical and dental schools will be

Continuation Impossible.


ITO undertake to continue the medi-
cal school in the second class would
be impossible, for students would
find themselves denied admission to
the examination for certificate to prac-
tice in various states, and hence
would not be willing to attend the
school and thus jeopardize their fu-
ture freedom In medical practice.
Likewise the faculty would not be
willing to continue in school with
out hope of attaining the highest rank
in the immediate future.
After careful consideration of
these discouraging and impossible
conditions Dean w. w. Pearson and
Dean F. ]. Smith recommended to the
board of trustees as follows:
Dear Sirs: 1t is with regret that

Same Trouble Which Forced Keokuk
Institution to Gke Up, Caused
Drake to Make
Change.

The same trouble which befell the
Keckuk Medical College and forced
sale of the school to the Drake Uni
versity. has overtaken the Drake
medical department and 1t has Just
been merged with the medical depart
ment of the state university, putting
! the school now on a firm foundation
| with three million dollar endow-
ment and assuring 1t a future. AS
the college was located in Keokuk for
SO many years, it will be interesting
to the citizens Of this vicinity to
know of the change just made. It
/ is reported in the Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader as follows:
The merger OF the college of medi-
cine and dentistry of Drake Univers-
lity with the corresponding schools OF
the State University of Iowa was an
nounced yesterday by President Hill
M. Bell of the former school. The
change is made necessary by a recent
classification of the medical colleges
OF the country, which places Drake in
the second class, with requirements
for admission to the first class so
strict that an immediate additional
endowment Of 100000 or $4,000, 900
would be needed to meet them.
President Bells statement says:
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association, under date of
January Is, 1918, the council on med
ical education reports new CLASH
fcation Of medical colleges in which
the medical college j of Drake Uni
Iyersity is placed in the second class.
4 1T was at once seen by the faculty
1 and officers of Drake University that,
unless the medical school could be
placed in the highest class the rating
was disastrous to the future of the
department. DR.. N. P. Colwell, secre-
4 tary of the council on medical edca-
ton, was asked to state what would
be necessary in order that the medi-
Ioal school of Drake University should
be placed in class A plus.
Means So ,ooo, GOO Endowment.
4 "A careful analysis OF this reply in
i dicates very closely that to place the
medical school in class A plus would
frequire Immediate funds to the
amount of s3,00o,00o, If anything like
a permanency would be attained, and
i 100000 would be necessary to get
q into class A plus for even an extreme
lily short period. The requirement that
the hospital should be owned and abb
solutely controlled and should be
next to the medical school would
mean an annual expenditure of about
100000, or the income on practically
s2,000,000. The teaching force in
the medical school would have to be
increased to such an extent as to re-
quire the income from $1,000,000
more at least. Efforts were made at
|once by Drake University to see If
this large sum of money could be real
|, lied. 1t became apparent that such
! an amount was far beyond the pos
sibility of present or future realiza-
, ton.
