STATE SOCIETY REFUSES TO
HEAR ARRANGEMENT OF MED
icAL DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE
CRITICISM OF UNIVERSITY
Report Signed by Only Two Physicians
and Society Refuses to Receive It
Charged That Politics in Manage
nent Is Interfering With Efforts to
Build Up Great College at S. y. !.

Sioux City, May 15.-Iowa doctors
DISAGREED on the merits of the medical
school of the state university at th'
meeting Of the house Of delegates or the
Iowa Medical Society at the Martln
Hotel. DR.. L. w. Littig, of Davenport
chairman Of the committee on meolcal
education, was not permitted to reau
the committees report, which was
severe criticism of the methods USED
by those in control Of the medical school
at the university.
The committee was composed OF hve
members. one of whom was not present
at the session of the house Of delegates
and who has not attended the conven-
ton this season. OF the four remain
ing members, two refused to sign the
report after all had had a share IN
drawing it up. President l.. w. Dean
ruled that the house of delegates coulo
not pass on a report which only two OF
the members had signed. A debate on
parliamentaary law ensued, which was
arbitrated by a motion to place the re-
port on the table until yesteray morn
ing.
Politics lnjuring School.
Altho the report was not read, II
is generally understood among the
medical men that it contained an at
tack on the state me dical school ana
that the highest efficiency can not pc
maintained under the present system
of control Some members of the Iowa
Medical Society even claim that the
state is in serious danger OF pelns
without a medical school, as the state
university can not keep up to the
standard required by law if the present
system of control is maintained.
Leaders in the opposition to the
medical college at Iowa City under the
present plan of control point to the
RESIGNATION Of Mr.. William Jepson, OF
Sioux City, former faculty member. and
also to the later resignation of John u.
Bowman. president Of the university.
II IS claimed that these men severed
their connection with the university
because of the fact that the policies OIL
the university were controlled by pol
itics rather than by q standard OF ell
ficiency.
Want Resident Dean.
II is understood that the report of the
committee asked that the dean of the
college Of medicine be a resident OF
fetal. At present the dean lives IN
Dubuque Opponents charge that it is
impossible for q resident dean &c
