RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATION
ARE BEING DEMONSTRATED
Marking tho first anniversary OF the
epoch making amalgamation which
brought together the two big schools
then In existence, and which at once
advanced Richmond to the front rank
of medical centres, tho present COM
mencement will be an event of great
Importance and Significance to tho
profession and OF moro than ordinary
interest to tho Virginia public at
large.
w non the S6SSlOn now enalnB began
two faculties had just been merged,
two rival student bodies united and
two competing properties consolidat-
ed Tho stage was admirably set for
innumerable complications, and 1t was
with some apprehension that the d.
recting forces of the institution faced
situation which, in tho nature of
things. was likely to present many diff
ficulttes. Tho first session under the
new dispensation was. therefore. some
thing of test OF the stability OF the
RmalGamntion, and the consideration Of
tho results of this test will be the no
table feature OF this commencement.
That this consideration Will be n very
agreeable affair Ia source of pro-
found satisfaction to everybody as
ISOLATED with tho institution. Safely
guided by wise heads and Loyalty sup
ported by the students and the pro-
feasion, the college ends one year and
begins another not only with It's con-
Rttuent elements firmly united, but
with overy prospect of future of
steadily growing influence. Tho U1.-
vcrsity College of Medicine and the
Medical College OF Virginia as they
existed prior to the year 1919 have
ceased to BIO. and In their place is Il
new and greater school combining tho
spirit. tho traditions and the hopes OF
both the old as we'll as their faculties
students and physical properties The
two wings Of the profession have once
moro come together I'm n common effort
and. what Is moro. have done so with
an evidence of cordially and good Will
that promises much. Tho years work
has progressed smoothly and hnrmoni-
ously, and not only In the facuI.y SEES
sions, but even among the students
Where rivalry was so keen a short
time ago, there has boon n singular
and gratifying lack of those petty COM
piications which the welding process
might so easily have preoipitatod. In
word, tho old lines wcre obliteratod,
and In all essentials the college, or
Eanization was unit without regard
