the Institution can be completed"
1t was in 1851 that the bill passed
the legislature making the College of
Physicians and Surgeons located at
Keokuk, a part and department OF
the state university of Iowa. This
is commented on in the February
issue, briefly. In the March issue
there is comment on an article,
The Durability of Consumption
Aid for keokuk College.
1--WE noticed in our last number"
says an editorial on the appropria-
ton to the Feokuk college. the re-
ception of bill providing for the
legal connection of this institution
with the Iowa State University, and
that by virtue of this connection, an
endowment adequate to the future
wants of the medical department
would be realized. AS the endow-
ment then alluded to was part of the
general university fund, it was feared
by the general assembly that this
could not be placed in tangible
early period to relieve the medical
department from these embarrass-
ments and wants incident to its
early struggles. To meet these they
therefore, made an additional appro-
priation of $4,000 for which the med
lcal faculty now present their
acknowledgements. By this immed-
late and opportune aid they can
greatly extend their facilities for med
ical teaching and make ample prep
arations for the prospectiyely large
class of next season"
Women In the Profession.
DR. John Ware of Massachus etts.
in a lecture reported in the April,
1851, journal, says of women in the
profession, & cannot withhold my
conviction that the general practice
of medicine would be found unsuited
to her physical, intellectual and NOR
al constitution-that she could not so
thoroughly through with the prepare
ton necessary for it without impair
ing many of the higher characters
tics for which we honor and love her"
1t is evident that the antlsuffrag-
lists have been stealing some of this
thunder in the recent campaign.
The addition to the old college
building made possible by the en-
downent is referred to in the follow
ing from the August number: These
improvements will give us one Of the
finest college buildings in the west.
There will be three large lecture
rooms, two of which will seat over
three hundred and fifty persons, one
about two hundred and fifty. The
building is situated on an eminence
and faces the river with the front
finished in the finest style of archi-
lecture Of 100 feet"
