THE plan is one Of far reaching i'm
port. II foreshadows what many
thoughtful physicians have felt and
expressed will sooner or later occur.
namely, cooperation OF all medical ac-
tivities for the good OF the community
1t Is in line with the best thought on
real efficiency, which Is the all impor
| tant factor in the training Of the fu-
ture physicians"
DR. Lambert explained that such a
medical centre. with its diagnostic
clinic and allied hospitals for special
| ties and expert surgical treatment,
would have 10 cooperate with the gen.
| eral profession and make itself a ne
cessity for general practitioners to OBJ
tain rapid and scientific diagnoses for
their patients at a reasonable fee.
THE university medical schools must
organize on some such basis and give
| the public IL high grade Of service On
! lines TO reach the poor and the persons
! Of moderate means or the opportunity
| will be lost TO them both to develop
medical education on the broadest lines
and to give tho best service 10 the
whole community" DR.. Lambert said.
J
ment in medicine will be on lines OF
State control and the greatest good OF
education will DO lost"
! He pointed out that many members
OF the teaching STAFF of the College OF
Physicians and Surgeons-leadlng
specialists of nationwide reputation
receive no pay for their services TO the
school. The most recent advances in
medical education at Columbia have
been brought about by the activity OF
the medical teachers in obtaining
funds for those new activities In which
they were especially interested, he
said.
None Operates at n PrOat.
'"There Is much apprehension on the
part of the general public regarding
the financial status OF our large uni
versities. particularly Columbia he
said. THE public reads in the news
papers of the many thousands of
students who register in our large in
stltutions OF learning. and the refer
ence is very naturally that the enter
prise of education must be a vastly
profitable one, and that a university
such as Columbia can do almost any
thing II chooses.
"As a matter OF fact neither Co

methods of q demagogue-blatant

Coming out Of obseurity to the State
Senate. he devised a plan which was
put into law over the veto OF a Repub-
lean Governor with the object OF pre-
venting the Republicans from ever
again seating an Executive. 1t was q
simple bit OF political chlcanery. In its
essence II meant that an apparent

rank and file of his party.
Events moved along 10 the race for
the Governorship In November, 1899.
Bill GoebeI had determined to make
himself Governor Of the State. In the
selection of delegates to the Demo

beaten. but he had control OF the Dem
ocratic State committee, and when the
delegates assembled he used his power
to throw cut enough OF antl-Goebel

that campaign Democrats denounced
him upon the stump as q thief and a

FOR the latter accusation, He had met
Col. John Sanford, a political opponent

OF course medical education Is part OF
