W. M. ADDISON. Caslilor. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE The Conaolldntfon of the Medical School*. To the Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch: Sir,.The nrtlclo by Dr. George Tucker Harrison on tho proposed con¬ solidation of tho University of Vir¬ ginia medical department with tho Medical College of Virginia. which was printed In your columns on December 17. wp.b so forceful and so eloquent In its appeal to the alumni of the uni¬ versity that it has no doubt called forth comment which I have not seen. Tho prosperity of the university and the standard of medical education aro both so vital to tho peoplo of Virginia that any question touching either or both should be thoroughly discussed. As an alumnus of the university, though not of the medical department. I simply wish to ask If Dr. Hurrlson la not more Influenced by simple un¬ willingness to change (t state of things of long standing than by the reasons for and acralnst. My reasons for think¬ ing that Dr. Harrison has never ap- ptoached the question fairly are as fol¬ lows: Ho begins by protesting against this "radical movement," sums up the reasons for It as simply morcenary, and suggests that one of tho advocates of it is consenting against his will. Thin certainly sounds llko the projudlco of a born conservative, of one to whom any change Is per se a bad thing. And in his next words lie removes all doubt. "A good motto," ho says, "is quleta r.on mover*. Let well enough alone. It Is risky to embark on an unknown sen." Again T want to Insist that I can¬ not Judge of the merits of the ques¬ tion from a technical medical point of view, and have not n-ade up my mind on the subject, but I can and do know that such a standpoint of blind In¬ ertia as that will never suffice In this or any other question. That dogged devotion to all that has been and ia was once the pride of many Virginians, but It simply will not do nowadays. It drives those who really want to do what Is right into the mistake of adopting changes too rashly, it may be. In a community such as present day Virginia, striving on all hands for life and freerlom, and awaro of the rank growth of old abuses that must bo removed, this purblind policy of "let well enough alone" is maddening. Good men who raise this cry forget that they are strengthening the hands of all the defendant* of ti-f fee system in State offices tjje i.i" election ln«« and po¬ litical apathy that mako it posslblo for a candidate for Governor of Virginia to be elected without any opposition, and the horrible condition of illiteracy in Virginia, which the Legislature placidly accepts year after year. When¬ ever anybody objects to a proposed change In Virginia 011 the score of things being "well Enough alono," I feel tempted to ask if he really means that, or is talking in his sleep. No¬ body can look at the State of Virginia and think, without seeing, that If It Is "risky to embark on an unknown sea," it is also risky to accept things as they are. Now as for tho proposition in par¬ ticular, and Dr. Harrison's arguments apainst It. Is it not true that the advocates of the proposed consolida¬ tion of the two medical schools favor It on the ground that there is not room in Virginia for two first rank schools of medicine; that the second rank schools aro apparently doomed to a harder and harder struggle for exist¬ ence; and that as a result of the ad¬ vancement of scientific knowledge, no Pay City T axes Room 107, City Hall, Itichmop.d, Va., Dec. 1, 1913.

Is It not further true that tho faculty oC the medical department of tho Uni¬ versity of Virginia think that it 53 morn feasible, when all the facts nro considered, for tho Stato to maintain uucli a medical school In Richmond, a city of 130.000 InTmbltants, than In Charlottesville, a town of 7,000. and, moreover, hap not thin samo faculty shown by its action In adding continu¬ ally to Its requirements for matricu¬ lation and graduation and by Its In- ?istenc* oil tho necessity of research. that it Ik seeking ofllclency and not moro numlicru In Its advocacy of the union of tho schools? Dr. Harrison quotes at longth from Dr. Adaml, of Montreal, and Insists rightly on tho necessity of breadth In snodlcnl education. I think every man must ngroo that the ideal medical school Is part and parcol of a great university of many faculties. But how to attain that In this case, that- is the very question. Certainly tho medical students of the Unlvorslty of Virginia In tho pnst weie not studying under, conditions that remotely approached tho ideal, for no education beyond'tho three R.'s was required for entrance, and a man might and did often, gradu¬ ate (sometimes In on® year) without the remotest "education In and knowl¬ edge of humanity,", beyond an ana¬ tomical one. Tho proposed now medi¬ cal school would require an under¬ graduate college degree as requlslto for admission, I assume, certainly It would raise the present requirement of the university medical department, j which asks about two years of high ; school work or Jts equivalent. Tho Ideal condition would seem to demand the concentration of the medical schools at the University of Virginia. But would It be possible really to maintain a modern medical department of the rtrst rank and of large size In Charlottesville? I say "la!go sire," meaning tho single medical school in tho State, for It Is an essential part of the arguments of thoBC who, like my¬ self, hre for more concentration in State Institutions, that tho State can¬ not support more than one good medi¬ cal school. Dr. Harrison seems to cite Germany as an example of decentralized medical education, and, of course, j he In right In taking It as a . modol. But T beg to be allowed to point out that there Is no real analogy between Virginia ar.d Germany. The real analogy should be between this country at large and Germany. He neks us to listen to the words of Pro- fessor Prltsch, of the University of Bonn, who says: "It is the great good fortune of us Germans that Instead of j ono determinative central place, we possobs a great number of centres of scientific authority in our numerous universities." Exactly so, and the new proposed medical department of tho University of Virginia would attempt to become ono of the centres of scien¬ tific authority In medical knowledge in the United States. Dr. Harrison can certainly not mean that tho State of Virginia, one of forty-eight component parts of our country, Is really a unit | analogous to the German empire. Oer- many has Indeed some twenty-five unl- versifies for her population of G0,- j 000,000, and the sinnllor universities | hold their own manfully, but Virginia is educationally not on a par with the poorer provinces of Germany. Ho | speaks an If the Institutions of Vir¬ ginia were meant to servo a popula- I tlon cut off by such lines from the | surrounding population ns tho bound- nrles that separate Germans from Frenchmen, Austrlans, Swiss or Hus- sians. As a matter of fact, Virginia Is morn closely akin to any other American State In need6 and thought than some of the provinces of tho kingdom of Prussia are to each other, let alono1 Germany as a whole. This Is not to argue, of course, that the State of Virginia should hand over its control of education to Carnegie boards or any other private corporation, and I do not bellevo there Is any Intention on the part of the State to do so. What I want to emphasize Is that th« old notion thnt Virginia Is an en¬ tity separable In Ilfo and Interests and i identity from the rest of tho United States, whatever it was once, and however some peoplo may wish It were still, is now not lr. accord with facts, Wo must base our educational institu- tiona on recognition of things as they are. Again, Dr. Harrison "idduces the au¬ thority of Professor Hyrtl, of Vienna, for a comparison between good instruc¬ tion In medicine at the "small" univer¬ sity of Dorpat, and poor instruction at tho great one of Vienna. Ho does not qucto Professor Hyrtl. but tho lan- | guage he uses certainly means that. I know very little about the University of Vienna, but I do know thnt medical Instruction nt the University of Berlin Is unexcelled, and If slzo lias caused a degeneration In the medical depart¬ ment at Vienna, no such result lias taken place In tho study of philology tliero. Dr. Harrison goes so far as to assert that "tho best educated young medical men come from the smaller universities and colleges." I have no means of judging how far such a J sweeping observation Is Just, and 1 do not assert the contrary. But If Dr. Harrison Intends to draw any such conclusion with regard to our medical education from tho case of such uni¬ versities as Dorpat, I want to remind him that it is not "small" In the sense that the University of Virginia Is small. In 1902 tho University of Dorpat had I,, 33 stud on ts, of whom 7t!7 were medi¬ cal students, over seven times as many the medical department of tho uni¬ versity at present, and moro than the numbers of tho Medical College of Vlr- giv.la and the university medical de¬ partment put together. As I sco tho question It Is this: There are now two medical schools re¬ ceiving Stato support. They aro com¬ petitors with many lavishly supplied and extremely efficient medical schools, especially those in Baltimore, Phila¬ delphia, New York and Boston. South of us aro fewer and weaker schools. Virginia is In every respcct advantage¬ ously situated for a position of lead¬ ership In Southern education, especi¬ ally. perhaps, medical education. All over tho country, in spito of tho oppo¬ sition of many Ill-equipped medical schools, private and Stato supported, tho medical schools are being thinned out, and tho best concentrated In Htrateglc points. The alternatives be¬ fore tho University of Virginia medical depai tnient seetn to he. either to unite with the Medical College of Virginia, pnd with tho aid of money from out- sldo sources '(from, which the univer¬ sity has already received hundreds of thousands of dollars), constitute tho only medical school *of first rank In tho Atlantlo States, south of Maryland, or. on the other hand, to remain aloof, calmly satisfied that the "traditions" and its standing In tho days boforo tho present world existed, will always be sufficient to outweigh anything done elsowhere, and continue to decrcaso while tho energy of tho awakened Stato Is poured Into tho Medical Col- lego of Virginia,. For heretofore tho university has compoted with two woak laodlcal nchools In Virginia; Jn tho future It must compete with a union of thnso two Into a much stronger ono. Ah I read tho arguments of Dr. Har¬ rison they resolvo themselves into this: "Tho old Ik bettor." When tlio Jury of public opinion in Virginia finally passes on that view. 1 bollove It will bring in Iho verdict "not proven." L. P. CHAM BERLAYNE. University of South Carolina, Co¬ lumbia, S. C.

To the Editor of The Tlmes-Dl3patch: Sir,.Tho open letter of Prof. Charles A. Graves, which appeared in The Times- Graves, which appeared in Tho Times- Dispatch of December 17, is decidedly | misleading, based as it is upon a wrong interpretation of statistics. Tho cor¬ respondent states: "It is manifest how much smaller the percentage of stu¬ dents favoring co-ordination has be- como in the last two years." The only ballot on co-ordination taken at the University of Virginia previous to this year was conducted by College Topics during tho session of 1910-11. According to College Topics, out of a voto of over BOO, only twenty students registered their approval of co-ordination. A similar ballot engi¬ neered by tho same publication three weeks ago showed, out of a voting strength of 29S. llfty in favor of the proposition. The vote taken at the mass-meeting In 1912, to which Professor Graves re¬ fers, cannot be taken as a fair indi¬ cation of student opinion. Tho mass- meeting had been called to consider a petition to be presented to the State Legislature opposing the proposed echemo. Tho document was verbose, and in some places presumptuous. It referred to the Legislature as "par¬ simonious," and assumed the position that student sentiment should bo tho supremo consideration before the legls- lators. Tho question finally turned on the wording of the petition. Many students otherwise opposed to co-ordi- nation, also opposed the petition be¬ cause they regarded It as undignified In letter and spirit The auxiliary question beclouded the main issue, and rendered the voto as recorded no Just test bv which to estimate with any degree of finality tho bias of student sentiment. It Is a general opinion among many students at the university that the percentage favoring co-ordination is larger to-day than two years ago. This impression is fully substantiated by tho recent ballot. A STUDENT. University of Virginia. * Slo*r Malls to West J'olnt antl Heyond. To the Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch: Sir,.Very Irregular are our mails from Richmond; no mail from Rich- mond for one or two days weekly for several weeks. I wroto to the l'ost- Oflice Department about our mails, and a letter beforo me in reply, states, "that the trouble is entirely due to tho late and Irregular running of the Southern Railway train No. 74. on which mails are handled between Rich¬ mond and West I'oint. Wo now have this matter up with tho Southern Railway people, in an effort to Improve the running conditions of this train, and 1 can assure, you everything pos¬ sible will bo done in that direction. ' This much is very gratifying, and on Friday last in The Times-Dispatch. I nolo that the Southern Railway contemplated putting on a train for passengers, leaving Richmond at S A, M., arriving in West Point at 9:30 A. M. Leaving West Point 5 P. M., reach¬ ing Richmond at 0:30 P. M. If so, our mall would reach West Point iit 9:30 A. M., and connections overland would be nuido all right, I think, every day. Again, If this traiu is put on, then the Post-Ofllce Depart , inent can arrange for all the malls lo j roach Went Point in tlmo for the sam«i to be taken to Richmond on tho 5 P. M. train. Make tho schedules so tho mails can get hack to West Point by .1:30 P. M., and then a dally mall to Richmond could be fixed, as well as a dally mail from Rlcninond.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLEThe Conaolldntfon of the Medical

School*.To the Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch:Sir,.The nrtlclo by Dr. George

Tucker Harrison on tho proposed con¬solidation of tho University of Vir¬ginia medical department with thoMedical College of Virginia. which wasprinted In your columns on December17. wp.b so forceful and so eloquent Inits appeal to the alumni of the uni¬versity that it has no doubt calledforth comment which I have not seen.Tho prosperity of the university andthe standard of medical education aroboth so vital to tho peoplo of Virginiathat any question touching either orboth should be thoroughly discussed.As an alumnus of the university,though not of the medical department.I simply wish to ask If Dr. Hurrlsonla not more Influenced by simple un¬willingness to change (t state of thingsof long standing than by the reasonsfor and acralnst. My reasons for think¬ing that Dr. Harrison has never ap-ptoached the question fairly are as fol¬lows: Ho begins by protesting againstthis "radical movement," sums up thereasons for It as simply morcenary, andsuggests that one of tho advocates ofit is consenting against his will. Thincertainly sounds llko the projudlcoof a born conservative, of one to whomany change Is per se a bad thing. Andin his next words lie removes all doubt."A good motto," ho says, "is quletar.on mover*. Let well enough alone.It Is risky to embark on an unknownsen."

Again T want to Insist that I can¬not Judge of the merits of the ques¬tion from a technical medical point ofview, and have not n-ade up my mindon the subject, but I can and do knowthat such a standpoint of blind In¬ertia as that will never suffice In thisor any other question. That doggeddevotion to all that has been and iawas once the pride of many Virginians,but It simply will not do nowadays.It drives those who really want to dowhat Is right into the mistake ofadopting changes too rashly, it maybe.

In a community such as present dayVirginia, striving on all hands for lifeand freerlom, and awaro of the rankgrowth of old abuses that must boremoved, this purblind policy of "letwell enough alone" is maddening. Goodmen who raise this cry forget that theyare strengthening the hands of all thedefendant* of ti-f fee system in Stateoffices tjje i.i" election ln«« and po¬litical apathy that mako it posslblo fora candidate for Governor of Virginiato be elected without any opposition,and the horrible condition of illiteracyin Virginia, which the Legislatureplacidly accepts year after year. When¬ever anybody objects to a proposedchange In Virginia 011 the score ofthings being "well Enough alono," Ifeel tempted to ask if he really meansthat, or is talking in his sleep. No¬body can look at the State of Virginiaand think, without seeing, that If It Is"risky to embark on an unknown sea,"it is also risky to accept things asthey are.Now as for tho proposition in par¬

ticular, and Dr. Harrison's argumentsapainst It. Is it not true that theadvocates of the proposed consolida¬tion of the two medical schools favorIt on the ground that there is not roomin Virginia for two first rank schoolsof medicine; that the second rankschools aro apparently doomed to aharder and harder struggle for exist¬ence; and that as a result of the ad¬vancement of scientific knowledge, no

medical school can contlnuo to turnout good practitioners that doos notdevote Itself to scientific research? IsIt not further true that tho faculty oCthe medical department of tho Uni¬versity of Virginia think that it 53morn feasible, when all the facts nroconsidered, for tho Stato to maintainuucli a medical school In Richmond, acity of 130.000 InTmbltants, than InCharlottesville, a town of 7,000. and,moreover, hap not thin samo facultyshown by its action In adding continu¬ally to Its requirements for matricu¬lation and graduation and by Its In-?istenc* oil tho necessity of research.that it Ik seeking ofllclency and notmoro numlicru In Its advocacy of theunion of tho schools?

Dr. Harrison quotes at longth fromDr. Adaml, of Montreal, and Insistsrightly on tho necessity of breadth Insnodlcnl education. I think every manmust ngroo that the ideal medicalschool Is part and parcol of a greatuniversity of many faculties. But howto attain that In this case, that- is thevery question. Certainly tho medicalstudents of the Unlvorslty of VirginiaIn tho pnst weie not studying under,conditions that remotely approachedtho ideal, for no education beyond'thothree R.'s was required for entrance,and a man might and did often, gradu¬ate (sometimes In on® year) withoutthe remotest "education In and knowl¬edge of humanity,", beyond an ana¬tomical one. Tho proposed now medi¬cal school would require an under¬graduate college degree as requlsltofor admission, I assume, certainly Itwould raise the present requirement ofthe university medical department,j which asks about two years of high

; school work or Jts equivalent. ThoIdeal condition would seem to demandthe concentration of the medical schoolsat the University of Virginia.

But would It be possible really tomaintain a modern medical departmentof the rtrst rank and of large size InCharlottesville? I say "la!go sire,"meaning tho single medical school intho State, for It Is an essential part ofthe arguments of thoBC who, like my¬self, hre for more concentration inState Institutions, that tho State can¬not support more than one good medi¬cal school.

Dr. Harrison seems to cite Germanyas an example of decentralizedmedical education, and, of course,

j he In right In taking It as a. modol. But T beg to be allowed topoint out that there Is no real analogybetween Virginia ar.d Germany. Thereal analogy should be between thiscountry at large and Germany. Heneks us to listen to the words of Pro-fessor Prltsch, of the University ofBonn, who says: "It is the great goodfortune of us Germans that Instead of

j ono determinative central place, wepossobs a great number of centres ofscientific authority in our numerousuniversities." Exactly so, and the newproposed medical department of thoUniversity of Virginia would attemptto become ono of the centres of scien¬tific authority In medical knowledgein the United States. Dr. Harrison cancertainly not mean that tho State ofVirginia, one of forty-eight componentparts of our country, Is really a unit

| analogous to the German empire. Oer-many has Indeed some twenty-five unl-versifies for her population of G0,-j 000,000, and the sinnllor universities

| hold their own manfully, but Virginiais educationally not on a par with thepoorer provinces of Germany. Ho

| speaks an If the Institutions of Vir¬ginia were meant to servo a popula-

I tlon cut off by such lines from the| surrounding population ns tho bound-nrles that separate Germans fromFrenchmen, Austrlans, Swiss or Hus-sians.As a matter of fact, Virginia Is morn

closely akin to any other AmericanState In need6 and thought than someof the provinces of tho kingdom ofPrussia are to each other, let alono1Germany as a whole. This Is not toargue, of course, that the State ofVirginia should hand over its controlof education to Carnegie boards orany other private corporation, and I donot bellevo there Is any Intention onthe part of the State to do so.What I want to emphasize Is that

th« old notion thnt Virginia Is an en¬tity separable In Ilfo and Interests and

i identity from the rest of tho UnitedStates, whatever it was once, andhowever some peoplo may wish It werestill, is now not lr. accord with facts,Wo must base our educational institu-tiona on recognition of things as theyare.

Again, Dr. Harrison "idduces the au¬thority of Professor Hyrtl, of Vienna,for a comparison between good instruc¬tion In medicine at the "small" univer¬sity of Dorpat, and poor instruction attho great one of Vienna. Ho does notqucto Professor Hyrtl. but tho lan- |guage he uses certainly means that. Iknow very little about the Universityof Vienna, but I do know thnt medicalInstruction nt the University of BerlinIs unexcelled, and If slzo lias causeda degeneration In the medical depart¬ment at Vienna, no such result liastaken place In tho study of philologytliero. Dr. Harrison goes so far asto assert that "tho best educated youngmedical men come from the smalleruniversities and colleges." I have nomeans of judging how far such a Jsweeping observation Is Just, and 1do not assert the contrary. But If Dr.Harrison Intends to draw any suchconclusion with regard to our medicaleducation from tho case of such uni¬versities as Dorpat, I want to remindhim that it is not "small" In the sensethat the University of Virginia Is small.

In 1902 tho University of Dorpat hadI,, 33 stud on ts, of whom 7t!7 were medi¬cal students, over seven times as manya« the medical department of tho uni¬versity at present, and moro than thenumbers of tho Medical College of Vlr-giv.la and the university medical de¬partment put together.As I sco tho question It Is this:

There are now two medical schools re¬ceiving Stato support. They aro com¬petitors with many lavishly suppliedand extremely efficient medical schools,especially those in Baltimore, Phila¬delphia, New York and Boston. Southof us aro fewer and weaker schools.Virginia is In every respcct advantage¬ously situated for a position of lead¬ership In Southern education, especi¬ally. perhaps, medical education. Allover tho country, in spito of tho oppo¬sition of many Ill-equipped medicalschools, private and Stato supported,tho medical schools are being thinnedout, and tho best concentrated InHtrateglc points. The alternatives be¬fore tho University of Virginia medicaldepai tnient seetn to he. either to unitewith the Medical College of Virginia,pnd with tho aid of money from out-sldo sources '(from, which the univer¬sity has already received hundreds ofthousands of dollars), constitute thoonly medical school *of first rank Intho Atlantlo States, south of Maryland,or. on the other hand, to remain aloof,calmly satisfied that the "traditions"and its standing In tho days boforo thopresent world existed, will always besufficient to outweigh anything doneelsowhere, and continue to decrcasowhile tho energy of tho awakenedStato Is poured Into tho Medical Col-lego of Virginia,. For heretofore thouniversity has compoted with two woaklaodlcal nchools In Virginia; Jn tho

future It must compete with a unionof thnso two Into a much stronger ono.Ah I read tho arguments of Dr. Har¬rison they resolvo themselves intothis: "Tho old Ik bettor."When tlio Jury of public opinion inVirginia finally passes on that view. 1bollove It will bring in Iho verdict"not proven."

Co-OrdlnntloD nnd the Student Vote.To the Editor of The Tlmes-Dl3patch:Sir,.Tho open letter of Prof. Charles

A. Graves, which appeared in The Times-Graves, which appeared in Tho Times-Dispatch of December 17, is decidedly

| misleading, based as it is upon a wronginterpretation of statistics. Tho cor¬

respondent states: "It is manifest howmuch smaller the percentage of stu¬dents favoring co-ordination has be-como in the last two years."The only ballot on co-ordination

taken at the University of Virginiaprevious to this year was conductedby College Topics during tho session of1910-11. According to College Topics,out of a voto of over BOO, only twentystudents registered their approval ofco-ordination. A similar ballot engi¬neered by tho same publication threeweeks ago showed, out of a votingstrength of 29S. llfty in favor ofthe proposition.The vote taken at the mass-meeting

In 1912, to which Professor Graves re¬fers, cannot be taken as a fair indi¬cation of student opinion. Tho mass-meeting had been called to considera petition to be presented to the StateLegislature opposing the proposedechemo. Tho document was verbose,and in some places presumptuous. Itreferred to the Legislature as "par¬simonious," and assumed the positionthat student sentiment should bo thosupremo consideration before the legls-lators. Tho question finally turned onthe wording of the petition. Manystudents otherwise opposed to co-ordi-nation, also opposed the petition be¬cause they regarded It as undignifiedIn letter and spirit The auxiliaryquestion beclouded the main issue, andrendered the voto as recorded no Justtest bv which to estimate with anydegree of finality tho bias of studentsentiment.

It Is a general opinion among manystudents at the university that thepercentage favoring co-ordination islarger to-day than two years ago. Thisimpression is fully substantiated bytho recent ballot. A STUDENT.University of Virginia. *

Slo*r Malls to West J'olnt antl Heyond.To the Editor of Tho Times-Dispatch:Sir,.Very Irregular are our mails

from Richmond; no mail from Rich-mond for one or two days weekly forseveral weeks. I wroto to the l'ost-Oflice Department about our mails,and a letter beforo me in reply, states,"that the trouble is entirely due to tholate and Irregular running of theSouthern Railway train No. 74. onwhich mails are handled between Rich¬mond and West I'oint. Wo now havethis matter up with tho SouthernRailway people, in an effort to Improvethe running conditions of this train,and 1 can assure, you everything pos¬sible will bo done in that direction. '

This much is very gratifying, andon Friday last in The Times-Dispatch.I nolo that the Southern Railwaycontemplated putting on a train forpassengers, leaving Richmond at S A,M., arriving in West Point at 9:30 A.M. Leaving West Point 5 P. M., reach¬ing Richmond at 0:30 P. M.

If so, our mall would reach WestPoint iit 9:30 A. M., and connectionsoverland would be nuido all right, Ithink, every day. Again, If this traiuis put on, then the Post-Ofllce Depart ,inent can arrange for all the malls lo jroach Went Point in tlmo for the sam«ito be taken to Richmond on tho 5 P.M. train. Make tho schedules so thomails can get hack to West Point by.1:30 P. M., and then a dally mall toRichmond could be fixed, as well as adally mail from Rlcninond.
