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.
I believe tho oliicials of tho South¬ern would try ftnd favor tho people Ina large area of country.Counties ofKing and Queen, Essex, Middlesex,Lancaster, Mathews, Gloucester, KingWilliam and Now Kent.population of00,000 and over.
1 ant doing what I ean to have adally mall on tho new steamers onYork River, and from Baltimore,whero now there is only a triweeklynial? on steamers.Give us tho now train to West
Point nnd let tho connections be madeto havo malls back in West Point forevening train to Richmond, and a dallymall to and from Baltlmoro on steam-era! l-Iurry up and havo our Demo¬cratic friends put In the poet-ofilco,
