A Great Opportunity.
There is in prospect the establish
nient in North Carolina one of the
largest and finest medical colleges
and hospitals m the entire country
one that will take rank with
Johns Hopkins, Jefferson and Har
vard. And this is to be made pos
sible by the generous gifts of the
Dukes, the Rockerfcller Foundation
and our own State's appropriations.
For some time the University
trustees have been considering the
establishment of a four-year-course
medical department. The need was
keenly realized. But it was also
realized that it would require a
huge sum of money. Last week
inst. n the trusteps committee were
' on the point of meeting in Raleigh
to further consider this matter, a
proposition was sumbitted by Dr.
VV. P. Few, of Trinity, to President
Chase, of the University, whereby
Dr. Few offered to turn over to the
State a million dollars for building,
and three millions for an endow
ment, provided the State furnish a
similar amount and with this
build a great medical college for
ALL the state. The only string at
tached was that the college should
be built at Durham (not Trinity).
There would be no control by Trin
ity!: or any denominational college,
but absolute control would be vest
ed in' the STATE, with the trustees
to be appointed by the Governor,
irrespective of College affiliation.
In order to insure the maintaining
of the required scholastic standing,
the presidents of the University,
Wake Forest, Trinity and Davidson
would be members of the board, the
remainder, as stated, to lie appoint
ed by the Governor. And, as stat
ed, it would not be on the trinity
campus, or connected with Trinity,
but simply in Durham, probably in
connection witli Watte hospital and
would be known as the North Caro
lina Medical college.
The first report sent out last week
concerning the proposition was that
it was to be a joint affair between
the University and Trinity. This
was wrong; had it been the former,
the question of mixing State and
Church would have instantly arisen.
But since the plan is now undcr-
. stood, there is no kick or objector
in fact, such big men as President
Poteat and Dr. Paschal, of Wake
Forest, and other prominent men,
such as President Binford, of Guil
ford, heartily concurring in the
plan.
It is a great opportunity for our
boys to receive a medical training
at home, and at the same time have
established in the center of popula-
- "tlon'ffTrettt - clhTiPaltiospitat -where
, hospital treatment can lie received
practically without charge.
I The Richmond County Alumni
assoeiation of the University, in an
imal session Wednesday night, ap
proved enthusiastically the proposi
tion, and so wired Presidents Chase,
Few and Governor Morrison.
The Louisiana Affair.
Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, is
figuring prominently in the public
eye just now. It seems that last
August a large mob, disguised- in
sheets and masked, seized four men
of the town of Mer Rouge, carried
them into the woods and after
severely beating two of them turn
ed them loose. The other two did
not return home: people later be
came suspicious that the two had
been killed. Last week the Gover
nor of Louisiana ordered two com
panies of troops to the town and
started a search for the two missing
