Mitchell VHH't Micht Editor At Nebraska as in many of the schools of the east it has been found advantageous especially from a clin ical standpoint to locate the Medical College in some city that can oiler a greater variety of clinical cases. This condition while to the best in terests of the Medical Colleges has a tendency to create an impression among the students that the school in Omaha is a separate institution. The medical student having once at tended the school in Lincoln and keep ing his interest alive by frequent visits to his mother institution is not so prone to drift away from the reali zation that we are all part of the same University. Because of the fact that so few students in Lincoln are acquainted with the size or work that the Medi cal College is doing we hope that this edition of the Nebraskan will serve to bring about a closer relationship be tween the schools at Omaha and Lin coln. Not only do we hope that we will acquaint the University students with the Medical College but we also hope to establish a more common ground of meeting for the Medical profession and the unblic. For a long time the Medical profession has been considered as a somewhat secluded and mystical group of men. With the present status of education and the need of co-operation between the doctor and the layman it is essential that they have a better understanding of each other. We hope that this edi tion will serve as a step in the edu cation of the laiety as to what the medical profession is doing as well as to acquaint the student body with the magnitude of the Nebraska Univer sity College of Medicine and its stu dent body. There is in the history of every institution an event from which a new growth may be dated. The senior class of the University of Nebraska College of Medicine must be given credit for the new prominence that the Medical College has attained in the life of the university. After a period of depression during the war there was an influx of an unusually large number of students desiring to register in medicine. This large class, many of whose members had cut their course at Lincoln short to enter the army, was forced to develop a Univer sity spirit of it's own and to accom plish that contact with the school at Lincoln that they had foregone on entering the army. This point of view was a new one to the medical school and considerable trouble was encount ered in accomplishing it. However, the efforts of the present senior clays were unceasing and at present the ef forts of the present senior c!a3s were unceasing and at present the Medical College has a definite place in Ne braska activities. The class of '23 was the fist agency to extend Corn husker athletics to the medical school. This allows many of the members of the variou? teams to cotninue their activities although not in Lincoln. Another factor must be considered in a review of the senior medical" class. Because of the size of the class it was found that the various clinical departments of the college could ex tend their work. The result of this was a better system of teaching and the development of more practical men. Following the senior class there have been more large classes to take up the study of medicine. The school has extended its scope of usefulness and efficiency and now holds a coveted place in the riedical world- Nebraska graduates of 1923 are accepting in ternships in the large hospitals in the United States. Many are going east and others are spreading over the entire country.

Of the total pledges to date of $449,175.99, approximately one-fourth have been paid. The total amount collected on tliese pledges is $116, 414.96, from which amount must be deducted all the expenses of the cam paign, and the margin of $50,000 which had to be deposited before the trust companies would put forward the $300,000 needed to award the con tract this spring. The city of Omaha, alumni in sev eral states outside Nebraska, and alumni in foreign countries have yet to complete their stadium quotas.

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE IS ONE OF THE BEST OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD (Continued from Page One). During the first four years those lab oratory sciences are pursued which form the basis for the clinical studies and clinical instruction, with constant reference to the facts acquired from earlier laboratory work. Emphasis is placed on the individual effort of each student, of whom independent and thorough work is required. The college affords ample oppor tunity for thorough instruction. The moderate size of the classes insures close contact between students and in structors. This is of the utmost im portance for an exact knowledge o? the fundamental branches. The clinical work, in sections, brings the indiv ual student close to the clinical in structors, and affords him an oppor tunity to study each case at close range, as well as to secure an unusual nmount of bedside instruction. Degrees Students are urged to add to their preparation an additional year as in tern in an acceptable hospital, or spent in some laboratory. On com pletion of this year's work such stu dents may secure the degree of Doctor of Medicine cum laude. For the degree of Doctor of Medi cine an intern year of at least twelve months spent in an acceptable hos pital is required of all students ma triculating in 1922 and thereafter. The enviable position occupied by the University of Nebraska College of Medicine has been the result of sev eral years' work in perfecting a class A school that will be the equal of any of the more prominent medical colleges of the United States. Taken all in all, the position which Nebraska occupies in the medical world is one of which all Nebraska students should be justly proud. MODERN METHODS PRESERVE HEALTH OF GENERAL PUBLIC FROM MANY DISEASES (Continued from Page One). On the banks of this stream was a abin in which was a case of typhoid fever. The intestinal discharges were iirown in the snow near the stream. When the snow and ice melted in the spring, typhoid fever began to appear. n a few weeks there were eleven '.undred and eighty-four cases with one hundred and fourteen deaths. This indicates the results that may follow arelessness with our water supply. Our cities now expend a consider able amount of money to prevent oc- urrences of this nature. Omaha pumps Missouri river water into a Fories of basins where it is allowed to ettle. Thence, it goes to other basins where alum is added. The alum coag ulates and carries suspended matter with it, just as white of egg will clari- coffee. A rapid sand filter is now nearing completion. As soon as it is ready the water will be filtered after oagulation with alum. Finally, Omaha water is chlorinated. A few tenths of part per million is added as the water enters the city mains. This ;il Is the pathognic bacteria that may :ave escaped sedimentation and filt ration. All of t his work has produced tan gible results. The death rate from typhoid fever in a city lias dropped n every instance as soon as water upplies have been made safe. In the past, the death rates from typhoid ran from one hundred to one hundred fifty per one hundred thousand popu lation. Now it runs from three to ten in our cities. We have more typhoid in rural districts than in cities at present. Control of Food Stuff. Another public health activity is the control of milk and other foods. Vari ous phases of this work fall under ths jurisdiction of different authorities at present. Each city should have com petent inspection and laboratory facul ties to look after sanitary conditions of all jdaces where food Is handle 1. The Un.led States Bure;u of Ani mal Industry inspects all ui'.at an! r.irat products, which may gn into In terstate commerce. This wc-k is de ne very efficiently. All p.rir..als are 'e.-nd for ta'.er'ulosis by the tubercu lin test bef re being slaughtered. The entire carcass is carefully examined as soon as the animal is killed and if diseased either the entire body or the p.arts of it sent to the "tank" to be used in making soap and fertd.er. The Bureau of Chemistry cf the United States .Depnrtmert of Agricul ture controls til other foods and drugs which enter interstate commerce.

It is sometimes un der the direction of city health au tborities and sometimes under direct control of the school board. The lat ter Is probably the better plan In cities htwiiiisf. teachers and school nurses will then usually co-operate more har moniously. There are several important phases of school health work. General hy giene, i. c, location and sanitation of buildings ttnd surroundings, lighting, ventilation, type of desks, etc., is one. Another is physical examination of children. The school nurse can do a vast amount of good work. The reporting of early signs of contagious disease, the teaching of proper care of the teeth, proper habits of bathing, care of the eyes, all raise the general level of health In a community. This in creases its economic productiveness and contributes to its happiness. United States Public Health Service. The United States Public Health Service is carrying on an active cam paign against venereal diseases. Syph ilis especially belongs In this field be cause it may be transmitted by drink ing cups, towels, etc., and because It is a factor in filling our poor houses and other institutions which must be maintained by the public purse. The work of tuberculosis associa tions, baby clinics, milk stations, ma ternity clinics, are all worthy of at tention but must be passed without discussion. In our larger cities many specialized activities have arisen. For example, Chicago and other places have what are nown as "Little Moth ers' Clubs." Many women are forced to work and it devolves upon an older child, perhaps a girl ten or twelve years old to care for several younger children. The clubs teach these older children the best methods of feeding, bathing, and clothing babies and Inci dentally do much educational work among older members of the family. Use of Vaccines. The use of vaccines and serum is an important part of preventive med icine. When living typhoid bacilli gain entrance to the human body, the cells of body manufacture new chem ical substances which protect it against the invading bacteria. At the same time the- latter gives rise to injurious substances. If the invader overcomes the defenses of the human body, disease or possibly death re sults. If enough protective substances (anti-bodies) are formed, the individ ual recovers. In closing it may be well to em phasize the fact that public health is urcliasable. I hat money thus ex pended pays dividends. These divi dends consist of increased economic productiveness and of increased com fort, and physical, and mental well being. SCHOOL FOR NURSES LOCATED AT COLLEGE (Continued From Page One.) An affiliated service of two months with the Omaha visiting Nurses asso- iation gives students in their senior ear immediate contact with public health problems and the benefit of the related theory provided by this or ganization. The Library of the College of Medi cine contains about 15,000 catalogued volumes and as many pamphlets, and receives about 200 current periodicals. The leading nurses journals and a large number of selected text and ref erence books on nursing subjects have been added recently to the library to meet the needs of the school. The School of Nursing was organ ized in October, 1917, as a department of instruction in the University of Nebraska, under the direct ownership and control of the University. The school is under the immediate direc tion of the College of Medicine and is connected with the service of the Uni versity Hospital. The regular course of study leading to the degree of Graduate Nurse covers three years. In addition to this course the University offers a five year combined academic and nursing program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science and to the degree of Graduate Nurse. It is the purpose of the school to develop nurses of the best type. Its university connection and its associa tion with a teaching hospital under university control make it possible for the school to provide the scientific in struction and experience essential in nursing education. iyr.SMMlWi.jmiIMi.tll J LL .k.l iL.HL ...I J 1 I ' '"'TTTlIll : i "He didn't have a card, sir, so he sent in this Magee label!"
