OUR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE An Important Branch of the State University. OVER 8000 WERE TREATED A Complete 8choot and Hospital Operated for the Benefit of tha Entire State Now Has ah Enrollment of Over 300 Students. (By Montague Tancock.) When Nebraska went Into the medi cal business by voting an appropria tion for tho University College of Medicine and University Hospltnl combined value ?G41,250. the hospltnlH operated at n cost of 100.000 a year there may have been some doubt as to the outcome. There isn't any more. Last year In ono department 1,700 operations were performed for Ne braska people- from -nil counties. These operations wero done without charge. If paid for they would havo cost nearly twice $100,000. This disposes of the cost of oper ating tho Institution for tho year. Hero's what Nebraska gets as "velvet" on its Investment. In tho five years that the hospital has been located In Omaha S.823 patients have been treat ed and cared for without charge. This treatment has been given by men and women trained In the Institutions under supervision of tho best phy sicians, surgeons and Instructors In this part of the country. As a result of this care many people who were formerly public charges, maintained at the expense of the country, hnve been cured nnd sent back to their communities capablo of providing for themsclvoB assets In stead of liabilities. Many of Nebraska's future citizens receive 'their first service from the State at this Institution. A children's ward Is maintained, where little ones aro ushered Into tho world and cared for until they and their mothers are strong and well. The children's wnrd la always, filled and Is ono of the brightest spots In tho hospltnl. Tho University maintains a dis pensary In which 20.000 cases wero treated last year. Thoro Is no charge for this service except for those who are able to pay for tho medicine used. Aside from Its humanitarian value this dispensary does much to check contagion and to safeguard the health of tho community. All these services make a good deal of "velvet," but great as they ure, they aro merely by-products of tho great work of the Nebraska Medical College. The primary purpose of the fhstltu tlon Is education. It has grown from one building with 08 students In 1013 until it now has an - enrollment of 817 students in medical courses. G5 In the Nurses' Training School nnd four magnificent buildings housing two laboratories, a hospital, a nurses' home, carpenter shop and power plant. The College of Medicine reached the peak of Its enrollment in 1022 1023. It moots the requirements of the most exacting stnte examinations and licensing boards. Its diploma grants the holder all privileges ac corded graduates of any medical col lego In the United States. Recogni tion of Its high standing In England places Its graduates on the same basis as .graduates of English colleges. The course of study covers 0 years of 80 weeks each. Tho first four years cover laboratory sciences, which Famous Book Character. Harriet Beecher Stowe drew from the story of the life of Joslah nenson her character of Uncle Tom In "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Joslah Ilenson was born a slave In Port Tobacco, Md. ne endured remarkable hardships dur ing his early life, hut In 1828 escnped into Canada and became a Methodist preacher at Dresden, Ont nenson lectured throughout the United Stntes and made three trips to England dur ing the last years of his life. He was entertained at Windsor castle by Queen Victoria. E. It. It. form tho basis of clinical Instruction during the last two. ludcpendcnt and thorough work Is required of each student. Tho state pays tho salaries ot those Instructors who aro regularly with tho college. It pays nothing to many of tho busy practitioners who glvo clinical Instruction to tho students during tho year. Theso Instructors, leaders In their individual fields, although busy with largo private practices, glvo unstlntlngly of their time during tho school year. They serve for tho glory of serving and teaching tho younger generation tho nobleness of n Ufo of service. The University has laboratory facili ties for the study of anatomy, bio chemistry, pharmacology, pathology, bacteriology nnd physiology. Each laboratory Is equipped with all tho apparatus and appliances needed In a thorough study of these subjects. In addition to tho laboratories where students gather their practical experience, they havo tho advantage of the. College medical library of 25,000 volumes and 1200 current peri odicals. They also have tho privileges of tho University library of 105,000 volumes ut Lincoln. For men who must help thcmsolves through school there are also advan tages. The will of the late Clemen tine C. Conkllng provides for tho creation of a trust fund known ns tho "Jotur Rlggs Conkllng and Jennie Hanscom Conkllng Foundation," the Income of which Is used by tho regents of tho University of Nebraska In providing scholarships for desorv lng raedrcnl Btudents. The Omaha Medical College foundation was cre ated In 1021 chiefly through contribu tions received from former professors in the Omaha Medical College. Tho foundation not only perpetuates tho name of that pioneer collego but stimulates an interest In the study of medicine and scientific roscarch. For students who must help them selves to an cducntlon there nro oppor tunities for work In Omaha. The Y. M. C. A. and Omaha Chamber of Commerce often help these students llnd outsldo work.. The nverngo cx penso of the student's school year, Including books, Instruments and fees, Is between $000 and $850. In tho college all Is not class work. Dr. Irving S. Cutter, dean of the Medical College has encouraged an Interest In athletics. Dean Cutter bo Hoves that n healthy body makes a healthy brain. As a consequence of this encouragement nthletes represent ing the medical college have long ago established their worth on the track, Held, basketball and tennis courts. The University Hospital forms the largest and most Important unit of the group t of buildings constituting tho Collego of Medicine. It Is the center around which practically all the activities of tho College revolve, making a close correlation of clinical and laboratory teaching. Tho hospi tal, modern In evory respect, contains 1.10 beds. Wide porches to the north and south on all floors, provide out door accommodations for ovor fifty patients. The hospital Is a compete teaching unit with every convenience for tho comfort and safety of tho pntlents. This building hasn't a dark corner In all Its construction. Tho neatness of tho Interior Is remarkable. Sunlight streaming In from the num erous windows brings out every do tall of cleanliness. The Nurses' Training School1 nt the College furnishes a three-year course to young women wishing to enter this profession. It equips thdm for service In any hospltnl or for private duty. The students receive u liberal education In professional as well as cultural training. Tile new nurses' home under con struction will furnish accommodations for 80 and the school will bo enlarged In its scope. Practical knowledge of tho profession Is gnlned through con tact with hospital activities. All these activities are locatod on the campus of the College of Medl cine. Visitors to these Institutions arc welcomed at nil times. They are conducted through the buildings by guides who will give, out all desired Information. Magnified Trifle. Trifles that amount to little are too frequently magnified and those which really should receive attention are lg nored. This Is because too many men and women lack ability properly to es tlraate tho vnluo of things. Ability to appraise Is at a premium nowadays. Prescription Free to All. There are many troubles which you cannot cure by tho Bible and the hymn-book, but which you can cure by n good perspiration and a breath of fresh air. Beecher, YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS Dut, If True, Thla Young Lady la Very Evidently Not In the Class of Modern "Flappers." A country correspondent of nn Indi ana weekly newspaper, who disclaimed being either a pessimist or reformer, recently wroto ns follows: "Tho other day n man nnd his dnughter from near Danvlllo, Ky., passed through our town on their way to n nenrby village.

We wero especially Impressed by tho natural glrllshncss and sweet modesty of tho young woman. Sho was refined, too, both tn manners nnd dress. Her father apologized for her bashfulncss.
