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.
