In a recent copy of the Courier I noticed an article calling attention to the vacancy of the old University building and advocating that it be used for a ladies' dormitory. Unquestionably the building should not remain idle. It is likewise unquestionable that a dormitory for young ladies is desirable. But is this building suitable for the purpose? The very object which it is desirable to gain, that of avoiding the necessity of climbing a hill, is defeated by the building being situated upon a still more formidable hill which the young ladies would frequently find it necessary to climb. The situation of the building also exposes it to the bleak winds of winter, the destructive tornado, and the awful cyclone. Surely the mammas of the young ladies will never submit to their daughters dwelling in a building exposed to such perils. If the building is not to be used as a dormitory to what use shall it be put? Among the departments of which the State Legislature has provided that the University shall consist,the Department of Medicine, remains yet unestablished. Aside from the fact, that the laws of the State require a Medical Department, are there not other valid reasons for its establishment? Many young men go east each year to obtain instruction in medicine and surgery, for the great and affluent State of Kansas has not a single medical school within its borders. Within a radius of forty to sixty miles, I am told, (and the same is doubtless true of the whole State) there are many physicians practicing in country neighborhoods and smaller towns, who feel the need of further information in the science of their profession but whose financial resources and the extent of whose practice will not justify their going to eastern medical schools and who could and would gladly spend five or six months in the winter gaining the desired information at a school near home where the expenses would not be so very great. For the benefit, therefore, of the young men of the State who wish to prepare themselves for the medical profession, for the benefit of the people of the State who would receive more intelligent and therefore better medical treatment and care, if instruction be given to this class of physicians who desire it, it seems evident that a Medical Department should be established. Is this a suitable location for a medical school? It is argued that a large city where the advantage of a hospital is to be had and where subjects for dissection can be easily obtained, is the only place suitable for a medical school. The University of Michigan is situated in a small town and yet the medical school there is one of the most popular in the west. The medical department of the State University of Iowa is one of the prominent features of that institution, yet that school is not situated in a large city. The laws of Iowa provide that the deceased paupers from the poor farms of the counties of the State shall be sent to the medical department of the State University for use in the dissecting laboratories. Laws somewhat similar to these exist in this State and whenever these are insufficient they can be easily amended. There are people, many of them, in different parts of this State suffering from various diseases and injuries, who have not sufficient means to pay for being operated upon, who would gladly flock to a medical school where they could receive the best treatment free of charge. The location therefore is not a disadvantageous one. The situation of the building off by itself with rooms for laboratories and lecture rooms point to its admirable adaptation for the use of the Medical Department. Taking into consideration, therefore, the requirements of the laws of the State, the demand for medical instruction, the location and the fact that a building amply fitted for the purpose waits for occupancy, we deem it expedient that a Medical Department be established in the near future.
