T IIE Philadelphia University of Medicine and Sur
gery was organized in ISIS. Chartered by the
Legislature, February 26. 1S53. Name changed by a
legislative enactment to the Eclectic Medical College of
Philadelphia in ISfiU. In 1663 it purchased the Penn
sylvania Medical College, established in 1842, and the
Philadelphia Medical College, which had previously
been merged into the Pennsylvania-Medical College.—
In 1S64 it purchased tho Penn Medical University. Tho
Trustees of the separate schools nritod, petitioned, and
obtained a special act of the Legislature, consolidating
theso institutions and changing their names to. that of
the Philadelphia University of Medicine and Surgery,
March 15, 1S65. All these various acts are published
in the statutes of Pennsylvania. The cost of the build-
| iug and museum was over one hundred thousand dollars.
! It will bo observed that tho University, as now organ-
! i7ed, is the legal representative of the tour medical col-
! lege* that it has absorbed. It i» * liberal 'school of
j medicine, confined to no dogma, nor attached to any
medical clique ; but embraces in its teachings every
thing of value to tho profession.

mencing on the 1st of October, and continuing until the
1st of January as its first session, and from the 1st ol

stituting one full course of lectures. It has also a sum
mer session, commencing the 1st of April and continuing
until August, for the preparatory branches, snch as
Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, Chemistry,
Anatomy, Physiology, etc.
Tickrt*.—Tickets to thq fall course of lectures $126,
or $00 for each session. For the summer or prepara
tory course, $25. Graduating fee, $30. To aid young
men nf ngderate meant, the University has issued f.re
hundred n*holat ship*, which are sold to first-course
students, for $75, and to socoud-course students and
clergymen for $50, each constituting the holder a life
member, with tbo perpetual privileges of tho lectures
and all the teachings of the school. Tho only addj
tional fe * are a yearly dissecting and matriculating
ticket, enrh «f which is $5, -

REPORT OF THie COMMITTEE
Jo the days of gloom, through Which our
beloved Stalo is now passing, wo are call-,
ed with unwontpd frequohey, to -record
and to-lament the, death of her wisest,
best and most nseiu] somt. To that ever-
lengthening catalogue we corno now, with
heavy hearts, to add tho name nf Joseph
Henry Lumpkin—a name to which even
well putped titles can add neither.’bistro
nor dignity—a name which, during many
years, lias-not failed to awaken honest
pride in all true Georgians’ .hearts—pride
still unditninished, though saddened by
the consciousness that it no longer has a
plaoe on tho rolls of tho living.
A nativo-of Georgia, ho was educated in
her seminaries until, when far advanced
in thecurioulum of. our University, adverse
events Temporarily closed its doors, and
drove her youth to seek instruction abroad.
Then, with honor to himself and his Stqlo,
he completed his collegiate course at Nas
sau Ilall, at a time when that venerable
institution confessedly maintained a high
stuntferd of scholarship. Returning home
with the prestige of collegiate honors, he
devoted to tho study of tho legal profess
ion a mind of acknowledged superiority,
already trained to severe application, and
quickened by an earnest, and laudable am
bition to do good and to acquire lame.
Arrived at manhood, and admitted to
tjio bar in tho year 182-, ho entered zeal
ously upon the.practice, ,qf v his_nroifccsion.
But liis fellow'cttizena‘of Ogtetliorpe, the
county of his residence, quick to disern tho
power ho wielded, and tho virtue that con
trolled it, promptly demanded his services
in the councils ot tho Stale—no slight dis
tinction bestowed by a constituency accus
tomed to ho served by a Crawford; a Cobb,
an Upson and Gilmer. When he entered
the legislature, that noble Roman, George
>1. Troup, worthy successor of Oglethorpe
—grand exemplar of executive purity and
ability—held tho ottice of Governor. Ac

Ho took that for a pretty good.hint and

A Strange l-at.
Pat Malony, better known by the name
of Father Pat, on returning home from
work, ono evening, was met at the gate by
'Biddy, bis better half, in a high stale ot
excitement.
“ Pat,” says she, “ there’s a strange cat
in tho cabiu."

Grouping in the mind those qualities—
physical, mental and'moral—we shall bo
prepared to appreciate his power as an
advocate—a«power which impressed and
moved as well the'-learned us tho simplo
—a power, under whose magie spell jurors
obliviouaof thestorn authority of the bench,
have at times sprung from tbeir seats
electrified, and, at others, have uttered-au-
dibto response to his stirring appeals.
'His practieo was oxtensivo, successful
and lucrative.. If he did not amass wealth
it was because ho- valaed money chiefly
for its uses, prominent amoDg which he
ranked the ritos of hospiiality and .the de
voirs. of' charity. Notwithstanding bis
.ability,-and 'tho frequent success he achiev
ed "in the forum, iio took dotigit in adjust
ing controversies and ending litigation by
accord—a beautiful finish jo the toute en
semble of the truly great barrister. —
Thus passed, after.a brief •dalliance with
politics, (the young lawyers’s artful sedu
cer,)'twemtv years of arduous, unremitting
toil, with the too common result of failing
health. -This-suggested, as.a matter.ot
duty, the immediate realization of a long
chcrish'ed dream of foreign travel—and
abroad he went. Thus, completely disen-
lhru|lcd of business, ami of care—thread
ing the stfculsand art galleries of renown
ed cities, and roaming over historjo fields
and classic grounds—with his remarkable

health and to strengthen him for the work
of future years.
In tbo fall’ of tho year 1845, Colonel Lump
kin returned to his native.State, but not
to resume as h« contemplated,■ the prac
tice oHiis profession. J ust at that time
tho State of Georgia had cornu tardily lo
the establishment‘of a Supreme Court, to
tho end that the law might bo uniformly
and correctly administered. This court
was constituted of threo Judges. To Col.'
Lumpkin, as the fit occupant of the highest
position oh llias bench all eyes turned.
To it he was called, not admitted. Thrice
re elected on the expiratiun of successive
terms, he- never encountered opposition,
never, looked in; the faco of a competitor,
the strongest competition would but have
served to dcvelope his superior strength.
In the Chart there was mode bylaw no titu
lar distinctions among its members. - But
the incumbents w.ore elected first for terms
of six, four and two years, severally, each
subsequent election to be for a term of six
years. The eleptivo body assigned to
Colonel Lumpkin tho longest term, and
this was the distinction conferred on him.
Ilis associates gracefully yielded to him
the Presidency, thus confirming his claim
to precedence. Bat whilst,-Ju the course
ofTime,-the seats on eithe sfBef of him re
peatedly changed occupant*, the same ven
erablo torm steadily holding tho center,
came to bo regarded as the impersonation
ot the court. So entirely did this idea
porvade the public mind that the Legislu
ture, at length, made him hy title, as ho
had Bver heen in fact, Chief'Justice of tho
Supreme Court. ’ ~
Trained in the law, of which he was a
close student, .by a practice extending
nearly or quite through a quarter of a cen
tury, lie came well prepared to the bench.
Perfectly famiiitir with the well settled
principles of common law, equity and eri

it was in this period that-Josepli Henry
Lumpkin appeared in tho General Assem
bly of his native Stale, carrying with him
a reputation rarely .attained so early in
life, and encountering such competition as
we have Indicated,-he'passed bravely and
successfully through tho ■■ ordeal, wining
new laurels und gathering around him a
host of friends who, with intoxicating
plaudits, cheered him on in what they re
garded a splendid political career just
opening. A's a parliamentary debater,
he evinced varied knowledge, vigorous,

ing Hi ono so you fig., IJb was fairly before
the public, and all-the auguries promised
signal success. ' Ilis legislative career,
however, wus 4 very brief, limited to two

he was both prompt and accurate in his

In that first, most'essential requisite of

a passion. If ever ho yielded reluctant

Chief Justice Lumpkin’s, loro of law, ns
H -ciqnco,.had still another development.
Whilst engaged in an extensive and ardu
ous practice, he usually had a class of stii-.
dents, and after In's accession to the henrif,-
he was called to tho law professorship in
our University, which ho filled with dis
linetion to the end of his days Many dis
tinguished members tif-the profession, 'and
many more risingybung lawyers of Geor
gia and the adjoining States, aro proud to
claim him as their Gamaliel.. Ho enjoyed/'
moreover, tho peculiar gratification (for
such it was).of having for a time, as an
associate on the bench, one'bf bis-owri pu
'pits—thus gathering-in the efficient aid-of
this'esteemed coadjutor, brqkd himself had
cast upon the waters may yfars before.
In the private and social relations, where
tho greater virtues and warmer affections
find scope—where tho guiding mind and
loving' heart exert cortrol’ without the
sanction-of law—Chief Justico Lumpkin’s
position assumed tho patriarchal type.
He was a husband and tho? lather .of ma
ny children. Would to God thie syrmiathy
*of the brotherhood here assembled and ru
presented could minister consolation to
the survivors ot that desolated household !
"With profound respect, we tender’ the
fering and intrude no further on the so-
credncss of family sorrow.
Within the limits of Georgia, wherever
he Appeared, numerous friends rose op. to
welcome him. He was a man to know
whom was. to lovo him. Nohe turned ac
quaintanceship to better account, for mu
tual enjoyment or udvantage. He had for

stofea_of knowledge .from books, and. from,
intercourse with mon, hia conversation was

enjoyed and freely- promoted, in sncial’
converse, that chastened mirth which,
-while it lifts from the heart the burden
of care, inflicts no stiiig and instills no.

' The bonevQlonco and charity of the
Chief Justice wore manifested as well by
g ersonal act* a« associated enterprises. His
apd was in-all concerted movements lor
the dissemination of knowledge, the im
provement of public morals, or the relief
of suffering poverty. Fow have coutrib
utod as much of persevering effort, or
positive influence to the temperance re
form, which, for many years, so palpaply
diminished tho greatest moral pestilonuo
of tho age.
Thus far, in an imperfect sketch of n
pure and elevatedcharacter, we have pro
sented it sb built up and moulded by a *ys
tom of severe morality. But tbo most rigid
and searching code of human ethics neces
sarily falls abort of producing the highest
type ot mnn, because, it is, itself, the
work of man, in his fallen estate. Divin
ity alonocan restore to him even thesem
blance of its own lost imago.
Chief Justico Lumpkin was of a nature
too earnest—too far reaching—not to be
think himself of the ■ wonderful dispensa
tions which bring human nature under the
retie winginfluehoe of that Divinity, begin
ning with regeneration, -and effecting a
change in the aspirations, tho motives, the
ends and the aims of tbe subject.
Tothisschoineof redemption, quitonhorc
human invention, our departed brother^ in
good faitb, and with a resoluto purpnsc.
made an early surrender of himself. Jle '
became a sincere, dovoled Christian, and
thus attained tho highest standard of earth
ly excellence. Ho was a pillar in that
branch'of tho Christian church which re
juiced .in his membership. Not only was
his a life of active usefulness, but from its
quiet and tranquil aspects there were daily
emanations of salutary influouco.
The committee reccomoicnd the adop

tico Lumpkin wo recognizo the loss of a
most worthy citizen, a Christian gentle
man, an. eminont jurist, whoso memory
and example we wquld perpetuate, to the
end'lhul bis “ good .deeds may live after

from generation to generation. .
Resolved, That wo respectfully tender
to.bis beroaved widow and children tho
heartfelt sympathy of the bench, and bar,
and officers of tho Supremo Court of Geor
gia,, whoso reverence und affeotion .be so
well deservod and so long enjoyed.
Resolved, That iu token ot these, wo
will, during thirty duys, wear for biut the

Resolved, That the clerk of this court he
requested to -preparo and keep open tor
