Accordingly, a charier was applied for aud obtained from the Legislature ol the State of .Georgia, in the year 1838. But eut' rprizes of this kind require more than a mere charter, more than energy and industry. Medicine cannot be taught with out proper buildings, proper illusiratious in the various branches, good museums of physiological and pathological specimens, a good chemical apparatus, and such like. So active iu obtaining it did dol procure the means mentioned above as indispensable for the proper teaching of medicine. But as the city continued to increase iu population and resources, the advantages of a Medical College in our midst began to be canvassed amongst our medic it men. As an individual, I myself had often la mented the deficiency whilst I was a young practitioner. Although 'in 1838 I was uoi included iu the programme of the Professors to be inaugurated under that charter, yet the scheme always had my approbation aud sup port. It was not until 1852 that any aciive measures were taken to use the charter granted. The credit of taking the initiatory step i due to my lamented friend. Dr. J. Gordon Howard, so lately cut off from us in the vigor of bis intellect and his manhood. A majority of the Trustee; named in the charter were alive aud resident iu our city, (t was determined by the following medical men : Drs. P. M. Kollock, R D. Arnold. W. Qt. Bulloch, C. W. West, H- L. Byrd, E. H, kartiu, J. G. Howard, und J. B- Read, to ask the Trustees to organize them as a Fac ulty, in accordance with the powers vested in them (theTrustees; by the charter; these S entlemen, at the same lime, pledging them- elves to erect a suitable building und to pro vide all.apparatus neces.-ary for instruction and illustration. These gentlemen did not comprise the whole medical profession of ecity.. There was a remainder, respecta ble in position, and equally as high in pro fessional reputation as the applicants for the ■irivileges of the charter. These gentlemen rdently and earnestly protested against the lection ot the applicants to the several Pro- Essorebips which had been previously agreed ipon. They asserted that the charter in re- lity was the common heritage of the entire sedical profession of the city. In vain was 1 replied, “If you lour opponents) will, as we urselves have done, offer to put up bulld ogs and provide apparatus, we will theu go efore the Trustees on our respective merits- charter was given to promote the, cause ioal education.

T say is in no spirit of vindictiveness, but sim ply iu the light of a I rue record. Yet (aud the acknowledgement on my part is certainly a proof of my sincerity in what I have just ^d) such was tbe power and standing of our opponents, that the Trustees refused to act on the ground that the difference of riews aud opinions amongst the medical pro- .sssinn of Savannah rendered it improper for them to decide, and so the affair was left like Mahomet’^ coffin, hanging bet ween earth and heaven. ’emen named before were deter- ave a Medical College.

Iu vain w ould he plead that he was qot bound to know anatomy, because bv tbe laws of Georgia, he is forbidden to gel possession of a dead, inanimate, senseless human careass, and to dissect it in order to learn anatomy. ■The public and the law givers say you must learn, white they take away the only means of learning, viz : the careful dissec tion of the dead human body. I feel th&nk- •ul and hopeful for our present prospects. The -great §*ateof New York some years «inc? legalized dissection, by directing that the bodies of ali persons dying in public hospitals which should not be claimed ior interment witbin a limited time should be appropriated to the medical profession for anatomical purposes. New York has al ready felt the benefit of this wise provision, a provision which has for so many years prevailed in- France and made Paris tbe great centre of medical science; for New York hi fast assuming a front rank in tbe profession and bids fair to snatch tbe well earned laureis of Philadelphia from her. « Louisiana, do doubt; somewhat guided by her Freneh associations, has lung had tbe same provision in her Code. .The whole profession knows that no where were better pod mors thorosgbly prepared physicians graduated than Item the New Orleans iCboolsr Let ua trust that the grovelling uperstition of the middle ages will, after a ‘ -white, cease to influence our Legislature on our engravings and paintings for Hlustraliofl, Obi's important subjeet. oar anatomical preparations, our pathologi- .
