Meeting of the Faculty and Students of
the Medical College of Georgia.
A meeting was convened on Monday, Dec. 2fith,
of the Fiuuillv and sludeuls <d lit** Medical Col
lege of Georgia, at Use lecture room of the col
lege, when, on motion of I’rof. L. A. In uas, Prof.
I. I*. Garvin was called to the chair, and W. S.
(’v.vnon, requested to act us Secretary.
i’lio Chainuati, Professor Garvin, briefly stated
the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of
receiving and cordially welcoming to this college
a number of the medical students from Philadel
phia, who, in company with about three hundred
others, had left the North, and were determined
to pursue their studies at medical colleges in the
South.
Dr. 1). A Mat news, one of the gentlemen from
Philadelphia, then arose, and addressed the Kao
ulty and students, in substance as follows :
iteutb uii’n of the Faculty of iJte MLdhtul College
of ije uy a : Allow uie the pleasure of introdu
cing to you this company of southern medical
students—they are a band of brothers—they are
your brothers they are my brothers. Having
done me the honor of introducing them here, l
now ask to present them to you. It is true, I did
not have the pleasure of marshaling them into
ranks iu the city of Philadelphia. I rose from a
ibed of sickness to come, and found them already
ranks, earnestly desirous of coming, and wait
ing for some one,'who, knowing you, gentlemen,
personally, could feel authorised to invite them to
the time-honored ami hospitable halls ot the. Med
u-al College of Georgia. We have acted under a
sense of duty to the South; no other motive
prompted in. There have appeared in the north
ern newsp ipers many reports concerning this
movement ; most of these are erroneous. Much
has also been said about ihe arre -t of medical
students and their treatuieut in Philadelphia,
Our motives for leaving were clearly expressed in
the resolutions passed at our meeting last week;
vc refer you, geutletneti,and the southern public,
tlo them, ay the true exponent, of our feelings and
•or motives. . _ -
w 'flu! ~>if' l ;l Infers have said
much about life action ot th\ Mayor and police
men toward southern studenU>m* m relation to
various other unpleasant happened;
but we lififig fiO coinpiaiuf--we ** o,ie
we left we’uiake none now—and we ihat
those who have remained have no less cirwse of
complaint m these respects, Utah we who
Uirned. We tiave been treated tally as well as” 1 .
'IY Philadelphia sees litio arraign herself, she
has full liberty. Pet tier bring forward her news
paper editors, her stump oiators, and her thousands
ofsoi tutors J.et her make her own court—both
bulge and jury ; and self-arraigned let her pass
sen cnee She has already done it; and her sclf
proDounced verdict is, “guilty, most guilty!” Why,
*heu need we make am accusation?
Let me tell tou, gentlemen, our motives ; they
were these: VVe believe it to he our duty to our
homes, to do all we could tor the institution* of the
South and tor her prosperity, generally; and es
‘ ciftl’lv ai4 physicians, to build up aud encourage
med'ical institutions. To do this, a northern
school was not the place for us a moment longer,
a moment longer we would not remain.
I hope you will allow me here to refer to a few
remarks made last Tuesday, at the Assembly build
ings in Philadelphia, as they clearly set lorth the
•views 1 now wish to present. 1 then said: Ido not
rise for the purpose of exciting the least entbusi
joun iu this nesting. 1 wish to speak calmly on
the subject before ns. We are now entering upon
_ enterprise of the most momentous importance.
A tottering nation will gaze ou our action this day.
1 S av » tottering uatiou. because it is a people
drunk with excitement who are to witness our
movement on this occasion.
Home have prophesied that, m the contempla
tion of such a decided snd significant demoostra
tiou our countrv will part asunder; but I look for
’ cb calamity, as the result i f this enterprise.
On the contrary, l believe it will have a njostsslu
-v effect ou our couatrv. And here, gentlemen,
ut me repeat it to-dav; I believe, more than ever,
t? «t Otir more has much to do with the destiny—
the future continuance of ibis Union. 1 know
ib it actions spfak louder than words; aud when
* assert our rights* bv action*, men will respect
them I believe it is beter far to act than to make
!/,.eecW pass resolutions, or to build platforms.
I iTui tbeii while we make no complaint against
thVcitv ot Philadelphia, or the respective Facul
ies we reiwpe<*ut in this meeting, we now declare
our entire confidence in the abundant capacity of
Southern mediCal achools to instruct us m the sci
ence of medicine.. W* can see no reason whatever
®hv southern medical students should neglect
ithetr borne institutions, atid.come North. J he in-
Slluuons of the South are well prepared to impart
"instruction. They are noble-aptnted, and
, ... . , t
dignified, and only need the patronage of her own
sons to make them appear dignified in the eyes of
the world. ’The South has the material, the brain,
the energy ; and, I repeat it, all she asks is the
patronage of her own people.
It was asked of us in Philadelphia, “ Why can
you not wait until the present session is over, and
then act?” We replied, “ Because now is the time
to strike while southern men are ready. If we
wait until you have given all these men diplomas,
they will hardly do much for southern institutions
when they return home; for it is well known that
physicians are apt to recommend the institutions
in which they graduate to theiu office pupils and
friends generally. Every man is apt to “ hold up”
for his alma mater. We do not wish to be bound
to the North by any such lufluence.”
It was complained to me that we were acting
rashly, and that we were about to afflict the inuo
cent, viz.: the poor boarding-house women of
Philadelphia, and the medical fraterity. I say,
in answer to this complaint, and I hope" I aui not
irreverent, “Philadelphia, ‘the poor you have
always with you,’ take care of them; but such a
proportion of southern medical students you
have not always with you, and if \ve can prevent
it, vou shall never have them with vott again.”
We, 100, hare poor women m our southern cities
that deserve our consideration and patronage.
I<et each of ns, in our respective regions, take care
of our own poor. As to the medical Faculties, we
make no complaint against them; no animosity
btirns in our bosoms toward tltem; I would not
wrongly withhold one dime from thetr {rockets; but
we have southern men fully as ableaud deserving,
and we think it no more than right that our money
should go to them for instruction. 1 would not
treat with irreverence one hair of your Faculties’
heads; but there are southern men whose hairs
deserve our reverence more. I would not lift one
laurel from the brows of these men; but there are
brows at the South just as deserving, and we must
crown them.
Now, gentlemen, lam done. I would have re
mained silent had l not thought that, the South
demands your action and mine, and that of every
man in it to sustain her. I say let every man ex
amine the subject for himself, and act accordingly.
We have already acted. We first examined our
consciences, and consulted our judgments, and act
ed in accordance with their dictates. 1 believe
that no mau among us has done otherwise.
As to the ultimate effect of this move upon our
country, we have fully estimated, and, we think,
rightly appreciated it. lam glad to say that meu
have coincided with us in this opinion whose judg
ment is respected by the whole country. L allude
to many distinguished gentlemen now tu Congress.
Though we did not consult them in this matter,
they say there can he no doubt that the effect will
be salutary, by causing northern men to respect
our rights, aud that u wifi thus more firmly ce
ment the Union. God grant that if Anything of
national importance should result from our action,
above all things, may it be this! As 1 have just
said, we examined our conscience on this subject,
and ou its dictates acted. We did not consult
our parents, our guardians, or our friends. They
were too distant trom us. Ou this account, many
of us, at first, hesitated, and have since had occa
sional emotions of doubt; but wßen stern duty
speaks to the hearts of southern men, and appeals
to their judgment tor their country’s sake, they
will ever act promptly, though northern friends
may attempt to soothe and northern enemies
threaten. Aye, sustained by the conscious
ness of right, even though some southern
friends, perchance our very fathers, may be
doubtful of our course. On this confidence
we are with you to day; we are not all; others yet
are coming ; many more would have left with us,
but they are detained for reasons most creditable
to them as southern men ; it is the middle of the
session, their finances are low', they owe small
sums to various persons in the city and they await
checks; these are worthy motives for their delay;
we can.only regret their absence, and hope for
their speedy coming.
Many told me they would gladly come, but could
not pay their way at this tune; they applied to
me for money, but 1 was not prepared to assist
them ; l had refunded and relinquished the pro
ceeds of my private class in order to come—l was
determined that no man should have cause to im
peach my character after my departure from Phil
adelphia.
Hut. gentlemen, these are but private personal
incidents, which 1 only relate as the sincere evi
dences of our strong determination to be among
you. Let me now, iu conclusion, again present to
yout cordial reception those friends who have ac
companied me. Let. me ask for them now that
kindness and hospitality which, in time pastl has
bound me to you ami to your beautiful city. That
warm reception, that open li arted kindness, the
reliance in which has cheered us all along our ted
ious journey home, and which we now find verified
by this full attendance-these kind, approving faces,
these manifestations of sympathy, the echoes from
these very walls -all crying; “welcome to you,
our brothers-—welcome home!”
Professor L. D. Ford replied as follows :
Mr. Chairman: How unexpected this assem
blage of the officers and students of the College.
We had supposed that the stillness of this hall
would have been unbroken during the festivities
of Christmas. '' ,
llow far different are these circumstances from
those under which tve are uncustomed here to as
semble. We are here, to-dav, faculty and students,
to give our welcome to a body of southern medi
cal students, abandoning a medical college at the
North, in the midst of its course of lectures, to
come home, and in southern colleges to finish that
course. These are a part ot that three hundred
southern students who left the city of Philadelphia
at the same moment. These, leaving many of their
fellows iu the city of Richmond, who are soon to
follow them—these have come on directly to us.
The circumstances of their coming are well worthy
of note; they left before receiving those spontane
ous, patriotic, brotherly resolutions of sympathy
and of invitation, passed by the students of this
college, assuring them of a welcome reception
from its faculty ; and yet, they have come, nothing
doubting as to their reception at our hands. Ah !
sir, they judged ns Ly the warm, unerring instincts
of the true southern heart—they thus judged, that
their reception could be none other than warm,
free, and generous. In thus judging they have
honored both themselves and us—aud you well
know, sir, they judged us rightly,
And now, gentlemen, in behalf of my associates
of the Faculty, a noble set of men with whom any
man would feel it an honor to be associated, l bid
you a hearty welcome to your southern home, and
to the Medical College of Georgia, Talk not to us
coldly of terms; yet this much is necessary; We
will exchange the tickets which you have received
front your Professors in Philadelphia, for our own :
the possession of these will entitle you to all the
rights and privileges of our college, as if you had
paid your dollars and cents; and by tliis'ar
r,increment, we place ourselves in the honorable
poswSmn towards our northern brother Professors,
of dohpg vicariously, their duties to you, which
cireumsKances have prevented them from fulfilling
The fraternally prompts the question,
Why did yoff.come? fn (banking him whom you
have made yoter orgau of communication, for the
high conipliments. paid to southern medical colle
ges, 1 can lav my tiVMid on my heart and honestly
declare mv opinion, that the teaching in the Medi
cal College of Georgia its, m all respects, equal in
value to that of any othef .college' in the country,
and in some respects superior to that of many.
Vet, it is not 1o be supposed that this sentiment
moved you to this course. Nor did we ever sup
pose that you were determined to ibis action by
anv dissatisfaction with the treatment or with the
political opinions of any of your northern Profes
sors. We know better; we know them to be gen
tleman ; we dare freely endorse them as men in'
capable of holding and expressing objectionable
opinions upon those political questions in which
vou, in common with the whole southern country,
feel so vital an interest.
It cannot be concealed, it ought not, that your
action has been taken alone for political reasons.
We recognise this act as a part of that swelling,
surging indignation, which has gone forth from
the universal southern country as from the bosom
of one man—felt by every southern man upon
northern soil, and even there demanding manly
utterance—iudignatioa at ihe invasion of the holy
rights of our hearth-stones and of our very lives,
by those calling themselves our fellow-citizens and
brethren. We hesitate not iu our judgment upon
votir act. Vou’did nobly well. Itr these dark
times, when men's minds are agitated with fearful
political possibilities, you did most honorably, like
true southern men, in instantly coming back to
that portion of your common country, to which,
under these circumstances, you owed your hist
allegiance—to that country which gave yon bo th,
which nurtured you in its bosom, whose glowing
sun has burned into you a genial, generous con
stitution-you did well, thus to return to your
homes, either amid quiet scenes to study, or, if
needs be, to fight.
Vou did still better by this act, in doing the best
for the best interests of your common country—
that country, which, in its unbroken integrity,
glands forth the light of the world - the brightest

hope of the enthralled nations of the earth—the
last hope of humanity for the realization of ration
al, permanent, eivil government.
This decisive action of the noble three hundred
will have done more for the perpetuation of the
Union than folios of resolves from the Legislatures
of every southern State ; it speaks to those great
conservative masses of our northern brethren, de
manding them to rise, in their strength, and put
down among themselves that handful of wild fan
atics, who are ready to desolate our homes with
fire and sword.
Dr. A. S. Johnson, of Florida, in behalf of the
medical class, said :
Wl Southern Student* from the Medical Colleges of
Philadelphia — Gentlemen: Upon your recent ant
val here among us, allow me on this occasion, in'
behalf of the present class of the Medical College
of Georgia, to congratulate you for that true
southern spirit which so grandly characterised
your decorous departure from the uncongenial
clime of a northern professional brotherhood; and
also for that wisdom you have mauifested m so
commendable a manner, in giving choice to a
southern school to complete your course ot medi
cal instruction.
In compliance with a long continued, and not
unusual custom of southern men, from the purest
motives of interest, to wit: for the sake of profes
sional acquirements, being induced by the reported
superior facilities of northern schools, you inno
cently gave patronage to those you considered
brothers of one common country. You have been
deceived, sorrowfully, sadly deceived. Instead of
that common politeness due strangers from any
clime, and especially that kindness due brothers
of a distant common country, you have received
nothing else, from the very moment of your arri
val there, perhaps, but the cutting insults of Aboli
tion prejudice.
They have insulted you in their halls, in their
pulpits, and iu their streets, as if you were at all
responsible for the peculiarities of" southern insti
tutions. You have acted honorably, gentlemanly,
brotherly; instead of aggravating" those evil ten
dencies which threaten our Union and our peace
forever, by the like niggardly and dastardly re
torts upon them for their gross insults, you have
bidden them a quiet adieu, and sought refuge and
a native asylum iu southern schools.
Convinced that you have acted most noblv, in
deed, aud that the move will redound to the good
of the whole South, we throw open our doors, our
windows, and onr domes, and welcome you to our
halls, our homes, and our hearts. Rest assured,
gentlemen, that you occupy, by this very act of
your recent movements in the North, a still" higher
place than ever, m our affections. Rest you, too.
gentlemen, that we do not offer you the mere for
mal greeting of practical lips; but cheerfully, unit
edly, one and all. we offer you nothing short of a
spontaneous outgush of southern sympathies, gen
erated in the purest recesses of southern heaits.
VVe extend to you the hand of fellowship, and
warmly welcome you into onr ranks.
The Medical College of Georgia is big enough,
ample enough, and southern enough, to afford yon
protection, sympathy, and affection, while you
sojourn among us.
Ouce more: As they have evinced nothing but
impure and sinister motives at the North, from the
very manner and moment of their cowardly and
undermining aggressions, we fear uot to say," gen
tlemen, that we stand on the side of peace, religion,
and true republicanism ; aud that ob such a plat
form we can and will be led victoriously over any
such sneaking incendiaries.
While we are in favor of union in legislation, we
are also in favor of union in social and commercial
action, union of hand, head, and heart, for without
there is no union in peace or safety.
Then, gentlemen, we are with you, hand, head
and heart; and with our best wishes for your suc
cess in your professional aims, we again bid yon a
cordial welcome to the halls of the Medical College
of Georgia.
After other brief remarks from Dr. Marshall, (on
the part of the Philadelphia students,) and from
Professors Campbell, Jones, and Ford, the meet
ing adjourned.
