T H E QUADRIMESTER PLAN IN T H E COLLEGE OF M E D I C I N E The following statement: It will be remembered that the Trustees authorized the administration of the College of Medicine for the present year on the quadrimester plan, providing for a continuous session. This action of the Medical School was much criticized by the representatives of other medical schools, at a meeting of representatives of such schools held in Chicago in June, and some doubt was expressed as to v/hether the University had the approval of the Surgeon General's Office in this action. So intensely did some of the medical men feel about the matter that Dr. J. M. Baldy of the Bureau of Medicine of Pennsylvania secured the elimination of our College of Medicine from the list of schools recognized by his bureau. (22)
