The students find in its columns an ever open opportunity to express the nselves, on the condition that such expressions be signed. More than a half dozen student journals have been started since 1891, and their fates have varied, some having survived, while others, for various reasons, have already become a part of the past. XVhile in the beginning the journal was strictly a student's paper, circumstances have demanded that this idea be mod- ified, inasmuch as so large a number of the alumni have manifested so pro- nounced an interest, therefore enlargements have from time to time been made, so that at the present fifty-six instead of twelve pages are found within its covers. To be sure this shows a growth which has, however, been made with greater difficulty than it seems ought to have been experienced. There surely can be no better field for a medical publication than exists here at Rush, with her large and influential Faculty, her 800 students and 6,ooo alumni. Upon such a staunch institutional foundation, the journal of Rush Medical College, filled with clinical reports of her superior amphitheater clinics, timely articles written by her most able instructors, special interesting cases reported by members of her numerous alumni, and a more liberal contri- bution of notes by the students, can be made second to none other of the land. No existing special department need in any way be neglected, but all can be emphasized and improved, some, however, more emphatically correspondingly than others, and when circumstances demand new departments, space can be given as it has been to the well conducted alumni and athletic departments. It is very evident that a very large percentage of the existing medical journals are published and pushed by a collection of men as a personal adver- tisement, or by some corporation to get their goods before the medical world, and consequently lack dignity and tone in appearance, with a wrong aim, such it does not seem ought to be the foundation upon which any medical journal should restg but instead of that there should be a common tie that would hold together a sufficient goodly number of individuals and supporters, contributors and readers of a journal published for their especial interests and enjoyment. Such a foundation it seems belongs to THE CORPUSCLE, and by real experience have the many obstacles of the past been removed, so that the present is but th: door or epoch to a hopeful future. XV. D.
