NOW SHOWING
"Early Medicine in Michigan" was
the topic of a lecture given today by
Dr. Frederick A. Coller, director of
the department of surgery in the Uni-
versity Hospital, over the University
Broadcasting Service. This lecture
was a continuation of the "Michigan,
My Michigan" series of speeches.
Starting his description of the his-
tory of medicine in Michigan with
the Indian, Dr. Coller enumerated the
stages which medicine has under-
gone.
Pioneer Doctors Ingenious
Little is known, Dr. Coller said
after describing Indian contributions
to medicine, about the present of
physicians with the French during
and after the settling of Michigan,
but during the period of British oc-
cupancy a number of physicians were
, practicing in Detroit.
When the tide of immigration into
Michigan set in after the War of
1812, the pioneers brought in with
them the pioneer doctor, Dr. Coller
continued. At this time, the pioneer
doctor secured his training under the
old apprentice system. Thus, he de-
veloped an independence of spirit and
a self-sufficiency in his methods, cop-
Ing with all the problems of the sick
and injured with native ingenuity.
Dr. Coller said. This originality and
individualism of effort accounts for
many of the achievements of Ameri-
can medicine, the speaker pointed
out.
Beaumont Case Is Example
With their meager knowledge, es-
pecially about infection, the pioneer
doctors could not combat the terrible
epidemics then so frequent, Dr. Coller
said, describing attacks of cholera
and smallpox taking place at the
time. "The frontier doctor, however,
was capable of great achievement in
science," Dr. Coller added, pointing
to the example of William Beaumont,
a surgeon in the United States Army
stationed at the Fort on Mackinac
Island. Beaumont's research was one
of the landmarks of medical history,
dealing with the process of digestion.
Medical education in the United
States up to the time of the Civil
War was in a chaotic condition, the
speaker said. "Michigan was the first
state to recognize the importance of
professional education in medicine."
Dr. Coller declared, describing the
founding of the Medical School,
which was the first one in the United
States to offer a laboratory course
in medicine.
Michigan's Record Honorable
Dr. Coller described also the foun-
dation of the Medical School at the
Wayne University continuing with a
description of the passing of laws
which compelled doctors to procure
licenses after an examination.
"Hospitals and trained nurses did
not form a part of early frontier med-
icine," Dr. Coller stated. He described
how gradually they took their place
in the public health system today,
telling also of the foundation of
training schools for nurses, and men-
tal asylums.
"From first to last the record of
medicine in Michigan has been an
honorable one," Dr. Coller concluded,
"honorable to the individual physi-
cians who have labored obscurely and
then gone their way, honorable to
the citizens who have provided medi-
cal education for the young men and
women of the state, and especially
must we honor the citizens and law-
makers who have founded and per-
petuated the institutions and activi-
ties to maintain health."
Local Chapters Of
Walton Club Unite
Amalgamation of the Ypsilanti
chapter of the Izaak Walton League
with the Ann Arbor chapter and elec-
tion of officers was carried out in a
joint meeting of the clubs yesterday
in the Ann Arbor High School.
Offcers elected included Otto K.
Schefflersof Ypsilanti, president; Prof.
Earl C. O'Roke of the School of For-
estry and Conservation, vice-presi-
dent; and Wilfred Raglin of Ypsi-
lanti, secretary-treasurer.
A program for the coming year
was also adopted by the new Huron
Valley chapter. Conservation of the
natural resources of streams and lakes
will be the object of this program,
as well as enforcement of existing
trespass, game, and fish laws.

With the proposed sewage disposal
system and water softening plant fi-
nally provided for, one of the most
Pressing needs of Ann Arbor and
Washtenaw County is a remedy for
a growing shortage of space for ad-
ministrative offices, according to May-
or Robert A. Campbell.
Agitation for an ample city-county
building has arisen intermittently
over a period of years, with a short-
age of funds putting an end to the
proposal each time. The City Coun-
cil has at times progressed as far as
the drawing of architects' plans for
the building, and has even acquired
options on real estate desired for the
project, but final approval has never
been granted.
City Hall Is Inadequate
Even under the liberal grants of the
present Federal relief agencies for
municipal improvements the project
has been voted down because of dis-
sent and a general dislike of borrow-
ing Federal funds, according to the
mayor.
The need for office space in the
city hall has finally become so press-
ing that plans for an addition to the
building involving an expenditure of
$80,000 were submitted to the Public
Works Administration in Washing-
ton more than a month ago, and are
awaiting approval.
The plans contemplate the addition
of another 44 feet to the south side
of the present city hall, to provide
more space for the city clerk, city en-
gineer, city health department, and
other municipal officials.
Extension Is Planned}
The extension will have the same
height as the present city hall, two
stories, for 24 feet, and the additional
20 feet will consist of a garage to ac-
commodate the four cars of the police
department and additional equip-
ment.
Illustrating the need for this addi-
tion, Mayor Campbell pointed out that
the Saturday morning free clinics of
the city health department have to
be held in the cold and inconvenient
council chamber because the appli-
cants overflow the small office of the
health officer. He stated that the city
engineer's office is occupied mostly1
by equipment, and that the city clerk's
force spends a good part of its time
climbing and descending the stairs
between their first floor office and
the files in the basement.
Two of the cars operated by the
local police, moreover are continuous-
ly outdoors because the small wooden
shed which now serves as a garage
will not accommodate them.
For the addition the city will make
use of the space now occupied by the
police garage and driveway, and a
private garage beyond it on which
an option is held.
Even so, Mayor Campbell con-
tinued, the problems of housing the
municipal governments will not be
solved. The city hall, built in 1907,
is the newest of the municipal build-
ings here, with a county courthouse
built in 1877 and a dilapidated fire
station built in 1882, both of which
should, according to the mayor, be
replaced by new structures for the
sake of efficiency.
City-County Building Proposed
In the courthouse, for example, half
of the north corridor was recently
partitioned off to make an office
shared by LaVerne O. Cushing, chair-
man of the board of auditors for
Washtenaw County, and Fred C.
Haist, county poor commissioner.
The mayor's plans for a city-county
building, in which the cooperation of
Ypsilanti and other municipalities
in Washtenaw county would be en-
listed, call for a building occupying
the greater portion of the block
bounded by Huron Avenue, Ann St.,
Fourth Ave., and Fifth Ave., where the
fire department is now located.
The proposed city-county building
would then house the offices of the
city and county, including the police
and fire departments, bit not the
sheriff's offices or the jail, which are'
now adequately housed in the new
building at the corner of Ann and
Ashley streets.
The building could be completed,
"However," he concluded, "A city-'
county building is definitely out of
the question for the time being, both
from the financial standpoint and
because of the temporary relief the
addition will furnish when and if it
is approved."
