Excerpt from Jefferson Medical College: A Representation of the Conduct of the Trustees and Members of the Faculty, and Circumstances Connected Therewith, in Relation to John Barnes, M. D., Professor of Midwifery, and the Diseases of Women and Children, in This Institution While on the subject of the appointment of the additional trustees, I will mention another fact, although of much more recent date. When Mr. Humphreys left this city, he prepared a letter of resigna tion, which be handed to Dr. Sutherland, to be presented to the board of additional trustees. While this letter' was still in the desk of Dr. Sutherland, Dr.

Ely, anxious to have as much inuence in the board as obtainable, assumed the fact of the resignation of Mr. Humphreys, and had his reverend friend Mr. Livingston appointed, leaving the letter of resignation to be presented at some future period. The board of additional trustees, during a considerable part of the summer of 1826, were occupied, in violation of justice, with a species of mock-trial in-regard to the then professor of midwifery, Dr. Beattie, which continued until within a short time of the ensuing course of lectures.
