    tr-a & i/S\ BY. * STATEMENT^^iV A statement of the facts connected with the late re-organization of the Faculty of the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College, together with a Documentary History of said department, from its origin to the present time. A pamphlet, thus entitled, has issued recently from the press. It is not in truth as it purports to be—a statement of facts. On the contrary, it conceals, many facts most material to an understanding of the truth, and perverts, others to such a degree that they are no longer suggestive of the truth. We had desired, not to invite, public notice, to what many would regard—although erroneously, as only our private griefs —and hence, we have hitherto borne silently, so far as the public are concerned, the injuries inflicted upon us—waiting for that sure vindication and exposure which time, as it uncovers the hypocrisies, and tricks, and deceptions of men, must at last work out for us. We have not been permitted thus to keep the even tenor of our way; for by the publication of this statement not only is insult added to the wrong already done us, but we are com- pelled to reply, lest silence should be understood to mean acquiescence, and thus that which is both untrue and unjust, be supposed to have received our sanction. The Pennsylvania Medical College owes all which gives value to its franchises, or character and weight to its degrees, to our weary toils and anxieties, and those of three associates. One of them (Dr. Atlee) yet lives, and a statement impressed with the weight of his name and character will be found in the appendix to this pamphlet.
