Excerpt from The Report of a Committee of One, on the Official Life and Administrations of the Hon. William S. Stokley, Mayor of the City of PhiladelphiaAmong the civil acts of the Mayor in 1873 to which notice is called because of its relation to the recent excitement on that subject, is a message sent to Councils, September 9th which directed attention to the illegal issue of medical diplomas, and asked the passage of a resolution requesting the Attorney General of the State to proceed against the Medical University of Philadelphia.That bogus doctor mills, which have been of incalculable harm to our renowned colleges of medicine and surgery, and the disgraceful cause of foreign official complaint to the general government, - were allowed to continue their villianous frauds for the past seven years, is not the fault of our Mayor.Another message, sent October 3oth, in this year, is worthy of note, as another illustration of his prescience. Preparations were being made for the approaching International Exhibition, and numer ous applications were submitted for the erection of temporary frame houses, the Mayor's warning said: Every additional wooden build ing will be a tinder box needing but a match or a cigar light, to endanger the whole neighborhood, and I do solemnly conjure you to forbear.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
