Excerpt from The Brown Alumni Monthly, Vol. 5: June, 1904, to May, 1905 It is a matter of recent tradition that the eventual extinction of the school was brought about by the rather unpleasant ending of the following prank: One day some students discovered in front of the building a barrel containing some mate rial for the dissecting room. They car ried it out to College street and, giving it a good start, sent it rolling down the hill. Gathering impetus, the barrel went speeding on, until it finally brought up with a crash against the old town house at the corner of Benefit street. Armless trunks and trunkless heads were strewn in every direction. It is not known what punishment was meted out to the perpetrators of the trick, or even whether they were ever discovered, but it is needless to say that the unpleasant consequences resulting from the inquiry that followed brought public attention to the lack of discipline that existed in the school. When Dr. W'ayland entered upon his duties as the new president of the uni versity in 1827, he brought with him very decided views upon college disci pline. Acting under his inspiration the corporation voted in March, 1827. That no member of the faculty Should thereafter receive his salary unless he occupied a room in the college buildings throughout every term and devoted himself to the preservation of order among the students as well as to their instruction. The medical por tion of the faculty, being physicians in active practice, of course could not com ply with such a condition, and were in reality compelled to withdraw from the faculty. The medical school was thus allowed to suffer sudden extinction. Considerable protest against this rather summary method was made at the time.
