The other public buildings noted on the diagram are only such as hap- pened to fall within the plat which was necessary to show the relative loca- tion of all buildings connected with the State University.
In 1882 a Dental department was added to the University, with a com- plete faculty and curriculum of its own. And a school of elocution and oratory was added to the collegiate department.
The present working capital of the University is about $220,000, and the estimated value of its unsold lands, $15,600. In addition to this the University receives by law $20,000 annually from the State, and biennially an appropriation from the legislature for needed buildings and general

improvements. The annual income from various sources is estimated at $55,000.
PREPARATORY SCHOOLS.
The University does no college preparatory work. This is done by minor institutions; and up to 1881-82, the following schools through- out the State had established an adjunct preparatory relation with the State University, so that their graduates will be admitted to the Univers- ity freshman class without further examination:
The Public High Schools of Anamosa, Bellevue, Burlington, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Charles City, Clinton, Cresco, Davenport, Des Moines (West), Greene, Hampton, Independence, Iowa City, Keokuk, Marengo, Marshalltown, Mason City, Muscatine, Onawa, Oskaloosa, Tama City, Waterloo (East), Waterloo (West).

Total of annual salaries, 1881-S2 $40,797
In addition to this sum for salaries, there was expended in the same time, for supplies and incidental current expenses in the several departments the sum of $8,330.
The above items, together with the fact that the University brings from six to seven hundred students to be fed and clothed in Iowa City every year, will serve to show how largely and intimately the business welfare of the city and surrounding country are dependent on the University.
The number of students in 1881-82 was, in-

During the year 1874-75 there were 623 students in the University- seniors, 33; juniors, 36; sophomores, 37; freshmen, 40; sub-freshmen, 187; not in course, 90; law department, 106; medical department, 94. Of the whole number, 140 were female students.
In the collegiate department, from 1860 to 1877 inclusive, the total num- ber of students was 2,994 ladies and 3,941 gentlemen. And this will show about the usual proportion of male and female students in this department. In the law and medical departments, of course the ladies are in much smaller proportion.
At the opening of the fall term, 1877, there is a published record of the church preferences of the students, as follows:
Episcopalian, sixteen; Christian, twenty-three; Congregational, seventy- five; Catholic, nine; no preference, fifty-three; Lutheran, two; Baptist, thirty; Universalist, five; Presbyterian, sixty; Unitarian, one; Methodist, seventy-five; United Brethren, one; United Presbyterian, five.
WHERE WERE THE BOYS?
It is an interesting historic incident to note, that for several years of the great war period there were more girls than boys as students in the Uni- versity. But this is easily explained by the fact that the young men of the State were so largely drawn upon to serve in the nation's grand strug- gle for its life. In 1863 there were 124 of the University students serving as soldiers in the Union army. The following table will serve to show how the proportion of the sexes ran at this time:

The war was over; the boys had returned from the army; the pursuits of peace again held sway; and from 1866 onward there were more male than female students, as there also had been before the war.
TOTAL NUMBER OF GRADUATES.
In 1858 there were six graduates from the University-one from the col- legiate department, and five from the normal department. This was the first year that any students received diplomas. In 1859-60-61-62 there were no graduates, except from the normal department, and in 1873 this department was discontinued. [The State Normal School at Cedar Falls not established until 1876.]
The following table shows the total number of graduates from the dif- ferent departments of the State University, from the first year, 1858, up to June, 1882:

LIBRARY.
The general library was estimated, in 1881-2, to contain about 14,000 volumes, and the special libraries of the several departments, about 2,500 volumes-making a total of 16,500. Twenty-five newspapers, comprising dailies, semi-weeklies, weeklies and monthlies, are regularly donated to the library and reading-room. [See chapter on “Newspapers and Libra- ries."]
MERCY HOSPITAL.
June 25, 1873, Drs. J. C. Shrader and E. F. Clapp submitted to the county board the following:
"1st. That through the munificence of the board of regents of the State University, the west half of the block in Iowa City heretofore known as the Mechanics' Academy, has been set apart for hospital purposes, to be
396

managed by the members of the medical department of the University and by such members of the regular profession in Iowa City as may be necessary to insure the successful operation of the same. The nursing to be conducted by ladies especially educated for the care of the sick and known as the Sisters of Mercy.
"2d. To guarantee the successful operation of the hospital it is necessary that the county agree to pay for six patients per week at the rate of four doÏ- lars per week, each patient, throughout the year, and at that rate per patient, per week sent there by the county.
"There are in the Insane Asylum from this county quite a number of insane patients that could be returned to their own county for treatment.
"From a financial and humanitarian standpoint we ask your aid in ope- rating this institution.
"The pay for the six patients to begin with the opening of the hospital for the reception of patients.
"Ordered, that further consideration of the subject be postponed to Sep- tember session."
September 5, Drs. Shrader and Clapp again reported to the board:
"The undersigned, representing the medical faculty of the State Uni- versity, and acting in behalf of the regents and the medical profession of Johnson county, do respectfully represent that Mercy Hospital, now in process of preparation for patients, will soon be completed, and ready for their reception, and in view of the cost of its erection and maintenance and the public benefit conferred thereby, we do ask of your honorable body that it, for the county, undertake to maintain in the same six (6) beds at the same rate now paid out of the public treasury for the support of patients in the Institution for the Insane."
"Pending consideration of the same, Supervisor Morsman presented the following resolution, which was adopted:
"Resolved, That the auditor is herby authorized to contract with the medical depatment of the Iowa State University for the proper care and maintenance of the two insane paupers now confined in the jail of this county, and as many of the insane now supported by this county in the Insane Hospital at Mt. Pleasant, as in the opinion of the superintendent of said hospital may be removed from that institution without endangering their prospects of recovery. The price to be paid by the county shall in no case be more than $3.20 per week for each insane pauper, nor more than is charged at the time at Mt. Pleasant, which sum shall cover all expenses for said pauper, including board, care, nursing, medical attend- ance, medicines and all incidentals except clothing, which last named arti- cle shall be furnished by the county."
"The county shall have the right to terminate said contract at any time, when, in the opinion of the board of supervisors, the paupers are not properly cared for."
The citizens of Iowa City have donated freely to the fund to start Mercy Hospital, giving $3,900. The city gave $600, and the contribu- tions from citizens swelled the sum to nearly $4,000.
The hospital is under the care and supervision of the order of the Sis- ters of Mercy. The Medical department of the State University of Iowa uses a large frame building adjoining the hospital, and all medical treat-
397
HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
ment and surgical operations are given free to patients of the hospital. The inmates simply pay the "Sisters of Mercy" the expense of board and nursing. The expense of light, fuel and repairs to the hospital is borne by the State, and is under the control of the board of regents of the State University. Dr. E. F. Clapp, Dr. J. C. Shrader and Dr. C. M. Hobby are the physicians connected with the hospital. The average number of patients as near as one physician can guess, is about 900 a year. The hospital has a bedding capacity of forty beds, all neatly arranged and kept in proper order.
Dr. W. F. Peck, of Davenport, Dean of the State University Medical Faculty, says " Mercy hospital is a State institution;" and yet when we sought access to its records, and had obtained consent of all other persons officially concerned, he thrust in some sort of a cranky objection; and lo! the official records of a " State institution " were locked against the fair and legitimate uses of history. As we understand the case, he was afraid that our use of the records for a " History of Johnson County " would make it appear to be a county institution instead of a " State institution."
The city and county records show that Mercy Hospital was established by the energy of Dr. E. F. Clapp, assisted by Dr. J. C. Shrader and the voluntary contributions of the city and her citizens. The hospital is not under the control of the Catholic Church, as has been stated and generally believed, but under the control of the Board of Regents of the State University, and superintended by the order of the Sisters of Mercy, who are especially devoted and consecrated to the divine work of ministering to the sick, and watching with the dying, to soothe the last hours of mor- tal suffering with woman's tender care.
Mother Baremeo was the first Sister in charge of the hospital. The Sister now in charge is Sister Mary Isadore.

HISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
Before proceeding further with the list of Johnson county graduates, an episode of history must be here noted, which forms an historic way- mark in the progress of "the woman element" toward its rightful recogni- tion and influence in the public affairs of State and nation. Prior to Jan- uary, 1876, three women, to-wit: Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Clinton, Mrs. Anna C. Savery, of Des Moines, and Mrs. Mary Emily Haddock, of Iowa City, had been formally admitted to practice as attorneys in all the courts of Iowa, the State supreme court included. But no women had yet been admitted to practice law in any of the Federal or United States courts in all our broad domain. And it remained for the State of Iowa, the county of Johnson, the city of Iowa City, the law department of the Iowa State University, the law class of 1875, and Mrs. Mary E. Haddock, to carry the honor of being the first lady attorney ever admitted to the rights and privileges of a practitioner at the bar of a Federal or United States court. Mrs. Haddock's certificate reads as follows:
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT-DISTRICT OF IOWA. 1 S
CERTIFICATE OF ADMISSION.
Be it remembered, That heretofore, to-wit: At a term of the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Iowa, begun and holden at the city of Des Moines, in said district, the Hon. John F. Dillon, Judge of said court, presiding, on the twelfth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy-five, EMMA HADDOCK having made application to practice law in the Circuit Court of the United States, district of Iowa, and it appearing to the court, the applicant possesses the requisite qualifications, and also having taken an oath to demean herself as attorney, etcetera, of this court, uprightly and according to law, and to support the constitution of the United States, was admitted an attorney, counselor, solicitor, advocate and proctor of this court.
J, Edward R. Mason, clerk of the United States Cir- cuit Court aforesaid, do hereby certify that the fore- going is a true transcript of the record of said court.
GREAT SEAL OF THE COURT.
In witness whereof, I hereto set my hand and annex the seal of said court at office in the city of Des Moines, the twenty-first day of January, A. D. 1876, and in the one hundredth year of the Independence of the United States of America.
EDWARD R. MASON, Clerk, C. C. U. S. D., Iowa.
The next day after Mrs. Haddock's admission, the Des Moines corres- pondent of the Chicago Tribune (L. F. Andrews, Esq., a graduate in the law class of 1866, and who was for some years secretary of the State Board of Health) wrote concerning the historic event, and his article was widely republished in New York and elsewhere. From it we quote a passage:
Yesterday (Oct. 12, 1875,) Mrs. Haddock was admitted to practice in the United States Circuit and District Courts of this State-the first case
401
IIISTORY OF JOHNSON COUNTY.
of the kind in any State of the Union. She is the wife of Judge Had- dock, and a woman of fine culture, who graduated at the law department of the State University with high honors. She is highly esteemed also for her many womanly virtues. With Judge Dillon, reared as he was under Iowa progressive ideas, it was easy to grant the boon and welcome woman into a new field of labor; with Judge Love, an old Jacksonian Democrat, with all the name implies, it was quite a step in advance to welcome to the bar of his court (the United States District) a woman as an attorney. But the judge is a man of eminent pratical good sense, wise enough to accept the inevitable with good grace and becoming dignity.
