Medical Colleges: 1861-62

(Concentrating on the eastern colleges where most of the Army and Navy surgeons were trained)

In presenting to the Students and Profession our annual list of Medical Colleges, we regret to say that it is necessarily incomplete, on account of the civil war, which cuts off all our communication with the Southern States. We have accordingly given the Northern Colleges more space than formerly, quoting, for the most part, the language of the circulars.

The session for 1861 will commence on Thursday, the 14th of February, and continue to the last of May.

Fees.—The fees for admission to the several courses ot lectures, payable in advauee, are $55. The Graduation fee, including the Diploma, is $18. Matriculation or Library foe, payable but once, $5. Pupils who have attended two full courses of Medical Lectures, one of which has been at this school, are admitted to all subsequent courses, without payment of any lecture fees.

Students who have attended two full courses at other regular Medical Institutions, are required to pay one-third of the usual fees for admission to their first course of Lectures at this school, in addition to the Matriculation fee.

Graduation.Students, and particularly candidates for a degree, are examined either daily or weekly on the subjects of the lectures. The examinations for the degree of Doctor of Medicine are held by the Faculty of Medicine at the close of the course of lectures, and also on the second Monday before the annual commencement of the College, which occurs on the first Wednesday, of August- The candidates must have devoted three years to their professional studies under the direction of a regular practitioner of medicine. They must have attended two full courses of medical lectures in pome regular, incorporated medical Institution, and the last course previous to examination must have been at this Medical School. They must deposit with the secretary of the faculty satisfactory certificates of having pursued their medical studies for the required term, and of possessing at the time of examination, a good moral character. They must also pass a satisfactory examination in anatomy, physiology, surgery, chemistry, materia medica, pharmacy, obstetrics, and the theory and practice of medicine. They must also read and defend a thesis or dissertation on some medical subject, in the presence of the faculty of medicine. As the faculty adhere to and teach, as the foundation of all true medical science, those great and leading principles which have borne the test of time, and have the support of the highest and best authorities, none whose views and principles of practice are found to be radically at variance with these, can be recommended by them for a diploma. Those candidates, who have not received a collegiate education, must satisfy the faculty of their proficiency in the Latin language and in natural philosophy. Degrees are conferred at the close of each course of lectures, and at the annual commencement of the College in August. A fair copy of the thesis or dissertation must be deposited with the Secretary of the Faculty at least ten days before the commencement of the examination at the close of the lectures. These copies are preserved in the medical library; and it is required that they should be written on paper prepared specially for the purpose of binding them into volumes.

Practical Anatomy.—Material for dissections will be abundant, and will be furnished at cost; with all needed assistance, gratuitously rendered, by the lecturer and demonstrator of anatomy.

Clinical ADVANTAGE.—Frequent opportunities will be afforded to the class of witnessing surgical operations. All examinations in the presence of the class are made without charge, and all operations are performed without charge, except to those abundantly able to pay. The surgical cases and operations, before the class, increase in interest annually. The surgical clinic is attended on Saturday mornings by Dr. Conant, the first half of the term, and by Dr. Childs the last half.

The fifty-fourth session of the School of Medicine in the University of Maryland will commence on Monday, the 14th of October, 1861, and end on the 1st of March, 1862.

Clinical Advantages.—For the purpose of Clinical instruction, the School enjoys the inestimable advantage of possessing a capacious hospital of its own. The Baltimore Infirmary, in the immediate vicinity of the College, has been greatly enlarged by the present Faculty, and is under their sole charge and control. This institution contains a hundred and fifty beds, and receives into its wards every variety of acute and chronic diseases, thus furnishing an abundant and never-failing supply of cases for Clinical study. During the sessions daily instruction is given at the bed-sides by the Professors of Surgery and the Principles and Practice of Medicine; and this system of teaching is continued through the remainder of the year by other members of the Faculty, for the benefit of all matriculates of the School who choose to attend. Of the utility and indeed indispensable necessity of Clinical training as a part of medical education, the Faculty are thoroughly aware. They furnish it without charge; they advise and exhort their pupils to frequent the wards, and observe for themselves the character and treatment of diseases; and they admit to examination no candidate for graduation unless he produce evidence of his attendance at the hospital.

Practical Anatomy—The facilities afforded by the School for the study of Practical Anatomy are all that the most diligent and zealous student can desire. Anatomical subjects are supplied in abundance, and at moderate expense. The rooms are open from the beginning of October; and, as they are lighted with gas, dissection can be pursued in the evening as well as during the day.

Microscopical Anatomy.—The important science of Microscopical Anatomy is not neglected. The Faculty have placed in the Museum three excellent Microscopes, and have at their command one of the largest microscopical collections in the country, containing specimens of all the tissues and structures entering into the composition of the body. These are placed under the Microscopes, and changed as occasion requires. They are at all times open to the study of the students. The Faculty take pride in saying that they were the first to introduce into the country this method of studying Histology, a science which it is almost impossible to master, unless the opportunity is afforded of seeing for one's self.

Fees.—The fees for attendance on Lectures are, for Surgery, Chemistry, Materia Medica, Anatomy, Principles and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, fifteen dollars each; Practical Anatomy, ten dollars.

No charge is made for the clinical ticket.

A limited number of students will be permitted to reside in the Infirmary as clinical assistants. The fee is one hundred dollars per year, payable in advance.

Matriculation fee, $5. Graduation fee, $20.

Graduation.—Candidates for graduation must have attended two courses of Lectures in this school, or one in this after one in some other respectable Medical school.

Every candidate must deposit with the Dean of the Faculty, on or before the 14th day of February, a thesis of his own composition on some subject connected with me

dical science, or a clinical report of not less than six cases of disease, drawn up from his own observation.

Every candidate must appear before the Faculty for examination on the various branches of Medicine taught in this school. He must also produce evidence of attendance, during one session, on Practical Anatomy and Clinical Medicine.

The regular winter course of lectures at this Institution •will begin on the first Wednesday in November, and continue seventeen weeks. The duration of the winter course of lectures, which is now announced, has not been augmented. But, on the other hand, a Summer Term has been established. The Corporation of Harvard College, at the instance of the Medical Faculty, authorized the Tatter to extend the term of instruction, for students who desire it, throughout the year. This arrangement was carried into effect four years ago; and the faculty have been gratified to find that this policy, of the advantages of which there can be little doubt, has since been formally recommended to the colleges by the American Medical Association. A detailed account of the lectures and recitations of the summer term can be found in the annual announcements of that term. During the period of the lecture term, it is the aim of the Professors to present theoretically, clinically, and in the operating room, a comprehensive and illustrated view of the important, scientific, and practical details of medical and surgical science. This course of lectures is complete in itself, and is in fact the usual winter course of medical colleges.

Clinical Advantages.—Instruction is given at the bedside of the patient in the wards of the Massachusetts General Hospital, by the Professor of this branch, who is one of the attending physicians of the Hospital He also gives clinical lectures, in the lecture room at the Hospital. Dr. Bowditch will give special attention in his wards to Auscultation and Percussion. Students will thus have an opportunity to become acquainted with the most approved modes of examining diseases of the heart and lungs.

With the object of facilitating the clinical study of disease, an arrangement has been made with Dr. Abbot, admitting physician to the Hospital, by which students are enabled to be present at the examination of out-patients, who present some of the most interesting phases of disease, particularly Diseases of the Skin, but who are not admitted to the wards of the Hospital

By arrangements also with the managers of the Boston Dispensary, the medical class are admitted to the medical and surgical practice of this large charity. More than eight thousand patients are treated annually at the Dispensary. An extended opportunity is here afforded for the clinical study of diseases of the skin, of syphilis, of the eye and ear, as well as of ordinary cases. Clinical Surgery is taught at the Massachusetts General Hospital by Dr. Bigelow. Operations occurring at the Hospital are performed in the presence of the class. These operations are explained, and the points in surgery which they illustrate are dwelt upon at length, by the Professor, in his general as well as in his clinical lectures. Students are enabled to examine for themselves the surgical cases which are to be found in this large metropolitan Hospital.

Surgical Operations.—Especial attention is directed to the great number and variety of Surgical Operations performed weekly at this Hospital.

Society For Medical Observation.—In connection with the Professorships of Theory and Practice and of Clinical Medicine, and with the assistance of Drs. Bacon. Abbot, and Ellis, the older students meet once a week for the reading of cases and for criticisms thereupon. These meetings form, in fact, a Society for Medical Observation. From the interest heretofore exhibited in them by the older students, the Professors cannot forbear recommending them as one of the important features of this course of college instruction.

Practical Anatomy.—Anatomical material is abundantly furnished, and at a very moderate cost. The Demonstrator will attend daily at the dissecting-room, and superintend the dissections. The dissecting-room is lighted with gas, and every facility afforded for becoming thoroughly acquainted with the anatomy of the body.

Warren Museum.—The magnificent hall of the "Warren Anatomical Museum is opened to students for the inspection and study of the specimens, under the direction of Dr. Jackson, the Curator.

Library.—The Library contains a large collection of modern medical works, and many duplicates of the best Text-Books. Yearly additions are made to the library, which is open to students.

Eye And Ear Infirmary.—An excellent opportunity is afforded to medical students for the clinical study of diseases of the Eye and Ear, at the Infirmary, which, by the liberality of its medical officers, is accessible, without fee during their visit in the wards.

Chelsea Hospital.—Dr. Davis has kindly consented to allow students to visit the patients of the Chelsea Hospital. Students will find here, among other subjects for study, a large collection of venereal diseases, and of diseases of the skin

Fees.—Fees for the Lectures at the University, $80: Matriculation fee, $3; Graduation fee, $20.

Surgical And Medical Clinics.—These Clinics are among the most valuable and extensive means of instruction afforded by the College. Patients are examined and prescribed for in the presence of the class, and subsequently (unless already in the care of some medical practitioner) assigned to one of the students, by whom they are attended at their own houses during the interval, and presented at the College on the next regular clinic day, when the result of the treatment is seen, and such further directions given as may be necessary. There will also be four Clinics in each week, viz.—A Surgical Clinic, by Profs. Parker and Markoe, every Monday, at 11 A.M.  A Medical Clinic, by Prof. Clark, every Thursday, at 11 A.M.  A Surgical Clinic, by Dr. Detmold, every Wednesday, at 2 PM.  A Clinic for Females, by Dr. Swift, every Friday, at 2 PM. The Lectures given in this Course will not interfere with those of the Regular Session. Students who matriculate in the College are entitled to attend the Preliminary Course without extra charge.

Practical Obstetrics.—Each advanced student in this College has one or more cases assigned to his exclusive care, and many thus become practically familiar with this important branch in all its details. Should any abnormal or difficult case occur, the student has the privilege of sending for the Professor of Obstetrics, who then takes charge of the patient, and embraces the opportunity of giving clinical demonstration of the most approved method of treatment.

Practical Anatomy.—A large and commodious apartment is provided in the College for Practical Anatomy. It is admirably lighted and ventilated, and abundantly suppiied with gas and Croton water. It will be opened early in October^ and continue open until the following April.

Attendance in the Dissecting-Room, and on the Demonstrations, is optional with the students; but they are earnestly advised to avail themselves of the opportunity. Material for dissection is supplied in abundance, and at a low rate; so that every student can go through with a thorough course of dissection. Demonstrator's Ticket, $5, which admits the student to the Dissecting-Room.

Preliminary Term.—The preliminary term for the ensuing Fall Season commenced on Monday, Sept 23, and continues four weeks. It will consist of a series of lectures on subjects which, in' the present state of national affairs,

are of the highest importance to every student and practitioner.

The Trustees and Faculty of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College announce, with great pleasure, the establishment of this institution on a basis which they feel assured will command the approbation and warm interest of the medical profession of this country.

Organization.—The College was organized early in April, 1861; the departments of instruction instituted; a corps of thirteen Professors appointed; and measures taken for the speedy erection of a suitable college building within the spacious and beautiful hospital grounds. Instruction has already been inaugurated in the College by a course of lectures on Military Surgery, by Prof. Hamilton, and a series of lectures, with demonstrations, by Prof. Wood, on subjects of importance to army surgeons preparing for the field. These lectures were given in the latter part of April and the early part of May, and were attended by a class of over two hundred medical students and practitioners.

The objects which led to the establishment of this College will guide the Trustees and Faculty in its management. These 'objects are, the development of the vast resources of the Bellevue Hospital, together with the associated public charities, and the complete application of these resources to the various branches of medical instruction. The plan is to combine, to the fullest extent, thorough didactic with demonstrative teaching. This is to be done in the most effectual manner only by establishing medical schools in connection with large hospitals. Some of the most distinguished of the European schools are thus connected, and this plan has recently been adopted in this country, but in no other instance on a scale so extensive as by the union of a Medical College with the Bellevue Hospital. The lectures in all the departments being given in the Hospital or within the hospital grounds, loss of time in going to and from the hospital will be saved to the student; there will be no encroachments of didactic and clinical instruction upon each other, but, on the contrary, arrangements will be made to secure to each its appropriate relative claims. The Professors in all the practical branches being either Visiting Physicians or Surgeons to the Hospital, subjects pertaining to Surgery, Obstetrics, Therapeutics, and the Practice of Medicine, can be amply illustrated by cases in the hospital wards simultaneously with their consideration in the lecture room.

Clinical Advantages.—The annual report for the year 1860 shows that during the year eleven thousand four hundred and eleven patients were treated in this Hospital. At the end of the year nine hundred and twenty-six patients remained in Hospital under treatment. The number of discharges during the year was nine thousand four hundred and seventy-two ; and the number of deaths one thousand and thirteen. The Hospital receives medical and surgical cases of all descriptions, excepting the contagious eruptive fevers, cases of every variety of accident, and women in pregnancy. During the year 1860, the number of births amounted to four hundred and seventy-four. During the same year six hundred and two police and accidental cases were received, and one hundred and forty-nine coroner's cases. Of the thirteen Professors composing the Faculty of the College, all save three are connected with the Hospital as Visiting Physicians or Surgeons. Medical students are admitted to the hospital wards daily during the hours appropriated to clinical instruction. Surgical operations are performed in presence of the class. Abundant opportunities are afforded for being present at cases of labor, and of witnessing obstetrical operations when these are required. Autopsies may be made before the class when desired, the dead-house containing a spacious lecture room designed especially for this purpose. In carrying out the plan of combining didactic with demonstrative teaching to the fullest extent, the Professors in the different departments will generally be able to illustrate important subjects as they occur in the regular courses of instruction, by cases selected from the hospital wards, and by post-mortem examinations. The phenomena of disease, as manifested in the living and the dead body, will be demonstrated in immediate connection with the consideration of the subjects to which they relate.

The Blackwell's Island Hospital, which has recently been erected, is a splendid edifice, nearly as large as the Bellevue Hospital. It contains at the present time about a thousand patients, a large proportion of whom are affected with chronic diseases. Here arc collected several hundred cases of syphilis, presenting all the stages and multiform phases of tins disease in both sexes. Chronic affections of the chest are numerous. This Hospital has lately been placed under the charge of the Medical Board of Bellcvue Hospital, and is, in like manner, open for clinical instruction. Students attending the Hospital at Bellevue will have the privilege of attendance at, the institutions on Blackwell's Island without expense—the means of conveyance by steamer being provided by the Commissioners.

The Small-pox Hospital is situated on Blackwell's Island. This Hospital received three hundred and twenty three cases during the last year. Students desiring to observe cases of small-pox will here have an abundant opportunity.

Museum.—The Hospital Museum, together with the large private collections of Prof. Wood and other members of the Faculty, will be available for instruction. The additions being constantly made to the Hospital Museum will ere long make this inferior to none other in the number and variety of morbid specimens.

Botanical Garden.—Arrangements have been made for the establishment of a Botanical Garden on Blackwell's Island.

Practical Anatomy.—The study of Practical Anatomy can be pursued to any extent. This study having been legalized in the State of New York, and amply provided for by law, there will be no lack of material, which will be furnished to the student at a trifling expense. Dissections will be superintended by the Demonstrator of Anatomy, under the direction of the Professor of that Department. Commodious, well-lighted, and well-ventilated dissecting rooms will be provided, together with everything requisite for the convenience and comfort of the student. Dissections may be prosecuted during the preliminary term, and during the whole of the regular term.

Prizes are offered by two members of the Faculty, Professors Wood and Mott, for the best preparations relating to Surgical Anatomy, to be competed for by students in any of the Medical Schools of New York and Brooklyn. The prizes offered by Prof. Wood are $50, and a diploma, for the best preparation, and $25, with a diploma, for the one ranking second in excellence. These prizes are adjudged by the Professors of Surgery in the different schools.

The prize offered by Prof. Mott is a complete case of surgical instruments of the value of $100, for the best preparation.

Preliminary And Regular Terms.—The preliminary term will commence on Wednesday, Sept. 18th, 1861, and continue to the beginning of the regular term, viz., four weeks. The regular term will commence on Wednesday, Oct. 16th, 1801, and end early in March, 1862.

Preliminary Term.—The arrangements for lectures, etc., during the preliminary term, are designed to render this term not merely a nominal, but an actual extension of the period of instruction. While it is not deemed advisable at present to require attendance during this term, students are earnestly solicited to attend, and sufficient inducements, it ia hoped, will be found in the amount and practical importance of the instructions which will be provided. Clinical teaching in Surgery, Medicine, and Obstetrics, will be as full during the preliminary as during the regular term, and, in addition, at least three lectures will be given daily by members of the Faculty. The subjects of the lectures have been selected with reference to their importance in a practical point of view.

Among the subjects which will be taken up during the preliminary term, are, Organic Affections of the Uterus, by Prof. Taylor; Uterine Displacements, by Prof. Barker; Inflammatory Diseases of the Uterus and Appendages, by Prof. Elliot; the Thoracic Viscera^ by Prof. Childs; Auscultation and Percussion, by Prof. Flint; Syphilis, by Prof. Hamilton, Surgical Affections of the Genito-Urinary Apparatus, by Prof. Wood; Endosmosis and Exosrnosis, and their Practical Applications, by Prof. Dorcmus.  In addition to the preliminary and regular terms, a course of instruction will be given during the spring and summer months. Seasonable notice will be given of the subjects, etc., of this course.

Regular Term.—During the regular term, the lectures will be so arranged as not to interfere with attendance in the hospital wards. Ample time will be allowed for accompanying the Visiting Physicians and Surgeons in their daily rounds, attending clinical lectures, and witnessing surgical operations in the hospital amphitheatre, without compromising didactic instruction in any of the branches. Clinical and demonstrative teaching constituting the great feature of this College, the arrangements will be such as to render the immense resources of the Hospitals available to the student to the fullest possible extent.

Graduation.—The requirements for graduation in this College are—twenty-one years of age; three years' study with a regular and respectable practitioner of medicine (or practitioners), inclusive of the time of attendance at medical lectures; attendance on two full courses of lectures, the last being in this College; proper testimonials of character; an acceptable thesis in the handwriting of the candidate, and a satisfactory examination in each of the departments of instruction. The Faculty of this College consisting of thirteen Professors, it is proper to state that candidates for graduation will be examined in Surgery and Obstetrics, respectively, by one of the Professors appointed in each of these departments.

Fees.—The aggregate fees for tickets to all the lectures during the preliminary and regular terms are $105. Tickets for one, or any number of the departments of instruction, may be taken out separately, the fees being proportionate to the number taken. The fee for a ticket admitting to all the lectures during the preliminary term is $10. This sum will be deducted from the aggregate fees for the whole session ($105) if tickets to the lectures during the preliminary and regular terms are taken. Matriculation fee, $5; Graduation fee, $30; Demonstrator's ticket, $5.

The hospital ticket will admit the student not only to Bellevue Hospital, but to the Hospital on Blackwell's Island, and other charities under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners. Students who have attended two full courses of lectures in other accredited schools will be admitted to all the lectures for $50. Students who may attend two full courses in this College, or who attend one full course in this College, and have attended one full course in some other accredited school, will be required to matriculate only. Payment of the fees will in all cases be required, and tickets must be taken out at the commencement of the term.

Appointment Of Resident Physicians And Surgeons.In The Bellevue And Blackwell's Island Hospitals.—The Hospital Staff at Bellevue and Blackwell's Island Hospital includes twenty-two resident Physicians and Surgeons, who are appointed annually, after an examination and recommendation by the Medical Board of the Hospital The resident Physicians and Surgeons are provided with comfortable quarters in the Hospital, and receive a salary sufficient for their support.

Special Courses Of Instruction.—In order to meet the wishes of medical practitioners and students who may desire fuller or more minute instruction in certain subjects than can enter into the regular courses of lectures, special courses will be given during the session, by members of the Faculty, to private classes. Prof. Hamilton will give private instruction in the application of splints and bandages. Prof. Flint will give practical lessons m auscultation and percussion. Prof. Doremus will form classes for practical exercises in Toxicology. Instruction in Microscopy will be given by Prof. Flint, Jr.

The terms, etc., for these special courses will be announced during the session.

The session for the Medical Lectures begins early in October, and ends early in March ensuing. The commencement for conferring the degree of Doctor of Medicine, is held by a special mandamus of the Board of Trustees, during the month of March.

Graduation.—The following are the rules in force in relation to the degree of Doctor of Medicine:—The candidate must have attained the age of twenty-one years, have applied himself to the study of medicine for three years, and been, during that time, the private pupil for two years, at least, of a respectable practitioner of medicine; the candidate must also have attended two complete courses of the following lectures in this Institution:—theory and practice of medicine; anatomy; materia medica and pharmacy; chemistry; surgery ; obstetrics, and the diseases of women and children; institutes of medicine. Medical students who have attended one complete course in a respectable medical school, where the attendance on two complete courses is necessary to a degree, where the same branches are taught as in this, and which is placed upon the ad eundem of this school, are permitted to become candidates by an attendance here for one full course; the rules of graduation being in other respects observed. They are also exempted from the payment of fees upon attending a second term. When a candidate applies to the Dean for admission, he must exhibit his tickets to prove that the above rules have been complied with. The candidate, at the time of his application, must deliver to the Dean of the medical faculty, a thesis, composed by himself, on some medical subject. This thesis is referred to one of the Professors, who shall examine the candidate upon it, and make his report thereon to the medical faculty.

When a candidate is rejected, his essay will be retained by the medical faculty. The essay must be in the candidate s own handwriting, and must be written uniformly on letter-paper of the same size, the alternate pages being left blank. Bad spelling in a thesis, or evidences of a want of literary culture, will preclude a candidate from examination for a degree. A thesis may be published by the candidate if he desire it, the permission of the Professor by whom he was examined thereon being first obtained; but no alteration shall be made in such thesis without the consent of the said Professor. The voting on the case of each candidate is by ballot. Candidates who have not been successful upon a first examination, will be permitted to have a second, when all the classes have been disposed of by the faculty. The second examination will be conducted in full meeting of the Professors. The candidate shall pay the fees of graduation at the time of his examination, or before receiving notice of his success; his name may then be entered on the register of passed candidates, for the purpose of being reported to the Board of Trustees and included in the mandamus for a degree. Candidates who .have passed their examination, and in other respects complied with the regulations, are to be reported by the Dean to the Provost, who will communicate such report to the Board of Trustees, in order that, if approved of by them, their mandamus be issued for conferring the degree. The degree will not be conferred upon a candidate who absents himself from the public commencement, except by special permission of the medical faculty. Graduates of medical schools, on the ad eundem list, by attending one complete course in this Institution, and complying with the above regulations, are put upon the same footing with students who have attended two complete courses here; that is, they may present themselves as candidates for graduation: also, if they attend a second time, the tickets will be free. Such graduates, if of five years' standing, are permitted to attend the course of lectures, upon a general ticket of admission, free of expense, except the cost of the matriculating ticket. But this general ticket does not qualify for graduation.

Fees.—Fees for the Course of Lectures, $105; •Matriculation Fee (paid only once), $5; Graduating Fee, $30.

The next session of the Jefferson Medical College will commence on the second Monday, being the fourteenth day, of October. The regular lectures will begin the day alter. The session will terminate on the last day of February. Opportunities will be afforded for the prosecution of Practical Anatomy from the commencement of October.

Clinical Advantages.—The General Dispensary of the College, which the students of the College have the exclusive privilege of attending gratuitously, will be in active operation from the commencement of September. The College Clinic, connected with this, affords admirable opportunities for the student to learn the practical parts of his profession, and the proper application of the principles which he is taught from the various chairs. The clinic is richly supplied with medical and surgical cases, and throughout the session it forms a prominent, and, in the estimation of the faculty, a most important element of the educational course. The patient is examined, prescribed for, and if a surgical operation is needed, it is performed before the class The rationale of every conclusion, and of every prescription, is expounded by the clinical professor; and diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutics are thus intimately investigated and elucidated. The lists of medical and surgical diseases exhibit the great variety of cases brought before the students. For certain cases, the faculty have provided hospital accommodations in a building in immediate connection with the College—thus enabling the surgeons to perform not only the minor, but the more serious operations, as lithotomy, amputation, etc., before the class, without risk to the patient The hours of attendance at the clinic of the College are so arranged as to permit the students to attend, every Wednesday and Saturday, the clinics held at the Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Philadelphia Hospital. Professor Pancoast is one of the surgeons of the former; and Professor Gross of the latter. At both these institutions, the advantages are great for the practical observation of medical and surgical cases. The city is, indeed, rich in its hospitals, infirmaries, and dispensaries, for the treatment of diseases in general It has, moreover, institutions designed for important specialties,—for the diseases of the eye and ear, for obstetrical cases, etc., and numerous private courses are energetically conducted by competent individuals, in which practical subjects are illustrated by the examination and treatment of cases. It is obvious, however, that during the regular course of lectures the time of the student must be so much occupied with his college studies, that he can only avail himself of a part of the clinical riches with which he is so bounteously surrounded.

The Museum of the College is amply provided with materials for demonstration, and is well fitted for illustrating the various departments.

In the course on surgery, the Professor will devote several lectures to military surgery.

The examinations are so arranged as to permit the commencement for conferring degrees to be held a3 early in March as is practicable. There is likewise an examination of candidates for graduation during the first week of July. The degrees are conferred on the candidates who are successful at this examination at the annual commencement following.

Graduation.—The candidate must be of good moral character, and at least twenty-one years of age. He must have attended two full courses of lectures in some regular and respectable medical school, one of which shall have been in this College, and must exhibit his tickets, or other adequate evidence thereof, to the Dean of the faculty. He must have studied medicine for not less than three years, and have attended at least one course of clinical instruction in an institution approved by the faculty. He must present to the Dean of the faculty a thesis of his own composition, correctly written, and in his own handwriting, on some medical subject; and exhibit to the faculty, at his examination, satisfactory evidence of his professional attainments. If, after examination for a degree, the candidate, on ballot, shall be found to have received three negative voles, he shall be entitled to a fresh examination. Should he decline this, he may withdraw his thesis, and not be considered as rejected. The degree will not be conferred upon any candidate who absents himself from the public commencement, without the special permission of the faculty.

Fees.—The fee to each member of the faculty is $15, payable in advance, making in the whole, $105 ; the Matriculation fee is $5, to be paid the first session only; the fee for the diploma is $30.

The thirty-eighth lecture term commences on the first Thursday in August, and continues sixteen weeks. Instead of mingling promiscuously all the branches of Medicine, the study of the fundamental branches of medical science precedes the course of practical instruction. The student cannot neglect this order in his acquisitions without much loss of time and toil.
