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.

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 intention of the lecturers is to offer

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.

Practical Anatomy.—An
ample supply of anatomical material for
dissection will be furnished students at cost.
Classes will receive the personal attention of the Demonstrator of Anatomy
without any additional fee.
Principles And Practice Of Medicine And Materia Medica.—It
is the aim of the Professor of these branches to present a faithful view of
the actual state of practical
medicine, to dwell upon the
important art of physical diagnosis, and by the aid of plates, models, wet
and dry preparations, convey correct notions of the morbid changes,
occurring in different diseases. To consider the Modus Operandi of
medicines, and discuss their mechanical, chemical, and vital modes of
action, exhibit specimens of nearly ah1 the
