JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE.<
v1VHE Jsferson JMcficni College Instituted In
Philadelphia, in 1925, and, during It's first ses-
sion, was endowed by an act OF the Legislature Of
Pennsylvania, with power to confer degrees in Me-
dcine, and with oil the privileges and prcrogativcs
OF similar institutions IN our own country and in Eu-
roPe.
Since its foundation near COO students have attond-
cd the respective courses Of lectures; and Of this
number las from various sections of tho United
States, the Canadas, West Indies, and Europe. have
been admitted to the degree Of Doctor of Medicine.
The sixth session Of the college will commence on
the first Monday of November next, and, it is be-
loved, under the most favorable auspices every OBJ
stscle to it's future advancement having been removed
and such measures adopted by the board of trustees
rs will give q new impulse TO the exertions Of the
faculty. Among these measures it is thought proper
to specify particularly. the appointment of Professor
Drake Of CINCINNATI to the chair of the Practice of
Medicine. His reputation q lecturer is acknow-
lodged, while his practical acquaintance with tho dis
cases most prevalent in the southern md western
sections Of country, in which a majority Of the
graduates in medicine may be expected to locate
themselves, must greatly enhance the value Of his
instruction.
The additions which have been made to the anu
toniical cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstrations such as will bear com,
parson with those Of the oldest medical schools on
this side Of the Atlantic.
In oil other respects it is confidently believed it is
not surpassed by any of its sister institutions with
all Of which, far is known, it is ced on foot
ing of perfect equalty-a course cfectures in one,
being held equivalent to a course the same bran
chee, in every other
