JEeHERsON MEDICAL COLLNaE.'

~
Vl>HE Jsferson Medical College was instituted in
Philadelphis, in 1875, and, during its fret seq
sion, uas endowed by an oct or the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, with power to confer degrees in Me-
dlcine, and with oil the privileges and prerogativ,.
OF similar institutions, in our own country and in Eu-
ripe.
Since its foundation near COO students have attend
ed the respective courses of lectures; and of this
number Ids rom various sections of the United
States, tho Csnadas, West Indies. and Europe. have
teen admitted to the degree of Doctor of Medicine
Tho. sixth session Of the college will comrncnce on
the first Monday of November next, anl, it is be-
leved, under the most favorable auspices; every OBJ
stdclc to its future advancement having been removed.
and such measures adopted by the bourd OF trustees,
as will give a new impulse to the exerlions Of the
faculty. Among these measures, it is thought proper
to specify particularly, tho appointment of Professor
Drnke, Of Cincinnati, Ia tho chair of the Practice Of
Medicine. His reputation as q lecturer is ucknow-
lodged, while his practical acquaintance with tho dis
cases most prevalent in the southern aud western
SECTIONS of our country, in which a majority Of the
graduates In medicine may be expected to locate
themselves, most greatly enhance the value Of his
Instruction.
The additions which have been made to the ana
toD,ical cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section aud demonstration, are such as will bear com.
porison with those of the oldest medical schools on
this side OF the Atlantic.
In all other respects, it is confidently believed, it is
not surpassed by any of its sister institutions, with
all OF which, as tar as is known, it is placed on a foot
ing OF perfect equality course eficctures in one,
being held equivalent to q course on the same BRAN
ches, in every other.
The Aims House and Hospital of the city afford
ample opportunities to the student of acquiring clint
cal instruction, and hours are appropriated TO this
purpose. An infirmary for diseases Of Tho eye is also
connected with the college, under the direction of the
Professor of Surgery, who will operate in the pre-
scnce of the class, where this is practicable.
