JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE.

JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE. |
TIME Jefferson Medical College was instituted in J
4 Philadclphia, in 1925, md, during its first ses
sion, WAS endowed by ON act OF the Legislature of
Pennsylvania, with power to confer degrecs in Me
dlcine. aud with all the privileges and prerogatives
OF similar institutions, IN our own country and in Eu-
rope.
Since it's foundation near GOO students have attend
cd the respective courses of lectures: and of this
number las from various sections of The United
States, the Canadas, West Indies, and Europe. have
been admitted to tho degree of Doctor Of Medicine.
The sixth session of the college will commence ON
the first Monday of November next. and. it is be-
licved, under the most favorable auspices; every OBJ
stacle to its future advancement having been removed,
and such measures adopted by tho board of trustees,
as will give q new impulse to the exertions of the
faculty. Among these measures, il IS thought proper
to specify particularly, the appointment Of Professor
Drake. of Cincinnati, to tho chair of the Practice Of
Medicine. His reputation as q lecturer is acknow-
lodged, while his practical acquaintance with tho dis
cases most prevalent in the southern and western
sections of our country, in which u 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 ana
tomical cabinet, with the facilities afforded for dis
section and demonstration. are such as will bear com
parison with those of the Oldest medical schools OIL
this side o. the Atlantic.
In all other respects, it is confidently believed, it is
no: surpassed by any of its sister Institutions, with
all of which, as far as is known, ii is placed on a foot
