JEFFERSON MEDICAL. COLLEGE.
'1>HE Js6erson Medical College was instituted in
Philadelphia, in 1875, and, during its first ses-
SION, was endowed by an act OF the Legislature Of
dcine and with on the privileges and prerocatvcs
OF similar institutions, in our own country and in Eu
rope.
Since IFS foundation near 600 students have attend
cd the respective courses OF lectures; and of this
number las from various sections of the United
States, the Canaiss, West Indies, and Europe have
been admitted TO the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
The sixth session Of the college viii commence ON
the first Monday Of November next, and, it is be-
lieved, under the favorable auspices every OBJ
sacle to its future advancement having been removed
and ssh measures adopted BY the board of trustees
as will give new impulse to tho exertions of the
faculty. Among these measures il 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
eases most prevalent in the southern and western
sections of our country, in which 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 tho ana
ton,ca cabinet with the facilities afforded for dis
section aud demonstration, such will bear com
parson with those of the Oldest medical schools ON
this side Of the Atlantic.
In all other respects it is confidently believed il is
MOI surpassed by any of it's sister nsiiuiions with
alt OF which, far is known il is placed foot
e.,
being held equivalent to a 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
purpose. An nfrmary for diseases of the eye is also
connected with the college, under the direction of the
Professor Of Surgery who will operate in the pre-
sence OF the class, where this is practicable.
