 TO MEDICAL STUDENTS.
 We have taken occasion, more than once, to speak of the facilities for Medical education in the West; and particularly of those afforded by the public and private institutions in the City of Louisville, Ken lucky Again, we perform, what to us is the pleas ing duty of calling the attention of Medical Students to this interesting and important subject-a subject which they cannot neglect without injury to society, and dishonor to them jelves.
 We have just received the seventh annual Cata- logue of the Louisville Medical Institute, and an nouncement of its future exercises. From this we learn that at the Session just terminated there were 242 Students in attendance upon lectures; and, at the recent commencement, 1T gentlemen received the Degree of Doctor Of Medicine During the ses- sion slight, but important change was made in the organization of the Faculty, and the plan Of iny struction Since 1889, there have been eght Chairs in the Institute; but the number is reduced to segen-the usual number in other Medical Schools The Professor of Theory and Praticce' Or Cooke) having resigned his Chair, it has been united with the Chair of < Pathological Anatomy and Clinical Practice, Or Drake) under the title of' Pathology and Practice of Medicine.' This one will now eIn- brace all that has been, heretofore taught from the two separate Chairs and is filled by that able and eloquent veteran-Dr. Daniel Drake. This arrange ment, besides being more natural, convenient and advantageous for purposes of study, as all medical men will readily perceive, will save the Student some expense, Heretofore, the aggregate price of the Tickets was $l2O-now it is $lO5; the dife- renee being sufficient to the price of the Tick cts for Matriculaton, Library, and Practical Ana tony.
 In addition to the foregoing it gives us especial pleasure to invite the attention of Students to the subioned announcement of Lectures in the new Sum mer School of Medicine-which commenced it's ex- ercises on Monday last. It will be observed that the Faculty of this School is composed, in part, of the distinguished Professors of the Institute-and among these is Professor CALDWELL the foremost oi American Medical Philosophers. Among the others, we are much pleased to recognize the names of sev- era younger, but eminent physicians, who are our valued personal friends-viz: BUCK, BAYLEss, and CoLEscorr. The first of these three names, it will be remembered, by medical readers, was men, toned by us some weeks since, in connection with course of practical lectures be proposed giving at the Louisville Public Dispensary. We are highly gratifed to find that he has been called to exercise his admirable talents in more extended, and con sequentIy, more useful sphere
