MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

g MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.
The plan of instruction in this department of the
University presents pecularities, to be found in no
other school of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence on the LIST of October and terminate
on the 29th Of June ensuing.
Owing to the length of the session, which en-
braces period of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which other med
ica institutions usually assigned to six and the
students seldom required to. attend more than
two lectures on the same day. BY this arrange.
ment, the students have an opportunity of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches of medical science, before they
investigate their applications in connection with the
study Of the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre-
ceding lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated which allows
the student to commence as well as to complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents q
happy combination Of the advantages of the system
Of instruction. by private puplage and that of public
lectures.
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study of medicine, or Of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in a satisfactory manner,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are:
Robert E. Rogers, M. D., Professor Of Chems.
try, Pharmacy, and Matera Medica
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor of Pathology
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
James L. Cabell, NJ. D., Professor of Anatomy
Physiology, and Surgery.
John Stage Davis, M. D., Demonstration of Anat-
omy.
