University, presents peculiarites 10 be found in ma
other school Of medicine in the Union. The lee
lures commence on the LIST Of October and terminate
on the 9th Of June.

braces period Of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med

subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre-
cedlng lecture, or on portions of approved text
books. IL is apparent that the plan, Of which the
outlines have been briefly stated is one which allows
the student TO commence well as to complete HIS
medical studies IN the institution and presents
happy combination Of the advantages of the svstem
OF instruction. by private pupage and that Of public
lectures.
Any person Of approved moral conduct may offer
as 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:

try, Pharmacy, and Maeria Medica.
