MEDICAL, DEPARTMENT

The plan Of instruction in this department Of the
University, presents peculiarites, be found in no
other school Of medicine in the Union. The lee

Owing to the length Of the session, which EN-
braces period of nine months, three professors are
enabled TO perform all the dnies which in other med
cal institutions are usually assigned to six and the
students are seldom required TO attend more than
two lectures on the same day. BY this arrange
ment, the students have an opportunity of beng
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches OF medical science before they
investigate their applications in connexion 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-
cedng lecture, or on portions of approved text
books IL is apparent that the plan, Of which Ii.
outlines have been briefly stated is one which allows
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination Of the advantages of the system
Of instruction, by private pupilage and thss Of pubic
lectures, ~ ~ s
Any person Of approved moral conduct may offer
a candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.
