MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.


The plan of instruction in this department of the
University, presents peculiarites 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 10th of June ensuing.
Owing TO the length Of the session, which em
braces period Of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med.
ca 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 being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and Other
elementary branches Of medical science before thew
investigate their applications in connexion with he
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 is one which allows
the student to commence an well as 10 complete his
medical studies in the institution, and presents
happy combination Of the advantages of the system
of instruction, by private pupilage 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 schoo,
the various examinations prescribed by the enact.
ments The professors are:
Robert <. Rogers, M D., Professor Of Chemis
try, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica.
Henry Howard, M. D., Professor Of PATHOLOGY
and Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, and Medical
Jurisprudence.
