The Faculties, for intellectual Abilities moral
worth and professional requirements VIII compare
favorabIy with the most distinguished in our coun-
try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any other country--all of them are iec-
turers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position, and the extent of population, can have
no doubt as to the eligibility of our situation Tor
an enterprise of the kind. AS to the health IN
cluding all seasons Of the year, we deny 'ha' any
other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds OF many
students relative to the place Of studying medicine;
those who intend practising among the diseases u
the West and South should certainly educate
themselves at school whose Faculty are Practl-
caIIy acquainted with those diseases.
That the public may be satisfied OF the Perma-
nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state
that the Trustees and Faculty form unit in
action, which augurs well for its future success;
and that the peculiar internal organization which
connects them cannot be interrupted.
