feSsors we find them gentlemen highly quail
fed for the positions they occupy. Some of
them have been long known rs teachers, whilst
Others, have for near quarter Of a century
been identified with the cultivation and prac-
tice. of their profession in the west. We find
that the college is about commencing lis sixth
session. The catalogue before MS indicates a
prosperity the most ilatiering, lis rise and pro
Igress having far surpassed the hopes of its
moss sanguine friends, and under its prcscu.
government, official and professional, its for
tunes cannot wane, but grow better and more
encouraging with the return Of each annual
commencement.
10 this college is attached the Marine Hos
pltaL in which all sick boatmen are received
and treated. Extensive as is our commerce,
employing crafts of every kind, the labor upon
which requires large number of river men,
! GndSubjected as they are 10 every exposure
and incIemency Of weather and liable TO fire.
queIt accidents, q large portion must Of ne
Cessity fall Ill, and require Medical and Sur
] gical aid. The inmates of this Hospital are
not only the most numerous, but are generally
affected with diseases of an acute nature, and
hence are much more interesting as well as
| infinitely more useful to the student than the
chronic cases with which most charities are
filled.
Prof. Baker has charge of the Surgical de-
partment Of the Hospital, and is thus enabled
TO present a large and interesting surgical
clinic and throughout the session the student
IS enabled TO witness great number OF ope-
rations and have presented to him an eXten-
Isive variety of surgical cases Of recent char
acter, such as he is liable to meet with in
every day practice. Prof. Baker occupies a
high position in his profession - is bold and
Skilllul operatorand fluent lecturer.
The Medical wards are under ID care OF tBe
professor Of Theory and Practice, B. S. Law
son, N. D. The Medical clinic is large and,
composed as it is, ofacute diseases, and those
which par ticularly belong TO the west and
south, the advantage to the student Of this bed
side teaching is incaIculqbIe. The principles
which he receives in the lecture room are here
reduced to practice. and he thus becomes to 9
great extent familiar with The peculiar charac.
teristics Of individual affections. The wisdom
Of clinical instruction is now no longer cues
tion--itis essential TO a thorough and complete
Medical education. Every intelligent physi
clan is aware Of this, and Medical student:
will hereafter seek those colleges where it
im2ortonce is recognized by liberal provision
forits prosecution.
Prof. Lawson has long been engaged in thc
practical application Of those "PrncipleS 0
