THE HOME OPATHIC COLLEGE or
NNSYLVANIA.
snondenoe Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence Of The N Y. Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA Tuesday, March T. 1855.
Last Saturday March l, the Homeopathic College
of Pennsylvania celebrated its Ninth Annual Com
mencement short account of this interesting solem-
rty and of the condition of the College, may not be
out of place in the columns of your paper, which Is
universally looked upon the most able and energetic
advocate of truth and progress in our country.
The Musical Fund Hall, where the exercises took
place. was crowded to its utmost capacity. Two.
thirds of the audience were ladies', comprising the
beauty and fashion Of Philadelphia. The graduating
class compared favoraby with any similar class in our
Allopathic Colleges they seemed to be a band OF
Youthful inquireTs some Of whom will no doubt be
blessing to their country. The students Of the Homeo
pathc College in this city receive thorough nstruc-
ton in all the medical sciences and in the science Of
Homeopathy in particular. From my personal expert
ence am prepared TO assert that the Pro essors as
body are not inferior to any medical faculty in this
country. The valedicory address, of which send
YOU a copy, embodes the sentiments which animate
The Board of Teachers toward their pupils, sentiments
of great kindness and patemal regard may as well
state 10 this place that the obsterical department Is
most admirably managed both regards the EXPOSE
ton of principles and the opportunities for practice by
Professor Ward the author of the address.
All the best families in this city employ Homeopathic
physicians. Ii is no small honor to Philadelphia that
the frst Homeopathic College, with full Board of
Professors should have been organized by the hber-
atty of her citizens under charter OF the State
Legislature. Thus il is that, even in medicine, our
glorious country takes the lead Of Europe. G. n.
