"GowNs! GowNs!'-By one of those strange laws
OF association, whose tangled thread VIC are often
puzzled to unravel, these sharp, crisp days about
the fret OF November, have always been connect

students. A strange but not wholly incongruous
association-born, doubtless, from memories of
our young typo life, when the two were wont TO
make their appearance simultaneously ut our
boarding-hous table, whose jolly hostess, rcd
nosed, fatgirthed and kindly, used to declare that
she ''iked her cakes 'ot and OF, and wished gen

Hairy overcoats, and ungloyed hands, and scan-

go back to the days when the arrival Of these
Galenian probationaries betokened the disappear

we should have certainly introduced at this sea-
son, under the prophetic head Of WEATHER. ssAbout
this time expect double raps at midnight, and
look after your bclhandles" But times and the
mon have changed. "The class is now scarcely
distinguishable from the outer world and the
medical student of our youth and of Punch is q
thing of yesterday, fast taking his place among
the extinct species. How he was ever metamor-
phosed into the Doctor-how this dcvil-may care,
frolicking, roicking creature Of pint pots, and
small whist, and stumpy pipes, was ever fash ioncd

explained in this life. The mystery itself has now
disappeared, and the embryo and the graduate

and his aHe' ego of diploma, license and lancet

frog.
But though the diosyncracy has vanished, the
man remains; the signs Of his coming are still yisi-

When n commoton, rather to be felt by the in.
ward than seen by the outer vision, is noticed
among the aculty-when obscure boarding houses
and instrument makers are seized with an cpl
demic OF advertising, when the steps of Junior
Doctors tread visibly westward, and signs Of life
exhibit themselves the outside of hospitals
| and almshouses-the medical student is coming.
when these dront coureurS are followed by the
beaming faces Of Professors, and sittings-up in
grave-yards, the medical student has come.
All OF these prognostics 1--WE insensibly fall into

and we did not need the hint of an advertisement
to assure us that our Medical College was soon
about to resume its activity, after Information
Of moro than four years. And a noble and honor
ed institution it has been, and, We trust and be-
heve, will long be. The names OF many of it's
faculty nave, 1Of q thlrd OF Its century, boon
known and honored through all tho land; and
among its corps we recognize young and rising
men, whose well-earned reputation has gone be-
fore thom, and who adding every day to their

receive the full due of patronage it 80 well de-
serves. ZEE
The Clinical material here now, both for pa
biological and anatomical purposes is equal to the
best anywhere, and far superior to what it has
ever been. The Museum is rich in its variety and
wealth of specimens for instruction and illustra-
tion-the hospitals crowded with just the kind Of
stuff out of which Doctors are made. And we cor
daily urge upon all who are at this time interest
ed in medical education, to see to it that home en-.
ergy and home talent receive hereafter the patron
age which it has always been our shame and our
curse to bestow every where else.
