We are glad to learn that the college, the frat
organized South OF Mason's and D1on's Line, is
now in better condition than ever, to proffer mcdi-
cal instruction. and prepare physicians for career
OF usefulness. Since the war the classes have
been good dnd rapidly increasing. and We predict
for it, at it's coming session, which opens on the
first Monday in November, class noarly as large
as in the good old time, when this school lar out
stripped all Of its Southern competitors.
We regret that the limited space to which ne
are restricted in writing on 8 subject Of
this character prevents US from entering mora
into detail, on many OF its most interesting
branches. Thus, for instance, We sould take
great pleasure in examining the many important
contributions, not only to the medical, but also to
various kindred sconces, which have been made
during the fortyfour years OF tho existence OF tins
>llege, byits teachers and graduates. We should
like to dwell more at large also on the character
and teachings of n.sny-of the professors. These
and many other topics, however, which naturally
suggest themselves in the consideration of such u
,home, we must leave at rest FOR The present,
having already transc0ndod tho usual limits Of n
newspaper article.
