From its formation up to the, commencement Of
the wal, upward Of six thousand students had re-
ceived instruction within the halls of the Medical
College Of South Carolina, and it's graduates may
be found in every State Of the South, holding

Among the more disting uished we would mention
the names OF Prof J. g. NoTr, late Of Mobile;
Prof Eve, of Nashville; Profis. EVE and EDWARD
of Augusta, Ga; Prof. j. LAWRENCE
SMfTE, OF Louisville; Prof. T. GAILLARD THOMAS.

We are glad to learn that the college, the first
organised South Of nIason's and Dixon's Line, is
now in better condition than ever, to proffer medi.
cal instruction, and prepare physicians for a career
Of susefnlness. Since the war the classes have
been good and rapidly increasing, and we predict
for 1t, at it's coming session, which opens on the
hrst Monday in November, o class nearly as large
as the good old ltims when this school far out
stripped all of its Southern, ceaapatitors. i
