II may be fairly said that the Jefferson
Medical College was the pioneer in the
greatest OF all modern refosms-daily
clinical instruction. More than forty
years ago this system was established BY
George Mcclellan, and afterwards brill.
iantly followed up BY 7. D. Mutter, j.
Pancoast j. K. Mitchell and others. For
nearly that period there was 4 small hos
pital connected with the College, which
has now expanded into the spacious aud
we'll appointed hospital, capable Of &C.
commodatipg $50 beds, and situated i'm.
mediately to the west Of the College.
This hospital was erected in part by State
and in part by the contribu.
tions OF the Alumni, and friends of the
Clinical lectures are delivered
here daily at l P. N. throughout the year,
and opportunity is afforded for direct
bedside study and Instruction. The eli.
mics are conducted chiefly by the Faculty
in the winter and In the summer by .

ally an ofF-shoot Of the Jefferson COL
lege at Cannonsburg, in the western part
Of Pennsylvania. Il is now, however,
and has loog been an Independent in-
stitutiou, governed by an independent
Board Of Trustees, who hold As \ corpo-
ration the College buildings, including
the hospital, together with the endow-
ment fund for the support Of the latter.
The fees for the courses At the Jefferson
