The splendid new building of
the Sims Medical College
is being pushed rapidly to compile
ton, and when finished will be the
finest building for the purpose IN
the city. The location of the col
lege, on the corner of Grand Ave-
nue. and Caroline street, is most
favorable, the neighborhood being
one of the best in the city. The
building will be four stories high
and will have a front of 60 by 1O6
feet. The first floor is to be occu-
pied by the Grand Avenue Free
Dispensary, the library and drug
store; the second floor by a lecture
room which will seat 400 students,
a museum, private operating rooms
and private rooms for the profess
sors; the third floor by the chemi-
cal, pathological and other labora-
tories and an amphitheatre; the
fourth floor by the dissecting room
and rooms for demonstrations in
physiology. The building is d
centre about which are located the
City Hospital, the Female Hos
pital, and the Insane Asylum, all
of which are within easy reach
and of very great service in giving
practical instruction.
The building is readily accessi-
BILE from all parts of the city. From
the Union Depot it may be reached
by the Chouteau Avenue and
Fourteenth street cars; from the
principal hotels, by the Fourth
street cable cars and the Blue line
on Washington Avenue. The
Market street car and the new
line On Vandeventer Avenue and
also the Chouteau Avenue electric
line all run near the building, and
it is to be expected that the ease
with which the college can be
reached from all these different
points will make its dispensary a
very important feature OF the insti-
tu'ion. For graduation il this
college, a three years course of
study will be required, this to in
clude two regular college courses,
the last of which, at least, shall be
in the Marion-Sims College OF
Medicine. The requirements are
thus the same as have always been
exacted by most of the best medl-
cal colleges in the country:

men of extensive experience in
practice and in teaching: and are
known by reputation throughout
the country. The physicians con-
