GRADUATION CUSTOMS IN THE
 SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.

The conferring of the degree of doe. tor medicine was a much more i'm posing ceremony 300 years ago than it is today. The graduation of a medi- cal student was generally celebrated with much ceremony and for several days there were music and feasts. The historic features of the medical eXami- nation and graduation of this period have been immortalized by Moliere in ''Le malade imaginaire.' This charming and instructiove comedy was produced in 1865 for the special enjoyment of the king and court. From the raising of the curtain till it falls the piece is the most scathing satire on medical art and science No detail concerning the professors prac tice, teachings and instructions is omitted that could supply point for raillery and ridicule.
 Incredible as it may appear the ma jority of students attained the degree of bachelor and conversed learnedly of the nature and cure of disease be- fore having seen ease. The great object of medical education in that day was to know and discourse on all that the ancients had said about health and disease. After two years of devo- tion to this course of study the stu dent was eligible for the Baccalaureat which was followed at intervals with further tests, and then came the eX- animation for "license," admission to

 The scene takes placei n the ampi-

 take the oath, swearing faithfully to
 observe the status, to reverence the opinions of his seniors and never to make use of remedies except those sanctioned by them. The candidate solemnly repeats the immortal single word "juro"; the dean then thrust the square bonnet on his head, accom- paying the act with a slight tap; and the worthy licentiate is henceforth priviledged to practice. The bache- Tor, having undergone the learned or deal with success, delivers a fiowery address and thanks his masters for the honor conferred This lengthy cere- mony with it's innumerable dinners and banquets of old-time dimensions, which forms the substance of Molere's sparkling satire, gives a true picture of the seventeenth century graduation ceremonies.
