The plan of instruction in this school is arranged to secure a gradation of studies through the three years of the student's course. For this purpose students must attend three entire sessions.

First Year. During the first year they will be principally occupied with the elementary branches of Anatomy, Physiology, Materia Medica, and Chemistry, with practical work in the Anatomical Rooms and Pharmacy. Second Year.-In the second year they will continue these four branches and receive instruction in Hygiene, Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, and Pathological Anatomy. Third Year.-In the third year the instruction in these departments will be continued, and the students will engage in practical medical work under the direction of their teachers, and be required to furnish clinical reports of cases so attended.

This progressive mode of study does not increase the length nor the expense of the student's course, as no extra charge is made for the third year.

An annual course of lectures in any accredited school will be received as equivalent to a course of lectures in this school.

[ocr errors]

Students from such schools may enter as second or third year students in this school, according as they bring tickets for one or two courses of lectures, but a certificate of reading under a preceptor, will not be received as equivalent to a course of lectures.

Students desiring to avail themselves of the clinical advantages of the city, without going through the whole course of the College, or graduating from it, may, by special arrangement, attend such lectures as they desire in connection with the clinics of the school, without reference to its graded course.

Any one course of lectures may be attended separately by students, or ladies wishing information on that special subject.

Examinations. Students entering the graded College course will be required to pass a preliminary examination in English branches, unless they bring a diploma from some established literary school. An examination will be held at the end of each term when every student will be examined in the studies pursued during the term. The final examination will be passed in Anatomy, Materia Medica, Physiology, and Chemistry, at the end of the second year, and at the end of the third year in Hygiene, Practice, Surgery, and Obstetrics. All candidates for graduation after having passed the Faculty of this College, go before a Board of Examiners composed of eminent professors from the several Medical Colleges of the City. Each successful candidate receives a certificate bearing the several signatures of the Board, which is an additional guarantee of the bearer's fitness to practice.

Clinical Advantages.-The best clinical advantages are within reach of the students of this College; for the New York Infirmary, with its long established practice, places annually over seven thousand patients under the immediate observation of its students, and, in Practical Obstetrics and Diseases of Women, the students of this school have special advantages, as all candidates for graduation are received as residents in the Infirmary for a sufficient time to give them the opportunity of attending a certain number of cases, also of having practical experience in pharmacyputting up prescriptions, &c. The City Dispensaries are also open to women; one of the best of these-the Demilt Dispensary--is within a few minutes' walk of the College. Here over 22,000 patients are treated annually. The diseases are divided into different classes, as: Diseases of Skin, Heart, Lungs, &c., and each class is treated at specified hours, by separate attending Physicians, and Clinics are held from 9 A.M.

Requirements for Graduation. Candidates for Graduation must be twenty-one years of age-must be of good moral character, and have received a good general education. They must have spent three years in the study of medicine, during which they must have attended three Winter Sessions of lectures, and received clinical instruction, according to the course laid down by the school. A thesis on some medical subject must be submitted; passing satisfactory examinations before the Faculty and the board of Examiners will also be required. A course of lectures in any recognized school will be accepted as one of the terms required by the College, but the last course before graduation must have been attended at this College.
