ferred,) the Bucolics, Georgics and ^Eneid of Virgil, Cthe ivhole.) Sallust,

must produce certificates of their good moral character. The time for ex-

amination is the Friday after Commencement, and the first Thursday in the

ined also in the books which have been studied by the Class into which ad-

mission is requested. Students from other Colleges, before they can be ex-

amined, must produce a certificate of their regular dismission. The Geog-

raphy to be studied may be Morse's, Worcester's, or "Woodbridge's. There

Sophocles, are preferred.

The Medical School of Maixe, by an Act of the Legislature, is

placed micler the superintendence and direction of. the Boards of Trustees

and Overseers of Bowdoin College. By the joint authority of these two

Boards all the degrees of M. D. are conferred.f

The Medical Session commences near the middle of February, annually,

and continues fourteen weeks. Students, and particularly candidates for a

degree, are examined either daily or weekly on the subject of the Lectures.

The Fees of admission to the several Courses of Lectures, payable in ad-

vance, are $50.

The Graduation Fee, including an engraved Diploma on Parchment, is

$18. Matriculation or Library Fee, payable but once, 33.

Pupils, who have attended two full Courses of Medical Lectures, one of

which Courses must have been at this School, are admitted to all sub-

sequent Courses, without payment of any Lecture Fees.

Students, who have attended two full Courses at other regular Medical

Institutions, are required to pay one-third of the usual Fees for admission

to their first Course of Lecture:? at this School.

GRADUATION.Candidates for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine are examined by the

Faculty of Medicine immediately after the termination of the Course of

Lectures, and also on the second Monday before the annual Commencement

of the College, which occurs on the first Wednesday of September.

They must have devoted three years to their professional studies under

the direction of a regular Practitioner of Medicine. They must have attend-(

ed two Courses of Medical Lectures in some incorporated Medical Institu-

tion, and the last Course previous to examination must have been at this

Medical School. They must deposite -with the Faculty, satisfactory certifi-

cates of having pursued their Medical Studies for the required term, and of

possessing at the time of examination a good moral character. They must

also pass a satisfactory Examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery,

Chemistry, Materia Medica, Pharmacy, Obstetrics, and the Theory and

Practice of Physic. They must read and defend a Thesis or dissertation on

some Medical subject, in the presence of the Faculty of Medicine.

Those Candidates, who have not received a Collegiate education, must

satisfy the Faculty of their proficiency in the Latin Language and in Natu-

ral Philosophy.

Degrees are conferred at the close of each Course of Lectures, and at the

annual Commencement of the College in September.

A fair copy of the Thesis or Dessertation must be deposited with the

Secretary of the Faculty at least ten days before the commencement of the

Examination at the close of the Lectures. These copies are preserved in

the Medical Library; and it is required, that they should be written on let-

ter paper of Medium size, with a wide margin, left for the purpose of bind-

ing them into volumes.

LIBRARY.The Medical Library, attached to this School, is one of the best in the

United States. It contains about 3200 volumes principally modern works,

which have been selected with much care ; and is annually increasing. It

embraces an extensive and valuable collection of Plates, among which are

the works of Albinus, Baillie, Bateman, the Bells, Breschet, Bright, Carwell,

Cloquet, Cooper, Cruveilhier, Home, Hooper, Lizars, Maygrier, Scarpa, Sec-

rig, Swan, Tiedmann, Vicq d'Azyr, "Weber, &c. &c.

All the Members of the Medical Class are entitled to borrow two volumes

a week from the Library. Those, who are candidates for examination for

the degree of M.D. during the year, are permitted to exchange their books

twice a week, thus giving them the privilege of consulting four volumes each

week.

ANATOMICAL CABINET.The Anatomical Cabinet was purchased in Paris ; and most of the Pre-

parations were there made under the direction of the late Professor Thillaye.

Many wet preparations have however been added during the past year.

Its valuable specimens of Morbid and Comparative Anatomy are also con-

stantly increasing ; so that every department of practical Anatomy can now

be fully demonstrated from this collection.

The students, divided into classes containing three or four individuals, are

furnished with the separated bones of the Skeleton for examination at their

private rooms.

The Chemical Department embraces every Article of Apparatus essential

to a complete illustration of the principles of Chemistry. This Course also

includes a very full exhibition of the principles of Common and Galvanic

Electricity, and Electro-Magnetism, with numerous experiments.

Lectures will also be given to the Medical Class on those departments of

Natural Philosophy, which are especially connected with Medical Science.

An extensive and valuable collection of Instruments and Apparatus has

been provided for the department of Surgery ; which will be completed by

the Lecturer in this Department. Frequent opportunities for witnessing

Surgical operations will be afforded.

All operations in the presence of the Medical Class will be performed

without charge. It is considered important, that this fact should be exten-

sively made known to the Public.

The foregoing is a brief statement of the means of acquiring Medical

knowledge, which may be enjoyed at this Institution. No efforts, which may

tend to render these means beneficial, and to promote the instruction of pu-

pils in the Science of Medicine, will be omitted by the Professors.
