PATHOLOGY.
| Adjunct Professor Davis, |

The principles of General and Surgical Pathology are discussed by lectures and
illustrated in the laboratory.
The processes of disease are studied in detail, with the unaided eye and with the
microscope, upon selected specimens.
Instruction is given in the method of conducting an Autopsy, in which the
object of preserving for future investigation desirable parts is kept particularly in
view. This involves pathological technique, in which students receive a thorough
drill and are allowed to retain the preparations they make. Each student is
required to recognize, by the aid of the microscope, the nature of tumors and to
make examinations of urine. These practical exercises constitute a distinct test in
addition to the regular written examination covering the entire work of the course.
Under the study of Infections, the Bacteria concerned are considered in detail
and made the subject of investigation in the laboratory, which is equipped with
approved modern apparatus.
A series of lectures upon the symptoms and therapeutics of Surgical Diseases
follows closely the course upon Pathology.
Text-Books.—The Professor's Syllabus; Ziegler's General Pathology; Coplin's
Manual of Pathology; Warren's Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics; Abbott's
Principles of Bacteriology.
