FIRST YEAR.
Anatomy 1.—Six hours weekly until November 1; twelve hours weekly
from November 1 to the end of the second term. This course begins with
a systematic study of the bones, on the completion of which a part is assigned
to each student for dissection and study. On the completion of this course and
Anatomy 3 each student has dissected a lateral half of the body. The student
obtains his knowledge at first hand and by his own personal efforts. The satisfactory
performance of the laboratory work is essential to a passing grade.
Dr. Bean and Dr. Baker.
Anatomy 2.—Six hours weekly during the third term. This course consists
in a laboratory study of the anatomy of the central nervous system carried
out in considerable detail. The gross anatomy of the spinal cord and brain is
first considered, on the completion of which sections of the more important regions
are studied carefully with the aid of the microscope. Fresh brains and
series of sections of the cord and brain are thoroughly used. Dr. Bean and
Dr. Baker.
Histology.—Three lectures or recitations and eight hours of laboratory
work weekly until November 1; three lectures or recitations and six hours of
laboratory weekly from November 1 to the end of the second term. This course
aims to acquaint the student with the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and
organs. Cytogenesis and histogenesis are briefly considered in the case of many
tissues studied. The relation of histology to physiology and pathology is constantly
kept in view. The student is also given opportunity to acquaint himself
with the principles and practice of histological technique.
A record of seventy per cent in this course is required for admission to
Physiology, and of eighty per cent for admission to Pathology. Dr. Jordan,
assisted by Mr. Pagenstecher.
Embryology.—Nine hours weekly during the third term. The laboratory
work (six hours weekly) with sections and dissections of mammalian embryos, is
supplemented by lectures, recitations, and the study of models. The course aims
to give the student a knowledge of developmental processes, in the light of which
he may the better understand the more abstruse normal conditions of adult
anatomy, as well as many anomalies and variations, neoplasms and malformations.
Dr. Jordan, assisted by
Mr. Pagenstecher.
Organic Chemistry.—Lectures and recitations three hours weekly, laboratory
work six and eight hours weekly, respectively, during the first and second
terms. This course includes the systematic study of organic chemistry, with
special reference to substances of importance in their relation to medicine. The
course lays a thorough foundation for subsequent work in Physiological Chemistry,
Pharmacology, etc.
During the second term the laboratory work includes quantitative determinations
of immediate importance in Physiological Chemistry, such as the
estimation of sugar, total nitrogen, uric acid, ammonia, etc.
A record of seventy per cent on this course is required for admission to
Physiological Chemistry. Dr. Venable.
Physiological Chemistry.—Three lectures, three recitations and nine hours
of laboratory work weekly during the third term. The structure, properties
and reactions of the more important compounds which the student meets in his
subsequent medical study. The laboratory work, continuing that of Organic
Chemistry, includes the study of fats, soaps, fatty acids, and proteins; blood,
milk, bile; the digestive enzymes, and extensive qualitative and quantitative
work on urine.
A grade of seventy per cent on this course is required for admission to
Physiology. Dr. Hough, assisted by Mr. Massie, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hoover.
