DERMATOLOGY.

Professor Davis.

Dr. Garnett.

A brief course of lectures is given on this subject embodying a consideration
of the commoner diseases met with in medical practice. At the
Dispensary two clinics a week throughout the year are devoted to the
diseases of the skin. The senior class is divided into sections for the
work in this branch. After a brief review of the anatomic and histologic
structure and of the physiology of the skin, the diseases most commonly
met with are discussed.

The clinical material available at the University Dispensary will be
utilized to the best advantage to give the students a practical working
knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of affections of the skin.
