ARRANGEMENT OF STUDIES.
The length of the session (nine months) renders it practicable and convenient
to distribute the subjects of instruction among a smaller number
of Professors than in other medical schools of the United States, whose
sessions are only four or five months long. This distribution brings the
different subjects to the attention of the student in their natural and successive
order. The arrangement of the lectures is such that he acquires
a competent knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology and Chemistry before
he enters upon the study of the principles and practice of Medicine and
Surgery, which can only be studied properly in the light of the former.
The instructions in Materia Medica and Pharmacy are also given in due
relation to the progress of the student in chemistry.
