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 nine hours of laboratory
work weekly during the first and second terms. 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
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. Edgar and Dr. Pratt.
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 and Dr. Pratt.
