Anatomy 3.—Four hours weekly through the first and second terms. This
course is the continuation of Anatomy 1, and consists of the systematic study
of topographic anatomy, with the aid of cross sections of the human body,
special dissections, and wet preparations with a review of the whole body
in relation to the needs of the student in general medicine and surgery. At
the end of this course a practical examination is given, covering the work
of Anatomy 1, 2 and 3. Dr. Bean, Dr. Speidel, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Kimbrough

Physiology.—Lectures, recitations, and demonstrations, four and a half
hours weekly during the first term, eight and a half hours during the second
term; laboratory work, eleven and a half hours weekly during the first term, two

and nutrition, and the central nervous system. The work of the laboratory
closely follows the lectures as an integral part of the study of each subject.
Open only to students who have obtained grades of seventy per cent. in
Histology and Biochemistry. An average grade of seventy per cent. and the
satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of this course is necessary for
admission to Pharmacology. Dr. Hough and Mr. Hershenson.
Bacteriology and Pathology.—Twelve hours weekly throughout the session
and four additional hours a week the second term. The work in pathology is
open only to students who have obtained a record of passed in Histology.
Bacteriology and Pathology are taught in a combined course. Emphasis is

accompanying the systematic study of pathology. Opportunity is given
selected students for advanced work. Dr. Marshall, Dr. Sheppe and Dr.
Helvestine.
Pharmacology.—Lectures, recitations and demonstrations five hours weekly
and laboratory work six hours weekly, during the third term. The physical and
chemical characteristics and the mode of action of representative drugs and
other chemic agents are dealt with in both didactic and practical exercises.
Special attention is given to analysing and interpreting the results obtained
in the laboratory. An average grade of seventy per cent. on Physiology together
with the satisfactory completion of the laboratory work of Physiology
is required for admission to the course. Dr. Waddell, assisted by Mr. Ratcliffe
and Mr. Rutledge.
Clinical Diagnosis.—Six hours weekly during the third term. In this course
the student is made familiar with those laboratory methods which are helpful

of the third year. Dr. Bray, assisted by Mr. Cardwell.
Journals.—In connection with the work in Physiology, Bacteriology and
Pathology, the second-year students meet with their instructors for one
