COURSES OF STUDY IN GENERAL.
The session of the Medical Department continues through the full
nine months of the University session. This arrangement enables five
professors to do thoroughly the work which is often allotted to a larger
number in institutions whose session is much shorter.
The importance of a knowledge of Chemistry, Anatomy and Physiology,
before commencing the study of the more practical branches, is
fully recognized; and the course of study is so arranged, that during
the first half session the instruction is in these important elementary
branches. During the same time the subjects of Medical Jurisprudence
and Obstetrics, especially the mechanical features of the latter
branch, are studied by the class.
The courses and methods of instruction in the several Schools of the
Department are as follows:
