COURSES OF STUDY IN GENERAL.
The session of the Medical Department continues through the full nine
months of the University session. This arrangement enables eight professors
and instructors to do thoroughly the work which is often allotted to a larger
number in institutions whose session is much shorter.
The importance of acquiring 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:
