PATHOLOGY.
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR DAVIS,
Dr. SKEEN,
Mr. LANGHORNE,
Mr. GRAY.
The principles of General and Surgical Pathology are
discussed by lectures and illustrated in the laboratory.
The processes of disease are studied in detail, with the
unaided eye and with the microscope, upon selected specimens.
Instruction is given in the method of conducting an
Autopsy, in which the object of preserving for future investigation
desirable parts is kept particularly in view. This
involves pathological technique, in which students receive
a thorough drill and are allowed to retain the preparations
they make. Each student is required to recognize, by the
aid of the microscope, the nature of tumors and to make
examinations of urine. These practical exercises constitute
a distinct test in addition to the regular written examination
covering the entire work of the course.
Under the study of Infections, the Bacteria concerned
are considered in detail and made the subject of
investigation in the laboratory, which is equipped with
approved modern apparatus.
A series of lectures upon the symptoms and therapeutics
of Surgical Diseases follows closely the course
upon Pathology.
Text-Books.—The Professor's Syllabus; Ziegler's General Pathology;
Warren's Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics; Abbott's Principles of
Bacteriology.
