SURGERY.

 
Professor Christian,  Dr. Humphreys. 

In Operative Surgery the first aim is to ground the student thoroughly
in the principles and technique of modern aseptic surgical procedure.
All amputations and ligations, the application of splints,
bandages and apparatus for different fractures, are shown upon the
cadaver. To insure a practical knowledge of the subject, each student
will be required to perform the operations upon the cadaver as a part
of his examination for graduation.

Radiography.—A brief course of lectures accompanied with ample
laboratory work is given to the students of the fourth year, with the
purpose of making clear the principles of X-ray phenomena and of
giving to each student such practical experience with the necessary
apparatus as will enable him to make professional use thereof with
skill and safety. This course is given in the Rouss Physical Laboratory,
whicl is unusually well equipped for this work.
