ANATOMY.

   

Professor Whitehead.	Dr. Norford.
Adjunct Professor Byrnes.

The course of study in this subject extends through the whole of
the first year and the first six months of the second year. It is divided as
follows:

Anatomy 1.—This consists of a systematic study of the bones, joints,
and viscera; on the completion of which a "part" (either the head and
neck, upper extremity and thorax, or lower extremity and abdomen) is
assigned to each student for dissection and study.

Anatomy 2.—This consists of the study, in some detail, of the
anatomy of the central nervous system, both gross and microscopic. It
is pursued during the last ten weeks of the first year.

Anatomy 3.—During the first six months of the second year each
student finishes his study of the structure of the body by dissecting the
two parts which he did not dissect during his first year.

Throughout the course there are occasional lectures, frequent quizzes
and demonstrations, and several written examinations. Much importance
is attached to the daily work in the laboratory.
