Bhfrirai Itjinnl nf JHattu.

The Medical School of Maine, by an Act of the Legislature, is placed

under the superintendence and direction of the Boards of Trustees and Over-

seers of Bowdoin College. By the joint authority of these two Boards all the

degrees of M.D. are conferred.

The Medical Session commences early in February, annually, and

continues fourteen weeks. Students, and particularly candidates for a de-

gree, are examined either daily or weekly on the subjects of the Lectures.

The Fees for admission to the several courses of Lectures, payable in

advance, are $50.

The Graduation fee, including an engraved Diploma on Parchment, is $18.

Matriculation or Library fee, payable but once, $3.

Pupils, who have attended two full courses of Medical Lectures, one of

which courses must have been at this School, are admitted to all subsequent

courses, without payment of any Lecture fees.

Students, who have attended two full courses at other regular Medical In-

stitutions, are required to pay one third of the usual fees for admission to their

first course of Lectures at this School, in addition to the Matriculation fee.

30 MEDICAL SCHOOL.

GRADUATION.

Candidates for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine are examined by the

Faculty of Medicine immediately after the termination of the Course of Lec-

tures, and also on the second Monday before the annual Commencement of

the College, which occurs on the first Wednesday of August.

They must have devoted three years to their professional studies under

the direction of a regular Practitioner of Medicine. They must have attended

two full courses of Medical Lectures in some incorporated Medical Institution,

and the last course previous to examination must have been at this Medical

School. They must deposite with the Faculty satisfactory certificates of having

pursued their Medical Studies for the required term, and of possessing at the

time of examination a good moral character.—They must also pass a satis-

factory Examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Chemistry, Materia

Medica, Pharmacy, Obstetrics, and the Theory and Practice of Medicine.

—

They must read and defend a Thesis or Dissertation on some Medical sub-

ject, in the presence of the Faculty of Medicine.

Those Candidates, who have not received a Collegial education, must

satisfy the Faculty of their proficiency in the Latin Language and in Natu-

ral Philosophy.

Degrees are conferred at the close of each Course of Lectures, and at the

annual Commencement of the College in August.

A fair copy of the Thesis or Dissertation must be deposited with the

Secretary of the Faculty at least ten days before the commencement of the

Examination at the close of the Lectures. These copies are preserved in

the Medical Library ; and it is required, that they should be written on Let-

ter paper of medium size, with a wide margin, left for the purpose of bind-

ing them into volumes.

LIBRARY.

The Medical Library, attached to this School, is one of the best in the

United States. It contains about 3400 vols., principally modern works,

which have been selected with much care ; and is annually increasing. It

embraces an extensive and valuable collection of Plates, among which are

the works of Albinus, Baillie, Bateman, the Bells, Breschet, Bright,Carswell,

Cloquet, Cooper, Cruveilhier, Home, Hooper, Lizars, Maygrier, Scarpa, See-

rig, Swan, Tiedemann, Vicq d'Azyr, Weber, &c. &c.

MEDICAL SCHOOL. 31

All the Members of the Medical Class are entitled to borrow two volumes

a week from the Library. Those, who are candidates for examination for the

degree of M. D. during the year, are permitted to exchange their books twice

a week, thus giving them the privilege of consulting four volumes each week.

ANATOMICAL CABINET.

The Anatomical Cabinet was purchased in Paris; and most of the Prepa-

rations were there made under the direction of the late Professor Thillaye.

Many wet preparations have however been added from year to year.

—

Its valuable specimens of Morbid and Comparative Anatomy are also con-

stantly increasing; so that every department of practical Anatomy can now

be fully demonstrated from this collection.

The students, divided into classes containing 3 or 4 individuals, are fur-

nished with the separated bones of the Skeleton for examination at their pri-

vate rooms.

The Chemical Department embraces every Article of Apparatus essential

to a complete illustration of the principles of Chemistry. This Course also

includes a very full exhibition of the principles of Common and Galvanic

Electricity, Electro-Magnetism, and Magneto-Electricity, with numerous

experiments.

Lectures will also be given to the Medical Class on those departments of

Natural Philosophy, which are especially connected with Medical Science.

An extensive and valuable collection of Instruments and Apparatus has

been provided for the department of Surgery ; which will be completed by

the Lecturer in this Department. Frequent opportunities for witnessing Sur-

gical operations will be afforded.

All operations in the presence of the Medical Class will be performed

without charge. It is considered important, that this fact should be exten-

sively made known to the Public.

The foregoing is a brief statement of the means ofacquiring Medical Know-

ledge, which may be enjoyed at this Institution. No efforts will be spared

by the Professors which may tend to render these means beneficial, and to

promote the instruction of pupils in Medical Science.
