The Medical School was established by an Act of the Legislature, passed
June 27th. 1820. It is under the direction of the Boards »f Trustees and Over- seers of Bowdoin College, and receives from the State Ol.tlOO a year for the pur- pose of making additions to the Library, Cabinet, and Apparatus. —The Medical
Lectures commence, annually, about the middle of February ; and continue three months. The fees of admission are fifteen dollars for the ticket of each
Professor. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine are examined by the Faculty of Medicine at the termination of each course of Lectures. They must have de- voted three years to professional studies under the direction of a regular practi- tioner of medicine, and must have attended two full courses of Lectures, the last of which must have been at this Institution. They must pass a satisfactory examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica, Pharmacy,
Midwifery, Surgery and the Theory and Practice of Physic ; and must publicly read and defend a Dissertation on some Medical Subject. Those candidates, who have not received a collegial education, must satisfy the Faculty of their
proficiency in the. Latin Language and in Natural Philosophy.
Student-, arc allowed free access to the Library, which contains about 1,500 vol. principally modern works, which have been selected with much care. The
Library also contains an extensive and valuable collection of Plates, among which are the splendid works of Alhinus, —Vicq D'Azyr,—Cloquet,—Home,
Scarpa,— Cooper,—the Bells, — Baillie, —Batemau, tyc. Many recent and approv- ed works have been added since the last course of Lectures.
The Anatomical Cabinet, which was received from Europe, and formed in part the private cabinet of the late Prof. Thillaye, of Paris, contains all the pie- parations, which will be found ucc.'.seary for demonstrations, and embraces many vah' imens in Morbid and Comparative Anatomy.
The Chemical and Philosophical apparatus is ample, and furnishes means for
full courses of Lectures on these subjects.
