On every Saturday members of the Senior Class deliver original essays in the chapel. French, Spanish and German may be studied, if required by parents.

On each day of the week, except Saturday, there are three recitations of one hour each for every class. On Saturday each class recites once. The instructions of the College are conveyed in part by lectures, but principally by the study of the most approved text books, aided by the explanations of the Professors. The diligence of the student is tested by rigid daily examination. The character of each recitatipn is recorded, and the results communicated to parents or guardians at the end of each term. At the end of each term public examinations of the classes are held by the Faculty, and the students who are distinguished during the term are class- ed in the order of merit. Defective students are not allowed to proceed to a higher class, and incompetent students are dismissed from the institution. Negligent and indolent students are transferred to a lower class when unable to proceed with the studies of their own class. The terms for instruction in the regular studies of the College already enumerated, are $25 per term, payable in advance. The modern languages are taught by approved instructors, at a moderate additional expense. Students not from the City of Philadelphia will, if it be request- ed by their parents, have one of the Faculty appointed as a guardian, who will take charge of the disbursements and attend to the comfort and well-doing of the individual. The degree of Master of Arts may be conferred on the alumni of the University, bachelors in the arts of three years' standing, who shall apply for that honour. Any master of arts, upon taking his degree, may deliver a public dissertation, at the Commence- ment at which his degree is conferred, under the direction of the Provost. A public Commencement for conferring degrees is held on the 15th of July, unless that day fall on Saturday or Sunday, when the Commencement is held on the Friday preceding the 15th. REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT.

THE Medical Department is under the immediate government of the Medical Professors, who constitute the Faculty of Medi- cine, subject to the rules and statutes of the Board of Trustees. It includes A Professorship of ANATOMY, A Professorship of the PRACTICE or PHYSIO, and CLINICAL MEDICINE, A Professorship of MATERIA MEDICA and PHARMACY, A Professorship of CHEMISTRY, A Professorship of SURGERY, A Professorship of OBSTETRICS, and the DISEASES OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN, A Professorship of the INSTITUTES or MEDICINE. The Medical Faculty hold meetings for the purpose of arrang- ing and conducting the business of their department, and estab- lishing proper rules and regulations for the preservation of order and decorum among the medical students. They appoint one of their own members to act as Dean, whose duty it is to keep the Minutes of the Faculty, to arrange the business of examining the candidates for medical degrees, to conduct the business of the Faculty at their meetings, and to attend to correspondence. The Session for the Medical Lectures begins annually on the first Monday of November, and ends in March. The Commencement for conferring Medical Degrees is held by a special mandamus of the Board of Trustees, early in April, and within as short a time as possible after the examinations of candidates are over. The following are the regulations at present in force in relation to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. 1. Every candidate for this degree must have attained the age of twenty-one years, have applied himself to the study of Medicine for three years, and have been, during that time, the private pupil, for two years at least, of a respectable practitioner of Medicine. 2. The candidate must have attended two complete courses of the following lectures in this Institution: Anatomy, Practice of Physic and Clinical Medicine, Materia Medica and Pharmacy, Chemistry, Surgery, Obstetrics and the Diseases of Women and Children, Institutes of Medicine. 3. He must also have attended one course of Clinical Instruc- tion in the Philadelphia Hospital, (.Blockley,) or the Pennsylvania Hospital, or some other Institution approved of by the Faculty of Medicine. 4. Medical students who have attended one complete course in a respectable Medical School, where the attendance on two complete courses is necessary to a degree, where the same branches are taught as in this, and which is placed upon the ad Eundem of this school, are permitted to become candidates by attendance here for one full course. 5. When candidates for a Medical Degree apply to the Dean for admission, they must exhibit their tickets to prove that the above Regulations have been complied with. 6.'Each candidate, at the time of his application, which should be on or before the first day of February, must deliver to the Dean of the Medical Faculty, a Thesis, composed by himself, on some medical subject. This Thesis is referred to one of the Professors, who shall examine the candidate upon it, and make his report to the Medical Faculty before a vote is taken. 7. When a candidate is rejected, his essay will be retained by the Medical Faculty. 8. When candidates withdraw their essays, they will, upon re- application, be placed at the foot of the list. 9. The Essay must be in the candidate's own hand-writing O' and must be written uniformly on paper of the same size, the alternate pages being left blank.* 10. General bad spelling in a Thesis, or general inattention to the rules of grammar, will preclude a candidate from examination for a degree. 11. A Thesis may be published by the candidate if he desire it, the permission of the Professor by whom he was examined thereon being first obtained; but no alteration shall be made therein \yithout the consent of the Professor. 12. The voting on the case of' each candidate is by private ballot, and three negative votes reject him. 13. Each candidate shall pay the fees of graduation-, at the time of his examination, or before receiving notice of his success; and before his name can be entered on the Register of passed candidates, for the purpose of being reported to the Board of Trustees and included in the mandamus for a degree. 14. Candidates who have passed their examination, and in other respects complied with the regulations, are to be reported by the Dean to the Provost, who will communicate such report to the Board of Trustees, in order that, if approved of by them,' their mandamus be issued for conferring the degree. 15. The degree will not be conferred upon a candidate who absents himself from the public commencement, except by special permission of the Medical Faculty. 16. Graduates of Medical Schools, on the ad Eundern list, by attending one complete course in this Institution, are put upon the same footing with students who have attended two complete courses here.

» The Essay must be written on Thesis paper, which can be procured at the Medical bookstores; this is for the purpose of convenient binding together into volumes. The following form of the title page is to be observed: An Essay on /or the Degree of Doctor of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, by (name in full) of Town County, State of Residence in City, Preceptor, Duration of studies, Presented (date) Rule of Examinations for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. The names and essays of the candidates are to be presented to the Dean on or before the first day of February in each year. The candidates are then to be divided, either by their own ar- rangement or by that of the Dean, into classes of eight persons each. These classes will be designated numerically and according to lot. The examinations will begin on the last Monday in February or the first Monday in March, and be so conducted as to have the commencement early in April. No person's name will be received on a class unless his essay is in possession of the Dean—neither is his name to be attached to a class by any other than the Dean, except he has signified his desire to that effect. The classes are to call at the houses of the several Professors, or at some other place designated by the latter; and when in' attendance, each of the individuals composing a class is to be examined separately, and in the order of his name on the list of his class. Each Professor is to keep a list of those examined by him, and opposite to the name of each individual examined is to note the result, so as, on consulting his paper, to be able to vote in the affirmative or negative as to the qualifications for a degree. As the examinations of each group of classes shall be completed, the Faculty is to meet—the names of the candidates ex* amined are to be read by the Dean—and as each name is called off, the Professors are to consult their memoranda, and if no remarks be made, are to proceed to vote by ballot. If there should not be three negative votes, the candidate is to be considered as having passed, and is to be entitled to his degree. Should three black balls be cast against any individual, he is not to be considered as absolutely rejected, but is to have the privilege of an- other examination before the whole Faculty in general session. If, upon the name of a candidate being called out, one or more of the Faculty have any remarks to make in relation to his qualifications, they are to be heard before the vote is taken. E At the close of each meeting, the Dean is to make known the result of the ballot, by note, to each of the successful candidates, who is to pay his graduation fees before the note referred to will be delivered by the Janitor. The candidates in classes being thus disposed of, the Faculty i« then to proceed to the examination of those who may have preferred the old plan, and afterwards of those who, having received three negative votes, may still choose to avail themselves of the opportunity of a final examination offered by the Faculty. If any candidate who may not have succeeded in the first ballot, shall decline an examination before the Faculty in general session, he is to have the, privilege of withdrawing his Thesis, without being considered as rejected. If a Thesis be found remarkable for any good quality, the fact is to be reported by the Professor possessing it to the Faculty at their meeting, who may take upon it such action as they may deem advisable.
