The Regular Course oflnstruction in the Medical Departments of the University of Nashville and of Vanderbilt University will com mence on Monday, the 4th day of October next, and end on the last Thursday in February, r88r, which is Commencement Day. A Preliminary Course of Instruction will be given by the Profes sors, free of charge, commencing on the rst of September, at which time the AnatomicaL Rooms will be open. The facilities for the study of Practical Anatomy are complete. In again issning the Annual Announcement, the attention of the medical profession and that of the public is called to the UNEXAMPLED PROSPERJTY which has attended this School. During the session just concluded, this prosperity reached its highest point since the war. The number of students matriculating was nearly three hundred and fifty, and for .the next winter, the attendance promises to be even greater. The munificent ENDOWMENT of buildings on which the School was founded, has been from time to time greatly increased and extended. Its splendid equipment of Hospital facilities, Museum, Cabinets, Apparatus, etc., enables its corps of teachers to maintain the distinction it has so long held among American Schools of Medicine. As an Alma Mater of Phy sicians, it now numbers MORE THAN Two THOUSAND in its catalogue of Graduates. · liOCATION. It would be difficult to find a city combining more advantages, as a location for a Medical School, than Nashville. Highly favored in climate, midway between the cold of more northern cities and the debilitating temperature of the extreme South; a great railroad cen tre, to which lines converge from all directions; having an active population of fifty thousand; surrounded by an exceedingly fertile and beautiful country, thickly peopled; the capital of the State; the location of the Blind and. Lunatic Asylums; the seat of great Universities-all make it a place for a School of Medicine. 6 UNIVERSITY OF NASHVILLE AND COLLEGE BUILDINGS AND MUSEUM. The buildings occupied by the Medical School and the Hospital form a large and commodious edifice of imposing appearance, front ing both on College and Market streets. The College building has been completely remodeled. A large ,and commodious Lec ture Hall, capable of seating five hundred students, and provided with comfortable opera seats, has been erected. The seats are numbered and will be assigned to students in the order in which they matriculate. The building is heated by hot air furnaces, which insures perfect comfort during the coldest weather, and is ventilated by flues com municating with the furnace stack. The Hospital has been enlarged by the addition of three wards and an Ampitheatre for Clinical and Operating purposes. Besides there is a large and inviting Museum Room, together .with two large and well ventilated Dissecting Rooms, Special Labo ratories, Professors' and Apparatus Rooms, Janitors' Rooms, etc. The entire building is supplied with water and gas. The Museum is noted for its extent, and the value and variety of its Anatomical, Physiological, Pathological, Surgical and Obstetrical Specimens, and for its Cabinet of Materia Medica. It has been re cently re-arranged, and rendered more complete by new additions. The Chemical portion is well supplied with medicinal substances and preparations, and such other articles as may be required in the elu cidation of the theory and practice of Chemi~try and Pharmacy. METHOD OF TEACHING. It is the purpose of the Faculty to make the teaching thorough and practical. Ft:lle Lectures will be delivered daily, in the College Halls, upon the different subjects of the course. Daily examinations or reviews will be held by each Professor at the 8e~inning of his hour, in order that the facts of the previous lect11re may be impressed upon the minds of Students. The various courses will be illustrated by models, anatomical, botanical and chemical specimens, experiments, dissections, clinics and surgical operations, and by such other means as may make the instruction imparted practical and pointed. The Cabmets of Anatomy, Physiology, Pa thology, Obstetrics, Surgery, Materia Medica and Chemistry, are richly supplied with Preparations and Specimens, which will be used as occasion demands. The Chair of Obstetrics, in addition to its full supply of Models in Wax, Apparatus and Instruments, has recently had added to it VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY 7 Modern Plates and Diagrams, making complete its equipage for the elucidation of the entire Course. The Cabinet of Materia Medica has also been liberally supplied with Plates, representations of Me- dicinal Plants, specimens of Drugs and Chemicals, and all the ap- · p1iances for the illustration of this branch. HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL INSTRUCTION. The Hospital building, erected by the Faculty, and under their exclusive control, has been enlarged by the addition of three large wards to its already commodious accommodations, it has a frontage of one hundred and fifty-four feet, with other dimensions in pro portion, and adjoins the ColLege edifice. Its wards, well filled at all times with material for Surgical and Medical teaching, are immediately accessible from the Lecture Halls. This 1s a peculiar feature, enjG>yed by few medical institutions, and one which has been pronounced by visitors, of large experience as teachers, very super!or and excellent in arrangement. Twice a week Surgical Clinics .are held and Operations performed, when necessary, in the presence of the class. The number of these operations is large, and the variety great, embracing every Surgical disease and injury, with the Surgical operations of the Eye ar.d Ear.* The Obstetrical Ward of the Hospital will be under the Clinical control of the Professor of Obstetrics and his Assistant. It is de signed to render Students familiar with the practical details of Par tuntion, by assigning to their cace, under the supervision of the Pro fessor or Assistant, such cases as may be available, not only in the Hospital, but in private practice also. In this way it is proposed to teach them to diagnose the various presentati0ns and positions, more fully to comprehend the mechanism of labor, and give them facility in manual manipulation and instrumental delivery.
