The Medical School was established by an Act of the Legislature, passed June 27th, 1820, and is under the direction of the Boards of Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College.—The Medical Lectures commence, annually, about the middle of February, and continue three monihs. The fees for admission to the several Courses of Lectures are as follows: Theory and Practice of Physic $15. Anatomy and Sur- gery $15. Chemistry and Materia Medica $15. Obstetrics $5.

There is no matriculation fee.

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 devoted three years to professional studies under the

direction of a regular practitioner 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, Obstetrics, Surge-

ry, 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. Degrees are conferred at the close of the Lectures, and at (he annual Commencement of the College in September, Graduating fee, includ- ing Diploma, $10. Students are allowed free access to the Library, which contains about 2700 vols., principally modern works, which have been selected with much care. The Library also contains an extensive and valuable collec- tion of Plates, among which are the splendid works of Albinus, —Vicq D'Azyr,—Cloquet,—Lizars,—Home,—Scarpa,—Cooper,—The Belle,

Baillie,—Bateman , &c. 24

The Anatomical Cabinet, which was received from Europe, and form- ed in part the private cabinet of the late Prof. Thillaye, of Paris, con- tains all the preparations , which will be found necessary for demonstra- tions, and embraces many valuable specimens in Morbid and Compara- tive Anatomy.

The Chemical and Philosophical apparatus is ample, and furnishes means for full courses of Lectures on these subjects. By the liberality of the Legislature, $1000 are annually received by this Institution ; and the Faculty are thereby enabled to make valuable and important additions to the Library, Apparatus and Cabinet, and thus greatly to increase the facilities for obtaining a knowledge of Medicine and its collateral Sciences. Every exertion is made to render the course of Instruction full and satisfactory.
