It was organized on the present basis iu 1854. The Institution is consequently one-of the oldest Medical Colleges in the United States. It has been the custom of the Medical Faculty to secure the best teaeMrs that wuld be obtained. This custom has been facilitated by the fact that the regular sessions are held from March to July, when Professors in other schools are at liberty to contribute their services to the University of Vermont. The history of the College, and its present prosperity, afford abundant eviden'ce that the working of this plan is eminently successful. Not since the organization · of this Department have its prospects been brighter than they are at present. The qua~ty of the scholastic teaching has been steadily improved ; the require ments for entrance and for graduation are equivalent to those of the most ad vanced medical institutions; the clinical advantage\have been increased from year to_year, until now the clinics of this school are equalled only by those of the largest metropolitan colleges. During the session of 1892, tlfe thirty-ninth in ~umber since the organization of the C0llege on its present basis, the Faculty will make every effort to provide thorough scholastic and clinical instruction in each department of kledi;:a! Sciepce. • MEDICAL DEPARTMENT U. V. M. 5 THE COLLEGE BUILDING. GIFT OF MR. JOHN P. HOWARD. The new College Building was erected in 1884. It is a substantial brick edifice, situated on Pearl Street, in the City of Burlington, on the north side of and immediately overlooking the College Park. The lecture room amphithe atre will seat comfortably three hundred and fifty students. The laboratorie$ for Practical Chemistry and Physiology, and the Dissecting Room for Practical Anatomy, are ample in size, and supplied with the modern convenieJO!ces and apparatus required for chemical experiments and physiolo gical and anatomical demonstrations. The College Museum is spacious, well lighted, and contains a large and carefully arranged collection of specimens and preparations-many of them rare-illustrati.qg both normal and abnormal structures. The Museum is always open to the students. • The whole building is heated by steam, thoroughly ventilalfd, and, in all its appointments, admirably fitted for medical teaching. P .LAN OF INSTRUCTION. HE P.LAN OF INSTRUCTION adopted by this Institution comprises T a complete course of Lectures upon the seven branches of ll'Iedical Sci • ence, viz: Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica and The rapeutics, Surgery, Obstetrics, and the Theory and Practice of Medicine. 1n order to render the instruction as thorough as possible, the Faculty have selected a number of medical gentlemen to lecture upon special subjects. Topics not h·eated in detail by the regular Professors will thus receive special elabora tion from gentlemen who are acknowledged authorities in their respective spe cialties, each one giving a short and practical course of lectures. This plan, which was adopted for the first time more than ten years ago, has been of great value to and is highly appreciated by the students. • 6 MEDICAL DEPARTMENT U. V. M. @utfirze of tf\e @our~e of l§ecture.e>. - §§-- ' OBSTETRICS AND DISEASES OF WOMEN. PROF. A.. _F. A. KING. This Course will comprise a series of Lectures on the Science and Practice of Midwifery, together with additional Lectures on Gym-ecology. The main purpose of the lecturer will be to explain, impress and simplify the matters re quired to be studied in the books, so as to render them more easily intelligible, and hence more pleasing and satisfactory to the student. The Lectures will be illustrated by diagrams, models, natural preparations, manikins and instruments. Mathieu's Elastic Manikin, for demonstrating Obstetrical operations, is used before th~ Olass in the_Lecture Room. In the Department of Gynrecology the various instrument~ and appliances required in treating the Diseases of Women will be exhibited, and their uses fully explained. The pathological conditions of the female organs will'be illustrated by ~pecimens and colored diagrams ; and the various Surgical oper ations belonging to Gynrecological practice will be shown both clinically and upon the cadaver, by Prof. W. Wotkyns SeymoUT, Special Professor of Sur gical Gynrecology. PRACTICE OF :MEDICINE. PROF. A. P. GRINNELL. In this department every effort will be made to associate didactic and .. clinical teaching, enabling the student to become thoroughly acquainted with the methods adopted for investigation of disease, and the practical application of remedies at the bedside. The didactic Lectures will be ill~strated by pathological specimens, charts, casts, diagrams, and micro-photographs. From the Mary Fletcher Hospital patients will be secured, whereby the student will be brought in direct contact with the subject under discussion. Special attention will be paid to Physical Diagnosis, thus affording to every student a knowledge of diseases· of the chest, and the most improved methods of diagnosis. , MEDICAL DEPARTMENT U. V. 11L 7 CHEMISTRY AND TOXICOLOGY. PRo>·, RUDOLPH A. WITTHAUS. The instruction in this department will be adapted to' the special reqillre ments of the practitioner in medicine. Th'e Philosophy of( Chemistry will be taught in such a manner as to afford the students a firm ground-work for the rational study of the subject. Those portions of~practical chemistry having a direct bearing upon physiology, pathology and therapeutics will be particularly dwelt upon, to the exclusiori of those portions whlch are of mere technical in terest. The more important application of chemistry to the science of poisons will receive particular attention.
