The Medical School of Maine, by an Act of the Legislature, is placed under the superintendence and direction of the Boards of Trustees and Over- seers of Bowdoin College. By the joint authority of these two Boards all the degrees of M.D. are conferred. The Medical Session commences near the middle of Feb., annually, and * continues thirteen weeks. Students, and particularly candidates for a de- X gree, are examined either daily or weekly on the subjects of the Lectures. ^ @ XXIII. s The Fees for admission to the several courses of Lectures, payable in ad- \ vance, are $50. The Graduation fee, including an engraved Diploma on Parchment, is $18. Matriculation or Library fee, payable but once, $3. Pupils, who have attended two full courses of Medical Lectures, one of which courses must have been at this School, are admitted to all subsequent courses, without payment of any Lecture fees. Students, who have attended two full courses at other regular Medical In- stitutions, are required to pay one third of the usual fees for admission to their first course of Lectures at this School. <£rauuatton. Candidates for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine are examined by the Faculty of Medicine immediately after the termination of the Course of Lec- tures, and also on the second Monday before the annual Commencement of the College, which occurs on the first Wednesday of September. They must have devoted three years to their professional studies under the direction of a regular Practitioner of Medicine. They must have attended two full courses of Medical Lectures in some incorporated Medical Institution, and the last course previous to examination must have been at this Medical School. They must deposite with the Faculty satisfactory certificates of having pursued their Medical Studies for the required term, and of possessing at the time of examination a good moral character.—They must also pass a satis- factory Examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Chemistry, Materia Medica, Pharmacy, Obstetrics, and the Theory and Practice of Physic. They must read and defend a Thesis or Dissertation on some Medical subject, in the presence of the Faculty of Medicine. Those Candidates, who have not received a Collegial education, must satisfy the Faculty of their proficiency in the Latin Language and in Natu- ral Philosophy. Degrees are conferred at the close of each course of Lectures, and at the annual Commencement of the College in September. A fair copy of the Thesis or Dissertation must be deposited with the Secretary of the Faculty at least ten days before the commencement of the Examination at the close of the Lectures. These copies are preserved in ; the Medical Library and it is required, that they should be written on Let- | ter of bind- I I paper of medium size, with a wide margin, left for the purpose ? ing them into volumes. £ [Ol (?lj5P> S^t++~~. . .^-.-~^. -~*~^. „•,,,/*• « (gjKgjQL**^-. '"**§)© XXIV. (%) 3Li&tar#. The Medical Library, attached to this School, is one of the best in the United States. It contains about 3200 vols, principally modern works, which have been selected with much care ; and is annually increasing. It embraces an extensive and valuable collection of Plates, among which are the works of Albinus, Baillie, Bateman, the Bells, Breschet, Bright, Carswell, Cloquet, Cooper, Cruveilhier, Home, Hooper, Lizars, Maygrier, Scarpa, See- rig, Swan, Tiedemann, Vicq d'Azyr, Weber, &c. &c. All the Members of the Medical Class are entitled to borrow two volumes a week from the Library. Those, who are candidates for examination for the degree of M.D. during the year, are permitted to exchange their books twice a week, thus giving them the privilege of consulting four volumes each week. Anatomical Cabinet. The Anatomical Cabinet was purchased in Paris ; and most of the Prepa- rations were there made under the direction of the late Professor Thillaye. Many wet preparations have however been added during the past year. Its valuable specimens of Morbid and Comparative Anatomy are also con- stantly increasing ; so that every department of practical Anatomy can now be fully demonstrated from this collection. The students, divided into classes containing 3 or 4 individuals, are fur- nished with the separated bones of the Skeleton for examination at their pri- vate rooms. The Chemical Department embraces every Article of Apparatus essential to a complete illustration of the principles of Chemistry. This Course also includes a very full exhibition of the principles of Common and Galvanic Electricity, and Electro-Magnetism, with numerous experiments. Lectures will also be given to the Medical Class on those departments of Natural Philosophy, which are especially connected with Medical Science. An extensive and valuable collection of Instruments and Apparatus has been provided for the department of Surgery 5 which will be completed by the Lecturer in this Department. Frequent opportunities for witnessing Sur- gical operations will be afforded. All operations in the presence of the Medical Class will be performed without charge. It is considered important, that this fact should be exten- sively made known to the Public. The foregoing is a brief statement of the means ofacquiring Medical Knowl- edge, which may be enjoyed at this Institution. No efforts, which may tend to render these means beneficial, and to promote the instruction of pupils in the Science of Medicine, will be omitted by the Professors. --~*+*srj+
