The medical school was established by an Act of the Legislature, passed June 27th, 1820. It is under the direction of the Boards of Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College, and receives from the State $1,000 a year for the purpose of making additions to the Libra- ry, Cabinet, and Apparatus.—The Medical Lectures commence, an- nually, about the middle of February; and continue three months. The fees of admission to all the Lectures are fifty dollars. 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 at- tended 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,Mid- wifery, Surgery, 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. Students are allowed free access to the Library, which contains about 2000 vols, principally modern works, which have been selected with much care. The Library also contains an extensive and valua- ble collection of Plates, among which are the splendid works of Al- binus,—Vicq D'Azyr,—Cloquet,—Home,—Scarpa,—Cooper,—the Bells,—Baillie,—Bateman, &c. Many recent and approved works have been added since the last course of Lectures. The Anatomical Cabinet, which was received from Europe, and formed in part the private cabinet of the late Prof. Thillaye, of Paris, contains all the preparations, which will be found necessary for de- monstrations, and embraces many valuable specimens in Morbid and Comparative Anatomy. The Chemical and Philosophical apparatus is ample, and furnishes means for full courses of Lectures on these subjects.
