' ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT. ~I·189l·l€- HE Medical Department of the University of Vermont and State T Agricultural College was chartered by the State in 1823. It was organized on the present basis in 1854. The institution is consequently one of the oldest Medical Colleges in the United States. Among the distinguished medical teachers who have occupied chairs in the Medical Faculty may be mentioned Nathan R. Smith, Alonzo Clark, John Pome roy, Nathan Smith, Wm. Paddock, S. W. Thayer, Drs. Bliss, Edward E . Phelps, Benjamin Lincoln, Horatio Nelson, Profs. Perkins, Orrin Smith, Wm. Darling and J. L. Little. Other teachers of professional eminence, still living, who were formerly associated with the Medical Faculty, are as follows : Hammond, Ordronaux, Roosa, Dunster, Yale, Antisell, E. J. Phelps, A. L. Ranney, J. W. Wright, W. 0 Moore, G. M. Garland and A. T. Woodward. It has been the custom of the Medical Faculty to secme the best teachers that could be obtained. This custom has been facilitated by the fact that the regular sessions are held from March to July, when profes sors in other schools are at liberty to contribute their services to the Uni versity of Vermont. The history of the college, and its present prosperity, afford abundant evidence that the working of this plan is emineptly successful. Not since the organization of this Department, have its pros pects been brighter than they are at present. The quality of the scholas tic teaching has been steadily improved; the requirements for entrance and for graduation are equivalent to those of the most advanced medical institutions ; the clinical advantages 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 1891, the thil:ty eighth in number since the organization of the college on its present basis, the Faculty will make every effort to provide thorough scholastic and clinical instruction in each department of Medical Science. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT U . V. M. 5 THE COLLEGE BU ILDING. GIFT OF MR. JOHN P. HOWARD. The new College Building was erected in 1884. It is a substantial brick edifice, situated on Pearl stTeet, in the City of Burlington, on the north side of and immediately oveTlooking the College PaTk. The lecture room amphitheatre will seat comfortably tlll'ee hundred and fifty students. The laboratories for Practical ChemistTy and Physiology, and the Dissecting Room for Practical Anatomy, are ample in size and supplied with the modern conveniences and appaTatus required for chemical experiments a.nd physiological and anatomical demonstrations. The College Museum is spacious, well lighted, and contains a large and carefully aTranged collection of specimens and preparations-many of them Tare-illustrating both noTmal and abnormal structures. The museum is always open to the students. The whole building is heated by steam, thoroughly ventilated, and, in all its appointments, admiTably fitted for medical teaching. P-lan of I nstruction. The plan of instTuction adopted by this Institution comprises a com plete course of Lectures upon the seven branches of Medical Science, viz: Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Surgery, Obstetrics, and the Theory and Practive of Medicine. In 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 treated in detail by the regular Professors will thus receive special elaboration from gentlemen who are acknowledged authoTities in their respective specialties, each one giving a short and practical'course of lectures. This plan, which was a.doptecl for the first time more than ten years ago, has been of great value to and is highly appreciated by the students. , ) I, t• r:-"' - = 6 MEDICAL DEPAR'l'MENT U. V. M. OUTLINE OF THE COURSE OF LECTURES. 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 Gynrecology. The main purpose of the lectw·er will be to explain, impress and simplify the matters required 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 the Class in the lecture room. In the Department of Gynrecology, the various instruments and appliances required in treating the Diseases of Women will be exhibited, and their uses fully explained. The pathological conditions of the Fe male organs will be illustrated by specimens and colored diagrams; and the various Surgical Operations belonging tQ Gynrecological Practice will be shown both clinically and upon the cadaver, by Prof. W . Wotkyns Seymom·, Special Professor of Sm·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 ac quainted with the methods adopted for investigation of disease, and the practical application of remedies at the bedside. The didactic Lectures will be illustrated by pathological specimens, charts, casts, diagrams, and micro-photographs. From the Mary Fletcher Hospital and the Burlington Free Dis pensary, 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 sturlent a knowledge of diseases of the chest, and the most im proved methods of diagnosis. MEDICAL DEPARTMENT U. V.
