MEDICAL SCHOOL

OF MAINE.

The Medical School was established by an Act of the Legislature, passed June 27, 1820, and is under the direction of the board of Trus- tees and Overseers of Bowdoin College. The Medical Lectures commence annually, about the middle of February, and continue three months. 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. The

Graduation fee, including the Diploma, is $10. 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, Sur-

gery, 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 the annual Commencement of the College in September. The Library contains about 3000 vols., principally modern works,

which have been selected with much care. It also embraces an exten- sive and valuable collection of Plates, among which are the splendid works of Albinus,—Vicq D'Azyr, —Cloquet,—Lizars,—Home, — Scarpa, — ^Breschet, —Cooper,——The Bells,—Baillie, -rBateman,— — Swan, Hooper, "Weber,—Seerig,—Cruveilhier, &c. The Anatomical Cabinet, which was received from Europe, and formed in part the private Cabinet of the late Professor Thillaye, of Par-

is, 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 subjec s.
