BOSTON, MARCH, 1880. VOL. VII. SINCE the last issue of the YEAR Boox, authority has been given for the holding of examinations for admission to the College of Liberal Arts by University Examiners in places at a distance from Boston. Principals of preparatory schools who would be glad of such an accommodation are invited to corre- spond with tl1e Dean of the College. Drei Jahr' ist eine kurze Zeit, Exclaims the student in Faust, when he begins to inquire about the study of medicine. Since his day, the German authorities have come to agree with this off'-hand judgment, and have accordingly lengthened the obligatory university course for medical students to four years. In Italy, by a royal decree of Oct. 8, 1876, the term is prolonged to six years, with severe biennial examinations. Moreover, in each country, in order to obtain admission to this university course, the student must already have graduated at a preparatory college whose curricu- lum is six years in duration. What the requirements oi' Ameri- can medical schools have been, one is really ashamed to state where any foreigner may read them. Still, as our leading paper shows, the signs in this department of education are at present auspiciousg and possibly shame at our past record as a nation will just now but hasten a greatly needed reform. The doctrine that a university should exist for the benefit of a single class or sex will soon belong to the realm of pedagogi- cal palasontology. Less than a month ago the venerable head of tl1e wealthiest and most numerously attended educational institution in the United States, President Barnard of Columbia College, wrote as follows: H What has been actually accom- plished is amply sufficient to justify the conviction that the Q I f We 4 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. question of the admission of women to the lecture-halls of our highest institutions of learning is only a question of time. This measure, which has originally common sense in its favor, is supported by a force of public opinion which is constantly and steadily growing in strength. It finds its principal opposi- tion in blind and unreasoning prejudice, and in a regard for a usage which has no better justification than that it is tradi- tional. Most of the arguments employed by our opponents are too frivolous and, unsubstantial to' be worthy'of attentiong while many are miserable attempts at satire, which betray the conscious weakness of their authors, and are as silly in sub- stance as they are unamiable in spirit. ff The positive evidences of our progress are manifest enough. They present themselves on every side, as well abroad as at home. Conservative England, with all her proverbial and almost superstitious respect for traditions, and all her constitu- tional reluctance to depart from old ways, even when they are shown to be wrong ways, is beginning to treat this subject with a grave earnestness which makes it plain that she cannot long persist in restricting the privileges of her great universities to the youth of a single sex .... As I survey the field of contro- versy, nothing is more manifest than that the cause of univer- sity education for women is gaining ground in New England daily. One after another her prominent educators, one after another her eminent citizens, are giving in their adhesion to the proposed measure. We hear, on the other hand, of no renunciations on the part of any who have once enlisted in this cause. It need hardly be said, that in a question of public opinion upon any subject whatever, where changes are always going on, and always going on in the same direction, the revolution no matter how slow the progress, must be complete at last. I have myself, therefore, no question that the time is coming, and that, relatively to the lifetime of nations, it is probably not very distant, when all our principal universities- Harvard and Yale, and Princeton and Columbia, and the rest - will open their lecture-rooms as freely to women as to men. The Independent, Feb. 19, 1880. Other striking indications of the progress of public sentiment on this subject are given in the last Annual Report of Boston University.

As to the fact, the experts who have been consulted in the case have all agreed. The disorder being of a very complicated nature, however, it is not surprising, that, in the diagnosis and prognosis, there has been decid- edly less'of unanimity. As to the etiology of the trouble, some, with Dr. Pepper, have laid great stress upon an alleged excess of nutrition, others, with Dr. Davis, have directed attention to the obvious defects of the mas- ticatory, digestive, and a.ssimilative apparatus of the pa- tient, others still have thought that the noxious climatic and telluric influences of our new, undrained, and poorly- aerated American society, should bear the chief burden of blame. Accordingly, when it has come to the prescrip- tion of a rational and effective therapeutic treatment, the doctors have widely and hopelessly disagreed. This has left the case largely to laymeng and this, we are strangely told,1 is the first auspicious circumstance to be noted. At first blush such an assertion would seem to involve a grave reflection upon the profession at large, but it must be remembered that nothing is more unusual, or considered more unprofessional, than for the physician, when a patient, to treat himself. n How far a physician may build his hopes of medical reform upon the non-medical public in its civil capacity has recently found a remarkable illustration in a commu- nication addressed by a New-York physician to his High- ness, Prince Bismarck, and published in the Aerztliches Vereinsblatt of last June, under the superscription, Wtum of an American Physician on the Relation of the Physician to the State. In this elaborate and forcible communica- tion the author, Dr. B. Segnitz, demands, in the interest of science and in the interest of the public, the full assump- tion of the care of health by the State. He insists, that, 1 'The non-medical public is probably the only source from ivlilch efectual reform can be expected. - The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, July, 1878, p. 186. 24 Bosrozv UNIVERSITY YEAR Booze. until the physician is emancipated from his humiliating dependence on his patients for recognition and pecuniary support, there can never be an appropriate testing of can- didates, an unselfish professional body, nor a safe practice. The State should prescribe the most thorough education possible, and it should institute the most searching exami- nations as thc portal to practice g but, when the candidate has met all these preliminary demands of the State, it, in turn, should make him a member of the civil service, duly appoint him to a medical parish, and provide him an adequate salary. Thereafter his services, like those of a judge or general, should belong wholly to the community, and even the acceptance of the smallest present from a grateful patient should be strictly forbidden by law. All medical practice by persons other than the State-appointed physicians should also be made a punishable misdemeanor. That such a proposal should come from a country where the State has sought to give the maximum of free- dom to the citizen, both as physician and as patient, is, to say the least, significant. It is another utterance of that 'f despair of freedom which has lately led the advocates of medical reform in England to place their only hope in a prompt and thorough-going intervention of the civil power-.1 W Meanwhile, to the despondent American it should be instructive, that in France, where five years ago the State created and administered all appliances for medical educa- tion, and more entirely regulated medical practice than perhaps i11 any other country in the world, there has been complaint of sore evils in the profession, and an attempt to remedy them by authorizing the establishment of free 1 Boston University Year Book, Vol. IV. p. 20. - In what piquant contrast to this blind faith in an omnipotent State stands the delicious bitterness of this utterance of President Henri Roger at the opening of the last annual meeting of the Association Gcncrale de Prcvoyance et de Secours Mutuels des Mcdecins de France! - Aprcs lc vote de cette loi, une simple autori- sation d'un ministre incompetent et omnipotent ne suifra plus aux, xnedecins ctrangers pour exercer en France.

Here is despair of the State, and a coveting of the progressive and self-helpful influences which are insepa- rable from such powerful competing institutions as the great universities of Germany! The aspiration is a wise oneg but the profession seem to have small hope of its early realization? Is Germany, then, the paradise of this profession, the land in which the ideal has been made real, the country where the medical reformer finds his occupation gone? Here is the omnipotent State, here, furthermore, the fore- most seats of learning. The State demands more rigid training than the most enthusiastic representative of American medical colleges dares suggest. The Univer- sities are ready and able to give it. Can any thing be Wanting here ? Alas! even the German physician is not happy. By recent laws the new Empire has changed his occupation from a liberal ffprofession to a mere trade CGewerbejg has substituted for the old-fashioned free honorarium a legalized tariff of prices for medical serviceg and finally, while exacting the utmost possible in the way of training from all candidates for honorable and legitimate practice, has opened to all others - so, at least, it is alleged-the widest opportunities, if not the strongest invitations, to quackery.

In the language of a leading English journal, speaking of recent government proposals in Germany: ff The medical profession is to be lowered,-its emolu- ments are to be diminishedg the mode of life of its mem- bers rendered more abject, and nearer that of the peasant class,-and thus to become less worthy as an object of ambition by those who from birth are likely to ennoble a trade so miserable. On the other hand, the standard of preliminary education is to be lowered so that men of a lower stamp may find their way into the medical profes- siong for the authorities are too keen not to perceive that it is far easier to stop the entering than hinder the parting medical candidate, and that an easy entrance-examina- tion or abbreviated preliminary training is a far greater inducement than a lowering of the professional standard in another way .... We shall await the issue of this miserable business with great interestg and our German brethren may be assured of the sympathy of the p1'Of9S- sion in Great Britain. From these great evils the German sees no deliverance, save in a fuller organization of the whole body of the pro- fession, and in a discussion of them and of remedies in strong voluntary medical associations like those of Great Britain? 991 1 The Questions of the Day, in the German Medical World.

SYIIIPTOMS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION. 27 Thus, while England has long looked to France as pos- sessed of the true theory and instrument of medical re- form, France has been looking to Germany as showing a better plan g while Germany, in turn, has looked with envy upon the power and commanding leadership of medical societies in the Anglo-Saxon realm. In this way the agitation for medical improvement completes a circuit, returning upon itself. In each of the leading countries of Europe the current sets one way only,- and that a hope- ful one 3 but, studied in international relations, it resembles a vortexlquite as capable of sucking down existing excel- lences as of casting up superior substitutes? Three years ago in these pages, in a paper entitled The Gateways to the Learned Professions, it was shown that the entire and exclusive committal of the custody of these gateways, either to the Profession itself, or to the Scholastic Authorities by which its recruits are trained, or to the State, is fraught with evil, and that only by the co-operation of all these forces can the best results be attained? Precisely this is the impressive lesson of the attempted medical reforms now undergoing discussion in Great Britain, France, and Germany. And one of the fundamentally hopeful things characterizing present move- ments for the improvement of the profession in this coun- 1 As to the system-if such it can be called--of the United States, none seem so poor as to do it reverence. Every one here seems dissat- isfied, and abroad, while English writers are pointing out the superiority of the French or German systems, and French writers are demanding less centralization on the English plan, we nowhere find the system of the United States held up as a model. fzimerican Journal of the Medi- cal Sciences, July, 1878, p. 175.5-But for the symptoms of improvement which we hope to bring out in this paper, we should fear lest our medical education soon cease to possess'the negative virtue of insignihcance, and come to be indicted in the forum of the world's opinion as a nuisance of international dimensions. Already some of the more philosophical stu- dents of civilization have discerned the dehauching influence of our ex- ample upon the ideals and methods of professional education in Europe. See, for example, La Critique Philosophiquc, Politique, Scientyique, Litte- raire. Paris, 1879, pp. 289, 290. Apropos of an article by Ch.

In any enumeration of these movements a prominent place should be given to the agitations which in many of the States have lately secured, or are now aiming to secure, new legislation more effectively protective of the public against uneducated and unprincipled practitioners of medi- cine.1 This is a good cause, in which the State, the School, and the Profession have cordially and most beneficently co-operated. The precise measures for which legal sanc- tion lias been sought have differed in different States, and at successive stages of the agitation in the same State. Thus the bill now before the Massachusetts Legislature is quite unlike the unsuccessful one of 1878. Still all pro- pose measures far in advance of the old laws, and greatly aid the efforts of those who are laboring for a more thor- ough general and professional training of physicians, and for impartial licensing boards. Moreover, the very effort to secure the new enactments has had most liberalizing effects upon all branches of the profession as at present organized. It has led the antagonistic medical societies to recognize each other, and to assent to the recognition long ago accorded by the State. It has contemplated and demonstrated the possibility of educated men of different views in therapeutics sitting upon one and the same Board of Examination and Registration. It has caused men conventionally debarred from consultation in 1 Since 1875 acts of ever-increasing stringency have been passed in each of the British Provinces, in New Hampshire, Vermont, California, Alabama, Illinois, Texas, and other Statesg and laws modelled on the best of these are now under consideration in Iowa and several other States.

It is hardly too much to say that it has inaugurated the disintegration of exclusivism in dogma and in fellowship, and begun to draw the one true and valid line of separation,-that between the ignorant and conceited on the one hand, and the broad and thoroughly trained on the other. A second auspicious movement to be noted 'is the rapid liberalizing of the profession and of the public mind in respect to the desirableness of affording women facilities for obtaining a medical education and for engaging in medical practice. Within a few months, the last of the State Medical Societies of Massachusetts has opened its doors to female candidates for membership.1 The Over- seers of Harvard University have voted, sixteen to ten, t' That, in the opinion of the Board of Overseers, it is expedient, that, under suitable restrictions, women be in- structed by Harvard University in its Medical School. Reviewing the president's late Annual Report, ff The Na- tion resignedly remarks: tt That the Medica-l School will before long be opened to women clearly appears. 2 A large selection from the varied and almost numberless illustrations of the world's progress in this direction is given by Dr. Chadwick, a member of the Massachusetts Medical Society, in the able paper named at the head of the present article. How the battle was first won in England is well told by Mr. Stansfield. Another remarkably hopeful symptom came to the light at the last meeting of the American Medical Association. Ever since the people of Michigan saw fit to establish in their State University a new course of training acceptable 1 In view of an alleged legal difilculty in the way of the proposed method of bringing about the change, the Councillors voted at their Feb- ruary meeting to reconsider. This means a trifling delay, but by no means defeat. , 2 The remarks of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal upon the sub- ject, and especially its unwarrantable and offensive personal reflections upon the President of Harvard Univc1'sity fJan. 22, 18801, betray far less of sweet reasonableness, and of resignation to the inevitable. 30 Bosroiv UNIVERSITY YEAR Booze. l to the second State Medical Society, and to offer to stu- dents a university freedom of election between the two, the members of the first State Society have been not a little disturbed. To narrate all their efforts to compel those of their number who constituted the original Medical Faculty at the University to refuse to serve the State, unless they could monopolize the work of instruction as at first, would require much space. Enough, that on June 6, 1878, at the annual meeting of the American Medical Association, - a body composed of delegates from the so- called 4'regular societies and colleges in the United States,-the quarrel culminated in the proposal of the following amendment to paragraph first, Article I. of the second division of the Code of Ethics of the body :I And hence, it is considered derogatory to the interests of the public and the honor of the profession for any physician or teacher to aid in any way the medical teaching or graduation of persons, knowing them to be supporters and intended practitioners of some irregular or exclusive sys- tem of medicine. This being a proposal to amend the organic law of the Association, it was laid over, under the rules, for one year. At the last meeting of the Asso- qiation, held at Atlanta, Ga., May 7, 1879, the proposed amendment was taken from the table, and put upon its passage. During the discussion Professor Dunster deliv- ered the able and extended argument cited at the head of this paper. In it he opposed the amendment both on technical and general grounds. One of his arguments was thus expressed: But it may be inoperative in another respect,--a purely legal one. For if a student who is a supporter of 'some irregular and exclusive system of medicine,' to quote the words of the amendment, were to apply for admission to any college holding a charter from the State, and comply with their published requirements, and were to be refused admission, he could, if so disposed, compel the college to admit him 5 for I am informed by one of the most eminent jurists in the country, that there SYMPTOJIS IN MEDICAL EDUCATION. 31 is not a court inithe land but would issue a mmwlamus on such a showing. His conclusion was as follows : - Lct me sum up this whole matter, then, by saying that the objections to the proposed amendment are many, and, in my estimation, insuperable and unanswerable. I have shown, or endeavored to show, that it is contradictory to the letter i11 many places, and also to the general spirit of the code as it now stands, that it is grossly illogical, and in its reasoning is discreditable to the scholarship of this Associa- tion, that it is now, and must of necessity always be, inoperative, not only as a matter of every-day practice, but also by reason of certain well-defined legal limitations in which this Association' is without jurisdiction, that it is based upon a fallacious assumption, to wit, that teaching truth and science tends to build up and strengthen irregular and exclusive systems of medicine, that to establish the principle embodied in the amendment - that truth in medicine must not be taught to unbelievers - would prevent the teaching of truth in any department of human learning to skeptics and unbelievers, that the experiences of history are clear and convincing that error, slowly it may be, but surely, disappears before the promulgation of truth, that it is a part of the old-time policy of intolerance and persecution, whose only effect will be to build up and strengthen sectarian medi- cine, and finally, that, by the proposed course, we lay ourselves open to the charge of a want of faith in our own system, and confess our inability to compete with a school of medicine which we believe, both in theory and practice, to be largely based on error, or at all events, to state it as mildly as possible, on a misconception of the truth. By all these considerations, then, I appeal to you, gentlemen, to reach your conclusion with great care and deliberation, make your decision solely with the view of upholding the lasting honor of our noble profession, and take no step that can be construed by the world at large as a confession of a want of faith in the strength and per- petuity of rational medicine, but rather, with a far-sighted, wide- reaching, more generous, and an infinitely wiser policy, let us make a public profession of the faith that is in us by boldly declaring our willingness to educate, and thereby to elevate, every one up to that standard of truth before which error must ultimately and inevitably disappear. Do this, and we shall have no occasion to regret the work of to-day, for it will remove in a large degree the reproaches so often heaped on us for our intolerance and bigotry, and it will open up a new era of generosity and toleration in the treatment of exclusive and irregular systems of medicine. Do the opposite, and adopt this amend- ment, and- it is a stride centuries backward in the historic march of medicine, for it places us right alongside those old worthies -the As- 32 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. clepiadae-whose laws forbade the revealing of 'sacred things except to the elect,' and who exacted from students and strangers the tests of initiation before admitting them to share in their knowledge. Finally, in all your discussions and in your decision, forget me, and forget the great University which I have the honor to represent, for, if you 'can stand the disaster and discredit that must come with the adoption of this amendment, we certainly can stand your censure. That after these brave and eloquent words the Associa- tion found itself unprepared to adopt the amendment is not remarkable. The only action taken upon it was to lay it over for another year. When next May comes, we may be very sure that university freedom of instruction will not lack for new and adequate champions. Still another encouraging sign of progress is seen in the recent establishmentrand successful working of ff The American Medical College Association. This body, or- ganized in 1876, aims to secure among so-called regular medical colleges, concert of effort in improving the quality and raising the standard of their training. Its Articles of Confederation, to be subscribed, published, and con- formed to, by all colleges of the Association, are given below.1 1 Arvrrcnrz I.-Or' :run FACULTY.-The medical members of the Fac- ulty must be regular graduates or licentiates and practitioners of medicine, in good standing, using the word regular in the sense commonly under- stood in the medical profession.

He must produce satisfactory evidence of good moral character, and of having attained the age of twenty-one years. 2. Ile must tile a satisfactory certificate of hav-ing studied medicine for SYMPTOMS 'IN MEDICAL EDUCATION. 33 Thirty-three colleges are now included in the Associa- tion.1 The need for such combined action was very great. The appeals of the more intelligent physicians had proven at least three years under a regular graduate, or licentiate and practitioner of medicine in good standing, using the word regular in the sense com- monly understood in the medical profession. No candidate shall be eligi- ble fer final examination for graduation unless his term of three ycars' study shall have been completed, or shall expire at a date not later than three months after the close of the final examinations, this clause to take effect at and after the session of 1879-80. 3. He must tile the proper oiilcial evidence, that, during the above-men- tioned three years, he has matriculated at some aililiated college or colleges for two regular sessions, and in the course of the same fexcept as provided in 43 has attended two full courses of instruction on the seven topics mentioned in Article II. But the latter, at least, of the two full courses, must have been attended at the college issuing the diploma. No two consecutive courses of instruction shall be held as satisfying the above requirements, unless the time between the beginning of the llrst course and the end of the second ls greater than fifteen months. 4. In case a college shall adopt a systematic graduated scheme of tuition, attendance on the whole of the same shall be equivalent to the requirements mentioned in 3, provided such scheme includes instruction in the seven topics mentioned in Article II., and requires attendance at, at least, two yearly regular Collegiate Sessions of not less than twenty weeks' duration each. 5. The candidate must have passed a personal examination before the Faculty on all seven ol the branches of medicine mentioned in Article II. 6. He must have paid in full all College dues, including the graduation fee. Awrrcnn IV. - Os Hoxomuzr Duounas. -An honorary degree of Doc- tor in Medicine may be granted in numbers not exceeding one yearly, to distinguished physicians or scientific men of over forty years of age. But in such case the diploma shall bear across its face the word Honorary in conspicuous characters, and the same word shall always be appended to the name of the recipient in all lists of graduates.

The medical colleges, writes Dr. Warren, ff are mostly joint-stock. corporations, who furnish as little medical edu- cation as they can sell at the highest rate they can obtain. Their number is excessive, and the competition between them very keen. They are consequently disinelined to introduce any new features which may scare students of low acquirements away, or which may add seriously to the expenses of the institution.l'2 Ten years ago there' was not a medical school in the United States which held regular entrance-examinations even in form. But one, the Medical College of Chicago, presented a graded course of instruction. In a large number of these institutions the candidate could take his degree of Doctor ot' Medicine after attendance a single term ofjifteen or twenty weeks. In some, where attendance two terms was required, the in- Atlanta Medical Collegeg Kentucky School of Medicines fafliliated mem- berjg Nashville Medical Collegeg Medical College of Indiana, Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgeryg Savannah Medical College. Schedule A of the Proposed Act to regulate the Practice of Medicine in Massachusetts enumerates sixty-six regular Medical Schools as reputable, and fairly strict in requirements and examinations. Proba- bly by inadvertence, one member of the Association, the Kansas City College of Physicians and Surgeons, is omitted from the listg while the Nashville School, which serves as medical department to Vanderbilt Uni- versity aud to the University of'Nashvi1le, seems tohcount as two. Cor- recting this omission and double enumeration, it appears that the Asso- ciation includes precisely half of the schools of this medical faith which are accounted reputable. 1 Medical Education in the United States.

Commissioner of Education, 1870, p. 395. 2 Ibid.-To the same effect is the language of Dr. Davis : If you ask me why these reasonable and highly important recommendations have not been adopted by the majority of the schools, I can only point you for answer to the fact, that, while the facility of each frankly acknowledges the defects, . . . each waits for the other to move first, lest, by placing higher requirements upon the time and resources of the student, it should cause its own halls to be deserted for those of its less-exacting neighbor. Con- tributions, 8cc. Washington, 1877, p. 48. I 36 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. struction of the first was simply repeated, and both terms thus brought within the limits of a single year, or even less. Against the whole of them Dr. Davis, one of the most eminent authorities who has written on the history of these colleges, brings the charge of ffeven reducing the final examination to the simple process of asking a few oral questions in the mysterious ' green-room.' 1 In eases where more formal tests were attempted, the candi- date had the satisfaction, as Dr. WVitI'1'8I1 says, of thinking that the College wanted his graduation fee as badly as he wanted its diploma, and that it would pass him if there was the slightest excuse for doing so. QP. 386.Q As recently as in 1877, the defects of the so-called reg- ular medical colleges were thus summed up by Dr. Pepper: lst, The absence of a preliminary examination, 2d, The very short term of studies required, 3d, The want of personal training in the practical. branchesg 4th, The absence of any grading of the curriculum, 5th, The exam- ination of the candidates for the degree by those having a direct pecuniary interest in their success. As yet the American Medical College Association has done nothing to remedy the first, third, fourth, or fifth of these defects. Even in the case of the second, all it has secured is an agreement on the part of the contracting Colleges, that the college year shall be in each institution at least twenty weeks in duration, and that the student shall attend two such lecture-terms during his three years of attention to medical studies. Under the circum- stances, however, even this is a gain not to be despised? 2 1 Conlribulions, Sac., p. 44. 2 Ii one of the agitations for an extension of the term of instruction in the Cmdleges, and for requiring preliminary qualifications of some sort, Professor Martyn Paine of the medical department of the University of New York publicly declared : There is an aristocraticfeature in this move- ment ofthe worst omen C0 Davis, History ofthe American Medical Associa- tion, p. 30. 8 The following, from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, sounds neither generous nor just: The Association appears to be of a mutually protective character designed to keep enterprising faculties from under- SYMPTOIPIS IN ZIIEDICAL EDUCATION. 37 A college year of twenty weeks is certainly better than one of only thirteen 5 and two years of any description are twice as good as one. The greatest gain of all, however, lies in that accomplished mutual understanding and co- operation which lays the basis for future advancement in standards and methods as fast as the Association can see its way open? Both. in the interest of medical education, bidding one another, and not a body bent upon true progress in educa- tion. Such an organization pulls downwards as much as it lifts upwards. - Vol. ci. p. 279. 1 An ofiicer of the Association has kindly furnished for publication in connection with this paper the following statement of some of the ways in which the organization has labored and is laboring to advance the inter- ests of medical education in the United States: 4 1. It has made the Colleges better acquainted with each other, with their methods of work, with their materials for working, with their details of organization and aims for future development. 2. It has induced colleges to live up to their published requirements better than hitherto. 3. It has compelled some colleges, and induced others, so to increase their requirements as to come up to the standard of the Association. Tlms schools have abandoned the practice of giving two graduating courses in one yearg they have lengthened the terms of College study to twenty weeks, and they have demanded attendance upon two full courses of lectures by all candidates for graduation, etc. 4. It has limited the conferring of the degree of M.D. to one definite set of conditions, and so rendered its possession more honorable, 5. It has done much to correct the abuses connected with the bene- flclary system, and to abolish the ' cutting' in published fees and other requirements formerly so common. 6. In the West and South it has greatly strengthened all honest institutions by inducing a mutual confidence and support hitherto unknown. 7. Indirectly it has occasioned the recent rise of lecture fees and the increased requirements for graduation made by many Western schools. By a comparison of the requirements of the American Medical College Association with the requirements of the colleges who have not as yet become members, it will be seen that most of these colleges in one way or another fail to' comply with the standard of the Association. Thus one group of colleges holds its lecture-term only sixteen weeks, while the Asso- ciation requires at least twenty. Another group of these colleges confers the diploma upon those who have attended but one regular course of lec- tures, while the Association demands at least two such regular courses. Another group of colleges takes students at any fee that it can get from them, while the Association demands, that, aside from definite exceptions, all students must pay the advertised fees of each college. Another group of colleges desires tograduate students who take both regular courses during one year, while the Association requires that these courses must be 38 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. and in that of the general public, one can but rejoice that the ruinous competition lately existing between these thirty-three institutions has at last been broken, and that they can now unite their forces to labor for mutual improvement and for the elevation of the standard of other schools connected with their branch of the profes- sion. The main credit for the origination and successful working of the Association seems due to the originators and oiiicers of the American Medical Association, organ- ized in 18-l7.' These had to encounter at the start a fierce opposition from some of the medical colleges, and traces of the old feeling -unfortunately survive to the present day? Within the past decade the rising influence of the lead- ing Universities has introduced into all problems of pro- fessional education in this country a new and powerful factor. Prior to 1870 there was hardly a medical school attended in different years. Another group of colleges graduates students irrespective of any time spent in study of medicine, while the Association requires at least three years of study. It is hoped that one after another of these will so alter its requirements as to be in accord with the Associa- tion, and then become an active member in the same. 1 See History ofthe American Medical Assoeialionjrom its Organization up to January, 1855.

NVe must not be startled if so extern- poraneous an assemblage, while united in' the semblance of parliamentary organization, and before they have settled down into that harmonious and neighborly cordiality which is their ultimate object, should pronounce immature opinions, claim for themselves authority, and hastily denounce friends, or even issue bulls of excommunicatlon of as portentous form and as little significance as the tail of a comet, which may overcast the whole country with its shadow, but which astronomers assure us may be carried in a man's hat ....

Six, regularly chartered in their respective States, are still publicly charged with selling their diplomas outright. There was not a law school whose terms of admission, promotion, and graduation, were not simply disgraceful. It was left for a University School of Law, opened as late as thc year 1872, to present and maintain for the first time in the' United States a three-years' course of legal instruction. It was likewise reserved for a University School of Medicine, opened in 1873, to be the first to pre- sent courses of medical instruction four years in duration, to reinstate the baccalaureate degrees in Medicine and Surgery, and to make three years, attendance upon lccturcs the minimum requirement for graduation! Meantime other and older Universities have not been idle. In the fall of .1875 the- University of Michigan began to require of candidates for admission to its depart- ment of Medicine and Surgery, unless graduates of colleges or academies, a preliminary examination in certain funda- mental studies.2 In 1877 Harvard University introduced the same improvement. The North-western, the Syracuse, and the Iowa State Universities now hold similar entrance- examinations, but the exact year of their introduction is not known to the present writer. The University of Pennsylvania has announced, that, beginning with next autumn, candidates for admission to its medical depart- ment-not graduates of colleges--ff will be required C15 to write a brief essay, not exceeding a page of foolscap, which will serve as a test of qualifications in orthog- 1 Annual Announcement of Boston University School of Medicine for 1878, -the year of the introduction of these three features. 2 The statement of the Dean CAppeudix to I'rcsidcnt's Report, 1879, p. 231, to the effect that at that time no other medical College in the country required such an examination, betrays a lack of full information. In the Boston University School the requirement has existed from the beginning, in 1873. 40 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. raphygand grammar, and CQD to undergo an examination in the elementary principles of Physics as contained in Fownes' Chemistry. 1 The medical circular of Yale is- sued last spring proposed the introduction of an entrance- examiuation to cover English branches, algebra to quad- ratics, two books of Euclid, Balfour Stewart's Elemen- ary Physics, and the translation of Easy Latin prose or Virgil's JEneid. Though the more recent announcement of the last Catalogue shows 'some reduction of these requisitions, and makes it optional with students to pass the examination in them before entering the college, or at any time during their course, there can be little doubt that this institution also will soon take its place with those which maintain some preliminary tests of fitness for en- trance upon the study of medicine. The grading of students into classes, and the extension of the courses of instruction to two and three years, with examinations for promotion from year to year, have been, so far as accomplished, almost entirely the work of the University Schools. The pioneer in this needed reform was the ,Chicago Medical College, the medical department of the North-western University. Founded in 1859, it had the honor of standing for a full decade the solitary repre- sentative of a graded course of medical instruction. In 1869, in its statutes of organization, Boston University adopted for its School of Medicine a graded course of three full years. In 1871 Harvard University introduced a like curriculum, and lent her powerful influence to the reform. The following year Syracuse University organ- ized a medical department upon the same plan, which was also followed in 1877 by the University of Pennsylvania. According to recent announcements, the University of Michigan a-nd Yale College are to introduce the same feature the coming scholastic year. Finally, the improvement of medical education is rapid- 1 The requirement of an examination in one book of Caesar was an- nounced, but, apparently, afterwards withdrawn.

It is already destroying the old barriers of sex-prejudice. It is destined to obliterate the lines of party and sect. The microscope and scalpel and sphygmometer are not sectarian. The new chemistry of our time is not concerned respecting its agreement or disagreement with traditional pharmaceutical theories. In the light of the biology and physiology and pathology of to-day, the wars of the Humorists and Solid- ists seem only a grotesque dream. In the study of the physiological action of drugs, old-schoolmen and new- schoolrnen are coming to vic with each other. Even H provings in sano corpore occur in unexpected quarters? All parties are reaching the conviction that, with the rigid and patient application of scientific methods to all investigations included in and related to medicine, some things can be ascertained and forever established as true science. This true science on which a rational ,practice may then be based is that for which, with unusual eager- ness, students and teachers of all schools are searching, and which when found, and as fast as found, will give them a common platform on which to stand. In this searching and finding all are regulars who conform to the rules of right reason, and all are irregulars and exclusives who place unverifiable traditional dogmas, or a narrow trades-unionism, above the truth. Two months ago an honored French physician, speaking of the undeniable progress of his art, declared that, being in a perpetual becoming, medicine ffdoit avoir ses revolu- tions. 2 The layman rejoices in the admitted progress, 1 Auto-experiment, in The British Medical Journal, Deo. 27, 1879, p. 1030.

One essential condition, however, of such an evolution is the modesty of the truly scientific spirit. The motives of those who devote themselves to its culti- vation must be lofty and unselfish, their purposes must be noble and strenuous. The proverb Galen olat opes must be made to read Galen olat opus. Assumption and bigotry and dogmatism must give place to doeility and candor, and respect for all truth. Without these ethical elements of progress, the future will continue to yield rev- olutions in the place of evolution-catastrophic changes, but no normal growth. Without them the future will still witness such scenes as that witnessed only last November in the highest and most learned and dignified medical body in France,-Dflcaclffmie de M6olecine,- when a renowned investigator closed a scientific memoir with fifteen ringing anathemas upon the dissenters from his'vieW, ending the portentous objurgation with the words:- Finally, - Anathema to the old-time medicine, to all its false principles, to its methods incorrect, to its dognias super- annuated! 4 H Anathema to all the masters who teach these subver- sive doctrines, to the disciples who follow them, to the sick who have the stupidity to ask assistance from the1n! 1 nis' Revolutions cle la Mddecinef' written in the days of the French Revo- lution.

The great fire of Novem- ber, 1872, occasioned a loss of University property amount- ing to more than a quarter of a million of dollars. Fur- thermore, the Rich bequest not coming into the hands of the Trustees until 1882, they have meantime to meet the public expectations, which the auspicious beginning of the institution has created, with means altogether inad- equate to such an undertaking. Thoroughly to equip the University upon the plan and scale proposed, resources several times greater than any now possessed or promised will be absolutely necessary. And they are sure to come. The spirit of co-operation already manifested not only by the citizens of Boston, but also by friends of the institu- tion throughout New England, and from beyond the boundaries of New England, is an assurance that the high- est dreams of the founders of the University are in time to be surpassed, and far surpassed, by the reality. But while no apprehensions can be felt about the remoter future, and while individuals are now giving with a gener- osity worthy of all praise, it should be remembered, that with institutions, as with men, youth is a period of oppor- tunities inestimably preciousg that many of these, if not improved at the time, are forever lost. The opportunities opening before this youthful University are unparalleledg but, without early additions to its pecuniary resources, some exceedingly important ones will have to pass unused. All devises and bequests should be made To the Trus- tees of Boston University, a corporation established by the General Court of Massachusetts. If designed for the endowment of a Department, or of a Professorship, Lec- 44 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR Boozr. tureship, Fellowship, Scholarship, Library, or Cabinet in a particular department, this design should be distinctly stated. If no such specific object be had in view, they should be given to the Trustees U to be applied at their discretion for the general purposes of the University. The following is an extract from the General Statutes of the University:- NEW FoUNnA'r1oNs. -UI. Any person giving or bequeathing to Boston University a sum not less than one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of establishing a new department, or for the general purposes of the institution, shall receive the title of Associate Founder of Boston University, and be published as such before the list of Trus- tees in the Year Book of the University. II. Any person who may give or bequeath to the University for any purpose, acceptable to this corporation, a sum not less than fifty thousand dollars, shall receive the title of Honorable Patron of Boston University, and be duly published as such in the Year Book of the University. H III. Any person or persons giving or bequeathing to the U11iver- sity a sum not less than forty thousand dollars, for the purpose of es- tablishing a Professorship in any department, shall have the privilege of giving name to such Professorship. In like manner a gift or bequest of not less than twenty-five thousand dollars for the purpose of founding an Adjunct Professorship shall entitle the giver to the same privilege. . H IV. Any person or persons who will give or bequeath to the Uni- versity a sum not less than ten thousand dollars, to found a University Fellowship or Lectureship in any department, shall have the privilege of naming such Fellowship or Lectureship, and of nominating its first incumbent. U V. University Scholarships in the different departments shall be of three different classes: first, second, third, according as the endow- ment is three thousand, two thousand, or one thousand dollars, and any person or persons founding a scholarship of any class or in any department shall have the privilege of naming the same, and of nomi- nating its first incumbent. New Professorships, Scholarships, and Fellowships are among the pressing needs of the University.

The aim of this College is to give that liberal education which is tl1e true preparation for the study of a learned profes- sion, or for a life devoted to letters, education, or public affairs. It accordingly provides thorough and systematic instruction in all those branches of literature, philosophy, and science, known as the liberal arts. 4 ADMISSION.

The themes for the current year will be taken from one of the following works: Sl1akspeare's Henry V., Merchant of Venice, and King Lear, Jol1nson's Six Chief Lives of the Poets, Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel and Marmion , Tennyson's Idyls of the King. For 1881: Sl1akspeare's Julius Caesar, Henry VIII., and Much Ado about Nothing, Prescott's Conquest of Mexico, or Ferdinand and Isabella, Longfe1low's Hiawatha, and Whit- tier's Snow Bound. For 1882 : Shakspeare's Othello and King John , Goldsmith's Vicar of Walreheld and Deserted Village, Carlyle's Essay on Scott, Scott's Bride ot' Lammermoor, George Eliot's Mill on the Floss. Students are expected to be familiar with each of the books announced. Students are advised to pass the Preliminary Examination one year before they desire to enter the College. Nevertheless, when this is not convenient, the candidate may pass the first in June, and the second in September, or, in cases of necessity, it will be allowed to attempt the two at one time. Some substitu- tions or interchanges will be allowed between subjects assigned to the one or the other examination, but each applicant for admission to the Preliminary Examination must present himself in all the subjects assigned to it, or in acceptable substitutes. Candidates for admission to the Preliminary Examination must produce certificates from their teachers attesting their fitness in given subjects , and no candidate will be examined in subjects not included in the certificate of the teacher. Both examinations are mainly in writing, and deficiencies in the legibility, spelling, or grammar of the student's papers, affect the result of the examination. Specimens of recent examination-papers will be sent on application. An ability to recite one oration of Cicero memoriter will be taken as an equivalent for three orations read. If the student prefer, a proportionate allowance for memorizing will be made in Vergil. . A written testimonial from the principal of any high school or academy of good standing, certifying that a candidate has THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS. 59 received regular instruction in Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geography, Modern History, Elements of Physics, Elements of Chemistry, Ancient History and Geography, and has passed such an examination in the same as would entitle the pupil to be graduated from said high school or academy, will be accepted in place of an examination in those subjects. Satisfactory testimonials of good moral character must be presented by each candidate along with his application for admission. Instructors preparing students in Latin and Greek are re- quested to follow the continental pronunciation of vowels, to give the Latin c and g the sound of Greek x and y, j the sound of y in yes, and to insist on the. observance of the Greek accents.

Applicants for advanced standing should present themselves at the beginning of the Preliminary Examination, and, if they come from other colleges, a certificate of honorable dismissal therefrom will be required. EXAMINATIONS ELSEWHERE. On the days above mentioned, examinations under the charge of duly appointed University Examiners may be held in other places than Boston. Any principal of a preparatory school desirous of securing this accommodation is requested to address the Dean of the College. 60 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IN 1881 AND FOL- LOWING YEARS. In 1881 the requirements at the Hrst examination will include one book of Herodotusg those of the second two thousand lines of Ovid, or books vii.-ix. of Vergi1's 1Eneid,' and the translation at sight of some Latin passage not included in the regular requirements.

The instruction in a number of the above branches is supple- mented by lectures, some of which are delivered before single classes, others before the entire College. . MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. The Sophomore Class receive their instruction in Physics, the Junior and Senior Classes their instruction in Biology, Chemis- try, Geology, and Zoology, in the laboratories and lecture-rooms of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In each case the instruction is expressly arranged for the class, given by the regular professors of the Institute, and illustrated by the very extensive collections and admirable apparatus of the institution. SPECIAL STUDENTS . A limited number of special students, in addition to those connected with other departments, may, until further notice, be admitted to instruction in the College of Liberal Arts. All such must be of mature age, and qualified to pursue the study or studies which they desire to undertake. The charge for tui- tion will be 830 for two hours' instruction per week, for the 66 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. year as a minimum, and 815 extra for each additional hour per week, until the charge amounts to the regular fee of 8100. LIBRARIES, READING-ROOMS, COLLECTIONS, ETC. Students in the College of Liberal Arts enjoy, without charge, the use of the Public Library of the ,city of Boston, a collection outnumbering every other in America. The extensive Reading- Room of the same institution is open to all. Other special Libraries and Reading-Rooms are accessible on the payment of small annual fees. - Among the museums and collections open to students, with- out charge, may be mentioned : - , Tas MUsaUM or me Bos'roN Socmrr or NATURAL Hrsroar. Tan Wu COLLECTION or EGYPTIAN ANTIQUITIES. THE Arrr CoI.I.scrIoNs or rua PUBLIC LIBRARY. Tm: Musr-:UM or FINE Ams. - The other advantages afforded by the city in the form of lec- tures, conventions ot' scientific men, art exhibitions, etc., are unsurpassed. V. COLLEGE EXERCISES. Regular morning devotions are conducted by members of the faculty, at which all students are required to be present. p All regular students are required to attend from ilfteen to sev- enteen recitations, or other class exercises, per week. Any student prevented from attending upon a class exercise must present to the appropriate professor a written excuse from the Dean. Two weeks before the close of each term, every student enti- tled to elect studies forthe term ensuing must present to the Dean a list of those which he desires to pursue. In all cases the selection must be subject to the approval of the faculty, and one that can be arranged for without conflict of hours. The exercises of the College are arranged at such hours that students living in any ot' the neighboring cities or towns on rail- road lines may conveniently attend. In most cases such stu- dents pay but half-fare. THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS. 67 SOCIETIES. Several flourishing literary and debating societies have been organized among the students. EXPENSES. The only fees required from regular students in the College of Liberal Arts arc : - S For Tuition .... . . 3100 00 Incidental Expenses ....... 10 00 These are payable in advance, -one half' at the beginning of the first term, and the remainder at the beginning of the second.

The Massachusetts Society for the University Education of Women has, during the past year, maintained a number of free 68 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK scholarships for the benefit of young women of slender means in the College. Students preparing for the Christian ministry can usually receive aid from Education Societies of their respective denomi- nations, amounting to one hundred dollars or more per annum. It is desired that University scholarships may soon be estab- lished. A few such are greatly needed. Any persons willing to consider this mode of assisting meritorious students are invited to communicate with the President of the University. CALENDAR.

Wakefield. the average pro- ficiency of graduates of the best American conservatories of music. It is the only institution of its grade and liind in America. The advantages accruing to it from its location in Boston and from its intimate association with the University are very great. Few persons devoting themselves to this profession are able to complete a liberal education before beginning their spe- cial musical training. Nor indeed ought they to do it. The best years for acquiring scholastic culture are also the best years for cultivating the voice, the ear, and the hand. A gen- erous intellectual and aesthetic culture is needed by every pro- fessional musiciang but it is best acquired, not before, or after, but in connection with, his special studies. The lack of oppor- tunities for such acquisition has been the chief defect of some of the most famous music schools of the world. Had every great national conservatory always presented the collateral advantages for general culture which are here presented, the character of the entire profession would have been favorably affected. - THE COLLEGE OF JIIUSIC. 71 The inducements which invite persons of musical talent to fit themselves for some branch of the musical profession, par- ticularly for teaching, were never so great in this country as now. The demand for teachers of character and scholastic tastes as well as musical skill is far in excess of the supply. Excellent situations await all who can add to natural gifts the needful fruits of trainingz The marked and steady growth of musical taste throughout the country, the consequent introduc- tion of musical instruction into public schools, the increasing demands of the multiplying churches, the introduction of new forms and occasions of popular musical entertainment, all give assurance that the call for teachers of the highest qualifications is one which is sure to be permanent, and probably also increas- ingly urgent. ADMISSION. All candidates for admission must possess a thorough knowl- edge of the elementary principles of music, a correct ear, and a reasonable degree of skill in their chosen department. Candidates for instruction in piano-forte playing must pass a satisfactory examination in harmony and execution. The knowledge of the former must be sufficient to enable the student to correctly harmonize a choral or common church tune in four parts. In execution the applicant will be tested as to correctness of manual position and movement, acquaintance with the different kinds of touch, rapidity and clcarness in the execution of all the major, minor, and chromatic scales, and of the arpeggios of the common chords and chords of the seventh, and finally as to his familiarity with the following compositions, or their equivalents: Heller's Studies, op. 45 and 463 Czerny's Velocity Studies, lst and 2d books: Krause's Studies, op. 55 Cramer's Studies, books 1 and 2g pieces by standard modern and classic composers, including selections from Mozart's and Haydn's Sonatasg Mendelssohn's Songs without Wordsg Chopin's Waltzes, etc. Applicants for instruction in organ-playing must be able to harmonize a choral in four parts, and to pass a satisfactory examination in the following, or real equivalents: Rink's Organ School, first five books, Buck's Studies in Pedal Phrasingq 72 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. Lemmen's Organ School, part second, The Organist, by Southard and Whiting Qused particularly for the study of instrumentationjg easy preludes and Egures with pedal obli- gato by Bach, Mendelssohn, and others g introduction to extem- pore playing, accompaniments for solo and chorus singing. For instructionin vocal music the candidate must possess the general qualifications required of all applicants, also an ability to sing readily at sight, and a good degree of skill in solo singing. The special qualifications required of those who wish to give attention to the violin, flute, or other orchestral instruments, are a familiarity with the technicalities of the instruments, and an ability to play the easier works of the masters. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. The regular courses of instruction are as follows : - I. Cormsa ron Vocnusrs. II. COURSE Fon Puinxsrs. III. Counsn Fon Onosnrsrs. IV. Couasns ron Oaoansrau. Psnronusas. All of these courses include the study of musical theory, also the history and aesthetics of music. The course for vocalists includes, besides these, instruction in Italian, German, and French. Special courses can be arranged to suit the needs or tastes of students desiring less extended instruction than that of any regular course. Regular students are required to attend all lectures and con- certs of the College, also to play or sing at such concerts whenever appointed. The methods of instruction employed are such as most rapidly advance the pupil, viz., lectures, small classes, and private tuition when deemed necessary. The standard works of the great masters, both ancient and modern, representing the various schools of musical art, and including concerted music of all kinds, are constantly placed before the pupils for studyg and the entire course of instruction THE COLLEGE OF AIUSIC. 73 is arranged with a view to secure the highest standard of taste, and an appreciation of the true relation of music to the other arts and sciences. SPECIAL FACILITIES. Students entering the College at the commencement of the year can be admitted to classes in the College of Liberal Arts without extra charge. ' Chamber concerts, including piano and vocal solos, trios, quartettes, etc., are given at frequent intervals by the College, in which tl1e pupils are required to take part, and, in addition to this, the opportunity is afforded them to attend the lectures and sight-singing classes of the New England Conservatory of Music, and to perform at its weekly concerts. The opportunities for culture outside ol' the institution in Boston are so well known, that it is hardly necessary to enu- merate them. During the concert season, miscellaneous con- certs by foreign and resident artists, chamber, symphony, and oratorio concerts, are of almost daily occurrence, and the Ger- man, Italian, and English opera troupes usually spend several weeks in the city, giving representations of standard works. To some of these the students are admitted without charge. The general literary and educational advantages of the city are of course unsurpassed. ' CHARGES. Piano-forte, organ, or voice, including composition and lec- tures, in class of four, 3150 per year, in class of three, 82005 in class of two, 3300. Any two of the above studies, including composition and lectures, in class of four, 3200 per year, in class of three, 82503 in class of two, 8300.

Violin and other instruments, if in class, same as aboveg if private lessons,are given, from 33 to S4 per lesson. An examination fee of S3 is charged on admission, and S55 for diploma at graduation. 74 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. GRADUATION. In most cases three years will be sufficient for the completion of the course of instruction. Pupils who pass a satisfactory examination will receive tl1e University diploma. Those who have specially distinguished themselves by their talents and scholarship will, if graduates of any college of arts, receive the degree of Bachelor of Musicg if not graduates of' a college ot' arts, they will be required to pass an examination in English composition, history, and literature, a modern language QFrench, German, or Italianj, Latin, or, instead of it, a second modern language, and mathematics, before being eligible to the above degree. CALENDAR. The College year is divided into two terms of twenty weeks each. The First Term will begin Thursday, Sept. 9, 1880, and close Saturday, Jan. 29, 1881. The Second Term will begin Monday, Jan. 31, 1881, and close Saturday, June 18, 1881. Applications for admission may be made for two weeks pre- ceding the commencement of each term. No pupil is received for a shorter period than the entire College year, or that portion of the current year which remains after entrance.

The Massachusetts Agricultural College is beautifully located at Amherst, in the fertile valley of the Connecticut. It is pro- vided with new and excellent buildings, and a farm of nearly four hundred acres. Its real estate is valued at more than two hundred thousand dollars. It also has a cash fund of two hun- dred and forty thousand dollars in the State treasury. In every respect the equipments of the institution are of the first order. ADMISSION. Candidates for admission to the Freshman Class are exam- ined orally and in writing in the following subjects: English Grammar, Geography, Arithmetic, Algebra Qthrough simple equationsj, and the History of the United States. Candidates for higher standing are examined as above, and also in the studies gone over by the class to which they may desire admission. No one can be admitted to the College until he is Bfteen years of age 5 and every student is required to furnish a certifi- cate of good character from his late pastor or teacher, and to give security for the prompt payment of term-bills. The regular examinations for admission are held at the Botanic Museum, at 9 o'clock A.M., on Tuesday, June 22, and on Thursday, Aug. 26g but candidates may be examined and admitted at any other time in the year. Each successful candidate who may desire it is allowed, on entering the College, to matriculate also in Boston University 5 and, on completing his course to the satisfaction of the authori- ties of both institutions, he may receive his diploma either at the hands of the College or of the University, or from both. To become elegible to all the privileges of membership in the University Convocation the student must matriculate at the beginning of the Freshman year. COURSE OF STUDY AND TRAINING. rmnsnmau YEAR.

THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. 81 Tl1e instruction in the languages is intended to qualify the graduates to write and- speak English with correctness and effect, and to translate the French with facility. The scientific instruction is as thorough and practical as possible, and every science is taught with constant reference to its appli- cation to agriculture and the wants of the farmer. The regular course includes every branch of ordinary farming and garden- ing, and is both theoretical and practical. Each topic is thor- oughly discussed in the lecture-room, and again in the plant- house or field, where every student is obliged to labor. The amount of required work, however, is limited to six hours per week, in order that it may not interfere with study. Students are allowed to do additional work, provided they maintain the necessary rank as scholars. All labor is paid at the rate of twelve and a half cents per hour. Those .who pursue a select course attend recitations and lectures with the regular classesg but those properly qualified, who desire special instruction in chemistry, civil engineering, veterinary science, agriculture, or horticulture, may make pri- vate arrangements with the oliicers having charge of these departments. The class in microscopy have the use of seven of Tolles's best compound microscopes, with objectives from four inches to one- eighth of an inch in focal distance, and a variety of eye-pieces., On Sundays, students are required to attend church in the forenoon, and invited to join a class in the afternoon for the study of the Bible. They will be permitted to select their place of attendance from among the churches in the town, which are of tl1e following denominations, namely, Baptist, Congrega- tional, Protestant Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, and Roman Catholic. GRADUATION. The regular course of study occupies four yearsg and those who satisfactorily complete it receive from the College the degree of Bachelor of Science, the diplomas being signed by the Governor of Massachusetts, who is president of the cor- poration. ' If matriculants in Boston University, they can also receive 82 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR 130015. tl1e same degree at the hands of the University, with a diploma entitling them to the relation and privileges of alumni of the University. . - EXPENSES. Tuition, S12 per term, Room-rent, S5 to 610 per term, Board, 82.50 to 33.50 per week, Expenses of Chemical Labo- ratory to Students of Practical Chemistry, S510 per term, pub- lic and private damages, including value of chemical apparatus destroyed or injured, at cost. Annual expenses, including books, S200 to 85350. The only other college expenses are small, and occur but once in the entire course, such as, for furnishing a room, from 310 to 350 5 matriculation in Boston University Qoptionalj, S5 , diploma of the College, 33, diploma of the University, 65. Indigent students are allowed to do such work as may offer about the public or farm buildings, or in the field, but it is hardly possible for one to earn more than from 350 to S100 per annum, besides performing other duties. So far as is consistent with circumstances, students will be permitted to select such varieties of labor as they may, for special reasons, desire to engage in. Several agricultural associations assist needy students in the College, while the Grinnell, the Farnsworth Rhetorical, the Hills Botanical, and the Totten Military Prizes afford the pro- ficient still other aid. The State Board ot' Agriculture have unanimously voted that every Agricultural Society receiving the bounty of the Common- wealth be urged to maintain at least one scholarship at the Col- lege, and to secure the attendance ot' one or more students. The Trustees also have voted to establish one free scholarship for each ot' the eleven congressional districts ot' the State, the appointments to which will be made by the representatives from the several districts. , CALENDAR.

All candidates for admission to the School of' Theology must produce satisfactory testimonials from their pastors, or others, touching their personal religious character. Those applying for free rooms and accommodation in the Boarding Club, under the provisions below stated, will present, instead of these, the license or special recommendation there required. Candidates for admission to the First Division of an entering class-must have received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. For admission to the Second Division, candidates who have not been admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy or Bachelor ot' Science, or to an equivalent degree upon a course oi' study including the Greek language, must pass a written examina- tion in the studies customarily required for entrance upon the classical course in American colleges, and must show, that, by 90 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. reason of age or other circumstances, they cannot wisely at- tempt to qualify themselves for admission to the First Division. Applicants for admission to advanced standing must sustain a satisfactory examination in all the studies which the class have passed over, or present a certificate of honorable dismis- sal from some other theological institution whose course is equivalent to that of this School. Students will save no time by taking ,Hebrew in college, as they then will be required to enter the Junior Class, and to elect in other departments of the University a satisfactory substitute for the Hebrew of the first year. All persons desiring to enter the School should present them- selves at 20 Beacon Street, Sept. 15, at 2 o'clock r.M. Those entitled to apply for rooms will secure some advantages by notifying the Dean, and making application as early as prac- ticable. No room will be reserved after the first day, except by special agreement. All students whose circumstances will allow them to obtain a complete classical education before applying for admission are earnestly recommended to do so. The highest interests of the student, of the School, and of the churches, demand it. Young men or women who maybe providentially debarred the privilege of pursuing the regular course in either division are allowed to take a special one of one or more years, accord- ing to their circumstances. In like manner, preachers engaged in the active work of the ministry, superintendents or teachers of Sunday schools, in fine, any persons deemed suitable by the Faculty, are allowed to attend upon any or all of the exercises of the School by causing their names to be recorded in the Register, and prepaying an annual fee of 810. INSTRUCTION. With respect to methods of instruction, it is the aim of the Faculty to secure the greatest possible freshness and variety consistent with scientific system and thoroughness. Accord- ingly, while a faithful use of the best books of reference in every branch is insisted on, the instruction is almost entirely oral. It is intended that tl1e student shall do something more than merely memorize text-books. Whenever a branch of THE sczzoor oz-' THEOLOGY. 914 science, or a portion of a branch, can be best taught by a fresh original handling in the way of written lectures, or by free exposition, or by blackboard exercise, or by a Socratic method, Or by a combination of any or all of these, the professors will not shrink from the additional labor which such methods necessarily involve. In several branches, privately printed lectures are issued to the classes. REGULAR TRIENNIAL COURSE. IN THE 'ORDER OF YEARS. FIRST YEAR.

Qd, The State Library, situated but three minutes' walk from the School, and open every day. It contains over 30,000 volumes, and is increased some 2,000 volumes per annum. 3d, The Pab- lic Library of the Oily of Boston. This magnificent collection contains over 370,000 volumes, of which a generous proportion relate to theology. There are annually added to it some 10,000 bound volumes and 7,000 to 10,000 pamphlets. The General Theological Library. - For an annual fee of one dollar this large and valuable collection is open to all theo- logical students. Connected with it is a line theological and religious Reading-Room. All denominations are represented both in the Library and in the Reading-Room periodicals. Other Reading Rooms. - Members of the School enjoy, fur- ther, the free use of the following reading-rooms: lst, That of the School, well supplied with the issues of the American religious press. 2d, The Reading-Room of the Public Library.

Opportunities for more directly ministerial labor in supplying vacant pulpits, and the calls of the city missions, are constantly occurring. Gymnastics.-Students who feel the need ot' regular gym- nastic exercise can enjoy the facilities of the best gymnasiums and drill-masters of the city, at rates especially favorable. Free lectures on health, exercise, diet, etc., have often been given in the School. Public Lectures. -To enumerate all the varied means of improvement afforded to students by their situation in the heart of Boston would require much space. Suflice it to mention the gratuitous courses of the Lowell Institute, and the score or more of distinguished American scholars, statesmen, and orators who regularly speak in a Boston lecture season. Distinguished for- eigners, such- as Tyndall, Proctor, Froude, MacDonald, ,Dean Stanley, etc., not infrequently appear. The lectures of Rev. Joseph Cook in the tt Monday Lecturesl1ip have been remarka- bly stimulating and valuable to students. Conversazioni. - The most prominent and successful clergy- men and orators ot' Boston and vicinity have repeatedly favored the students with familiar addresses and conversations on their personal experience, habits, etc., as public religious teachers. Drs. Newman Hall and Joseph Parker ot' London, and others from abroad, have also thus addressed them. Missionary Meetings, Christian Conventions, Benevolent SO- ciety Anniversaries, etc., are held every year in this city, draw- ing together returned missionaries, distinguished pulpit orators, 96 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. and live Christian laborers from every quarter of the globe. These are advantages whose value to young ministers cannot be overestimated. ' , Religious Privileges.-Regular morning and evening devo- tions are held throughout the scholastic year. All school exer- cises are opened with an invocation of the divine blessing. There are also stated prayer-meetings every week, and a class- meeting led by the professors in rotation. The Missionary Association holds meetings from time to time to hear reports and original letters from former students and others in the various mission-fields, to pray for the increased success of' missionary labor, to discuss questions connected with the mission work, and, in general, to cultivate an intelligent personal interest in the great enterprise of evangelizing the world. During the past year it has been repeatedly addressed by returned missionaries and others who have personally in- spected foreign missions. All of the principal churches of Boston are within convenient walking distance of the School, and each student is expected to connect himself with one of' them. ,In the Sunday schools, missions, and social meetings of these churches, abundant opportunities for Christian labor are found 5 while, on the other hand, the stated preaching and spiritual counsels of an experi- enced pastor can but prove fruitful of' blessing to young men looking forward to the high responsibilities of the ministry. EXPENSES. The annual charges for students in the School of Theology are, for tuition Qwhen not remitted, or provided for as belowj, 850, one-half in advance, for heating, lighting, and care of public rooms, 310.

Applicants for graduation must deposit with the Registrar an examination fee of' S5 on or before the middle of Aprilg but, in case any suchapplieant fails to pass the final examination, his fee will be allowed to stand over for the follow- ing year. THE SCHOOL 012' THEOLOGY. .97 PECUNIARY AID. The oflicers of the School are authorized to remit the tuition fee to all whose circumstances require it. Students who need assistance can usually receive loans to the amount of 8100 a year from different education societies. Two scholarships have been established in connection with this School, one of which will be available the coming year. They are The Warren Scholarshzlp, established in honor of Mrs. Anne M. Warren ot' Williamsburgg and The Cheever Scholar- shqz, established in honor of Mrs. Rachel P. Cheever of Cam- bridge. There is a small Loan Fund by which a few can be aided annually in times of need. FREE ROOMS, THE BOARDING CLUB, ETC., By virtue of the arrangement in accordance with which the Trustees of the Boston Theological Seminary transferred their funds and trusts to the University, all candidates for the min- istry ot' the Methodist Episcopal Church are entitled to free tuition, and to the same or equivalent privileges with respect to rooms as were afforded by the Seminary. All applicants for these free advantages are required to produce either a local preaeher's license, or a recommendation from some Quarterly Conference after the following form : H We, the members of the Quarterly Conference ot' T- Station tor Circuitj, do hereby certif'y that T- is in ourjudgment called of' God to the work ot' the ministry, and we cordially recommend him as a suitable person to be received as a student in the School of Theology of Boston University. ' The rooms provided for these students are furnished with every thing essential to comfort, with the exception of bed-linen and towels. Students ,desiring carpets furnish them them- selves. Married students are accommodated with rooms for themselves, but not for their families. All students entitled as above to free tuition and .rooms are also admitted to the privileges of the Boarding Club. Favored with rent-free premises and with direct access to the great mar- 98 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. kets of Boston, this club has been able to provide varied and excellent board for about 32.50 a week. This reduces the expense of board for the entire scholastic year to less than 8100. For the present, the University is able to follow the example of the Seminary, and extend these free advantages to the can- didates of all Methodist churches, without distinction. As fast as the necessary funds are furnished, the same or equivalent facilities will be offered to all. GRADUATION. All students who complete the regular Course, and pass a satisfactory examination, will be honorably graduated. Those who have taken their first degree in arts will be eligible to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. ' CALENDAR. 1879-80. 'rnuvrr-'rumn nun. Osnmunsn. 1880-81. TIIIRTY-FOURTH YEAR.

All persons purposing to study law with a view of making it a profession are earnestly recommended to complete a course of liberal studies in some College before entering this School. Applicants who have taken their first degree in Arts, Science, or Philosophy, are admitted without preliminary examination: all others must satisfy the Dean that they possess the educa- tional and other qualifications which will enable them to pursue with proiit the studies of the School. Any person of good moral character not intending to apply for a degree may be admitted at any time without examination, and avail himself of such advantages of the School as he may deem expedient. Students from other Law Schools are admitted acl eundem, on producing satisfactory testimonials as to the work done, and character sustained, in such Schools. If they have pursued the study ofthe law for one year in any other approved Law School, and two years in all, they may graduate after one more year's study here, if all other conditions are complied with. Satisfactory testimonials 'or references are required of allg 104 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. and those desiring to enter for advanced standing must pro- duce satisfactory ccrtificates of their previous study. Before admission, each candidate must sign a printed applica- tion furnished for the purpose, and correctly answer the questions contained therein. Every student must adjust all dues at the Registrar's office, be regularly enrolled, and receive a Registration Ticket, before admission to the instruction ot' the School. No student can be promoted to second or third year's stand- ing until he shall have passed a satisfactory examination in all the required topics of the preceding year. INSTRUCTION. R- UNDERGRADUATE COURSE. Most of the instructors in this School are regularly engaged in the practical administration of the law, either upon the bench or at the bar.- The method of instruction aims to combine the advantages of all approved systems and appliances. It includes the regu- lar oral text-book exposition and recitation, free and written lectures, reviews, examinations, exercises in drafting contracts, conveyances, pleadings, indictments, and other legal papers, the criticism of briefs and arguments in moot courts, courses of reading, etc. I Each week a moot question is given out, on which some member of the school is appointed to read a paper, not over ten minutes in length, before the full, school, and to discuss the principles involved and the authorities bearing on the same. A daily recitation and examination is held in the leading branches of the course, a record of which is kept for reference in awarding the degrees. The Junior and Middle Classes must attend the Lectures on all Required Topics for those years respectively, keep note- books of the Lectures, and attend a daily recitation with the use of text-books. Any student is liable to be called upon at any lecture to read before the School his notes ot' thc previous lecture, subject to the criticism of his fellow-students. At the close of each study ot' the Junior Year, an examination is held, of which a record is kept, and the same must be satisfactory to ' sc11o0L OF LA W. 105 entitle the student to be advanced to the next year's course. Each class may attend any of the lectures of a preceding year, but are not entitled to attend those of a subsequent year. Lectures and practical instruction will be given each year in Elocution and Forensic Oratory. Subject to only slight variations from year to year, the dis- tribution of topics will be as follows : - ' FIRST YEAR. Agency fliequiredj.-Bills and Notes fliequiredj. -Con- tracts Qltequiredj . - Criminal Law tRequiredj . - Elocution and Forensic Oratory CElectivej. -Partnership QElectivej.-- Sales tRequireclJ.-Torts Cltequireclj.

Thorough and regular instruction will be given every year in all of the required subjects and in a majority of the electives. Students who cannot attend more than two years will find it for their advantage to enter at the beginning of' the course, to attend the first and second years, returning at the close of' the third year in time to pass the final examinations. On this plan the expense will be no greater than on any other, while the work will be much more easily and thoroughly accomplished. The final examinations will cover all the required, and two- thirds of all the 'elective topics treated during the entire course. .106 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. THE COMING YEAR. D'uring the coming year lectures and instruction may be ex- pected upon the following electives:- Bailments ...... Mr. Pianos, Elocution and Forensic Oratory . . Mr. FLETCHER. Pa1'Ziamentairy Law .... Mr. RUSSELL. Partnershqo . . . Professor BENNETT. Patent Law . Mr. SMITH. Roman Law . . Professor ITIMPTON. Wills ....... Professor BENNETT. The courses of instruction in Political Economy and in the C'onstz'tution of the United States, in the College of Liberal Arts, will also be open to students in the Law School without charge. ' TEXT-BOOKS. A few copies of the leading text-books are kept in the library for general use, but students are recommended to purchase their own books for daily nsc. They will find them of great assistance hereafter in their practice, and free marginal anno- tations will much increase their value.

The following text-books are used for the Junior Class: viz., Metcalf on Contracts, Bigelow on Tortsg Story on Agency, Story on Partnership, Benjamin on Salesg Washburn on Criminal Law, Byles on Bills. The members of this class are also advised to read collaterally: 1 Blackstone's Commentaries, ch. i.g 1 Kent's Commentaries, part iii.g Walker's Introduction, lect. 15 Warren's Law Studies fAm. ed.jg Bishop's First Book of the Law, May's Constitutional History of England, Maine's Ancient Lawg Spence's Enquiry into the Common Law, Reeves' History of the Common Law.

COURTS, ETC. The Law Department is located in the Wesleyan Building, No. 36 Bromfleld Street, midway between Washington and Tremont Streets, and near the State I-Iouse, City Hall, Court House, and Post Office. Attendants upon the School enjoy unusual facilities for ob- serving the organization and working of Courts, the actual progress of notable cases, the arguments of eminent counsel, the rulings of judges, the processes of decision, exception, appeal, etc. No less than six courts are holding their sessions almost continuously, within less than five minutes' walk from the School. The following calendar indicates their respective names, locations, etc. : - 1. The Ihiitecl States Circuit Court. United States Court House, 140 Tremont Street.

At the State House, the State Legislature- or 'G Great and General Court -is usually in session from the first week in January till near the close of the academic year. Here are afforded opportunities for observing the whole process by which are propounded, considered, amended, and enacted the statutes which the tribunals of law are to interpret and apply. LIBRARIES AND READING-ROOMS. The following collections are accessible to all members of the School: Q15 The Law Library of the University. This is situated in the same building with the School, and consists of several thousand volumes, including the most important Law Reports and Text-books. By yearly additions the effort will be to make and keep it a model working library for stu- dents. Reports amounting to over 85,000 in value have been added the present year. It is open forthe pu1'pose of study, to all students who desire, from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. Q25 The State Library. This valuable collection, amounting to over 30,000 volumes, is substantially a general Law Library, but is espe- cially rich in codes, statutes, state papers, and all that- pertains to legislation, American and foreign. Taken in connection with the long accumulating archives of the State, it affords a rare mine to all engaged in special historical or local studies of Amer- ican law. Q31 The Public Library of the City of Boston. This is the largest library in America. The collection numbers over 370,000 volumes and 100,000 pamphlets. It is particularly rich in state papers, its collection of United States documents being more complete than any in possession of the government itself. Any book not in possession of the Library will, on application of a reader, be purchased, provided it is obtainable, and no valid reason against its purchase appears. By special permission of the Trustees, students in the Law School of SCHOOL OF LA W. A 109: Boston University are entitled to use and draw books, although residing out of the city. In order to enjoy this privilege, they must obtain a card at the Library, and procure the same to be countersigned by the Dean of the Law School. The Reading-Room of the Public Library is open without charge. All tl1e leading professional, scientific, and literary periodicals of' America and Europe, are here taken. The selec- tion numbers between four and five hundred. Students who are members of the bar can enjoy the use of the Social Law Library, in the Court I-Iouse at Court Square, containing over 15,000 volumes, for ten dollars a yearg and any member of the School studying in the office of any member of the association, without charge. Other general and special collections are accessible upon the payment of a small annual fee. MOOT COURT, CLUBS, ETC. For the purpose of familiarizing the students with the p1'ae- tice of the law, a regular court has been established, called the H Court ot' the University, in which suits are commenced in law and equity, and conducted through all their stages to a final hearing and decision on questions of law, carried up by exceptions, appeal, report, writ of e1'ror, etc. It has a clerk, seal, docket, crier, sheriff, etc. The Moot Court, held every week, is presided over by mem- bers of' the Faculty, several of whom are judges of' experience. Two members of' the school sit as associate justices, who write written opinions, which are bound with the case and briefs, and preserved in the Law Library. A large number of' the students belong to Law Clubs, which meet every week for the arguing and decision of moot eases. GRADUATION. Candidates for Graduation must make written application to the Dean of the Faculty on or before the first day of' February, on blanks furnished by the Dean for that purpose, and adjust all dues at the Registrar's office.

Li order to graduate, each student must have attained twenty-one years of age, and pursued the study of the law, under competent instruction, three full years, two of which at least 'must have been in this or some other approved Law Schoolg but those who have pursued the study of the law else- where for three years, or been admitted to the bar one year prior to their admission to this School, may be graduated after one year's study here, ii' all other conditions are complied with. If only two years have been in this School, a written certificate of a year's study elsewhere will be required. In order to grad- uate, the applicant must pass satisfactory examinations in all the required topics of the entire course, and in two-thirds of the electives in which examinations are held. Each examina- tion-papcr contains ten questions.

For several years prior to the establishment of this School there had been a profound dissatisfaction with the state of med- ical education in this country. This dissatisfaction was shared by every branch of the profession, whatever its principles or practice. The' laxity of the existing schools with respect to the qualifications of students for admission, the period of their attendance, the conditions of promotion, and of admission to the degree of Doctor of Medicine, was almost universally felt to be disgraceful. During the decade immediately preceding 1873, several praiseworthy efforts were made in some of the stronger institutions to correct one or another of these per- ceived defectsg but in no case was it attempted to correct them all. The Boston University School of Medicine was the first to present in combination the following essential elements of a thorough reform in this department of education :- Flrst, The requirement that the candidate for admission must either present the diploma of a Bachelor of Arts, or pass a prescribed entrance examination. Second, The provision of a carefully graded course of in- stuction covering at least three scholastic years. Third, The requirement that every student pass a success- ful examination upon the work of each year before promotion to the next. Fourth, The requirement, as 9. condition of graduation, not merely that the candidate shall have studied medicine three full years, but that he shall have attended a reputable medical school for three years. ' ' ' ' 118 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. Fmh, A provision for Visiting and Examining Boards inde- pendent of the teaching Faculty. Sixth, The abolition of all sex-disabilities either in teaching or learning. The unexampled success which attended the new institution was sutlicient evidence that the public sentiment of the country fully sustained the attempted reform. Encouraged by this sup- port, the authorities of the School announced in the spring of 1878 other advance measures 3 -- I 1. The extension of the obligatory lecture term from five months to the full University year. 2. The provision of two optional Four- Years' Courses for those who wish to pursue their professional studies with excep- tional thoroughness and with suitable leisure for collateral reading. 3. The restoration of the long-lost degrees of Bachelor of Medficirze and Bachelor of Surgery, to be attained at the end of the third year by those who take the Four- Years' Course. ADMISSION. Candidates who have taken their first degree in Arts, Philoso- phy, or Science, are admitted without examination. All others, before matriculation, are examined in the following branches : - 1. In Orthography, English Composition, and Penrnanship, by means of a page written at the time and place of examina- tion. 2. In Arithmetic, Geography, and English Grammar, if there be doubt whether the candidate has sufficient attainment therein. 3. In Elementary Physics, by an examination in Stewart's Primer of Physics. 4. In Latin, by requiring a translation from Harkness's Latin Reader at sight. Students passing a satisfactory examination in other respects will be allowed one year to complete their requirements in Latin and Physics, but will not be allowed to enter upon the studies of the second year till such conditions are removed. An acquaintance with Greek, German, and French, is also of great importance in the study of medicine, and the matricu- THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. 119 lant receives credit in the record of his examination for any attainments in these languages. Candidates must be at least eighteen years old, or, if they intend to pursue a four-years' course, within six months of eighteen. Two satisfactory testimonials of good moral character will be required of all. Examinations for matriculation will be held at the College building, East Concord Street, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Oct. 4, 5, and 6, 1880, at eleven A.M. INSTRUCTION. The length of the courses adopted renders it practicable to present a most thorough and comprehensive curriculum of study, one suflicient to impart to the student a complete scientific as well as practical medical education. The graded course, by which the various branches are taught in proper succession, having, after a seven-years' trial, proved to be the best method for thorough medical instruction, the Faculty have adopted it exclusively. To each term and each year certain studies are assigned, in which the student is required to become proficient before entering upon more advanced studies. - POST-GRADUATE COURSE. Physicians who have received the medical degree will be admitted to the School, and allowed to attend such lectures as they choose, and will be entitled to receive a certificate of such attendance. In order to obtain the diploma of the School, they must, by examination, satisfy the Faculty that they have ful- iilled all the requirements of the School for graduation. THE FOUR-YEARS' COURSES.

SPECIAL COURSES . Suitable persons may be admitted to such course or courses of instruction in the School as they may select, and their at- tendance upon such instruction may be certified to upon their tickets. Such special courses will not count as any part of the three or tour years' courses. CLINICAL INSTRUCTION. Clinics, Medical, Surgical, Gynzecological, and Ophthalmical, will be held as frequently as practicable in the College building, under the charge of the professors, and in these, as in other departments, special efforts will be made to familiarize the stu- dents with the best methods of examining patients, and to instruct them in all the details of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Physicians are urgently requested to send to the College clinics, during the lecture session, such cases ot' general or special disease as possess unusual interest, or require particular skill and experience in their treatment. All operations and examinations before the class will be gratuitous. THE MASSACHUSETTS HOMCEOPATHIC HOSPITAL. This new and commodious structure is in close proximity to the school, and in the arrangement of its wards, its ventilation, light, and heat, is unsurpassed by any hospital in the country. It contains forty beds, devoted principally to acute diseases. 122 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. The students will have as free access to its wards as possible in order that they may become familiar with disease in its vari- ous formsg and clinical lectures and instruction will be given upon a great variety of' diseases. During the past year a large number of rare and instructive surgical operations have been witnessed by the class, in which the senior members have been allowed to assist, and the enlarged hospital facilities have greatly increased the means of practical instruction. THE CITY HOSPITAL. By vote of the trustees, the male students are allowed to be present at the surgical operations. As it is but a short dis- tance from the school, the lecture hours of the senior and mid- dle classes are so arranged, that, without loss of time, these students can be present at all important operations. The great extent of the hospital and the large number of surgical cases afford an opportunity of witnessing nearly every variety of surgical operation. THE HOMCEOPATHIC MEDICAL DISPENSARY. This institution has three different locations in the city. These are accessible to the students, and from the large num- ber of patients who resort to this charity daily there is an excellent opportunity for the practical study of acute and chronic diseases. During the past year over thirteen thousand cases have been treated, and nearly thirty-five thousand pre- scriptions and visits made. Students in the senior year are allowed to visit patients at their homes, and prescribe under the direction and with the aid of the professors. In addition to the above there are many public and private hospitals in which students can obtain permission to visit, and familiarize themselves with the various methods of treatment.

Arrangements have been made with Otis Clapp 6: Son and A. A. Reeve to furnish to students all the text-books used in the School at the lowest net cash prices. THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. 127 EXAMINATIONS. The first part of the lecture is often devoted to a brief oral examination or resume of the principal subjects treated in the preceding lecture. Quiz classes have been organized among the students for mutual improvement, and they have proved serviceable in more thoroughly impressing the instruction upon the student's mind. Evenings are sometimes spent by the pro- fessors with their classes to examine them, and to explain difil- cult or doubtful points. Written examinations are frequently held during the school terms, and are a most efficient means of education. They not only tix in the mind of the student the instruction received, but enable him to condense and correctly state what he has learned. He thus acquires a facility in expressing medical facts and opin- ions which will be of great service to him throughout his pro- fessional life. At the end of each school year an examination is held on all the studies of the year. The student is required to complete the studies of one year before entering upon those of the next. Should he, however, fail in one. or, at most, two studies, having passed the others creditably, he will be allowed four months in which to complete his examination. The final examinations of the senior year are held at stated times during the two weeks preceding Commencement. After each successful examina- tion, the student receives a card stating the percentage he has therein attained. Fifty per cent will be required from each chair in order to pass q but an average of seventy per cent will be required from all the chairs in order to enable a student to graduate. PRIZES. A friend of medical education has offered to the students of this School the following prizes:- 1. A prize of thirty dollars, to any member of the Senior Class, for the best essay on The Germ Theory of Disease. 2. A prize of twenty dollars to the member of tl1e Junior Class who shall make the two best anatomical dissections. 3. Two prizes, of twentyjive dollars each, for the best Phy- siological Proving of Some Drug, to be competed for respec- 128 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK.. tively by male and female members of either the Middle or Senior Classes. The drug must be unknown to the prover, and will be selected by the Professor of Materia Medica. under whose direction the proving must be made. The proving must exhibit the objective and subjective symptoms produced by the drug, and especially those of the larynx and chest, as revealed by the most approved means of physical diagnosisg the condi- tion of the secretions, as shown by chemical or microscopical testsg and, in the provings by women, the functional disturb- ances or pathological changes peculiar to tl1e sex must be carefully noted. LIBRARIES, READING-ROOMS, ETC. The following are open to the student without charge : - 1. The Library of the School contains about two thousand volumes, comprising some ol' the most recent and valuable works in medicine and the collateral sciences, including text- books and works of reference, of which a printed catalogue has been prepared. The Library is in the College building. It is opened regularly every Saturday, and occasionally at other times. ' 2. The Public Library of the City of Boston. No collection in America equals this, either in extent or value: but one, thc Congressional, is comparable with it. Even as to strictly medi- cal works it is said to be outranked by but two in the country, --one, that of the surgeon-general in Wasliingtong and the other, a special collection in Pennsylvania. Non-resident stu- dents will, on application to the Public Library, be furnished with a ticket, to be countersigned by the Dean, admitting them to its privileges. 3. The Reading-Room of the Public Library. More than four hundred periodicals, including leading medical journals QAmerican and Europeanj, are here taken. 4. A legacy left by the late Dr. Harriet K. Hunt provides by its income text-books for indigent female medical students. The trustees of this fund have placed this income under the charge ot' the faculty of this Schoolg and books are loaned to these students during the term time. - 5.. The varied and valuable facilities for general culture which THE s0HooL OF MEDICINE. 129 Boston affords in its other libraries, its collections of natural history,-its courses of scientific and literary lectures, its clas- sical and popular concerts, and its art exhibitions, make an aggregate of general educational agencies whose value to the earnest and ambitious student can hardly be over-estimated. MUSEUM. Many beautiful preparations in wax, illustrative of anatomi- cal structures and pathological conditions, have been made expressly for this School. The collection of anatomical, patho- logical, and physiological specimens, is already quite large, and steadily increasingg while the histological and microseopical cabinet contains many rare and beautiful specimens. The friends of the School will subserve its interests by procuring and forwarding to the Museum any suitable specimens. GRADUATION. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must be twenty-one years old and of good moral character. Such as have not pursued one of the prescribed courses of this School, and passed its regular examinations, must present evidence of having studied medicine duripg three years witl1 competent instructiong of having attended at least three full and reputable courses of lectures, the last in this Schoolg and must pass an examination satisfactory to the faculty. They must apply to the Dean of the faculty four weeks before the time of graduation, and then present an original autograph thesis of at least twenty written pages upon some theme con- nected with the studies of the School. They must also be pre- pared publicly to defend, before the faculty, the opinions or facts advanced in their theses. TUITION FEES.

GENERAL EXPENSES. Students can live as economically in Boston as in any city of its size, and personal expenses will be determined in a great measure by the tastes and inclinations of the individual. The cost of board and rooms need not exceed from four. to six dollars per week. By the formation oflclubs, the expense of board has been reduced to less than three dollars per week in some departments of the University. The lectures and other exercises of the School will be ar- ranged at convenient hours for students living in any of the neighboring cities or towns on the lilies of the various rail- roads. ' Season-tickets on several railroads can be obtained by stu- dents at reduced rates, the reduction being usually one-half: Inquiry regarding students' tickets should be made at the rail- road ollices, and not at thc oflice of the School. A scnonaasmrs. A limited number of free scholarships, resulting from the income of the lVade Fund, bequeathed for the benefit of indi- gent and worthy young women, are at the disposal of the ofiicers of the School, and will be available to such as require assistance. ' A ' Although no scholarships for young men have as yet been founded, there are several 'positions in which the successful and worthy applicant may receive valuable assistance in the prose- cution of his studies. Among these are the following : - House Physician and House Surgeon to the Jllassachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital. Before the close of the first lecture term a' competitive examination will be held for these positions. The successful candidates will receive board and lodging, and unusual clinical advantages in the Hospital, for one year from March I.

The Assistants to the Librarian, Janitor, and Professors receive aid in proportion to the work clone. COLLEGE BUILDING. In pursuance ot' an enabling Act of the Massachusetts Legis- lature, the New England Female Medical College has been united with the Boston University School ot' Medicine. The new building oi' the Female Medical College, eligibly situated on East Concord Street, opposite the City Hospital, has been greatly enlarged, and now contains three ample lecture-rooms, including an amphitheatre capable ot' seating three hundred students, laboratories, a spacious and airy dissecting-room, a museum, a library, and cloak and dressing rooms for ladies and gentlemen. CALENDAR. The School year comprises two lecture terms, as follows : -- First Term. -Oct. 6, 1880, to March 1, 1881. Second Term.-March 14, 1881, to June 1, 1881. ' The Graduation Exercises of the Medical Department will hereafter be included in and form a part of the University Com- mencement, which occurs the first Wednesday in June. VACATIONS. A short vacation precedes, and one of Your months follows, the second or summer lecture term. Short recesses are also arranged for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

This School is designed, iirst for the benefit of Bachelors of Arts, Philosophy, or Science, of whatsoever college, who with little or no direct reference to fitting themselves for a profes- sional life, may desire to receive postsgraduate instruction in 138 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. this University: and, secondly, to meet the wants of graduates in Theology, Law, Medicine, or 'other professional course, who may wish to broaden and supplement their professional culture hy courses of study in related sciences, arts, and professions. It is the departmentwhich crowns and unifles the entire Univer- sity. INSTRUCTION. Being a department for elective post-graduate study only, the School will present no strictly prescribed courses. All can- didates for degrees, however, will be advised with respect to their studies, and will receive a degree only after pursuing a course approved by the President and Dean of the faculty, and passing a satisfactory examination upon it. When fully organized, the instruction presented will include all branches of knowledge adapted to the ends of a universal post-graduate school. To qualified specialists it will aim to provide thorough in- struction in- All Cultivated Languages and their Literatures. All Natural and Matltematical Sciences. All Theological, Legal, and Medical Studies. All Fine Arts, properly so called. All branches of Special Historical Study, etc. For qualified students of' generalizing aims, instruction will he provided in the Universal Sciences. Under this term are included all those disciplines in which the matter common to several special sciences is treated as a largerlwhole. When this is done genetically, there results'a universal or compara- tive history of the matter treated 5 when statically, a universal or comparative science of itg when philosophically, a universal or comparative philosophy of it. Here, therefore, belong such sciences as these : -- Universal or Comparative History of Languages. Universal or Comparative Philology. THE SCHOOL OF ALL SCIENCES. 139 Universal or Comparative Philosophy of Language, or Philos- ophy of Language universally considered. Universal or Comparative History of Religions. Uhziversal or Comparative Theology. Universal or Comparative Philosophy of Religion, or Philos- ophy of Religion universally considered. Universal or Comparative History of Laws. Universal or Comparative Jurisprudence. Universal or Comparative Philosophy of Law, or Philoso- phy of Law universally considered. Universal or Comparative History of Societies. , Universal or Comparative Sociology. Universal or Comparative Philosophy of Society, or Philoso- phy of Society universally considered. These sciences are all ot' most recent birth, several of them. indeed, scarce christencdg but all of them are legitimate chil- dren of' the new science and new scientific methods of the nine- teenth century. Others are sure to followg and in this new, hitherto almost unorganized department of university work, a place and a welcome is prepared for each. TI-IE COMING YEAR. The coming year, in addition to the instruction belonging to the regular curriculums of the clifierent departments, there will be provided, - - I. Pmr.oLoGIoAL Counslas. 1.

Members of the School of all Sciences of Boston University who are Bachelors of Arts can pursue approved courses of study in the National University at Athens, without expense for tuition. On returning, and passing a satisfactory exami. nation, such students will 1'eceive their appropriate' degree pre. cisely as if they had remained in residence. The National University of Greece, organized by the renas- eent kingdom in 1836, has steadily advanced in strength and 144 t BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. resources, until it has come to be recognized as one of the great universities of the world. Twenty years ago Professor Felton wrote of it, Among its professors are men who would do honor to any European university. Since that time, its corps of instructors has nearly doubled, and the number of students risen from six hundred to between one and two thousand. The programme of lectures for the current term presents over one hundred separate courses. For the purpose of indicating some of the advantages afforded to students of Philology, History, and Art, a selection from the lecture-topics of the Philosophi- cal Faculty was given in the second volume of the YEAR Boon. THE ROYAL UNIVERSITY AT ROME. Members of the School of All Sciences who are Bachelors of Arts can also pursue approved courses of study in the Royal University at Rome, and on returning, and passing a satisfac- tory examination, receive the appropriate degree. ' Founded in 1244, fostered through centuries by spiritual and temporal potentates, beautified by the skill of Michael Angelo, supplemented by the uneqnalled attraction of the Eternal City, the University of Rome has been for many generations one of the most renowned in the world. Soon after the occupation of the city as capital of the new kingdom of Italy, the University was entirely re-organized upon a plan worthy of its new metropolitan importance. In Novem- ber, 1870, it was re-opened with memorable solemnities. Since that time, its new fame has been steadily increasing. As in the other national universities, the Faculty of Theology has been abolished. The Faculty of Law numbers about twenty professors. Their lecture courses cover: Introduction to the Study of tl1e Juridical Sciencesg History of Jurisprudence, Roman Law 3 the Civil Codeg Institutes of Canon Law, Crim- inal Law, Procedure in Criminal Lawg Civil Procedureg Administrative Law, Mercantile Lawg Political Economyg Science of Finance, Constitutional Law: International Lawg Admiralty g Philosophy of Law 5 Medical Jurisprudence, etc. The Faculty of Medicine and 'Surgery has over thirty pro- fessors and assistants. Every branch of Medicine, Surgery, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Science, is included in the instruc- THE SCHOOL OF ALL SCIENCES. 145 tion. Connected with a large number of the most magnificent and extensive hospitals in the world, the clinics of the medical department are of remarkable variety and value. The Faculty of Physical and Mathematical Sciences is of the same size as that of Medicine: the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters only a little smaller. In this last department alone there are some fifty courses of instruction from term to term. The great libraries of the city, its various learned societies of cosmopolitan fame, its museums and palaces and galleries of art, its historic basilicas and churches and catacombs, its monuments of ante-Christian antiquity, walls, pillars, arches of triumph, fora, aqueducts, temples, tombs, - all these and many more are among tl1e daily instructors of the student in Rome.

To enable this School to render the high service to American scholarship which it is adapted to render, provision should bg made for the partial support of all who give promise of emi. 148 BOSTON UNIVERSITY YEAR BOOK. nence in the studies required for a second degree, but who cannot command the resources necessary to further residence. Such provision can best be made by the endowment of scholar- ships and fellowships under the administration of the Trustees of the University. This work is warmly commended to persons of wealth desirous of rendering the highest forms of education a most needed service. There is little room for doubt that at an early date, indeed before the complete organization of the work of the School, some aids of this kind will be provided. The General Statute of the University upon Scholarships, and the privileges accorded to founders of them, may be seen in Part First of this issue of the YEAR BooK. FELLOWSHIPS. The purpose of the Fellowships is to aid the meritorious in special investigations and studies beyond the second degree. The country has a great many scholars of the average excellence of a thorough Master of Artsg it greatly needs, in addition to these, at least a few in every great department of learning, who, over and above the highest ordinary advantages, shall have enjoyed the best that the world can anywhere afford. No private study, particularly in connection with laborious scholastic or professional duties, can ever make good the lack of such oppor- tunities in early life. The General Statutes of the University upon Fellowships are as follows : -- 1. All recipients of the above lhigherl degrees from this University shall be eligible to the University Fellowships, and each Fellow shall be aided in the further prosecution of studies, especially ln foreign universities, hospitals, and other institutions, to the amount of not less than five hun- dred dollars per annum for such periods as the statutes may allow. 2. In filling the professorships of the University, Fellows will be considered as preferred candidates. CALENDAR.

BUCKSPORT, the seat of the East Maine Conference Seminary, is situ- ated on the east bank of the Penobscot River, eighteen miles below Bangor, with which city connnunlcation by railroad is easy and pleasant. The Academic Course embraces a period of four years. The studies of the first year are mostly primary, and students, after satisfactory examlnatlon, can readily be admitted to advanced standing. The Classical Course is intended to afford thorough preparation for the best colleges in the country. We design to furnish ample opportu- nities and most careful drill for such as are looking forward to college life. The Commercial Department has been arranged with a view to impart- ing a thorough and practical business education. It comprises Commer- cial Arithmetlc and Book-keeping in its various forms and applications. To all who satisfactorily complete either of these courses, diplomas will be awarded. The Institution is liberally furnished with a new and complete philo- sophical and chemical apparatus, aifording unsurpassed advantages for the study of those branches which pertain to the Department of Natural Science. During the fall term a class will be formed for the special training of those designing to teach. -The discipline is mild, making its appeal to the stndent's own sense of honorg but no one habitually guilty of immoral practices, or who is persistently disorderly, can be tolerated in the Institution. The boarding-house is under the control of an experienced steward. The price of board is at present 83.00 per week. There are facilities for self-boarding within convenient distances from the school. Tuition ranges from 34.00 to 81.00 per term. ' The academic year is divided into three terms,-two of fourteen weeks and one of twelve, according to the following CALENDAR.

TBIs School has sent classes to college annually for nearly flfty years, and has had but onecandldate rejected. One reason for this thorough preparatlon is the small slze of the Latin classes. If a pupil ls ln a large class, he cannot receive sutllclent help in hls efforts to master the dlf- flcultles of a foreign languageg and, if he ls entirely under the care of a private tutor, he loses the drlll and development that can be obtalnerl only by contact with other scholars of hls age. The arrangements here alm te combine class-work with private tnstructton. The members of a new Latin class seldom exceed ten in numberg and the teachers are ready to give extra help out of recltatlon-hours. Of the flve boys sent to Harvard ln 1879, only one was condltloned ln Greek, no one had a condltlon ln Latin, two entered clear on both. courses now allowed for admission to the unlverslty, and three had honors. In 1878 one who entered Amherst took the prlze of slxty dollars for being the most thoroughly prepared freshman who entered that college. The two facts just stated have alded in causing nearly forty scholars to begln Latln thls year, who have been dlvlded into four classes. Besldcs the beginners, there has been a large accession, from other classical schools, of puplls who had already begun Latlu. These have come, partly from the reasons stated above, and partly from two other causes: - 1. Tun wxrcxrrun cans Hans nr nsosnn 'ro SANITARY Msrrsas. 2. Tas ATTENTION GIVEN 'mneuon 'rum wuoue: CLASSICAL AND ENGLISH Counsss 'ro COMPOSITION, ENoI.tsu L11'EnA'ru1tE, AND DEOLAMATION. The large number of teachers affords unusual advantages for Students wishing to enter Professional Schools without going through College. At this tlme such students are preparing here for the following schools,-Harvard Medlcal, New York Medical, Harvard Law, Boston Theological. Girls are now tn every department. Flve-have gone from here to Bos1.'oN UNIVER- srrv, and others have entered Cornell, Smith, and Vassar. This-is the only school in Boston where glrls can have the advantage of fitting for college ln the same class with boys, under teachers who have successfully carrled on such preparation for many years. Many pupils are now preparlng for THE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY. Inquiry can be made of the Chnlrman and Secretary of that lnstltutlon ln regard to the Chauney graduates presented there for many years. THE BUSINESS COURSE is not continued to one or two branches, but gives a broad and generous culture to enable a young man to take a hlgh stand as a merchant. In order to furnish a means of culture for persons whose school days are over, or whose health does not admlt of full school-hours, SPECIAL STUDENTS ARE ADAIITTED T0 ALL DEPARTMENTS. They have entered classes ln Chemistry, Drawing, French, German, Italian, Latin, Greek, General Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Shakespeare, and Botany. Graduates of High Schools are invited to examine the Posr-onsnvns Cousss. 'J For Catalogues or other information apply to WILLIAM H. LADD. APm1.,1880. V' ' l- O 1' 'I I .4 I -Q-,-,t-'Lx-ft,-.
