In the ensuing session a maternity department was organized in the Hospital, and practical instruction was given to members of the gratiuating class in the use of the lary11goscope and the ophthalmoscope. By the resignation of Dr. W. H. Pancoast in 1886 a vacancy was made in the chair of anatomy, which was hlled by the promotion of Dr. W. S. Forbes, who for seven years had performed satisfactorily the duties of demonstrator. Dr. Bartholow laid aside the cares of the deanship in 1887-88 and the faculty chose Dr. Holland for this duty. In the next year provision was made for a better use of the hospital facilities by the creation of five clinical leetureships, which were first administered as follows: Orthopaedic Surgery, O. H. Allis, M.D., Laryngology, C. li. Sajous, M.D., Chtldren's Diseases, O. P. Rex, M.D. g Dermatology, A. Van Harlingen, M. D. 5 Renal Diseases, J. C. Wilson, M.D. The death of President Gardette was followed by the election of Hon. james Campbell in the year 1889. The untimely death of Dr. W. Gross occurred in the spring of that year. Profoundly versed in surgical pathology, he was a warm advocate of the antiseptic system in surgery, just then coming into vogue, and did much to establish it as the ruling method at the Hospital. In his lectures he was clear and emphatic, his discourse sweeping on in a river of words all bearing directly towards his definite aim. In his stead was appointed W. W. Keen, M.D., who had made a name equally distinguished in medical letters, medical teaching and as an operator. With the session of T890-QI a chair known as the Honorary Professorship of Laryngology was created for Dr. J. Solis-Cohen, whose standing in this department was of the highest. The rules 11ow required that all matriculates wl1o could not show a certificate from an academy or college of asuitable preliminary education should pass an entrance examination in linglish and in Elementary Physics. A graded curriculum extending over three years was also required. At the close of the session 1890-91 Dr. J. M. Da Costa, having taught clinical medicine and practice of medicine to loving and admiring classes for twenty-four years in this institution, resigned his chair, accepting the title of jv'1W.r.i'or cmfrz'l1u. His successor, J. C. Wilson, M. D., had made his mark in medical letters and n1edieal teaching while engrossed with the cares of a large professional practice. Owing to the poor health of Professor Bartholow in this session the course on Materia Medica and Therapeutics was conducted partly by Professor Holland and partly by Dr. A. P. Brubaker. In place of Dr. Ilartholow, made ju1yQ'.r.vnr c111c1'1'f11x, who was a forcible teacher, with a rare gift of clear and succinct statement, the Trustees elected- Hobart A. Hare, M.D., who had made a name by his researches in physiological therapeutics and as a lecturer on the diseases of children. Dr. Morris Longstreth was promoted from the lectureship to the professorship of General Pathology and Pathological Anatomy. In 1882 Hon. Joseph Allison, LL.D., was elected president and E. E. Montgomery, M.D., recently professor in the Medico- Chirurgical College, was appointed Professor of Clinical Gynecology with a seat in the faculty. The next live years form a period of active evolution, with many additions to the teaching corps. The faculty chair of ophthalmology, the hrst incumbent of which was Dr. William Thomson, after his resignation was occupied by George E. de Schweinitz, M.D., late professor in the Polyclinic College, while W.
