The Hospital Collog© of Medleln Tlie Curators of Central I ' niversity, desiring to establish a medical department where there would be an abundance of clinical material, selected Louisville, Ky., as the site of the college. Clinical teaching has always been one of the chief aims in the course of instruction as laid out by the Faculty. The attendance has grown from year to year, attesting the value of this method of instruction and demanding increased facilities for the accommodation of the students. The Faculty have added to the originally small building until now they possess a large and handsome buihling, with ever3- convenience for the most modern methods of in- struction. To provide for bedside teaching and hospital experience the Faculty purchased a plot of ground immediately in the rear of the college, and erected a large infirmar ' , containing four wards, a number of private rooms, and a clinical amphitheater of the most recent design, thoroughly equipped with an arena for aseptic surgery, and having a seating capacity for over three hundred persons. The laboratories arc under the direction of experienced teachers, and are equipped with the latest and most approved apparatus. The large out-door department assures an abundant supply of clinical material, illustrating all forms of diseases, and especially those incident to the southern and western portions of the United States. The Louisville City Hospital, which is situated across the street from the Hospital College of Medicine, is under the entire control of the Faculty of this college during half the session, when the students have the opll )rtunit • of observing almost every kind of disease or of surgical operation. The Hospital College of Medicine belongs to the Association of American Medical Col- leges, which recpiires four courses of instruction in four separate ' ears, but students who are graduates of recognized colleges and universities, and who have completed therein prescribed courses in elementary l)ranches of medicine, including Chemistry and ISiology, may apply for advanced standing, ;idniilting them into tlie Snphomore Class. :;8
