The general average time which patients spend in a hospital is about twenty-five days, so that in the same ratio there would be given about seventy-three thousand days of care extended to twenty-eight hundred patients. As saidibefore, this is what the Board are aiming and working- for, and the sooner the day arrives the better it will be for the community, the profession and the medical students. Until that day comes it must be content with smaller things, and earnestly strive by painstaking care and fair dealing to so impress those who desire to help their fellow man, that it is worthy of their confidence and may be safely trusted. 251

Large priv- ilege of election is offered, so that the greatest variety of l ffijli individual tastes and needs are met. No prescribed courses are outlined, but several years of work are offered in each subject, of which the student may take much or little. Certain requirements are made as to the number of different groups from which selection of work is made of those who are candidates for the grad- uating degree of B, A., but special students are permitted to take what- ever subjects they are prepared for. Few subjects, long continued, is felt to be the proper educational method, as opposed to a large number of subjects taken in hasty and elementary fashion. XYith this belief, most of the departments will give no credit in any subject for less than a year of daily work. The subjects that can at present be obtained in this extended way are: Greek, Latin, German, French, English, Philology, English Literature, Biblical Literature, Philosophy, Political History, Social Science, Economics, Mathematics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics, Zoology, Botany and Geology. The scientific laboratories are thoroughly equipped for work in a way that should .appeal to any medical preparatory student who is ambitious to take part in the advancement of his science. The best apparatus and material, and the most advanced methods, enable the student to enter the great field of modern investigation. Lake Forest College is now paying a good deal of attention to the proper preparation of students for the medical colleges, and outlines courses of greater or less length that have this purpose in view.
