THE COLLEGE YEAR.

The sixth year of instruction will begin on Tuesday morning, October 10th, 1893, and will continue eight months.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.

The legislature of 1891 appropriated eighty thousand dollars for medical buildings and for the equipment of the medical department. These new buildings have been completed and equipped, and are now in use; they answer the demands of modern medical education. They are situated upon the campus and afford the students of medicine the advantages of University associations. They are readily reached by railway and electric car lines.

LABORATORIES AND LIBRARIES.

The laboratories of anatomy, physiology and materia medica are situated in the medical building; those of chemistry his tology and pathology in a separate building especially adapted for this purpose. A good foundation has been laid for the equipment of these laboratories and they will be brought speedily to the point of completion in their outfit.

The general museum of the University comprises the collections of the geological and natural history survey of the State. It contains upwards of twelve thousand specimens and will be available to students for the purposes of examination and study.

The general library of the University contains about thirty thousand volumes and is open daily for the use of students of all departments.

In addition, a large medical libary is located in the medical building, where its usefulness has been established by the fact that some nine hundred volumes have been used by the students each month during the term. It furnishes a means of collateral study which the students might not otherwise enjoy.

LENGTH OF COURSE.

This college requires of its students four years of medical study and three annual courses of lectures of eight months each. Students are advised to devote four years to their college work before applying for the degree of doctor of medicine. schedule is so arranged that a four years' course may be taken to advantage. It will be made obligatory upon new matriculates in

the near future.

ADVANCED STANDING.

The

Students from other colleges who desire to take advanced standing will be required to present satisfactory evidence that

their completed studies are an equivalent of similar work done in this college, or in the absence of such evidence, must undergo an examination in such branches conducted by the respective chairs in this college.

Examinations for advanced standing will occur during the last two weeks of the regular session and on the first Tuesday in October.

Students or practitioners of medicine can pursue special courses of study in one or two branches upon the payment of a fee of twenty-five dollars. Work completed in such special courses will be properly credited toward future class-standing, but no certificate of "time" will be issued to unclassified or special students.

LABORATORY AND CLINICAL INSTRUCTION.

Laboratory work and clinical teaching is intended to be the dominant characteristic of the course in this college.

The student is taught the technique of the microscope and does practical work in the preparation and recognition of both normal and diseased tissues in embryology; in bacteriology; in physiological chemistry; in inorganic and general chemistry; in chemical and microscopical urinalysis, and in anatomical dissections. Demonstrations in anatomy, physiology and chemistry accompany the didactic teaching. The laboratories are under the direct charge of the didactic professors.

The college draws from the University Dispensary, in the Medical building and from the larger hospitals of the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, its clinical material.

THE UNIVERSITY FREE DISPENSARY,

Is the outdoor branch of the college clinics. Since the removal of the department to the campus, it has been installed in commodious quarters in the basement of the new building. The daily attendance of patients is rapidly increasing. The dispensary staff consists of the clinical teachers of the faculty and of carefully chosen assistants. The senior class is divided into small sections which, in turn, attend the several divisions of the dispensary and aid in the examination of patients, the diagnosis of disease, the writing of prescriptions and the conduct of minor operations.

WALKING CLINICS.

Upon Wednesday of each week several hours are occupied in the conduct of walking clinics, for the benefit of the senior and junior classes of the college. These are held in the medical building and are under the direction of the clinical teachers.
