the operations and examinations of rare cases in the private hospitals under the management of professors of the college, provide a superabundance of indoor clinical material.

UNIVERSITY FREE DISPENSARY.

This dispensary is the outdoor department of the University Clinics. Numerous rooms and the amphitheatres of the college building are used for the examination and treatment of patients. This service is under most successful management and daily a number of the graduating class examine and prescribe for patients. Students are also permitted to make minor operations. The records of the last year show upwards of thirty thousand professional visits of patients.

ST. PAUL.

In addition to the regular clinical instruction at Minneapolis, every Saturday is set apart for clinical instruction at St. Paul. The Senior class are required to attend these weekly clinics, and the schedule is so arranged that the Juniors can likewise avail themselves of these clinics. Saturday afternoons are set apart for a thorough course in bedside instruction. The class, divided into sections, are under the charge of the instructors of the various branches or the members of the visiting staff.

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL.

The authorities of St. Joseph's Hospital have generously constructed an amphitheatre for the benefit of the students of the department, where the excellent course in clinical instruction will continue as in the past. This is the largest hospital in the Northwest, and affords most excellent surgical advantages. A large number of operations were made before the class in this amphitheatre during the last session of lectures. The number of occupied beds in this hospital averages over one hundred.

CITY HOSPITAL.

The new building of this large structure is completed, and the new wing is in process of construction. Upwards of 1,500 patients were treated in the wards of this hospital the last year. In this hospital are encountered a very large number of cases of emergency surgery, so necessary in affording proper clinical instruction. Through the kindness of the Superintendent, Dr. Ancker, and the Board of Control, we are assured that our students will be afforded the amplest clinical advantages in the future. The new house staff of this hospital were recently appointed from among the graduates and students of this department.

* UNIVERSITY FREE DISPENSARY.

This most worthy charity is supported by the Ladies' Aid Society, Mrs. H. C. Burbank, President. The staff consists entirely of the members of the Faculty of this Department. About 12,000 visits were made. by patients the last year. It affords a rich field for clinical work in connection with the College of Medicine and Surgery.

HOSPITAL APPOINTMENTS.

A large number of the graduates and advanced students of this college secure appointments in the various hospitals of the two cities.

Laboratory work will be a leading feature of the course in this college. It will include practical demonstrations in physiology, histology, bacteri ology, pathology, chemistry and urinalysis. In these exercises students will personally participate and will thus be provided with an opportunity to perfect themselves in microscopy.

In addition to the regular didactic course, special lectures will be given upon topics of peculiar interest.

An ample supply of material will be provided for dissections and the demonstration of anatomy will be thoroughly conducted.

The faculty will spare no endeavor to put the college upon a plane with the foremost medical institutions of the country, and, in the realization of this purpose, it bespeaks the support of the medical profession of the north

PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS.

The following regulations govern the professional examinations: Examinations will be conducted at the end of the first, second and third years' work. An examination will be held at the end of the first year upon the subjects of Anatomy, Chemistry, Physiology and Histology; the examination in Anatomy will be mainly confined to Osteology and Syndesmology; in Chemistry the student will be expected to complete his work in General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis; the final examination in Histology will be held at the end of the first year. A final examination in Anatomy, Chemistry, Physiology and Materia Medica, will be conducted at the end of the second year. The examination at the end of the third year, for those entering the graduating class, will be divided into six sections: 1. An examination in the practice of Medicine, Clinical Medicine and Physical Diagnosis.

2. Surgery, Clinical Surgery and Operative Surgery.
