Students in their first year will be occupied chiefly with the fundamental branches; working in the Anatomical Rooms, the Laboratory, and the Pharmacy; they will receive an outline of the other branches. In their second year they will continue the same branches, in their higher departments, and receive full instruction in Medicine, Surgery, and Obstetrics. In their third year the instruction in these three subjects will continue, and they will enter into practical medical work, under the supervision of their Professors, and will review the fundamental branches. Hygiene will be continued through the three years, and will be taught practically as well as theoretically. Examinations are held at the close of each term, on the subjects therein taught, and a general examination takes place at the end of the third year. It is the aim of the College to make its students accurate observers, careful practitioners, and thorough hygienists. The liberal sentiment of New York has opened to women the great City Hospitals and Dispensaries, with their admirable Clinical Lectures. Among these may be mentioned Bellevue Hospital, which receives annually from ten to twelve thousand patients, over five hundred being obstetrical cases; the Charity Hospital, which contains usually about one thousand patients, the large proportion being affected with chronic diseases; the Fever and Small-pox Hospitals, the Hospital for Epileptics and Paralytics, the Nursery Hospital, the Insane Asylum, the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, and the Demilt and other City Dispensaries. The New York Infirmary also, with its long-established practice, places annually between six and seven thousand patients under the constant observation and care of its students, thus affording unequaled opportunities for practical medical study. For intelligent students, whose means are very small, every effort will be made to render the expense as light as possible. Communications from such students to the Secretary of the Faculty will be considered confidential, and meet with kind consideration. Board may be obtained from $3.50 a week upward. TEXT-BOOKS. The following text-books are recommended to students: Practice of Medicine-Flint; Surgery-Erichesen's Surgery and Paget's Surgical Pathology; Obstetrics-Cazeaux; Anatomy-Gray's Anatomy and Holden's Dissector; Physiology-Dalton; Materia Medica-Biddle; Chemistry— Fowne. Every student, upon matriculating, will be required to deposit with the Secretary a certificate of good moral character, from a physician of good standing, clergyman, or other responsible person. A full term of lectures at any regular Medical School will be accepted as one of the sessions of this College. Dr. Emily Blackwell, Secretary of the Faculty, No. 126 Second avenue, New York.
