J O H N H . W O O D B U R Y , M . D . , 58 TEMPLE STREET, Registrar. CIRCULAR. T H E twenty-sixth annual term of the New-England Female Medical College wil l commence in the College Building, on East Concord Street, on Wednesday, November 5, 1873, and continue sixteen weeks. By its connection with Boston University, a much larger Faculty and greatly increased facilities for instruction are provided. The united Schools wil l be open to students of both sexes, on uniform terms and conditions. The lectures wi l l be heard in common so far as seems appropriate in the judgment of the Faculty, and separate lectures wi l l be given whenever i t is deemed necessary and advisable. Separate cloak and retiring rooms are provided in the col-lege building for the use of lady students. Satisfactory testimonials of good moral character wi l l be required of all. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The regular course wil l be of the most thorough and com-prehensive character, covering three years, in which time i t wi l l be the aim of the Faculty to impart to every student a complete scientific and practical medical education. The graded course, by which the various branches are taught m succession, is considered the best method for thorough i n -struction ; it is therefore earnestly recommended to all who are to commence the study of medicine. To those who have partially completed their course elsewhere, and to those gradu-ates in medicine who desire to acquire a knowledge of the principles and practice as taught in this School, especial atten-tion wil l be given by the Faculty, and every facility rendered for the further prosecution of their studies. The regular course of instruction will be as follows: — FIRST YEAR. Anatomy, general, descriptive, and comparative, with dis-sections ; Histology and Microscopy. Physiology, human and comparative. General Chemistry. Botany. SECOND YEAR. Anatomy, pathological and surgical, with dissections and operations on the cadaver. Medical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Materia Medica. Institutes of Medicine. Clinical Medicine. • General Pathology. Surgery. • ' Clinical Surgery. Ophthalmology and Otology. THIRD YEAR. Materia Medica. Institutes of Homoeopathy and Practice. Special Pathology and Diagnosis. Clinical Medicine. Surgery and Surgical Pathology. Clinical Surgery. Obstetrics. Diseases of Women. Diseases of Children. Medical Jurisprudence, Ethics, and yEsthetics. GRADUATION. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must be twenty-one years old, and of good moral character. Such as have not .pursued the full course of this school and passed its regular examinations must present evidence of hav-9 ing studied medicine three years with competent instruction, and of having attended at least two full and reputable courses of lectures, the last in this school, and must pass an exami-nation satisfactory to the Faculty. They must apply to the Dean of the Faculty four weeks before the time of graduation, and each must then present an original thesis upon some theme related to the studies of the School. COURSE OF LECTURES. The lecture term wi l l commence on. November 5th, 1873, and continue sixteen weeks, closing early in March. A l l the lectures of the three years' course wi l l be delivered during each lecture term. These wi l l combine, as far as possi-ble, the advantages of oral, text-book, and clinical instruction. Students who may not wish to take the full three years' course, as recommended, can attend such courses as they may elect, or all of them, during a single session. FACILITIES FOR INSTRUCTION. The College building, in Fast Concord Street, is centrally and favorably located for the purposes -of the School. The public hospitals and charitable institutions of Boston and vicinity afford to the medical student unsurpassed means of clinical instruction and observation ; and no effort wi l l be spared by the Faculty to secure to the students the full bene-fit of these institutions. Among these the following are under homoeopathic man-agement : — The Massachusetts Homoeopathic Hospital, The Home for L i t t le Wanderers, The Consumptives' Home, The House of the Angel Guardian, The College Dispensary, The Homoeopathic Medical Dispensary. There are, also, the United States Marine and Naval Hos-pitals, the City Hospital and Public Institutions, the New PFigland Hospital for Women, and Children, the Massachu-setts General Hospital, the Carney Hospital, the Eye and Era l O Infirmary, and many smaller institutions in which special studies may be pursued with advantage. CLINICAL INSTRUCTION. A medical and a surgical clinic wi l l be held weekly in 'the col-lege building, under the charge of the Professors, and in these, as in other departments, special effort wi l l be made t o ' familiarize the students with the best methods of examin-ing patients, and to instruct them in all the details of diag-nosis, prognosis, and treatment. Physicians are urgently requested to send to the College Clinics during the lecture session, such cases of general or special disease as possess unusual interest, or require par-ticular skill and experience in their treatment. A l l operations and examinations before the class wil l be entirely gratuitous. SCHOLARSHIPS. A l imited number of free scholarships for the benefit of indigent and worthy female students, are at the disposal of the officers of the college, and wil l be available to such as require assistance. The Homoeopathic Association of Boston University wil l also be able to render some assistance to worthy and indigent students. HOUSE PHYSICIAN TO THE MASSACHUSETTS HOMCEOPATHIC HOSPITAL. A t the close of the lectfire term, an examination wil l be held for this position. The successful candidate wi l l receive board and lodging, and unusual clinical advantages in the Hospital, for one year. TEXT-BOOKS. The following are recommended by the Faculty, for study and reference : — M A T E R I A M E D I C A . — Hahnemann ; Jahr's Symptomen Co-dex ; Hale's New Remedies ; U . S. Dispensatory.

OBSTETRICS'.— Guernsey; Meigs; Cazeaux. DISEASES OF W O M E N . — Ludlam ; Thomas. DISEASES OF C H I L D R E N . — Hartmann ; Tanner; Vogel.

CHEMISTRY. — PMwnes ; Fliot and Storer ; Barker, M E D I C A L JURISPRUDENCE. — Beck ; Taylor. Arrangements have been made with .Otis Clapp & Son to furnish to students all the text-books used in the school at the lowest net cash prices. The Library of the College wil l be open for the free use of the students. By special arrangements, students in the University School of Medicine wil l have access to the Boston Public Library, which is unusually rich in medical literature. TUITION FEES. Matriculation (once only) $5 oo Practical Anatomy . . . . . . , l o oo Graduation . . . . . . . . . 30 oo Tickets for one full course of lectures . . . 100 00 Lecture Tickets for the complete graded course of three years, in advance . . . . . 160 00 Graduates of other medical colleges . . . 50 00 Students who have attended two full courses at other medical colleges, or one at this and one at ^ some other . . . . . . . . 50 00 12 GENERAL EXPENSES. Students can live as cheaply in Boston as in any city of its size, and the general expenses wil l be determined in a great measure by the tastes and inclinations of the individual. The cost of board and rooms need not exceed from five to eight dollars per week. By the formation of clubs, the expense of board has been reduced to less than three dollars per week in some departments of the University. The lectures and other exercises of the school wi l l be ar-ranged at such hours that students l iving in an}- of the neigh-boring cities or towns on the lines of the various railroads may conveniently attend. Season tickets can be obtained by students at reduced rates, the reduction being usually one-half. Inquiry regarding stu-dents' tickets should be made at the railroad offices, and not at the College. The varied and valuable facilities for general culture which Boston affords in its libraries, its collections of natural history, its courses of scientific and literary lectures, its classical and popular concerts, and its art exhibitions, make an aggregate of general educational agencies, whose value to the earnest and ambitious student can hardly be estimated. Its great attractiveness as a place for study, is shown in the fact that graduates of the most distant and celebrated colleges resort to i t for their professional courses. The past year, thirty-four colleges have been represented by their graduates in the School-of Theology and School of Law of Boston U n i -versity, — a larger number than were represented in the cor-responding departments of any other American University. For any further information application should be made to the Dean, I . T I S D A L E T A L B O T , M . D , 3 1 MOUNT VERNON STREET, BOSTON. Or to the Registrar, J O H N H . W O O D B U R Y , M . D, , 58 TEMPLE STREET, BOSTON.
