THE 



UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. 



THE Medical Department of the University of 

 Pennsylvania is rapidly increasing in respectability, 

 and in the number of its pupils. The aggregate 

 amount of the Students, during the last winter, was not 

 less than 270, or 275. The greatest number of these 

 were from Pennsylvania, and from the states south and 

 west of Pennsylvania. A few were from New- Eng- 

 land; a greater number from the state of New- Jersey ; 

 two or three from the West- India Islands; and at least 

 two from Europe. 



On the 27th of April last, a public examination of 

 the Medical Candidates was held in the presence of the 

 Trustees and Faculty of the University, and a number 

 of the citizens; and on the following day, the degree of 

 Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon sixty gentle- 

 men, each of whom had written and submitted to the 

 Medical Professors an Inaugural Dissertation, which 

 they publicly defended. The following is a list of the 

 Graduates, a notice of the States or countries from which 

 they came, or in which they reside, and the title of their 

 dissertations.
