Creasine attendance, the lecture rooms will also soon

A glance at the curriculum shows what attention is 

 paid to the primary branches, especially chemistry, anat- 

 omy and botany, the last of these entirely ignored in 

 most of our medical colleges and the first and second

 students are not pestered with unnecessarily frequent 

 examinations, as only two examinations a year are 

 held, at the end of each semiannual term. 



The military pupils, of whom there are now 86 in 

 attendance and who finish their studies in four years, 

 have a somewhat different curriculum of study to fol- 

 low. It is as follows: 



First Year. — Anatomy, descriptive and surgical, dis- 

 sections, anatomy and physiology, materia medica. 

 chemistry and practical chemistry, compounding dis- 

 pensary. 



Second Year. — Anatomy, descriptive and surgical.
