SOME ASPECTS OF MEDICAL EDUCATION* 

 This association has been, should be, and 

 we trust will be the storm center of legis- 

 lation for reform in medical education. 

 Since the memorable editorials of Wood in 

 the old Philadelphia Times, and the mas- 

 terly papers and addresses of Pepper and 

 the practical action of the University of 

 Pennsylvania there has been virile progress. 

 In most respects it seems definitely settled 

 as to the course of education a candidate 

 for the degree of medicine should take. 

 Questions of pedagogy are still debatable, 

 but we take it that that student who wishes 

 the quickest returns, the most lasting re- 

 muneration, perennial stimulation of the 

 intellect and continuous enjoyment in the 

 pursuit of his labors, should take a college 

 education of three or four years, a four, 

 years' course in medicine and, if possible, 

 a hospital interneship. 



Reference need only be made to the re- 

 ports to this association, to the famous re- 

 port of the majority committee of the Asso- 

 ciation of American Medical Colleges, to 

 the numbers of the Journal of the Amer- 

 ican Medical Association, comprehensively 

 devoted to education, and to many recent 

 admirable addresses in support of the state- 

 ments. 



There is talk about maximum and mini- 

 mum requirements, about laboratory and 

 hospital courses, the merits of didactic
