work there is constantly a review of the anatomical and physiological re- 

 lations of the organ studied. 



"Besides these morning classes, two evening courses of lectures have 

 been given, the first on 'Clinical Anatomy,' the second on 'The Finer 

 Anatomy of the Nervous System.' In the former, which extended over 

 a period of two months, the time was spent in the study of the normal 

 relations and position of the abdominal and thoracic organs, the staff out- 

 lining these by clinical methods on living subjects after the position of 

 each had been indicated by drawings and upon a skeleton. 



"To the second series of lectures the physicians of the city were also 

 invited. This course extended over a period of three months. 



"The excellent library of the laboratory has been rearranged and two 

 different catalogues made, to enable the staff to carry on their studies with 

 more freedom and to open for them every opportunity to do original work. 

 The medical journals have also been rearranged in regular series, with 

 the same object in view. 



"To aid in teaching and study, the gross specimens in the museum have, 

 been carefully mounted and arranged in groups. As this is added to 

 from time to time it will form a very important feature in the advan- 

 tages which the laboratory offers for study. 



"Enlarged drawings have been made of Miss Florence Sabin's excel- 

 lent model of the medulla, pons and mid-brain, to aid in the teaching of 

 this important and very intricate portion of the central nervous system. 

 Nothing could be of more service in enabling the student to grasp the 

 structure of this region than the model which Miss Sabin has constructed." 



In 1900 the medical colleges commenced their didactic and clinical 

 lectures to their students. This course, with a variation of the program, 

 has been continued each year. Indiana University also presents an annual 

 course in psychology. The pathologist each lecture-day presents some 

 pathological demonstration, the program for each session being : 



Didactic lecture, one hour. 

 Clinical lecture, one hour. 

 Pathological lecture, one hour. 



Members of the hospital staff alternate in arranging cases for the 

 clinical lectures. This course is free to practioners and students of medi- 

 cine ; others are admitted upon special permission of the superintend- 

 ent or lecturer.
