Personnel. 
One professor and one chef de service to prepare.

1. The teaching of anatomy, surveillance and direction of the 
dissecting room. 
2. Surveillance, conservation, and description of anatomical 
collections. 
3. Surveillance, conservation, and collection of materiel for the 
anatomical chair. 
Observations .—It would be advisable to attach to the anatomical 
chair two pupils in their second year (of attendance), chosen by 
concours , whose duties would be to assist the professors in the pre¬ 
paration of subjects for demonstration, and officiate as monitors to 
beginners in the dissecting room. In this recommendation the 
committee have not been prompted alone by the perfectionation 
which such would confer on the system of education, but have 
thought that such a plan would excite emulation among the pupils, 
while it tended to shew who among them evinced promise of one 
day being able to take the offices of teachers themselves. 
The assistants in the anatomical department ought to receive 
remuneration.
