Clause XI.

Professor Williams proposed, as an amendment, that the 
clause read —“ That at the first examination there be three 
tables—one for anatomy; one for materia medica, pharmacy, 
and botany ; and one for chemistry—general and practical— 
and toxicology. That twenty minutes be allotted to each 
student at each table ; total, one hour.” By this means phy¬ 
siology and histology would be deferred to the second ex¬ 
amination, for he considered that first-year students, or the 
generality of them, were unfit to pass an examination in 
physiology. Continuing physiology for the second examina¬ 
tion had this advantage, that it kept the student alive to the 
subject of anatomy ; he would be compelled, if not to attend 
to the details of anatomy, at least to remember the principles 
of the science, and, therefore, the examination being divided 
into two, would be a far better test of the student's 
capabilities. 
Professor Simo?ids said he was at first inclined to take a 
similar view, but on considering details he found it was 
totally impracticable so to do. On speaking with his 
colleagues they fully agreed that anatomy and phy¬ 
siology were so intimately bound up together that it would

would be two sessions at a college before presenting himself 
for his examination upon physiology, it was not asking too
