A thorough drilling is given in the preparation of culture media, in sterilization and disinfection, staining, and in the several methods of differentiating bacteria. Pathology. The course in Pathology comprises general and special pathology and clinical microscopy. Post-mortem examinations will be utilized when possible. Coincidentally with the above is included the study of the principal pathogenic bacteria: the principles of immunity and serum therapy. The course of instruction in special pathology will include the study of those processes requiring surgical relief; the healing of wounds and other injuries; of special diseases, neoplasms, and problems of experimental pathology. The course in Clinical Microscopy comprises the study and examination of various tissues, fluids, and material from the standpoint of diagnosis. The instruction in this course is mainly practical, consisting of postmortem examinations, demonstrations, and illustrative lectures pertaining to the subjects of morbid anatomy and special pathology. Especial attention is paid to the study of the gross pathology of diseases of the brain and nervous system. Instruction in the technique of post-mortem examinations for scientific purposes and in medico-legal cases is a feature of the course. C. S. BUTLER, M.D., Surg. U.S.N................. Professor of Tropical Diseases JAMES DUDLEY MORGAN, A.B., M.D....Associate Professor of Medicine J. B. NICHOLS, M.D..... H. H. DONNALLY, A.M., M.D. and Clinical Professor of Medicine ...Associate in Medicine .Clinical Associate in Medicine . Instructor in Medicine Instruction in Medicine is so given as to conform to the most modern requirements. The work begins in the second year with a complete course in history-taking and normal physical diagnosis, and is continued through the third and fourth years. During the latter two years the course consists of lectures, recitations, a study of case histories, clinical conferences, and practical work in the clinical laboratory and at the bedside. The work is made as practical as possible. The third-year class is divided into small sections, which are required to attend the daily dispensary service in the University Hospital, where they are drilled especially in history-taking and in the technique of practical physical diagnosis. The fourth-year class is similarly divided into small sections, and these are required to attend the daily ward clinics in the University Hospital and ward clinics in the Garfield Memorial Hospital, Children's Hospital, and the Tuberculosis Hospital of the District of Columbia. The system of ward clinics to small groups of students affords a most effective method of studying disease and gives to every student an opportunity of following a large assortment of diseases from their commencement to the termination of illness; in no other way is it possible to get a more practical knowledge of the methods of studying disease or a more intimate knowledge of disease itself. Every patient in the medical wards of the University Hospital is assigned to one, or at most two, senior students, who are required (under proper supervision) to take the history, to make and record a complete physical examination, to determine after due study the nature of the illness (diagnosis), to outline a plan of treatment, and to make daily notes of the progress of the case. A weekly amphitheater clinic is given to third-year students in a body and a similar clinic to the fourth-year class. A series of special neurological clinics is provided for the senior class at the Government Hospital for the Insane, where there is a great wealth of material.
