   The several courses of Instruction  will commence, as usual, in this Institution,  on the first Monday in Novem-
ber.  The Session will be opened by an Address from the President.
   Since  the last Winter important additions have been made to the Chemical Apparatus, a Laboratory has been
built, and the Chemical Lecture-Room has been  so altered, as perfectly to accommodate the Students  attend-
ing Dr. Mac Neven, the Professor of that Science.
   Such provision has been made  by law for the Anatomical Department,  that Dr. Smith,  the Professor of
Anatomy, will give a  complete course of Demonstrations, and will also illustrate his Surgical Lectures,  by per-
forming all the operations, practicable upon the healthy subject, in the presence of his class.
   Dr. Hosaek will Lecture on the Theory and Practice of Medicine, and a full and complete  course will also be
given on Obstetricks,  and the Diseases of Women and Children.
   The above series of Lectures constitute the Winter Session; the Spring Term,  whieh commences on the third
Monday in April, consists of Lectures  on Natural  History,  and on Botany; the  former  by Dr. Mitehill, the
latter by Dr. Hosaek.
   The Lectures on Natural History are  illustrated by a large collection of Mineralogieal and Geological Speci-
mens ; and an  elegant Museum,  to which the Students can have access, affords every facility for the acquisition
of zoological knowledge.
   The Botanic Garden having been purchased by the State, and placed under the direction of the College, the
S-'jdenis of Botany will have an  opportunity of visiting: that establish mest*  whonev^p  *!» ,y *Mnk proper, ur.d of
examining the many rare and valuable plants which it contains.
   The various courses of Instruction delivered  in the College, are so arranged, as to form a complete System of
Medical Education; and the Trustees and Professors confidently promise, that no exertion on their part shall be
wanting to fulfil the just expectations  and liberal views of their Patrons, the Legislature and the Regents.
   The Professors are bound to examine all Applicants for Degrees,  and to report to the Regents such as they
approve,  on or before the first day of March in every year.  The Diplomas  are then granted, and the Degrees
are conferred in this City, on the first Tuesday in May, the Candidate  having previously delivered to the Pro-
fessors, and defended at a public Examination,  a Thesis on some subject connected with Medicine.  The  Thesis
may be printed at the discretion of the Graduate, with the approbation  of three of the Professors.
