^C^/Medical Academy of Georgia. This Institution, chartered by the Legislature of €reorgia in 1828, will commence its operations in the City of Augusta, on the nrst day of October next. Its operations will be different from those in any of the Medical Colleges of the United States. They will be suited to the beginning, as well as the advan- ced student. They will combine, in the same Instil tution, a regular system f private study, consisting of Medical Reading, Examinitions, and Anatomical Exercises, -with regular eourat^ of Lectures on all the branches of Medicine, with Demonstrati »ns, and (so soon as the City Council of Augusta may be able to erect a new Hospital in the immediate vicinity of the Academy,) Clinical Lectures and Observations. Two Lectures will be daily delivered before the Class, during Academic hours, for eight months in the year. Th other four months, viz. from June to September, both inclusive, the Lectures will be sus- pended, in order to afford an opportunity, during the warm season of the year, for accommodating those who may desire to visit their friends at a distance; but all the other exercises of the School will be con- tinued with those who may be disposed to remain, and 1he Clinical benefits will probably be greater at that season. The Academic hours, during which all Students will be expect* d to be found in the Institution, duly engaged in their studies, will, from the autumnal to the vernal equinox, be from 9 to 12 o'clock, A M. and fr' m 2 to 5, P. M.; and from the vernal to the autumnal, irom 8 to 12, A. M. and 2 to 6, P. M. From fifty to eighty Students can be accommoda- ted with private rooms for lodging and study in the 5* M Institution; and such order will at all times be pre- served about the premises, that no student who may desire to attend to his studies in other than \cademic hours, will be subjected to any interruption. Students will be allowed to take board in any respectable boarding house within the City, which may be sufficiently convenient to enable them to conform to the regulations of the Institution; but as it is believed that the benefits and conveniences will be greatly increased by entire residence at the Institution, without the loss of time, and the expo- sure necessarily attendant on going several times each day through the City, to a boarding house, arrange- ments have been made whereby as good plain, sub- stantial board as the Augusta market will afford, will be furnished by a Steward at Inn? TnHt.it.ut.inn, at the verv moderate price of $9 per month, and board with lodging at $10 25. Board will be expected to be paid monthly, or quarterly in advance, as may be agreed on between the Student and Steward V ompetent Library will be supplied, without any expense on the part of the Student for the pur- chase of Books. The expense of the Student for the benefits of this Institution, consisting of Regular Lectures on all the branches of Science usually taught in Medical Colleges, Regular Leading, Examinations on Read- in" and Lectures, and Clinical Benefits, will be $100 per annum, payable in all cases half-yearly in advance. Arrangements will, as early as possible, be made for a Course of Lectures on Botany, and one on Medical Jurisprudence ; but as these are not branches which are generally taught regularly in our Colleges, Students will not be compelled to take tickets to them. The Annual I\x filiation of all the pupils in the Academy, who shall have heard one complete Course 3 of Lectures therein, will take place on the third Monday in May, before a Board of Exar ination, consisting of the Tiustees of the Academy, and the Faculty; when the Degree of Bichklor of Medi- cine will be conferred on such as may be eligible to examination for that Degree, and shall, by a satis- factory examination, and defence of an Original V e- dical Thesis, prove themselves worthy the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. No Student will be eligible to examination for the Degree in this Institution, who shall not have en- joyed the benfits, and conformed in a satisfoc ory manner to the regulations of this Institution 1 »r at least one Academic year, and in no case wiM .he Degree be conferred without satisfactory evidence of professional merit, without regard to time. The Baccalaureate conferred by this Institution will be evidence of the grade of merit on which the Doctorate is now conferred in this Country; and will supersede the necessity of a License from the i Board of Physicians ; and when the Doctorate shall * • be received by the Bachelors of this Institution, it df will be considered as an evidence of still higher at* tainments and farther opportunities. The Trustees of this Institution have not been able to stipulate precisely, whi-.t shall be prerequi- sites in classical and literary attainments, to admis- sion into this Institution, because no general rue has been adopted by Other Medical Institutions in this Country on this point; but,the Executive Com-* mittee and the Factdty must earnestly recommend to all young gentlemen.who intend to devote their minds to the study of Medicine, i< first possess them- selves of a correct knowledge of the Latin and Greek Languages, in addition to a good English » duca- tion, including a general knowledge of Natural Phi- losophy and Mathematics The Lectures will be delivered by the following Gentlemen: 4 Mtlton Antony, M. D., on the Institutes and Practict of Medicine; and on Midwifery, and the Di^eas' s of Women and Children. Lewis D. Ford, M. D., on Chemistry, and on Materia Medica. Ignatius P. Garvin, M. D., on Anatomy, and on Surgery. It is hoped and believed that the advantages of the combined courses of study, the convenience, the health of Augusta, and the great economy, both of time and money, which the opportunities in this In- stitution will afford, will be found competent to in- sure its establishment, growth and abundant useful J > ness.
