Demonstrator of Anatomy. THE Trustees of Howard University and the Faculty of the Howard University Medical College take great 
pleasure in announcing to the public that their First Medical Session will begin on Wednesday, the 28th of 
October, 1868. It is expected that the University Buildings will be so far completed by that time that the Med- 
ical Faculty will be able to commence their lectures in one of the commodious buildings now being erected on 
their grounds. 
One of the finest Medical Colleges in the country, with all the modern improvements attached, is in the pro- 
cess of erection, and by another year the Faculty will be able to inaugurate their full course of lectures under 
the most favorable auspices. The present course will embrace the four main fundamental branches of Medicine, 
namely: Chemistry, Anatomy, Materia Medica, Physiology, and clinical lectures upon Operative Surgery. 
Attendance upon this course of lectures, together with satisfactory evidence of continued study and recitations 
to some respectable practicing physician during the coming year, will entitle the student to a certificate of pupilage, 
which will be recognized by the Howard University Medical College as equivalent to one year of medical study. 
This Institution has free access to the Freedmen’s General Hospital, and is thus enabled to combine Clinical 
with Didactic Lectures, so important in the teachings of every Medical College. The lectures will commence on 
the 28th of October and terminate in the following March, and will be delivered daily, commencing at 5 o’clock, 
P.M. This time of lecturing has been customary in the Medical and Business Colleges of the District, and has 
proved most acceptable to the students of this city. 
All the apparatus necessary for a full illustration of the subjects taught in the present course, have been pur- 
chased, and complete arrangements made for a thorough and practical course of lectures. Opportunities will be 
afforded for the prosecution of the study of Practical Anatomy during the entire session, under the supervision 
of Dr. A, T. Augusta, and classes for private office instruction will be organized by members of the Faculty. 
Before graduating, the candidate must comply with the following 
REGULATIONS: 
1. He must furnish evidence of a good moral character. 
2. He must have studied medicine not less than three years, during which time he shall have attended two 
full courses of lectures at some regular Medical College, one of which shall have been in this Institution. 
3. He shall have dissected at least one winter, and shall have attended the clinical lectures. 
4. He must present to the Secretary of the Faculty an acceptable thesis, in his own handwriting, upon some 
medical subject. 
5. He must pass a satisfactory examination.
