THE COLLEGE BUILDING, The gift of Professor Lane, is an imposing brick and stone structure, five stories and basement in hight and having a frontage of eighty feet on each of two streets. THE THREE-YEAR CURRICULUM Is adopted by this college; attendance upon three Regular Courses-at least one in this institution-being obligatory. A matriculation examination, or other evidence of possessing a fair education, will be required on entering. THE REGULAR COURSE Of Lectures commences on the first Monday in June of each year, and continues until Noveniber. It is thus a Summer course, contrary to the general usage. Commences early in January of each year, and continues nearly four months. It is of great assistance as a preparatory step to the Regular Course, and as offering the fullest opportunities for the prosecution of dissection. Although attendance upon this course is not obligatory, except in the graduating year, it is earnestly recommended that all attend it who can possibly do so. Clinics are given regularly at the City and County Hospital (450 beds) and the Morse Dispensary, where several thousand patients are treated annually. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION. 1. The candidate must be of good moral character, and at least twenty-one years of age. 2. Must have attended three Regular Courses of Medical Lectures, one of which must have been delivered in this institution, and two Courses of Clinical Instruction. Attendance upon the Intermediate or Winter Course will not fill the conditions of this requirement. 3. He must have attended at least one Course of Practical Anatomy in the dissecting room, and present evidence of having dissected the entire subject. 4. He must write a Medical Thesis, and submit the same to the Faculty on or before the 1st of October. 5. He must have passed successfully the examinations required by the Faculty, and have paid all fees due the College. Graduates from other Medical Colleges in good standing, desiring to attend lectures, are required to matriculate only. Those desiring the degree are required, in addition, to present satisfactory testimonials of character and professional standing, to submit to examination in the various branches, and to pay a fee of fifty dollars. BOARDING. Students may obtain good rooms and board at prices varying from five to ten dollars per week.

THE Imperial Dictionary. THE GREAT ENCYCLOPÆDIC LEXICON. In 4 Volumes. The Standard Binding being in Silk-finished Cloth, with Backs and Corners of Black Russia Calf. Professor George P. Fisher, of Yale College, writing of the "Imperial," says: "The class who are engaged in literary work are always ready to welcome a new dictionary which has advantages peculiar to itself. Persons not of this class, who are in the habit of supplying themselves generously with books, will find room for this new-comer. But by individuals and families who, from motives of economy, wish to combine an encyclopedia and an English lexicon in one, the Imperial Dictionary' will be SPECIALLY PRIZED. Indeed, to those who are possessed of more copious encyclopedias, a shorter reference book of this nature is an important convenience." Its vocabulary of 130,000 words is that of a dictionary, but it does more than a dictionary's work, passing on from definitions into descriptions, and from etymologies into histories. It shows in a remarkable manner the various uses of words, by an abundance of quotations from more than 1,500 authors; while its illustrations, exceeding 3,000 in number, assist materially to a complete understanding of any required word. Its scientific and technological definitions, its fullness and accuracy, the pleasant arrangement of its pages, the fact that the work is divided into four volumes, the exquisite typography, the rich binding, and the low price, have combined o give the Imperial' a POPULARITY IN AMERICA far in excess of the expectations of the publishers who introduced it into the American market. All reading, thinking people need a book of reference, and the best critics of England and America are agreed in pronouncing the Imperial Dictionary' "The Best Work of General Reference Ever Published." The "Imperial " is issued in four volumes, and the price, bound in cloth, is $20 a set; in half Russia back and corners, with silk-finished sides, $25 a set; in full extra sheep, $26.
