It was decidedly more numerous, than the best friends of Transylvania expected it to be; and proved, beyond controversy, that the school has too warm a place in ihn affections of its" numerous alumni, to justify a doubt con- cerning ks future welfare. It i» quite probable, I hat some mistakes will be detected in the catalogue, and that a few names may have been omitted. The records having been kept by diflerent persons, exhibit a want of uniformity, and are so unintelligible in some parts, as to ren- der defects unavoidable. Any communications, sent to the Dean, that may serve to make another edition more perfect, will be appropriated to that object. Three or four marks of reference, require explanation; t ia attached to the names of Honorary graduates; * denotes a Greek thesis; { denotes a Latin thesis; § denotes a French thesis; || denotes that the individuals are, or have been Profes- sors in Medical schools.

The first session of the school began in November 1819*, in Lexington, with a Faculty composed, as follows: Benj. W. Dudley, M. D. Professor of Anatomy 6f Surgery. Charles Caldwell, M. D. Professor of Institutes Sf Materia Medica, Samuel Brown, M. D. Professor of Theory fy Practice. Wm. H. Richardson, M. D. Professor of Obstetrics fyc. SfC James Bltthe, D. D. Professor of Chemitlry. In the year 1823, the Trustees appointed Daniel Drake, M. D. to the chair of Materia Medica and Medical Botany, mak- ing the number of Professors, six. In the year 1825, the chair of Theory and Practice, vacated by the resignation of Dr. Brown, was again filled by the trans- fer of Dr. Drake from Materia Medica. To the latter chair, Charles W. Short M. D. was appointed in the same year. In the year 1827. Dr. Drake "resigned his Professorship of the Theory of Practice, and J no. E. Cooke M. D. was chosen his successor. In the year 1S31, the chair of Chemistry was vacated by the resignation of James Blythe D. D. and the Board of Trustees appointed Lunsford P. Yandell M. D.as principal and H. Hul- bert Eaton, as assistant, to fill the vacancy. No material change occurred in the School, until the year 1837, when a disruption ensued, that seemed for a short sea- son, to jeopardise its very existence. The Trustees, however, undismayed by the circumstances that had gathered around them, soon succeeded in effecting a reorganization, as follows: Benj. W. Dudley, M. D. Professor of Anatomy Sf Surgery. Jas. C. Cross, M. D. Professor of Institutes <$• Jurisprudence. John Eberle M. D. Professor of Theory Sf Practice. William H.- Richardson, M. D. Professor of Obstetrics fyc. Charles W. Short, M. D. Professor of Materia Medica Sf Medical Botany: T. D. Mitchell, M. D. Professor of Chemistry cy Pharmacy. Jas. M. Bush, M. D. Adjunct Professor of Anatomy 6c Surgery. • The organization commenced in 1818, but, the official record is silent in rcb- _ion to that period. 30 Notwitstanding the great pecuniary embarrassments of the country, and the peculiar circumstances accompanying the late disorganization, the number of pupils fell short but fifteen of the catalogue of the previous session. In the month of February 1838, the chair of Theory and Practice became vacant, by the decease of Professor Eberle; and in April, the chair of Materia Medica and Medical Bota- ny was also vacated, by the resignation of Professor Short.— Very soon after the latter event, the Trustees changed the title of the Professorship, to Materia Medica and Therapeutics, to which Professor Mitchell was transferred from Chemistry and Pharmacy; and Robert Peter, M. D. of Lexington, was ap- pointed his successor. The latter gentleman, added to the Chemical department, several powerful Galvanic batteries and a fine collection of apparatus, recently procured from the East; making the laboratory more complete than it ever has been. Shortly after these arrangements, Nathan R. Smith, M. D. of Baltimore, was appointed to the Chair of Theory and Prac- tice. This gentleman was the first teacher of Anatomy in Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, and has since been Professor of Surgery in the University of Maryland. His ex- tensive reputation, as a teacher and writer are too well known, to require further remarks. As a practitioner of Medicine and Surgery, he has long held the highest rank. The entire course of Lectures in this school, costs the sum of one hundred and Jive dollars. In addition, the matriculation fee, which entitles the pupil to use the very extensive library, is Jive dollars. The dissecting ticket is ten dollars, and may be taken or omitted, at pleasure. The dissecting department is under the personal care of Adjunct Professor Bush. As ev- idence of the facilities for procuring the requisite materials for this department, we give the following document, which was prepared at the last session, and signed by 84 students: PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE DISSECT- ING CLASS. Whereas, a report is abroad among the profession, and has been represented to several of us, not only at home, but on our journey to Transylvania, that few facilities for Anatomi- cal Study could be afforded us in this institution—that we would find, at best, a meagre supply of the requisite material, and be privately and publicly discouraged from dissection, by 31 the Faculty—that, in fact, this School was radically defective in its Anatomical Department. And, whereas, such represen- tations have been urgently pressed upon some of us, with the manifest intention of causing us to stop at other schools, we respectfully submit to the public, the following resolutions: Resolution \st. That the representations which, by various means, reached our ears, previous to visiting this School, re- garding the defective condition, and scanty supply of the An- atomical Rooms, have proved to be unfounded. Resolution 2d. That so far as the present session has advanc- ed, (January 2, 1838,) all of us who have applied for Anatomi- cal Material, have been immediately supplied. Resolution 3d. That a large proportion of the classes are, at this lime, actually engaged in practical anatomical investiga- tions; while one half of the members have already enjoyed the advantages of private dissection. Resolution Ath. That none of us have, at any period, during the course, visited either the public or private dissecting a- partments, without finding more than a sufficiency of excel- lent subjects. Resolution 5th. That subjects are furnished us at a very moderate price. Resolution 6lh. That the resolutions above, be signed by all the members of the Dissecting Class. Resolution 1th. That we respectfully request the Dean of the Medical Faculty, to cause to be published in the annual Catalogue, the foregoing resolutions, signed by all the mem- bers of the Dissecting Class NAMES. 1 James King, 2 E.

In addition to the above anatomical advantages, it is proper to state, that very extensive additions will be made to the pre- parato and morbid specimens of the Apartment; for the - ception and display of which, an ample gallary will be erect- ed, in immediate connexion with the anatomical theatre Excellent boarding and lodging, (including fuel and light,) ran be obtained (for three hundred pupils) at the pnee of from *S 50 to $4 per week. It is now well known, that iSteTof'a medical school, in the Union, is more free of vicious nosueoiam-u frienciiv and social intercourse that is SJSSftwalte $_& by the eiti.es of Lexington, l^yCS^^chooi, to send out a first rate order 34 of young men, as substantial proofs of her inherent advan- tages. To students, who purpose to settle in the South, we would say, that Lexington offers the very best opportunity for acquiring accurate information in regard to the most desira- ble points. A very large share of her annual classes, is from the Southern and South Western country, and more useful in- telligence can be had from this source, than by a tour of seve- ral months _ The qualifications for becoming candidates for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, are as follow: The persons offering must be 21 years of age, and must have been engaged in the study of medicine during three years. Two full courses of lectures in a chartered medical school, (the last of which in this Institution) are also requisite. But persons who exhibit satisfactory proof of having been en- gaged in reputable practice for the space of four yearsj may be pandidates, by attending one course of lectures; which must be in this school.. Each candidate is required to exhibit all. his tickets to the Dean, before his name can be enrolled.— The fee for graduation,, is $20>. In conclusion, we add, that no medical school in the Unr- |ed States affords to the pupils, so many opportunities of wit- nessing'important surgical operations. Therrofessor of Anat- omy and Surgery, not only gives twelve lectures per week^ (aided by Adjunct Professor Bush,> hut he perforins,'in the presence of the classes, many operations of great interest to the student.
