JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILADELPHIA. ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF LECTURES, &c. &c. &c. FOR THE SESSION MDCCCXXXIV—V: AND CATALOGUE OF THE STUDENTS AND GRADUATES FOR THE SESSION MDCCCXXXIII-IV. PHILADELPHIA, * PRINTED BY WM. F. GEDDES—9 LIBRARY ST. 1834. JEFFERSON MEDICAL COLLEGE, PHILADELPHIA- TRUSTEES. The Rev. ASHBEL GREEN, D. D. LL. D. President. SAMUEL BADGER, Esq. JACOB FRICK, Esq. JAMES M. BROOM, Esq. DAVJD S. HASSINGER, Esq. Rev. C. C. CUYLER, D. D. Hon. Judge KING, General WM. DUNCAN, Hon. JOEL B. SUTHERLAND, Rev. EZRA STILES ELY, D. D. The Trustees and Professors of Jefferson Medical College, in sending forth their Annual Announcement for the Session 1834—35, congratulate the friends of the Institution on the prosperity of its affairs. Although its advancement was greatly retarded during the earlier periods of its history, by unpropitious circum- stances, almost inseparable from such enterprises, still, the progress which the College has made in reputation, and in the increase of students is, they believe, unparalleled in the history of similar institutions in the United States. To cor- roborate this opinion, they beg leave to state that the number of students has nearly doubled within the last two years- Session 1832—33, 96 Students. Session 1833—34, 172 Students. This increase in the number of their pupils, it will be admitted, is truly re- markable, an 1 furnishes the best and most satisfactory evidence of the estimation in which their efforts, in the cause of Medical Education, have been received by the members of the Profession. Flattering, however, as it is, to the prospects of the School, the Trustees and Professors conceive, that the increase, this spring, in the list of Graduates, demonstrates, still more strongly, the reputation which Jefferson Medical College has secured for her Diploma. Last year, the number of Graduates was nineteen. In no former year, have they exceeded thirty two. This pre- sent year, they amounted to fifty-five!! The Trustees and Professors are aware that so remarkable an increase of Graduates may at first sight appear unaccounta- ble, and, as the Class of the preceding year was only ninety-six, that the number of gentlemen who have received the Doctorate this Session is greatly out of proportion to the Class, which, under common circumstances, might be considered the only source for furnishing them. The explanation, however, of this apparent anomaly will be found most satisfactory to the friends of the Institution, and proves the esti- mation and value attached to the system of medical instruction pursued in Jeffer- son Medical College. More than one-half of the gentlemen who graduated in the Institution this year, commenced their studies in other Colleges, and a number of them had, during the previous session, been students of the University of Penn- sylvania. As these gentlemen, after spending one session in Philadelphia in at- 3 tendance on the Lectures of the Universitt, and, after having had full opportu- nities of examining the comparative facilities and advantages afforded by the two Institutions for the acquisition of a medical education, were induced to sacrifice their first preferences, and to select Jefferson Medical College as their Alma Mater, a higher and more gratifying tribute could not have been paid to the merits of that Institution. Moreover, a considerable number of students, attend- ing Jefferson Medical College, last Session, besides those who have graduatedi commenced their studies in the University of Pexnsylvania. The Trustees and Professors are not aware of a single instance where a student, who had attend- ed the Lectures in their Institution during the previous Session, left it and gave a preference to any other Medical School; of this they are certain, that in the printed catalogue of the University of Pennsylvania, the name of a single student who had previously matriculated in Jefferson Medical College, will not be found. These facts require no comment. Nothing invidious is intended by their publication. The sole object which the Trustees and Professors of Jefferson Medical College have in their dissemination, is to put the Profession at a dis- tance, in possession of facts which cannot be controverted; which are most honour- able to the reputation of their School, proving, as they do, the comparative esti- mation in which it is regarded in reference to the oldest, and, until now, the most celebrated Medical School in the United States, by intelligent gentlemen, who have had ample opportunities of examining the merits of both. All the Trustees and Professors of Jefferson Medical College have asked for their Institution, has been that its claims should be fairly examined. They have not pressed students on their arrival in the city to enter at once to the Lectures of their School, but, have even dissuaded them from doing so. Their advice to students has always been to attend the Lectures of both Institutions for some time before they made their selection, and after having carefully examined the merits of each, to come to a decision- Surely, reason and common sense will approve of such a line of conduct. As the Lectures of both Institutions are open to all students, without the production of tickets, for the first fortnight, there is no necessity for any one to matriculate until he has had an opportunity of examining and comparing the advantages he may obtain by becoming a stu- dent of the University of Pennsylvania or of Jefferson Medical College. In every "Annual Announcement," the Trustees and Professors have pressed this advice on the attention of the students resorting to Philadelphia. It is so reasonable and so clearly for the student's own interest that they trust they will be excused for again urging it. Two years ago, they are aware, that the sister Institution possessed advantages on the score of reputation, and that this naturally operated powerfully in inducing young gentlemen, immediately on their arrival in the city, unhesitatingly, to matriculate as students in that Medical School. This extrinsic advantage, however, no longer exists. It is now con- ceded by every person conversant with the subject, that Jefferson Medical College presents advantages and facilities for the acquisition of a medical edu- cation which are not to be surpassed. Were evidence of this required, the single fact before adverted to, would be conclusive, viz, that a number of students, 4 after attending Lectures for one session in what had formerly been considered as the first Medical School in the United States, had been induced, after a compari- son of its merits with those of Jefferson Medical College to select the latter, in preference, for the completion of their medical studies. If the rapid increase of students in Jefferson Medical College has been a sub- ject of sincere gratification to the Trustees and Professors, the conduct of the gentlemen in attendance on the Lectures has not been less so. Indeed, nothing could exceed the zeal and diligence with which the members of the class devot- ed themselves to the acquisition of Medical information, and the kindness and good feeling evinced by them towards each other. There was no jarringi like the members of a large family, united in a common pursuit, only emulous to excel each other, all was union and harmony. This is no mere common place compliment to the members of the class of last session. It is what their diligence and good conduct has justly earned for them. It was remarked, and admired, by their fellow students, who had attended lectures in other Institutions; and» their Professors, some of whom have been engag- ed for more than twenty years in the duties of tuition, can truly and cheerful- ly testify, that they have never in the course of their experience seen so much diligence and so much improvement. The Professors of Jefferson Medical College conceive that the system they adopt in their intercourse with the students has had some influence in this most favourable result. They believe that it is not only in their Chairs, that they can communicate information, but that, by cultivating a personal acquaintance with their pupils, they can induce confidence, and communicate in familiar conversa- tion, not only much useful information, but, also, stimulate their young friends to zealous and devoted study. When a youth of ingenuous mind, sees his pre- ceptors laborious in the performance of their duties, and seeking zealously every opportunity to improve and communicate information to those whose edu- cation has been intrusted to them, he can scarcely fail to become himself a diligent and attentive student. Impressed with the importance of cultivating the intimacy of the students, the Professprs instituted lsst Session a Series of Medical Conversaziones, which were occasionally held in the Hall of the Museum on Saturday evenings. Tea and coffee were served, and the hours from 8 till 11 o'clock spent, in agreeable and intimate intercourse by the students and Professors. The effect of this na- turally was, an intimacy and friendly feeling between the parties, which led to the happiest results, and such as will encourage the Professors to continue their Medical Conversaziones for the future. In the "Annual Announcement for the Session 1832-33, the Trustees and Professors of Jefferson Medical College gave so full an account of the several topics of interest connected with the Institution, that it is only necessary for them in the present address, briefly to advert to a few of them. I. CHARTER. The Trustees and Professors certainly expected after they had in the " An- nouncement," referred to, pledged themselves as to the fact of Jefferson Mxdicai, 5 College possessing a charter of incorporation from the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania, which conferred on it immunities and privileges equal to those enjoyed by the most favoured Medical Institutions in the United States, that it would not again have been necessary for them to refer to this subject- They have the most perfect conviction that there is not a single individual residing in the city of Philadelphia, who entertains the shadow of a doubt as to her right to confer Medical Degrees, being in all respects equal to that enjoyed by the Univebsity of Pennsylvania; but they do know that several students who came to Philadelphia last Session, with the intention of matriculating in Jefferson Medical College, were deterred from doing so from their having been assur- ed by individuals, whose rank and position in society, it certainly would have been expected, would have prevented them from stating what they knew to be incorrect, "That Jefferson Medical College had no charter of incorporation." Aware of this, they would guard students who may come to the city from being deceived by such a mis-statement. They again assert that Jefferson Medicab College was incorporated by a Special Act of incorporation in the year 1826, and they would refer those who may have any curiosity on the subject, to the act itself, which will be found in the Volume of Acts of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Passed at the Session 1826, Chap- ter LXX1V- Page 232.

COLLEGE BUILDINGS. The additions to the College Buildings, as the Class of last year are aware, are now completed. In the convenience of their accommodation and in the fa- cilities they afford for teaching Medicine, they could not possibly be improved. IV. MUSEUM. In their Annual Announcement for 1832-33 the importance of an extensive Museum, as an appendage to a Medical School, was insisted on by the Trustees and Professors of Jefferson Medical College. Fully aware of the value of pre- parations in the communication of instruction, the creation of a great Museum in connection with their Institution has been an object never lost sight of by its Professors. For the last two years, they have been most indefatigable in their exertions in endeavouring to obtain the services of some gentleman accomplish- ed in the art of making Preparations, to act as Curator of their Museum, and to give his whole time and attention to the preparation of Anatomical and Patho- logical specimens. 6 The difficulty of engaging in this service a gentleman competent to these duties is greater than can be easily imagined. Few persons of education have devoted their attention to the preservation of Anatomical preparations, and the few who have done so, are engaged in the service of European Universities. After much trouble, and many disappointments, the Faculty are happy to be enabled now to announce, that they have succeeded in accomplishing the object of their wishes, and have been so fortunate, as to have entered into an engage- ment with Mr- Cosgrave, of London, a gentleman highly qualified for the discharge of the duties of the office of Curator to an Anatomical Museum. Mr. Cosgrave ar- rived in this country in the month of March, and has ever since been actively and laboriously engaged in preparing specimens, for the illustration of healthy and morbid Anatomy. Many of these have been obtained from the operations of the Professor of Surgery, during the course of his practice. Detailed histories of the cases as well as of the specimens, collected by the former Professor of Anatomy, will hereafter be given and published in a volume for the benefit of those students, who have access to the museum. In the Announcement referred to, it is stated, "The present Museum belong- ing to Jefferson Medical College, as compared with the other collections, at- tached to similar Institutions is a respectable one." The Professors cannot however, consent to remain satisfied until they have placed every department of their school, on an equality as respects the facilities for Medical instruction, with the oldest and the most celebrated Medical Establishments. In nothing have the Institutions of this country been so deficient, viewed in reference to those of Europe, as in their Museums of Normal and Pathological Anatomy. And as Pathological Anatomy from the labours of Cruveilhier, Andral, Hope, Cars- well, and a host of others, has acquired an importance, which can only be equal- ed by its value, in the elucidation of the symptomatology and the treatment of diseases, the Professors of Jefferson Medical College have determined to exert themselves most zealously in the creation of a Magnificent Museum. From the progress which has been made in the collection and preparation of speci- mens, since the arrival of Mr. Cosgrave, they feel confident that the Museum of the College, will become all that the friends of the Institution could desire. And they beg leave to take the present opportunity of soliciting them, should they in the course of their practice, meet with remarkable cases, to transmit the specimens through some of their friends who may be visiting Philadelphia. They will be gratefully acknowledged and the names of the Donors recorded.* Anatomical Museums may be formed, either for mere show or for furnishing valuable subjects for the illustration of the different topics of medical science, which are taught in the Lectures. The Professors are aware, if they were only olicitous to attract the admiration of the uninformed that they would best, and with least trouble, succeed in their object, by filling their cases with showy spe- cimens, such as wax casts, &c &c.; but these, though they may serve ad eap- * In preserving Morbid parts to transmit, all that is necessary is merely to have them re- moved from the body and placed in a vessel of whiskey. If the specimens are large, after re- maining in the spirits for a fortnight, the old whiskey can be drawn off, and fresh added and the vessels tied over with a bladder. 7 tandum, are really ill calculated to convey to the mind an accurate idea of the objects they are intended to represent. In the collection of preparations of Jep- ferson Medical College, there will be no effort made to charm the eye, but, every preparation will be calculated to teach indelibly a useful Professional les- son. The minutiae of healthy structure will be so exhibited, as to enable the Professor of Anatomy to render his demonstrations clear and intelligible to the youngest student; and the various changes produced in the organizatien of the different tissues, will enable the Professors of Obstetrics, Surgery, and of the Practice of Physic, to give force and interest to their Lectures- Based as the Practice of Physic, in the present state of the science is, on Pathological Anato- my, reference must constantly be had to it, if it be the object of the Professor to keep pace with the progress of his science; and to refer to this, without having specimens to illustrate the facts which it is his object to inculcate, is not to in- form, but only to confuse the minds of his pupils. The Faculty, to render their collection still more rich in subjects of illustration, have ordered, from Europe, a large collection of original Drawings, exhibiting on a large scale, Anatomical, Physiological, and Pathological Demonstrations. These will be received before the commencement of the Session, so as to enable the Professors to use them during the course of Lectures. To enable the students to derive every possible benefit from the Museum, it will be open for certain hours daily for their admission, and the preparations which have been employed in the illustration of the Lectures, will be permitted to remain on a table in the Museum for several days, so as to allow of a more attentive and careful examination, than could be obtained in the class room. V. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. The Trustees and Professors admit that the great ends of a medical educa- tion can be best accomplished by the students spending a considerable portion of their time in the offices of intelligent practitioners; where they may devote their attention to reading, and become familiar with the endemic diseases of the country and the practical duties of the profession. They acknowledge their conviction, that oral instruction by lectures may be carried too far, and become even pernicious, when it is continued through, the greater part of the year. By such a course, all intellectual labor, is transferred from the pupil to the teacher; the mind of the student not being compelled to study, reflection and healthful exercise; its obvious tendency is to deprive his faculties of those habits of observation and self dependence, necessary to their vigorous action, and in- dispensable when he shall have commenced the practice of his profession.—On the other hand, it is manifest that two full courses of public lectures during their medical studies and attendance upon large hospitals, will give them more just, extended and liberal views, than can be possibly acquired otherwise. Four months, the longest term in any of the Universities or Medical Colleges of the United Stales, are scarcely sufficient, however, for this purpose. Six months is now the common period in all the principal medical schools of Europe. In that time a complete course of instruction may be given in all the departments .8 oj medical science. It will afford the student ample time for investigating the demonstrative branches, operative Surgery, Anatomy, Chemistry, &C., facilities for which can only be found in large cities, hospitals and public establishments devoted to medical education. But though the Trustees and Professors of Jef- ferson Medical College feel deeply convinced of this, yet they are aware that it would be scarcely prudent in a young institution, singly to attempt so great an innovation. Convinced, however, that the period is not remote, when the medi- cal schools of the United States, participating in the general movement of every part of the civilized world,must extend their course of study, they have advanced one step towards its accomplishment. Though to become a candidate for their degree.only two full courses of four months each are required, yet the institution will be kept open for medical instruction for six months in the year. With these views, and to afford the pupils the greatest facilities for acquiring a knowledge of practical anatomy, the basis of a medical education, the dissect- ing rooms are opened on the first of October. Those who may be disposed are thus enabled to spend a month in this important study, before the commencement of the regular lectures. During this time, the Professor of Anatomy is in the con- stant habit of visiting the room and devoting himself to familiar demonstrations and the instruction of his pupils. The season during the month of October is usually favorable to this sort of investigation, and the student, with little to inter- rupt him, in comparison with the incessant engagements after the regular course has begun, may go over an extensive series of dissections. The Professor of Surgery will, as far as practicable, avail himself of every op- portunity of exhibiting his surgical operations. The Professors of the theory and practice of Physic, Materia Medica, Obstetricks and Chemistry will also each, once a week in turn, give a lecture connected with their different depart- ments. This, together with the prescriptions and clinical remarks on the cases at the Dispensatory, will compose a course of medical instruction during the month of October, which although less formal, it is believed,"will be found most valuable as auxiliary to the regular business of the course to all classes of stu- dents. Those who are just beginning their studies, by witnessing dissections and demonstrations and listening to instructions communicated in a familiar manner, will become acquainted with the technicalities of the science, and pre- pared to follow the regular business of the course; while the more advanced pupils may most advantageously occupy their time in dissections and reviewing their studies. For these privileges no additional fee is required from the pupils of Jefferson Medical College.—During the last session above 50 gentlemen availed them- selves of these advantages, then not so much matured as at present, and from he obvious and acknowledged benefit they derived, the Professors would re- ommend to every student who has it in his power, to come to Philadelphia at the beginning of October. This is a new feature in the medical schools of the United States. To extend'still further the term of instruction, the institution will be kept open during the month of March. The weather during this period is generally favorable to anatomical investigation. The Professor of Anatomy will therefore, 9 not only keep open the dissecting rooms and continue his demonstrations and in- structions in Practical Anatomy, but he will give a short course of lectures on those parts of anatomy more particularly connected with the most important surgical operations. Besides his regular lectures, he will meet his class three times a week in the dissecting room for instructing the pupils in performing surgical operations on the dead body. For the spring course of lectures by the Professor of Anatomy, the fee will be ten dollars. Besides the above instructions, the Professors of Surgery, Theory and Prac- tice, Materia Medica and Obstetricks, will in turn prescribe, and give two Clini- cal lectures weekly during the month of March, for which no additional fee will be demanded- VI. DIPLOMA. The Examination for Degrees in Jefferson Medical College, will com- mence on the first of March, and will be continued daily, until all the candi- dates for graduation shall have been examined. The Examinations will be oral, and will be conducted by the Professors assembled in Faculty, each Candidate being examined by each Professor, on the particular department which he teaches. The following are the requirements imposed on the candidates for the Di- ploma: 1st, The candidate must be 21 years of age. 2d, He must have attended, at least, two full Courses of Lectures; one of which must be attended in Jefferson Medical College. If he has attended one Course in this Institution, and produces evidences of having attended all the Lectures required, during one session of four months, in any other respectable Medical School, he will be qualified to enter his name, as a candidate for exami- nation. 3d, The candidate must have studied three years, (inclusive of the terms of attendance on Lectures,) under the direction of a respectable Practitioner of Medicine. 4th, He must write a Thesis, either in the English, Latin, or French language, on some medical subject, to be selected by himself, and sent to the Dean of the Medical Faculty, before he comes forward for examination. The copy sent to the Dean, will remain the property of the College, and be preserved in the Archives of the Institution. 5th, When examined by the Faculty, he must furnish satisfactory evidence of his medical knowledge, and of his being qualified for the Practice of his Pro- fession. VII. DISPENSARY. Impressed with a strong conviction of the importance of exhibiting actual disease to the pupils, and anxious to increase to the utmost the facilities for the practical study of Medical Science, the Professors have established in connec- tion with Jefferson Medical College, a General Dispensary, and a Dispensary for the Diseases of the Eyes. The patients are prescribed for by the Professors* 2 10 detailed histories of their cases are kept; and, under the superintendence of their Teachers, the management of cases are intrusted to those students whose quali- fications entitle them to such confidence. The Professor of Midwifery hopes to be able to procure from this source, an ample supply of Midwifery cases for his pupils. These the students attend at their own dwellings, under direction of the Professor of Midwifery. The privilege of attending the Clinical instruction of the Dispensary is confined to the students of Jeeferson Medical College. They participate on equal terms with the other students attending Lectures in Philadelphia, in all the bene- fits which are to be desired from an attendance on the Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Alms House of the city and county of Philadelphia. VIII. FEES, &c. &c The fee for admission to each course of Lectures is fifteen dollars. The fee for admission to the Dissecting Rooms and Demonstrations is ten dollars. The fee for the diploma is fifteen dollars, and five dollars to the Janitor. The Janitor, in consideration of his fee, provides for each Graduate, a handsome Case for the preservation of his diploma. A fee of five dollars is paid by each student, on his entrance, which entitles him to admission to the Museum, instruction by the curator in the Art of making Anatomical Preparations, and the privilege of attending the Clinical instruction of he Dispensaries. As most erroneous opinions are entertained, by Students residing at a dis- tance, as to the expense which it is necessary to incur by an attendance on Lec- tures in Philadelphia, and as many cases have lately come to the knowledge of the Trustees and Professors, where gentlemen have been deterred from visiting that city, from misapprehension on this subject, they trust they will be excused, under the head of Fees, in promulgating the following facts. The impression entertained by the Western and South Western students that it is more economical for them to study, and to graduate in one of the Western Colleges, rather than in Philadelphia, is a most mistaken one. If a student selects Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, even should he reside in the West, he may graduate in that Institution, his additional expenses incurred in travelling to a greater distance being included, for a sum, which will not exceed what will be required for graduation in the University of Transylvania, in Lexington.* This statement admits of very easy proof. The fees for the Lectures of two Sessions in the University of Transylvania, at Lexington, including the fee paid by the candidate for graduation and Dissec- tions, amount to Two Hundred and Sixty-five Dollars. In Jefferson Medical College, the fees for the two Sessions of Lectures, Grad- uation, and Dissections, are Two Hundred and Thirty Dollars. As the expenses of the former are thirty five dollars more than in the latter, seventeen dollars and fifty cent3 is saved by the student attending Jefferson Medical College •We select for illustration, the University of Transylvania, as it is, we believe, the old- est Medical School in the West. 11 each Session. This sum will be allowed to the students from the West, to meet the additional expense incurred in travelling to Philadelphia, and there are few situations in travelling, from which, it will not be sufficient to do so. The Trustees and Professors trust that their object in making this statement will not be misunderstood. They entertain for the Professors of the Western Institutions individually and collectively the highest respect. They have no de- sire to exaggerate the merits of their own school, or to depreciate those of other Institutions. They are only solicitous that students at a distance should be made acquainted with facts, and that should they be anxious to graduate in the city of Philadelphia, they may not be deterred from doing so, from mistaken notions as to the expense. As it may be interesting to some of the students to be informed of the differ- ent items of expense which must be incurred each Session, in Philadelphia, they are given below. Six courses of Lectures delivered in Jefferson Medical College at $15 each,. ....... $90 Dissecting Ticket, ....... 10 Museum and Dispensary Ticket, ..... 5 Board may be had from two dollars to three and a half. Very few pay more than three dollars and as most excellent Board can be obtained for that price, we calculate the Board at this sum. Eighteen weeks board at 3 dollars per week, . . .54 $159 In addition to this sum of one hundred and fifty-nine dollars, which is ne- cessarily incurred by an attendance on a full course of Lectures in Jefferson Medical College, and a residence of eighteen weeks in Philadelphia. The stu- dent will of course require funds to purchase, books, clothes, &c. &c. The money, however, expended in these items, depending as it does on the student himself, cannot be estimated, nor is it important to do so. As books and clothes are as cheap in Philadelphia, as in any city in the United States, a student by at- tending Lectures there, will not have his expenses on, these heads, rendered greater than they would be, by studying at any other Medical School. All that a student requires to do to enable him to form a comparative estimate of the expense of graduating in Philadelphia or elsewhere is merely to calculate his travelling expenses and to add these to the sum required for the Lectures and board, in the city where the particular school may be situated. The Professors of Jefferson Medical College, are far from thinking that mere economy should influence Medical Students in the selection of their Medi- cal School, or that they should give their Institution a preference to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, from the circumstance that they can save by graduating in it, Eighty-five dollars. The expense of attendance on the Lectures in the Uni- versity for two Sessions, and Graduating being $315, whilst it is only $230 in Jef- ferson Medical College. This they admit constitutes no claim for patronage. The Faculty have had no part in fixing their Fees; it was done by the Legis- lature of the State in the Charter of their Incorporation, and even were they 12 disposed to alter them, they have not the power to do so. It may be remarked however, that it was obviously not from their Diploma being cheaper that it has received a preference; as several of the students who left the University of Pennsylvania, after having attended there one Session and entered for Jef- ferson Medical College were young gentlemen of fortune, with whom money could be no consideration. It is by unceasing exertion, and by sparing no effort to impart the best Medical education the country can command, that they alone hope for the patronage of the Profession, and as they have by their exertions, within the last two years, received this in the most flattering manner, they are fitimulated to persevere, if it were possible, even more zealously, in rendering their instruction more deserving of the confidence of the public.
