This Department presents some peculiar features, as compared with other American Schools of Medicine. The Session extends, 
uninterruptedly, through nine months, enabling the Professors to deliver an unusually complete course of Lectures, without obliging 
the student to attend more than two or three lectures, each day. Another important benefit secured by the protracted term is that 
the various branches are studied in their natural order, and thus such as require a previous acquaintance with other subjects are 
reserved until these have been mastered. A searching oral examination, on the topics previously discussed, precedes each lecture. 
The system thus combines the advantages of teaching by public lectures with those of private tuition.

EXPENSES: 
rl he following is an estimate of the expenses of an academic student for the session of nine months, exclusive of cost of text-books : 
Matriculation and library fee $ 25 00 
Room-rent, if two occupy the same room, each, 15 00 
Contingent deposit, 10 00 
Tuition fee in three schools, the usual number attended, 75 00 
Board, including diet, furniture of room and attendance 180 00 
Deposit for fuel and lights, ...... .... 35 00 
Washing, $1.50 per month—per session, say ....... 15 00 
Infirmary fee, 5 00 
$3OO 00 
This estimate will be slightly modified if the student enter more or fewer schools than indicated. 
Law students pay $BO per session for tuition, and Medical students $110: consequently the estimate for the former is $365, 
and for the latter $395 per session. 
All the foregoing items are payable in advance, except board and washing. One third ($6O) of the board is required on admis- 
sion, and the balance in equal instalments, at three and six months thereafter. Washing is paid for monthly, as the service is ren- 
dered. 
The Contingent deposit is designed to cover contingent charges and assessments. These are generally small. The residue of 
this deposit is refunded to the student in the settlement of his account at the close of the session. 
The Infirmary fee secures, in case of sickness, prescriptions at the University infirmary, and if needed, nursing by professional 
nurses, lodging, board and medical attendance by the physicians of the institution, free of additional charge. 
No abatement is made in the matriculation and tuition fees and room rent, on account of late entrance; and no portion of the 
same is refunded, on account of withdrawal before the close of the session—unless the withdrawal be rendered necesssary by ill health 
and occur before the first of March. The charges for board, fuel and lights and washing are estimated from the time of entrance. 
Privileged Students. Ministers of the Gospel may attend the lectures without the payment of Professors’ fees. So also, 
on certain conditions, may young men preparing for the ministry, if unable to pay. 
Morality and Religion. These are recognized as the foundation, and indispensable concomitants of Education. The disci- 
pline is sedulously administered with a view to confirm integrity, and to maintain a sacred regard to truth. Great efforts are made to 
surround the Student with religious influences, but experience has proved that the best way to effect this result is to forbear the em- 
ployment of coercion to enforce attendance on religious exercises, which is entirely voluntary. Prayers are held every morning, in the 
Chapel, and Divine Service is performed, on Sunday, by a Chaplain selected in tnrn from the principal religious denominations. And 
by means of a Young Men's Christian Association, new comers are shielded as much as possible, from vicious connections, and the 
energies of those willing to engage in the Christian enterprises of the neighborhood are called into active exercise.
