ANNUAL CIRCULAR
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND.
BAIiTIMORE, 1838.
iialtCmore:
PRINTED BY SAMUEL SANDS N- W corner of Baltimore & North-sts.
1838.
CIRCULAR
The Session of the Medical Department of this Insti- tution will commence on the last Monday of October next, and continue until the last day of February.
THE FACULTY OF PHYSIC, are:
H. WILLIS BAXLEY, M. D.
Professor of Anatomy and Physiology.
HENRY HOWARD, M. D.
Professor of Obstetrics and of the Diseases of Women and Children.
MICHAEL A. FINLEY, M. D.
Professor of Pathology and of the Practice of Medicine, ROBERT E. DORSEY, M. D.
Professor of Materia Mcdica, Therapeutics, Hygiene, and Medical Jurisprudence.
WILLIAM R. FISHER, M. D.
Professor of Chemistry and Pharmacy.
JOHN FREDERICK MAY, M. D.
Professor of the Principles and Practice of Surgery.
In making this annual announcement, the Trustees state that, in addition to a Medical Faculty of great ability, having high claims to public confidence and patronage, the University of Maryland offers other and peculiar advan- tages to students for the acquisition of medical knowledge. Placed in the most favorable climate for dissection, pos- sessing commodious rooms for that purpose, the Universi- ty of Maryland commands an unequalled supply of Ma- teriel for the prosecution of the study of Practical Anato- my. Such, indeed, is the abundance of Subjects, that the Professor of Surgery will afford to the Students an op- portunity of performing themselves, under his direction, every surgical operation.
In teaching Practical Obstetrics, the deceptive manikin in common use in our medical schools is discarded, and the improved phantome, with the elastic foetal head of the ingenious Hebermelh, is adopted. After performing the manual and instrumental operations, and explaining their mechanism to the class, the Professor affords each student the opportunity to repeat every operation under his in- spection and instruction.
The great practical advantages thus afforded to the student by the Professors of Surgery and Obstetrics — hitherto not provided at any of our medical schools — will qualify the graduate to compete successful, in these branches, wdth practitioners of considerable experience.
This University has an Anatomical Museum, founded on the extensive collection of the celebrated Allen Burns, which became its property by purchase, at great expense ;
and to this collection numerous additions have been annu- ally made ; and of late, many very valuable preparations have been procured from France and Italy ; which, to- gether, aftbrd ample means for a great variety of illustra- tions of healthy and diseased structure.
The Baltimore Infirmary, long and favorably known as an excellent school of practice, forms a part of the Medical Department, and furnishes every class of disease for the practical elucidation of the principles taught by the Professors of the Practice of Medicine and of Surgery ; who, besides their regular lectures, impart Clinical instruction at the Infirmary at stated periods, in each week, during the session.
The Chemical and Philosophical apparatus of this University is of great extent and value, much of it having been selected in Europe by the late distinguished Pro- fessor Debutts. And to a Laboratory, provided with everything necessary for a course of Chemical Instruction, are united the numerous and varied articles required to illustrate the lectures on Pharmacy and Materia Medica. Neither expense nor care has been spared to secure for the University of Maryland, the facilities necessary for the acquisition of a thorough Medical Education.
On Saturday of every week, each Professor devotes one hour to the examination of his class, on all the lec- tures of the week — which, by familiarizing the student with examinations — correcting errors he may have imbib- ed— and directing his attention to important points that must be explained by him when he presents himself for
graduation — is found, by the experience of the last ses- sion, to prepare the student to answer with remarkable composure, promptness and intelligence, on his final ex- amination.

CIRCULAR
REGENTS' MEDICAL FACULTY
OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND.
The Faculty of Physic in the University of Maryland {under the Board of Regents) on the present occasion address themselves to the early friends and alumni of this institution, with peculiar claims to their patronage and support.
The public need scarcely be told that the Medical School of the University of Maryland owes its origin to the private enterprise and industry of its professors. By their toil, their talent, and the liberal appropriation of their pecuniary means it was fostered and maintained, until it became an honour to its projectors, the pride of the State, and abundantly useful to the public. More than three hundred pupils annually fre- quented its halls, and it vied with the most flourishing institutions of our country. Thus far the Medical Faculty governed the school, and although differences of opinion necessarily arose yet nothing occurred to mar its prosperity.
At length a disaffected minority of the Faculty displeased with an act of that body, in an evil hour applied to the legis- lature of Maryland to modify the government of the school. Although the charter previously granted was perpetual and immutable, yet the legislature not properly considering the unconstitutionality of the act, granted* the petition, and wrest- ing the government from the hands of those who had brought the school into existence, placed it wholly in the hands of a Board of Trustees, not even leaving to the professors the power of controlling their own pupils. They were no longer allowed
the slightest influence in filling vacant chairs, or in those arrangements which can only be properly made by those who are most deeply interested in the success of such an institu- tion, and who are rendered competent by the experience which the duties of a professor can alone give.
For a time the Faculty were constrained to acquiesce, flattering themselves that the evils dreaded might never arise. The Faculty can never forget that in the Board of Trustees thus appointed, were many members incapable of being influ- enced by any other motive than a regard to the interests of the institution which they governed ; but in so numerous a body it was to be expected that some should be embraced to whom power would be desirable, and who would be tempted to use the patronage which they enjoyed for the accomplishment of their private ends.
From this time even the advice of the Faculty ceased to be sought or regarded, and, in spite of their repeated remonstran- ces, a series of measures were adopted which at once thwarted the zealous endeavours of the Faculty in advancing the institution. They had perpetually before them the discou- raging appre"hension, that toil as they might, the fruits of their labours were liable at any moment to be completely blasted by a single unadvised act of the Trustees. These apprehen- sions were abundantly realized by the adoption of measures (without even the privity of the Faculty) which alienated the patrons of the institution.
The opposition of the Faculty to the measures of the Board excited ill feeling, and a hostile attitude was assumed. Among other offensive acts, the Trustees passed a resolution, that any professor who should speak disrespectfully of the Trustees should be expelled from his chair. The Faculty have abun- dant reason to believe that numbers of that body openly declared their determination to persecute the professors out of their chairs.
The institution of course declined ; its pupils repaired to other schools ; the eminent professor of the materia medica withdrew ; and soon after the no less distinguished Professor of Anatomy retired in open disgust. At length the Faculty, after an ineffectual appeal to the Legislature, and after there had been made by the Board an appointment against which
^rery professor in vain remonstrated, unanimously rosigned the places which had been conferred by the Trustees.
The chairs in which the professors recently laboured are now occupied by strangers, having in vain been offered to almost every prominent medical man in Baltimore, and to many in other places ; but it remains to be seen whether the Trustees can bestow upon them the reputation and public patronage for which some of the late incumbents have expend- ed the best part of their lives, and no small portion of their fortunes.
But in relinquishing place under the Trustees, the Faculty have not abandoned their rights. Under the original charter which no Legislature had power to rescind, they are still the Professors of the University of Maryland, and the government of the Trustees is a usurpation. This declaration is sus- tained by the ablest legal counsel in the land, and will be maintained before the proper tribunal.
The annual course by the Faculty of Physic will therefore be given as usual, and certainly they never entered upon their duties with more powerful incentives to exertion. Neither labour nor expense will be spared in rendering their course complete and satisfactory. Convenient apartments for the course will be procured. Arrangements have been made by which clinical instruction will be given as heretofore.
Under the sanction of the Regents of the University of Maryland, acting by virtue of their perpetual Charter of 1812, sustained by the opinion of eminent counsel, the Faculty of Physic will commence their Lectures for the Term of 1S3T-8, on the last Monday of October next.

Gentleme;n : — In pursuance of a resolution of the Regents of the University of Maryland, at a meeting on the 18th instant, we have requested the opinion of counsel upon your inquiry :
Whether you may, as the Legitimate Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland, Lecture as Professors in that Faculty, and confer degrees in Medicine ?
We have obtained the opinion of the counsel selected by us : Messrs. Martin, Mayer, and Evans, and now enclose it. We beg leave to add that we entirely concur in that opinion ; being decidedly of the belief, that the acts of 1807, chap. 53, and 1812, chap. 159, are in force, unaffected by the act of 1825, chap. 190, appointing Trus- tees, &c.

We regard you as by due succession, the Faculty of Physic recog- nized by those acts of Assembly : We consider the Act of 1825, chap. 190, a NULLITY, as it aims to divest chartered rights : and we there- fore are of opinion, that the Acts of 1807 and 1812 are in full force, and constitute your ample and effectual sanction for delivering lectures and conferring degrees in Medicine.

OPINION OF COUNSEL— Given May 2Ist, 1826.
In the year 1807, the Legislature of IMaryland, on the application of a number of physicians in the city of Baltimore, passed an act for founding a medical college in the said city, or its precincts, for the instruction of students in the different branches of medicine, and con- stituted it a body politic, by the name of the 'Regents of the College of Medicine of Maryland.' The corporation was vested with powers to take and receive real and personal property by purchase, devise,
gift, &c. so that the annual value t] id not exceed thirty thousand dol- lars, exclusively of the lots and buildings that might be occupied by the college.
Some short time after the corporation was organized, measures were taken to purchase a lot of ground in the vicinity of Baltimore, on which to erect the necessary buildings and improvements for the accommodation of the college, and the accomplishment of tlie objects of the institution. As the corporation itself possessed no funds, there being no endowment by the legislature of Maryland, nor any dona- tions by private benefactors, several of the Regents of the college, on their personal responsibility, contracted with Colonel Howard for the purchase of the ground on which the buildings were afterwards erect- ed, and proceeded to improve the property by means of loans princi- pally obtained on their individual credit. In the year ISl'i, a memo- rial was presented to the legislature of Maryland by the President and Professors of the said College of Medicine of Maryland, praying for an enlargement of the Medical College by annexing to it three other faculties, to wit : of divinity, of law, and of the arts and sciences ; and a law was accordingly passed, authorizing the annexation of the above faculties, and when so united, constituting them an university, by the title of the 'University of Maryland,' and to have a corporate existence by the name and style of the 'University of Maryland,' and to have a corporate existence by the name and style of 'The Regents of the University of Maryland.' The Regents were empowered to appoint a provost, and each of these faculties to choose its own professors and lecturers. After the passage of this last mentioned act, the Regents of the TTnivprsity, finding that the resources* of the corporation were inadequate to the completion of the buildings v;hich had been thus commenced by the College of Medicine, applied to the legislature for the permission to raise money for that purpose by means of lotteries, ■which was accordingly granted to them ; but these lotteries, from the intervention of the late war, and other causes, not j)roving so produc- tiue as was anticipated, the regents were compelled to have recourse to other means to raise the requisite funds. Several members of the faculty of medicine procured the loan of a considerable sum of money from one of the banks of Baltimore, on their individual credit, and became liable to mechanics and others to a large amount for work and materials furnished in completing the buildings and improvements. Notwithstanding this partial relief, the debts of the corporation were found to be still large, and increasing, and it became necessary to seek some more eftectual aid in liquidating them. This was generously afforded by the legislature at December session. IS-il, in consequence of an application to them on behalf of tiie University, They enacted a law authorizing a stock to be constituted to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, bearing an interest ol" live per cent, redeemable at the expiration of thirty years, the state ouaranteeing the repayment of the principal, and the punctual discharge of the interest in the mean time. The state, however, required that the interest on the loan should be paid by the Medical professors of the University, and that the Treasurer of the State should take a bond to be annually given by
the said professors, conditioned lor the payment of the yearly interest. And one of which bonds is now held by the Treasurer for the pay- ment of the interest accruing the present year.
By an act passed at the last session of the legislature of Maryland, entitled, 'An act supplementary to an act for founding an University,' &tc. several important and fundamental alterations have been made in the original act, which change the entire government and discipline of the University, and that too, without the approbation or assent of the University itself. By one of its provisions, the board of Regents, and the members of its several faculties, are discontinued and abolish- ed. By another provision of the same act, certain gentlemen therein named are appointed trustees, and are vested with all the powers and privileges, and subject to tlie duties (not abolished by the said act) which are imposed upon the Regents of the University. The said trus- tees are further authorized to appoint and dismiss the provost, profes- sors, and lecturers, at pleasure ; and in case of a vacancy in any one of the professorships of either of the branches^ the remaining professors of that faculty have the privilege of nominating two persons to fill such vacancy, but the trustees are not bound to accept either of the persons so nominated.
All the rights of property now possessed by the Regents, are de- clared to be vested in, and belong to, the said trustees ; but the medi- cal professors are to remain answerable for the payment of the inte- rest on the loan of $30,000 as required by the above mentioned act of 1821.
After a careful and deliberate consideration of the preceding state- ment, we have no hesitation in giving it as our decided opinion, that the late act of assembly, transferring the whole power and authority granted by the original acts of incorporation to the Regents of the University, and the property which has since been acquired by them, to the trustees named in the late act, is a manifest violation of the rights created by the said original acts, and a direct infringement of that article of the Constitution of the United States which forbids any state from passing a law impairing the obligation of contracts.
William Wirt, John Purviance.
I concur, entirely, in opinion with the Attorney General and Mr. Purviance. The Regents of tiie University were authorized, by the grant of the legislature, to exercise certain privileges, and acquire and hold property. An act, intended to abolish those privileges, without forfeiture, and to transi'er that j)roperty to others, strikes me as being plainly repugnant to the grant itself, and therefore void, by the Consti- tution of the United Slates.

|CF*The following Circular was addressed to the public by the Regents' Faculty of the University of Maryland, at the commencement of their Lectures this winter. It is hoped that each member of the Senate and House of Delegates will give it an attentive perusal. The matter it contains is at this time of important interest, as it bears upon the propriety of repealing the act of 1825, which took the government f

Baltimore, May 22, 1826. To his Excellency the Governor of Maryland, and the gentlemen named as Trustees of the University of Maryland, in the law passed at the last Session of the General Assembly.
Gentlemen: — At a meeting of the Regents of the University of Ma- ryland, held on the 17th of March last, the following resolutions were adopted :
1st. Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed by ballot, to ob- tain the opinion of counsel as to the constitutionality of a law, passed at the late session of the Legislature of Maryland, entitled, ''^an Act supple- mentary to an act entitled, an Act for founding an University in the City or precincts of Baltimore, by the name of the University of Maryland."
2d. Resolved, If counsel decide that said law is unconstitutional, the said committee of five be requested to prepare a respectful address to the Governor of the State of Maryland, and to the Trustees appointed for the government of the University by said law of the Legislature, informing them of the opinion thus obtained from counsel, and requesting them to defer acting until said law can be reconsidered by the Legislature. Should the Trustees, however, determine to act, this committee is empowered to adopt such legal measures as it may deem necessary to resist the opera- tions of said law.
The undersigned having been regularly appointed a committee to carry the above resolutions into effect, have obtained the following
OPINION OF COUNSEL.
In the year 1807, the Legislature of Maryland, on ihe application of a taumber of Physicians in the City of Baltimore, passed an act for founding a Medical College in the said City, or its precincts, for the instruction of students in the diflferent branches of Medicine, and constituted it a body politic, by the name of the "Regents of the College of Medicine of Mary- land." The corporation was vested with powers to take and receive real and personal property by purchase, devise, gift, &c. so that the annual value did not exceed thirty thousand dollars, exclusively of the lots and buildings that might be occupied by the College.
Some short time after the corporation was organized, measures were taken to purchase a lot of ground in the vicinity of Baltimore, on which to erect the necessary buildings and improvements for the accommodation of the College, and the accomplishment of the objects of the institution. As the corporation itself possessed no funds, there being no endowment by the Legislature of Maryland, nor any donations by private benefactors, several of the Regents of the College, on their personal responsibility, contracted with Colonel Howard, for the purchase of the ground, on which the buildings were afterwards erected, and proceeded to improve the property by means of loans principally obtained on their individual credit. In the year 1812, a memorial was presented to the Legislature of Mary- land, by the President and Professors of the said College of Medicine of Maryland, praying for an enlargement of the Medical College by annex- ing to it three other faculties, to wit : of Divinity, of Law, and of the Arts and Sciences; and a law was accordingly passed, authorizing the annexation of the above faculties, and when so united, constituting them an University, by the title of the "University of Maryland," and to have a corporate existence by the name and style of "The Regents of the University of Maryland." The Regents were empowered to appoint a Provost, and each of the faculties to choose its own Professors and Lec- turers. After the passage of this last mentioned act, the Regents of the University, finding that the resources of the corporation were inadequate to the completion of the buildings which had been thus commenced by the College of Medicine, applied to the Legislature for permission to raise money for that purpose by means of lotteries, which was accordingly granted to them ; but these lotteries, from the intervention of the late war and other causes, not proving so productive as was anticipated, the Re- gents were compelled to have recourse to other means to raise the requi- site funds. Several members of the faculty of Medicine, procured the loan of a considerable sum of money from one of the banks of Baltimore, on their individual credit, and became liable to mechanics and others to a large amount for work and materials furnished in completing the build- ings and improvements. Notwithstanding this partial relief, the debts of the corporation were found to be still large, and increasing, and it became necessary to seek some more effectual aid in liquidating them. This was generously afforded by the Legislature, at December session, 1821,
in consequence of an application to them on behalf of the University. They enacted a law, authorizing a stock to be constituted to the amount of thirty thousand dollars, bearing an interest of five per cent, redeemable at the expiration of thirty years, the State guaranteeing the re-payment of the principal, and the punctual discharge of the interest in the meantime. The State, however, required that the interest on the loan should be paid by the Medical professors of the University, and that the treasurer of the State should take a bond to be annually given by the said professors, con- ditioned for the payment of the yearly interest. And one of which bonds is now held by the treasurer for the payment of the interest accruing the present year.
By an act passed at the last session of the Legislature of Maryland, entitled, "An Act, supplementary to an act for founding an University," &c. several important and fundamental alterations have been made in the original act, which change the entire government and discipline of the University, and that too, without the approbation or assent of the Univer- sity itself. By one of its provisions, the Board of Regents, and the mem- of its several faculties, are discontinued and abolished. By another pro- vision of the same act, certain gentlemen therein named, are appointed trustees, and are vested with all the powers and privileges, and subject to the duties (not abolished by the said act,) which are imposed upon the Regents of the University. The said Trustees are further authorized to appoint and dismiss the Provost, Professors, and Lecturers at pleasure ; and in case of a vacancy in any one of the Professorships of either of the branches, the remaining Professors of that faculty have the privilege of nominating two persons to fill such vacancy, but the Trustees are not bound to accept either of the persons so nominated.
All the rights of property now possessed by the Regents, are declared to be vested in, and belong to, the said Trustees ; but the Medical profes- sors are to remain answerable for the payment of the interest on the loan of $30,000, as required by the above mentioned act of 1821.
After a careful and deliberate consideration of the preceding statement, we have no hesitation in giving it as our decided opinion, that the late act of Assembly, transferring the whole power and authority granted by the original acts of incorporation to the Regents of the University, and the property which has since been acquired by them, to the Trustees named in the late act, is a manifest violation of the rights created by the said ori- ginal acts, and a direct infringement of that article of the constitution of the United States, which forbids any State from passing a law, impairing the obligation of contracts.
William Wirt, John Purviance.
I concur, entirely, in opinion with the Attorney- General and Mr. Pur- viance. The Regents of the University were authorized, by the grant of the Legislature, to exercise certain privileges, and to acquire and hold pro- perty. An act, intended to abolish those privileges, without forfeiture, and to transfer that property to others, strikes me as being plainly repug- nant to the grant itself, and, therefore, void, by the Constitution of the United States. Daniel Webster.

Such being the decided opinion of counsel upon the legislative act referred to, it becomes our duty in pursuance of the resolutions of the Regents of the University, to request a suspension on your part of such measures as might otherwise be taken to carry the said act into operation, until the next meeting of the Legislature, when an application will be made for its repeal.
Should it be deemed inexpedient, however, to comply with this request, we are prepared, in behalf of the Regents, to enter into such arrange- ments with you as will produce the speediest judicial decision upon the constitutionality of the law, by the proper tribunal ; and for this purpose we beg leave to say, that any communication addressed to the Right Reverend Bishop Kemp, as Chairman of the Committee of Regents, will receive their immediate attention.
We are, gentlemen, with great respect, your obedient servants,

REPORT.
OF THE
JOINT COMMITTEE
ON THE
MEMORIAL OF THE REGENTS
OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND.
ANNAPOLIS:
WILLIAM m'nEIR, PRINTER. 1839
REPORT
The undersigned a majority of the joint committee of the Senate and House of Delegates, to whom was referred the memorial of the Re- gents of the University of Maryland, beg leave to report:
The memorialists claim as lawful Governois of the University of Ma- ryland, the surrender to them by the State or her agents of the proper- ty of that institution. For the proof of this claim they refer to their charter by which the University was created (act of 1812 ch. 153) and to the recent decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of the me- morialists against Joseph B. Williams Treasurer of the 'Trustees of the Univerisity of Maryland:' relying on that decison as establishing that the act of 1825 ch. 190, wdiich dispossessed them, and substituted in the controul of the institution the 'Trustees' as a nullity. This act of 1825 proceeded on the idea that the University w^as a public institu- tion, subject to the discietional government of the State, and virtually the States own property as to franchise and estate. Hence the trustees constituted by that act, and now holdingunder that authoritythe proper- ty of the institution are treated by the memorialists as introduced into their controul as agents of the State, and the State is regarded conse- quently as now through these individuals the effective occupant of the property; and the action of the State therefore as the superior of these trustees is claimed, to authorise and direct them to deliver the property to the Regents. The States explicit abandonment of her pretensions is solicited by the memorialists, as the proper act of respectful conform- ity to the judicial decision, and as the necessary procedure to rectify the error which led the State to invade private rights, and a redress w^hich she ought promptly to render. In these views the undersigned earn estly concur. The State is the real litigant with the memorialists. She originally supplanted them in error,but her true limits of power being now defined and elucidated, she cannot continue her assumed autho- rity without wrong, nor mdeed with due regard to her moral dignity. In yielding as now^ requested, she is not asked to perfotm any judicial function nor to legislate for a special case. She is appealed to in her sovereign capacity to act upon her pretensions as any individual is, w^ho is called on to retract his errors, and seeing that he has possessed him-
4 ; 1
self of anothers property in error, to restore it to him from whom he iias thus taken it. The decision referred to unequivocally shews the invalidity of the States pretensions, the restoration therefore of the su- perseded authorities of the Institutton is the necessary consequence, and the clearest dictate of honor, which bears no parley nor compro- mise in the opinion of the undersigned. It becomes no sovereignty to linger in unlawful positions^ nor to harrass the citizens with dilatory .expedients and partial and reluctant redress, aggrieved by its erroneous assumptions. The course of duty being thus suggested to the State by the first and best maxiim of morals in the present issue with the Re- gents of the University of Maryland, we propose, with studied brevity, to make some explanations which may be demanded for the satisfac- tion of those who, altho' embarking in their considerations with pro- found respect for the law, and with the general principles as here de- clared, to govern them, many wish to have all details elucidated, and doubts and difficulties which may have been suggested by extraneous circumstances or highly colored representations removed.
The act of 1807, ch. 53, established a College of Medicine, and placed it under government of the Faculty of Physic, the constituents of the College and of the Board of Examiners of the Jliedical and Chi- rurgical Faculty of Maryland. These Governors were created a body corporate by the name of 'The Regents of the College of JVfedicine of Maryland.' The College of medicine is contemplated by the act as a body distinctly to be recognised, ^nd as the substantial portion of the crea- tion under the act, although enjoying corporate immunities and conve- niences only in its combination with the Board of Examiners. This College of Medicine is by the decision of the Court of Appeals, set- tled to be the same with the Faculty of Physic; and the terms ^College' and 'Faculty, in the act of 1807 referred to, are adjudged to be conver- tible terms, (see decision page 13.)
The 'College of Medicine' was by the act, creating the University (1812, ch. 159,) expanded into an University by being authorised to annex to itself the three Faculties of Divinity, Law, and Arts and Sciences. The members of the College of Medicine of the Faculty of Physic, together with the members of the other three Faculties, were by the act for the University constituted a corporation by the style of 'The Regents of the University ot JVfaryland.' The corporation of the University was duly organised under this act, and was prosperously ad- ministered by its legal and chosen government, the Regents, until the year 1826. Then was passed the obnoxious and now as the under- signed believe repudiated and eutirely annulled act of 1825, ch. 190, by which a government as the substitute of the Regents was instituted, and in act directly from the State, and called 'Trustees of the Univer- sity of ./liaryland,' and for the pui'pose of more easy and effectual ac- tion and completely to fill the place of the surperseded Regents were
nade a corporate body.' In other worJ,> the theory of the act of 1825 -vas that the University was a public corporation, to be regulated, mould- d, or even extinguished at the pleasure of the State, and its property 0 be controlled and applied as to the State might seem expedient. — This theory is upon several grounds established to be unsound by the iecision referred to, and the act is declared to be absolutely invalid, be- yond the reach of remedy, even from the sanction of the opinions, or from any long aad marked acquiescence, if such ever existed, of the individual members of the Faculty of Physic, or of every other Faculty in the University. Every possible circumstance of such suppletory character in aid of the act, would seem to have been brought to bear in the testimony in the cause and deliberately w'eighed by the court, and rejected as unavailing, to implicate fatally the Regent corporation, and on its extinction to raise up the Trustees corporation.
The scientific and faithful conduct of the University, may much re- dound to the public good; and imperfect instruction and careless disci- pline may bring unworthy members into 'the medical ranks. But eveti if experience had demonstrated that the most harmonious administra- tion, and the most exact erudition and luminous intelligence, are with peculiar success to be ensured through the State's control, it w^ould not follow that this Institution, and if this, every other medical or scientific Institution, must be absorbed into the State prerogative. The adjudi- cation, w^hich is here the ride of our judgment^ gives us other, and we must say safer precepts, and less hazardous tests of State supremacy in this department. The proper remedy for the State in any disappoint- ment of her pretentions under these doctrines, is, that she herself cieate a University, and build it up from her own immediate treasure, and rely in no measure upon individual sacrifice, and in no degree avail herself of individual resources and anxieties. But the public concern is, in all such Institutions as the University of Maryland, well guarded, for its permanent devotion to science, and the culture of all its exalted sub- jects are enhanced upon the very best impulses — the purely intellectual ambition, which is the basis of every such Institution, when the fruit of private effort; and although this Institution be a private corporation, and as regards the State^ may indifferently to her, have all the incidents of independent proprietary control of any other private corporation; yet here again the cause of science and the public benefit — as contradistin- guished from the State prerogative — is protected by the necessary, or- ganic condition of the corporate power, wdiich would not permit the property of the corporation to be diverted from its original purpose — the instruction for which the Institution was founded, and for which all its property has been acquired. But whatever restraints the chancery power might interpose to hold such an Institution to its original dedica- tion,still the fetatehasno inherent right «s State, io warrant its seizingall such publicly useful Institutions, as State property. Thus substantia- ted as inviolable private property, let us next enquire to what this corpo- ration, thus recalled to its ancient franchise, seeks to be restored.
6 r ''""_ •• "- ^
This Institution bad its foundation laid in private enterprise. In 1807, when the College of Medicine was established, a few zealous and scientific individuals conceived the plan of a school of medical instruc- tion. After maturing their views, and for some time, but with limited resources and appliances, although with ardent aim, practically carry- ing them out, they sought the consideration of the State; and obtained the act of incorporation of their College, and at the same session an act was passed giving to the College of Medicine, the privilege of drawing a Lottery, for raising forty thousand doHais. The medical professors composing this College of Medicine, did not, it appears, avail themselves of this lottery privilege, and nothing in fact was de- rived from it until after the College of xMedicine had passed into the enlarged body of the University of Maryland. It was not until the Professors of Medicine and the Professor of Law, had embarked their individual means and responsibility to purchase grounds, erect build- ings, procure the requisite apparatus, and in all respects to place the Institution upon the most ample and commodious plan of operatiouj that any resources were supplied from the lottery referred to. (See Report of committee of House of Delegates, session 1825, Journal page 309.) The several acts relating to the lottery privilege of 1807, are 1807, ch. Ill; 1808, ch. 96; 1811, ch. 132. After the Universi- ty was in operation, a further lottery privilege was granted, to raise $30,000, by act of 1813, ch. 125; and this sum was increased to $100,000, by act of 1816, ch, 78. In reference to this latter privilege several acts were passed, as the act of 1819, ch. 105, which in lieu of a tax of 5 per cent, requires the University to pay for each scheme drawn, $1800 to the State— the act of 1820, ch. 121, which modifies these dues to the State, and limits the drawings to ten schemes; which restriction, however, was repealed by the act of 1826, ch. 261. The lottery system organised as a revenue scheme by the State, being found to be somewhat interfered with by the exercise of the University lottery privileges, the legislature determined, without divesting the University of her right to the avails of the privilege, to put an end to her right to draw any more lottery schemes. Accordingly the act of 1827, ch. 198, recogni^^ing the unexhausted lottery rights of the University, provides th,at the balance of the privilege remaining to be realized, and then amounting to $40,946, should be paid to the University from the Trea- sury, by annual instalments of $5000, instead of being by successive drawings, raised by the lottery avails. This amount has accordingly been paid, as the equivalent of the University privileges; and the State has meanwhile been exempted from the competition of the University lotteries, and has enjoyed them herself. It will be perceived that all these lottery privileges date antecedently to the Trustee act of 1825, ch. 190; and the act of 1827, ch. 198, is but an arrangement of commuta- tion of those lottery privileges. On all drawings the State was duly paid a tax, and so far she profited by them, But the 4pcision referred
Ojdoes in no sense regard these lottery grants as endowments from the State; they in fact costing the State nothing;, and being really only dis- pensations from penalties^, under the prohibitory lottery law. If even, lowever, they were endowments, the decision tells us, as reason would suggest, that they would not render this corporation a State property.* In 1822 (by act of 1821, chap. 88,) the State was induced to lend he University $30,000, in stocks created for the purpose; the premium )f which, it was provided, should be received by the State instead of )y the University, and be set apart for a sinking fund ultimately to pay he principal of the loan; the Professors of the Faculty of Physic be- ng, however, required to enter into bond for the yearly payment of 5 Der cent interest of the $30,000. This interest until a year before the recent rupture in the University, which led to the litigation adverted Lo, was duly paid, as we understand. In the year 1828, a legacy of |500, was bequeathed by Mr. George Gray to "the University of Ma- yland for the use of the Infirmary," and that sum was paid accordingly Dy Mr, Gray's Executors. Donations in books and specimens of va- 'ious kinds, and articles to enrich the cabinets of the University, it is anderstood, were likewise made at different times to the University. The personal means and responsibility of the Professors of medicine ind of law, and these interests here detailed, have constituted the sources Df all the supplies for enabhng the University to furnish itself with its buildings, including, an Infirmary, and all appropriate apparatus.! In 1826, its property then amassed was estimated at nearly $100,000. — Etmaybe mentioned that several of the acts specified by us, recognize the expenditures of the Professors; and we have therefore almost a Le- gislative history of their individual merits in founding and erecting this Institution, and a Legislative testimonial to the private character of the Institution, as illustrated by its origin, and the individual energies and hazards by which it was matured. The Report of the Committee, al- ready mentioned, at the session of 1825, recognizes these private ef- forts. The acts in connexion with this point are 1825, ch. 188 — 1827, ch. 198—1831, ch. 270. In 1831 the Legislature (by act of 1830, ch, 50,) authorised the property and government of "Baltimore Col- lege" to be passed to the University of Maryland, so as to enable this Institution to constitute an academical department under the auspices, and as part of the Faculty of the arts and sciences of the University of Maryland. The Baltimore College cession is declared by the act to be for the use of the Faculty of arts and sciences; and although as the ac- tual representatives, at the time, of the University, the Trustees are by the act made grantees in the deed of cession, yet the use and benefit of the cession is for the University; and the legitimate governors of it, as now declared, must of course succeed to the legal title. As, how- ever, this property has accrued since the date of the Trustee act, the

Regents are content to have it excepted from any immediate surrende now asked for, and by a speedy chancery process to be provided, to be allowed to have all question as to this appendage of the University, ad-1 judged between them and the State, or the Trustees, if they as an an auUed body, can be esteemed the appropriate litigants of any such is sue. The Legislature, for this inquiry, may allow them as individual to be made defendants to the judicial investigation.
It is manifest that all the possessions of the University, derived fro these as the only sources which have been pomted out by either th Regents, or the representatives of the Trustees before the Committee are the fruits of rights in the Regents antecedently to the act of 1825 ch. 190, excepting only Baltimore College, which is the property o: the University, by the terms of the grant, and is, we may add, the mor conclusively to be so regarded, because the debts of the Baltimore Col lege, we understand, were, after the cession paid, to an amount of mori than $7,000, om\ oi iYie funds of the University, The State is not, foi the purposes of this appeal to her justice, concerned to inquire whethei the avails of the Medical College Lottery of 1807, should have been enjoyed by the University, although granted for the benefit of that Col- lege, which was the central member of the University, and although the Lottery was drawn after the University act, and under sanction of th< State, and when the old corporation of the "Regents of the College Medicine,'' losing iis practical and substantial part ^ ceased to have, t never sirce has had,moie than an ideal existence. At the utmost^ ii that lapsed corporation, as it must be regarded, should be ever embo4 died, the avails of the Lottery alluded to, could only be an item o/'mer^ deht as between the University and the primitive corporation.
We have thus endeavored to show that the State has, since the yeal 1826 been, (however innocent the motive originally,) an intruder oi the domain of these memorialists — on their franchise and estate no judicially shielded, and entrenched in the highest constitutional sane . tions. And we have shown that no comprehensive terms of surrende addressed to the Trustees as the agents of the State, will carry to th possession of the Regents any property beyond their demonstraWi right.
A claim is made for restitution to a violated possession; and it is i j^erative. It is not a matter of grace — not a point of expediency — nol a question whether the State may be passive. It is a claim on h justice, to which she cannot honorably render a deferred, nor a temp rizing response — and upon which, true to her dignity, she must ' prompt and active in her reparation.
To accomplish these just ends, the undersigned recommend the p sage of the accompanying bill.

The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland, beg leave to announce to their friends and the public, that they have been restored to their ancient rights and franchises, by the highest courts of the state and by its Legislature; and that they are now in the full and undisputed possession of all the buildings and property which they formerly occupied.
The Professors of Practice of Medicine and Surgery enjoy ample means of practical illustration of their rcspec-
five courses in the Baltimore Infirmary, a commodious Institution, where every variety of disease in both depart- ments may be studied at the bedside.
The Chemical apparatus is the most extensive and splendid in the Union. Additions have recently been made to it, and important alterations effected, for the purpose of giving to the class the most striking and brilliant illustrations of this branch of the science.
The Professor of Anatomy will embrace in his course General and Special Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology. The Anatomical Department is provided with spacious rooms for dissection. The supply of materiels for anatomical pur- poses, is perhaps greater in Baltimore, than in any other city. An able and efficient Demonstrator will be in constant attendance. This Department, also offers to the student of Pathological Anatomy, a large and valuable museum, found- ed upon the cabinet of the late Allen Burns, which was pur- chased at the cost of ^8000, to which numerous additions liave been made, especially, beautiful preparations of the Lymphatic system, superficial and profound, procured from
Italy. The museum contains magnified displays of the eye and ear, in wax, which will greatly facilitate the study of the minuter parts of those delicate organs.
The Professors of Obstetrics and Materia Medica, are fully provided with all the best means of illustrating their respective branches.
In conclusion, the Medical Faculty beg leave to assure the public that every eifort on their part will be made to restore the University of Maryland to its former use- fulness and fame. They only desire to sustain a fair and honorable competition with other schools.
The course of Instruction will commence on the last Monday in October, and terminate on the first day of March.

The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland, grateful for the deep and wide spread interest manifested by the public towards their Institution, be^ leave to assure their friends that they are prepared to commence the ensu- ing Session of the Medical School with still increased means of usefulness. The vacancy in the Department of Surgery has been lately filled by the appointment of Prof. N. R. Smith as Lecturer, who will give a full and com- plete course on Surgery previous to his departure for
Lexington, In extending their term of Lectures to six monthsj the Faculty have been governed by a desire to increase the opportunities of their Students in acquiring a knowledge of their Profession — while for the few who cannot conveniently spend six months in the city, they will consider an attendance during the last four months as equivalent to a full course. The Departments of Materia Medica and Obstetrics are abundantly provided with every convenience for illustrating those subjects. The Professor of Anatomy will include in his duties general and special Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology, and after the de- parture of Dr. Smith, will give an additional course of Lectures on Surgery. The Professors of the Theory and Practice of Medicine and of Surgery, will give daily Clinical instruction in the Baltimore Infirmary, where every variety of disease may be found in turn, and where the Students by the bed-side may watch the daily progress of every interesting case. The extensive and costly Anatomical
Museum of the University, founded by the late Allen Burns, has been, during the last season, greatly enlarged by the addition of numerous valuable morbid preparations; and it will be rendered still more efficient by the arrival of a complete set of the celebrated Pathological Models by Thibert, ordered from Paris by Dr. Smith. They will be the only set in the country on this side of the mountains and will represent every form of diseased structure much more accurately than can be done by any mode of prepara- tion, and are intended to render the Lectures on Surgery vastly more instructive than they could be made otherwise. The Dissecting rooms in the main College building are spacious and well ventilated, the supply of subjects abund- ant, and the advantages offered for the study of Anatomy unequalled. The Chemical Apparatus, unsurpassed in splendor and extent by any in the country, has been mate- rially increased and improved by various additions, to render the experimental illustrations of the Science more
brilliant and more striking. A very extensive set of* Che- mical symbols have lately been obtained, which simplify the important but difficult subject of definite proportions; and a select and valuable Mineralogical Cabinet has also been added, to exhibit, whenever possible, the native as well as the artificial forms and sources of the important articles of the Pharmacopeia.
Such are the advantages which the Faculty offer to Medical Students, and which, without intending any invi- dious comparisons, they consider as peculiar to their Insti- tution. With other schools they are ready to sustain an honorable competition, and are perfectly willing to leave the question of success to be determined by their efforts to deserve success.
The Lectures will commence on the first day of September next^ and will continue until the first day ofMa/rch following. WILLIAM E. A. AlKIN, Dean.

It will be seen that the. Chair of Surgery is now permanently filled, and that ample provision has been made for the Department of Anatomy. The extension of the Course, in one instance, to the period of six months, having met with univer- sal approbation, and being indeed demanded by the present state of Medicine, the Faculty have resolved to make that arrangement permanent. It is obvious that, in this respect, the University of Maryland furnishes advantages superior to those of any other School of Medicine in America. It is confidently hoped that the Profession will sus- tain this Institution in an innovation which cannot fail to be eminently conducive to the interests of Medical Science.
The period has arrived when a diploma is no longer to be regarded as a guarantee of profes-
sional success. The tests which reveal the amaimt of knowledge acquired by the pupil, are every day multiplying. Those only can hope for advance- ment, either in the medical staff of the public service, or in private practice, who make the best use of the best opportunities.
The Marine Hospital having been restored to the Infirmary of the University, and that Institu- tion presenting also many interesting cases from among our citizens, the means of Clinical ilhis- tration will be ample. Important Surgical Operations are of frequent occurrence.
It is well known that in the city of Baltimore the materials for the pursuit of Practical Anatomy are most ample, and easy of acquisition. In no city in America is public sentiment so indulgent in this respect.
Early in the commencement of the Course numerous and very valuable additions to the Anatomical Cabinet, will be received from Paris.
To THE Alumni of the University of Mary- land, AND the Friends of Southern Institutions, the Faculty make an earnest appeal in behalf of the Baltimore School of Medicine. They are reminded that recently this Institution has been rescued from difficulties, which for a time inter- rupted its career of usefulness. A decision of the highest Courts has given it a safe position, and rendered its government the most efficient. The State has generously released it from pecuniary responsibilities, and constituted it one of the best endowed schools in America, — its build- ing, apparatus, Museum and Infirmary, being un- surpassed.
I
The Faculty of Physic pledge themselves to the most indefatigable efforts to merit a widely extended patronage.
As the extension of the Course to six months is a recent innovation, attendance during four months only, will, for the present, be required during each term. The Course will be rendered complete to those who enter from the 1st to the 15th of November ; all are, however, advised to enter on the 1st of September.
Candidates for Graduation are required to have attended two full courses, of four months, in this Institution ; or one in this, and one in some other accredited School of Medicine.
The fee for the ticket of each Professor is $ 20, making $ 120 for the whole Course.

Practical Anatomy will be taught by the De- monstrator, the fee for whose course is $ 10 , — attendance optional with the pupil. The exten- sion of the term to six months will furnish the pupil with ample leisure for the prosecution of this highly important branch. Infirmary

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland, have the pleasure to announce to the Profession, that the vacant Chair of Theory and Practice of Medicine having been permanently and most satisfactorily filled, by the appointment of a gentleman well and deservedly known as a most successful teacher,* and many additional means of instruction having been provided for the several departments, they are prepared to commence the ensuing session of the Medical School with widely extended means of usefulness. For the infor- mation of gentlemen at a distance, it may be proper to state, that the College Buildings were erected many years since, without restriction as to* cost, for the express purpose for which they have since been occupied, and in point of con- venience and comfort are unsurpassed by any in the country. The lecture rooms are spacious, comfortable, well warmed aod v?ntilated; the dissecting room airy and well lighted ; the Anatomical Museum, already abundant, annu- ally increasing, and the Laboratory and Chemical Apparatus peculiarly fitted for exhibiting all the brilliant demonstrations indispensable for a satisfactory Chemical Course. The Hospital department of the University, in the imme- diate vicinity, and nearly opposite the Medical College, from its proximity, offers advantages for Clinical studies not to be found elsewhere. Here the stu- dent can, day by day, watch the progress of disease and the operation of reme- dies, and become familiar with the aspect of both acute and chronic complaints — can not only witness surgical operations, but also what is equally important, the nature and result of after treatment — advantages not to be obtained, where the Hospital is at a distance and visited only at long intervals. For practical Ana- tomy the material has always been most abundant, the mere surplus supplying other schools. By an arrangement with the College of Pharmacy, the lectures upon Practical Pharmacy before that Institution, will be delivered in the Uni- versity buildings, and will thus be accessible to all who may desire to enjoy the

D. late Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., (which place he resigned to connect himself with the Baltimore school) who has already distinguishej himself as one of the most popular teachers and eminenUy practical lecturers in our country.
0 PROSPECTUS OF THE
advantage. Attendance upon these lectures will be entirely optional with the student. The Faculty will provide free tickets of admission for all the members of the class who may be candidates for graduation ; for the admission of the other members of the class, a small fee will be charged. By an arrangement with H. CoLBURN, M. D. one of our most prominent booksellers, a medical reading room will be opened in the College buildings, where the student will find all the important American and English medical periodicals, and where, in the intervals of lectures, he can note the daily discoveries in his profession. The following sketch will give an idea of the character of the course of in- struction in this School :
Obstetrics^ Diseases of Women and Children, and Hedical Jurisprudence.
Prof. RICHARD WILMOT HALL.
The first embraces a full description of the structure and relations of the pelvis — of its investments and contents, and their functions and diseases — at the period of puberty, during gestation — parturition and the puerperal state — of embryology — signs of pregnancy — increment and changes of the foetus. A printed synopsis of Parturition is presented to each member of the class, ex- hibiting at one view every variety of natural, preternatural, manual or instru- mental iabur, showing their causes and modes of management, as sanctioned by the best authorities, and confirmed by long experience. The phenomena of the puerperal state and of lactation are treated of and explained, as also the man- agement and diseases of children.
The second Medical Jurisprudence treats of the rules of medical evidence in Court, of the laws relating to the legitimacy of marriages — of children, of infan- ticide, of abortion,-«i£ rape — of the causes of death by accident or intention, of homicide, suicide, of poisoning, hanging, drowning, suffocation ; of the lethality of blows, lesions, wounds — of insanity, alienation of mind, idiocy, monomania, mania — of the police of cities, as to quarantines, health laws, manufactories, cemeteries, sewers, &.c. A large collection of wet and dry preparations, plates, paintings, casts, instruments and machines, &.C., cu-e used to illustrate the obstetric course.
Chemistry and Pharmacy.
Prof. WILLIAM E. A. AIKIN.
The course will commence with a preliminary explanation of the nature and properties of the imponderable agents and the laws of chemical attraction, as influencing chemical operations, after which all the various simple and com- pound substances known to possess the slightest interest to the medical student will be systematically and successively brought before the class, their properties exhibited, and demonstrated experimentally, and their relations to medicine pointed out. The time will be principally occupied in explaining and incul-
FACULTY OF PHYSIC. /
eating those fundamental truths and principles of the science, (illustrating all experimentally,) which will enable the student to apply his knowledge to practi- cal purposes, and but little attention will be given to those rare and unimportant substances, so prominent in all chemical works, and so Ibrbiddingto the student, seen perchance but once in a lifetime, and wholly destitute ol practical value. All the chemical processes of the United States Pharmacopeia will be explained in full — the incorapatibles of all the important metlicinal substances noted and the cause of such incompatibility demonstrated.— The various reagents and the best processes for detecting all the mineral poisons will be exhibited — in short all the most important relations of Chemistry, to Physiology, Pathology, Therapeutics, and Toxicology will be pointed out. The apparatus in this department is be- lieved to be unequalled by that of any other Institution, and affords every pos- sible facility for teaching a science which can only be taught by experiment.
Surgery.
Prof. NATHAN R. SMITH.
As it is highly important that Practical Surgery should be illustrated, as much as possible, by the department of Anatomy progressing collaterally with it, the arrangement of the course of Surgery will be mainly anatomical.
Pathological Principles, of especial interest to the Surgeon, will be first con- sidered. Irritation, congestion, inflammation, will occupy the beginning of the course, and will be followed by general observations on those Injuries, the treatment of which is the province of the Surgeon. Next, as most intelligible at that period, will be taken up the subject of Injuries of the Skeleton — Frac- tures and Dislocations — illustrated^by numerous morbid preparations and casts, which the Professor has been for several years accumulating. The application of various forms of apparatus will be exhibited, and the requisite operations illustrated. Next will naturally follow Diseases of the Bones and Joints — In- tiammation. Caries, Necrosis, Exostosis, Osteosarcoma, Rachitis, Distortions, Arthrocacy, Wounds of Joints, he. he. Diseases and Injuries of the Muscular System will follow. Then will be introduced the important topic of Injuries and Diseasesofthe Arteries and Veins—Traumatic and Spontaneous Hemorrhage, Aneurism, Phlebitis, &c. Next will conveniently come injuries of the Cranium and its contents, and such diseases of the Head as pertain to Surgery, and with them. Injuries of the Nerves, Neurosis, Neuralgia, Tetanus, &,c. &.c. Then injuries and diseases of the Abdomen and its contents — Wounds of the Vis- cera, Hernia, kc. Injuries and Diseases of the Thorax and its contents, and with them, those of the Throat — Foreign Bodies in the Trachea and ffisophagus and the requisite operations. Particular attention will be given to the Injuries and Diseases of the Urinary and Genital organs — Syphilis, Gonorrhcra, Stric- ture, Lithiasis, Lithotomy. The modern operation of Lithotripsy, in the per- tbrmance of which the Professor has been many years engaged, will receive especial notice. Diseases and Injuries of the Eye and Ear will be next treated, and the subject of Tumors and Morbid Growths, will conclude the course. To illustrate all the above topics, the Professor will constantly avail himself of his own extensive collection, and also of the very valuable Museum of the late
PP.OSPF.CTfS OF TIIF.
Allan Burns, which for many years has boen the property of the University, The practical lessons received by the jnipils in the Hospital department, will constitute an exceedingly important part of the course. It is believed that no Hospital in America furnishes a greater number of important and interesting surgical operations.
Therapeutics, Hateria BSedica and Hygiene.
Prof. SAMUEL CHEW.
In this department, the first subjects of discussion are the doctrines of General Therapeutics, and the nature and mode of action of Medicines. The various methods of classifying these agents are next considered, and an arrangement of them adopted in reference to the remedial influence which they exert upon the human economy. The character and therapeutic uses of the several classes are fully detailed. The individual agents of which they consist are examined in the order of their relative value and impor- tance. A brief account is given of the natural history of each one of them, and of its commercial history, and chemical composition. A more ex- tended view is presented of the effects which each is capable of producing on the healthy living system, and especial attention is bestowed to designate the precise nature of its action. The various diseases are noticed in which each has been employed. The nature of those diseases is investigated, and from that and from the general character of the agent, are deduced, as far as practicable, the philosophy of its application in each malady, and the explanation of its effects whether salutary or injurious. The discussion of Pathology, or the nature of diseases, and of the therapeutic employment of remedies, constitutes the most extensive, as it is the most important portion of the course.
Care is used throughout to compare and harmonize the established facts of Clinical observation with the.conclusions legitimately derived from Physiology and Pathology; and the necessity Is inculcated of avoiding the opposite errors of dogmatic attachment to theoretic reasoning on the one hand, and blind sub- mission to imperfect and mistaken experience on the other.
The lectures on Hygiene comprise a view of the manner in which physical agents act upon the human body, so as to promote the proper performance of its functions, and produce health ; the manner in which those agents act upon the body so as to disorder or interrupt its functions and produce disease ; and the manner in which the action of those agents may be so regulated as to secure their good effect, the maintenance of health, and prevent their ill effect, the production of disease. The causes of health and disease which influence man- kind in general having been considered, the nature and effects of those causes are pointed out which act upon the health of particular classes of men, in con- sequence of their pecuHar trades and vocations. The course concludes with an account of the effects of climate, and of the peculiarities with regard to health and disease which arise from difference of sex, and which occur at different periods of life.
The lectures on Materia Medica will be amply illustrated by a cabinet of specimens of all the various substances described, and by an extensive collec- tion of accurate colored engravings of medical plants, both indigenous and exotic.
FACULTY OF PHYSIC.
IJeneral and Descriptive Anatomy and Physiology.
Pkof. JOSEPH ROBY.
From the well known advantages presented by the University, from the abun- dance of the materiel for the prosecution of Anatomical studies, the Professor is enabled at all times, to give the fullest and most perfect demonstration of all parts of his subject
At the same time, however, that the recent subject is thus presented to the Student, and every opportunity is afforded of viewing and studying the various portions of the frame, in their natural appearances, positions and relations, on all points of minute Anatomy, and in the demonstration of all regions, which are intricate and complicated in their structure, recourse is had to highly magnified drawings, in order to facilitate still farther his progress in this important branch of his studies.
In connection with the course on Anatomy, is delivered a full course upon Physiology also. Desirous that the Student should regard this branch of the science, not as a mere tax upon his memory, or as a matter of mere dry detail, but as one upon which is to be founded, in great measure, his practical know- ledge, the Professor takes every opportunity to enforce upon his attention those precepts, which are deducible from the structure and arrangements of the organs, parts and regions described; referring particularly, in treating of the skeleton, its articulations, the ligaments and muscles, to their surgical diseases, and to the philosophy of dislocations and fractures ; alluding, while speaking of the vari- ous organs and viscera, as well to their pathological conditions, as to their physi- ological functions, and their position with regard to wounds, surgical operations, &c. (in which he is enabled to do full justice to his subject by the extensive museum connected with his department), and in every part of his course en- deavoring to bring particularly before the notice of his class, those points, which are to be of daily and hourly importance to them in their professional career.
Theory and Practice,
Prof. ELISHA BARTLETT.
This course will be made up almost entirely of the natural history, the diag- nosis, and management of individual diseases. Hypothetical speculations, both ancient and modern, which, under the specious and captivating, but false, guises o{ Medical Doctrines <ind Medical Theories, hnve generally occupied, and still continue to occupy so large a space in this department of instruction — wasting the time and perverting the minds of the pupils — will be wholly discarded ; and the great object of the teacher will be to impart to the members of his classes such knowledge as will be available to them in the daily discharge of their pro- fessional duties. He will endeavor to teach them, not his own particular views, or speculations, or opinions, merely, nor those of a few other ingenious and ianciful men, but the science and art of special pathology and therapeutics, or of practical medicine, as it actually exists, — the aggregate result of the labors
10
PROSPECTUS OF THE
and achievements of past ages and of the present time ; and throughout his whole course of practical instruction, he will constantly strive to irubue the minds of his pupils with the principles of a sound medical philosophy.
In order to facilitate the acquisition of a practical knowledge of the physical signs of disease, — so essential to accurate and positive diagnosis, — he will meet the members of his class, in small clubs, near the commencement of the term ; and in this way endeavor to give to each of them, individually, such demon- strative instruction as may be necessary, in order to enable them subsequently to prepare themselves for the profitable use of auscultation and percussion. The facilities for Clinical instruction furnished by the Hospital department, will enable him very easily to accomplish this, and will permit him, he trusts, to exhibit to the class, during the course of the term, cases of all the important diseases of ordinary occurrence, and a great many of the more rare modifica- tions. The regular Clinical instruction there given by the bed-side will con- stitute a very important and interesting part of the course.
Practical Anatomy.
G. W. MILTENBERGER, M. D.
The proverbial reputation of the University of Maryland, for the abundant supply of subjects, offered to her students., renders it unnecessary farther to dwell upon this point, than to assure those, who are desirous of pursuing Practi- cal Anatomy, that every facility will be afforded them, and that the arrange- ments, made in connection with this department, are such as constantly to give them an Ample supply for all purposes, such indeed as can be offered to them by lew if any schools in the country. In order to assist the class in every way, as far as possible, a large portion of the day is spent by the Demonstrator in his rooms, and it is his custom to demonstrate, from day to day, such portions of the bod3% as the different classes are studying, with their healthy and diseased structure, their surgical relations, and such operations as they are most usually called upon to perform. Besides which, a full and thorough series of lectures upon Surgical Anatomy is given, commenci^'jg the first of the session and con- tinuing through the course.
That nothing may be wanting to insure to the Student every advantage which could possibly be desired, the Dissecting Rooms will be opened, the first of Oc- tober, a month previous to the commencement of the regular session, and during the month a course of lectures will be given by the Demonstrator on Splanch- nology ; the first lecture being delivered on the first Monday of October.

HOSPITAL DEPARTBIEMT.
This department, long known as the Baltimore Infirmary, placed in the immediate vicinity, and nearly opposite tlie Medical College, presents opportu- nities not lurnished elsewhere for the study of disease. During the session of Lectures the Surgical cases are attended by the Professor of Surgery, and the Medical cases by the Professor of Theory and Practice ; both of whom visit the house daily at hours convenient for the attendance of the class, thus enabling them to note the daily progress of every interesting case of acute disease, and the after-treatment in Surgical operations. In addition to this. Clinical lectures are given by each of the above Professors regularly twice every week, and oftener when cases of unusual interest occur, as frequently happens. Important Surgical operations are of frequent occurrence : the fol- lowing abstract from the books of the house, showing the operations performed during the last two sessions, will exhibit at a glance the opportunities in this respect.

PROFESSOR or THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PHARMACY,
III the Maryland College of Pharmacy.
The lectures in Theoretical and Practical Pharmacy will embrace an exhibi- tion of the apparatus, which is usually employed in Pharmaceutical operations, with the principles upon which it is constructed, and suggestions with regard to the substitutes that may be employed ; a review of that part of the United States Dispensatory which treats of preparations, and the most approved mode of preparing and compounding those medicines most frequently used, and par- ticularly those, which it is necessary should be formed extemporaneously. Specimens of imperfect and adulterated medicines will be compared with those carefully selected and prepared, and the mode of detecting adulterations ex- plained and exhibited, particularly with reference to those constantly in use. It will be left entirely optional with the class to attend these lectures or not, as they may prefer. The Faculty will provide tickets for all members of the class who may be candidates for graduation ; for all others the fee for Professor Stew- art's ticket will be five dollars.
^^(hmt ®(!rt^tn0
To contribute as much as possible to the comfort and convenience, as well as the instruction of the class, the Faculty have made an arrangement with Dr. CoLBURN, to open a Medical Reading Room, in the College building, for the use of Medical Students, where gentlemen will have an opportunity of examin- ing all the prominent medical periodicals and other works of interest, and at the same time may conveniently procure the various text books used in the College, and other medical works. The want of a pleasant room of this kind, during the hours not occupied by 'lectures, has long been felt, and its advantage will undoubtedly be fully appreciated. (See advertisement on cover.)

Fees, Regulations, &c.
The next annual Course of Lectures will commence on the last Monday of October, 1844, and be continued until the first day of March following.
Candidates for graduation are required to have attended two courses of Lec- tures in this institution ; or one course in this after one in some other respecta- ble school of medicine.
The fee for the ticket of each professor is ticentij dollars, making one hundred and twenty dollars for the whole course.
For clinical instruction in the Infirmary the fee is five dollars. Practical Anatomy is taught by the Demonstrator, the fee for whose course is ten dollars. Attendance, although not obligator}', is strongly recommended as highly desira- ble by the Faculty.
Payment for tickets will be received in the current notes of the solvent banks of the States where Students respectively reside. The price of board and all other incidental expenses^ are as low in Baltimore as in any other city in the country, and probably lower than in any more southern city.

lAIAMLAND COLLEGE O;*^ PHARMACY.
The Maryland College of Pharmacy was incorporated in 1841, in pursuance of a request, emanating from a general meeting of the Apothecaries of Maryland, called during the spring of 1840, for that purpose. The object of the Association is the encouragement of the sciences of Chemistry and Phar- macy, by promoting an interchange of ideas upon these subjects among its members, discouraging the sale of inferior and adul- terated medicines, and distinguishing between those who have and those who have not a competent knowledge of those sciences. Its members are the most influential and successful Pharma- ceutists of our State, the unanimous vote of the Board of Trus- tees being necessary for an election. The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland have provided the Institution with an apartment for their regular meetings, and their next annual Course of Lectures will be delivered in the University building.

The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland have the pleasure to announce to the Profession that the recently vacant Chair of Theory and Practice of Medicine has been permanently and most satisfactorily filled, by the appointment of a gentleman well and deservedly known as a most successful teacher, while many additional means of instruction have been provided for the several departments. The lecture rooms are spacious, comfortable, well warmed and ventilated ; the dissecting room airy and well lighted ; the Anatomical Mu- seum already abundant, annually increasing, and the Laboratory and Chemical Apparatus peculiarly fitted for exhibiting all the brilliant demonstrations indis- pensable for a satisfactory Chemical Course. The Hospital department of the University, in the immediate vicinity, and nearly opposite the Medical College, from its proximity, offers advantages for Clinical studies not to be found else- where. Here the student can, day by,day, watch the progress of disease and the operation of remedies, and become familiar with the aspect of both acute and chronic complaints — can not only witness surgical operations, but also, what is equally important, the nature and result of after treatment — advantages not to be obtained where the Hospital is at a distance and visited only at long inter- vals. For practical Anatomy the material has always been most abundant, the mere surplus supplying other schools. By an arrangement with the College of Pharmacy, the lectures upon Practical Pharmacy before that Institution will be delivered in the University buildings, and will thus be accessible to all who may desire to enjoy the advantage — attendance upon these lectures will be entirely optional with the student.
The next annual Course of Lectures will commence on the last Monday of October, 1845, and be continued until the first day of March following.
Candidates for graduation are required to have attended two courses of Lec- tures in this institution , or one course in this after one in some other respecta- ble school of medicine.
Payment for tickets will be received in the current notes of the solvent banks of the States where Students respectively reside. The price of board and all other expenses are as low in Baltimore as in any other city in the country.

REGULATIONS, FEES, &c.
The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland being desirous to reduce the expenses of their students to the standard that has been adopted in the neighboring cities, have materially lowered their fees, making the School with its present charges the cheapest in this region, if we take into account the trifling expenses here in the study of Practical Anatomy, the free Clinical instruction, and other advantages. For the information of gentlemen at a dis- tance, it may be proper to state that the College Buildings were erected many years since, without restriction as to cost, for the express purpose for which they have since been occupied, and in point of convenience and comfort are unsur- passed by any in the country. The Lecture Rooms are spacious, comfortable, well warmed and ventilated ; the Dissecting Room airy and well lighted ;. the Anatomical Museum, already abundant, annually increasing, and.the Laboratory and Chemical Apparatus peculiarly fitted for exhibiting all the brilliant demon- strations indispensable for a satisfactory Chemical Course. Important additions to the departments of Anatomy, Surgery and Chemistry are also expected, hav- ing been ordered through Prof. Bartlett, now in Europe, who will bring with him on his return whatsoever of new or interesting the progress of European Medicine offers.
The Hospital department of the University, in the immediate vicinity, and nearly opposite the Medical College, from its proximity, offers advantages for Clinical studies not to be found elsewhere. Here the student can, day by day, watch the progress of disease and the operation of remedies, and become fa-

miliar with the aspect of both acute and chronic complaints — can not only wit- ness Surgical operations, but also, what is equally important, the nature and result of after treatment — advantages not to be obtained where the Hospital is at a dis- tance and visited only at long intervals. For practical Anatomy the material has always been most abundant and cheap, constituting this city in that respect the Paris of America, the mere surplus supplying other schools. By an arrange- ment with the College of Pharmacy, the Lectures upon Practical Pharmacy be- fore that institution, will be delivered in the University buildings, and will thus be accessible to all who may desire to enjoy the advantage. Attendance upon these lectures will be entirely optional with the student.
The next annual Course of Lectures will commence on the last Monday of October, 1846, and be continued until the first day of March following.
Candidates for graduation are required to have attended two courses of Lec- tures in this institution ; or one course in this after one in some other respectable school of Medicine.
Each must present to the Dean of the Faculty a thesis of his own composition on some medical subject, and exhibit to the Faculty, satisfactory evidence of his professional attainments.
If, after examination for a degree, any candidate, on ballot, shall be found to have received three negative votes, he shall be entitled to a fresh examination. Should he decline this, he may withdraw his thesis, and not be considered as rejected.
The degree will not be conferred upon any candidate who absents himself from the public commencement, except by special permission of the Faculty.
The fee for the ticket of each professor is fifteen dollars, making the total of expenses for the lectures ninety dollars.
Matriculation fee five dollars. Graduation fee for the diploma twenty dollars.
The Clinical ticket is furnished without charge. Practical Anatomy is taught by the Demonstrator, the fee for whose course is ten dollars. Attendance, although not obligatory, is strongly recommended as highly desirable by the Faculty.
Payment for tickets will be received in the current notes of the solvent banks of the States where Students respectively reside. The price of board and all other incidental expenses are as low in Baltimore as in any other city in the country, and lower than in any more southern city.

REGULATIONS, FEES, &c.
The Faculty of Physic of the University of Maryland b^ing desirous to reduce the expenses of their students to the standard that has been adopted in the neighboring cities, have materially lowered their fees, making the School wuth its present charges the cheapest in this region, if we take into account the trifling expenses here in the study of Practical Anatomy, the free Clinical instruction, and other advantages. For the information of gentlemen at a distance, it may be pro- per to state that the College Buildings were erected many years since, without restriction as to cost, for the express purpose for which they have since been oc- cupied, and in point of convenience and comfort are unsurpassed by any in the country. The Lecture Rooms are spacious, comfortable, well warmed and ven- tilated ; the Dissecting Room airy and well lighted ; the Anatomical Museum, al- ready abundant, annually increasing, and the Laboratory and Chemical Apparatus peculiarly fitted for exhibiting all the brilliant demonstrations indispensable for a satisfactory Chemical Course.
N REGULATIONS, FEES, ETC.
The Hospital department of the University, in the immediate vicinity, and near- ly opposite the Medical College, from its proximity, offers advantages for Clinical studies not to be found elsewhel-e. Here the student can, day by day, writch the progress of disease and the operation of remedies, and become familiar with the aspect of both acute and chronic complaints — can not only witness Surgical operations, but also, what is equally important, the nature and result of after treat- ment— advantages not to be obtained where the Hospital is at a distance and vis- ited only at long intervals. For practical Anatomy the material has always been most abundant and cheap, constituting this city in that respect the Paris of Amer- ica, the mere surplus supplying other schools. By an arrangement with the Col- lege of Pharmacy, the Lectures upon Practical Pharmacy before that institution, will be delivered in the University buildings, and will thus be accessible to all who may desire to enjoy the advantage. Attendance upon these lectures will hd entirely optional with the student.
The next annual Course of Lectures will commence on the last Monday of Oc- tober, 1847, and be continued until the first day of March following.
Candidates for graduation are required to have attended two courses of Lectures in this institution; or one course in this after one in some other respectable schodl of Medicine.
Each must present to the Dean of the Faculty a thesis of his own composition on some medical subject, and exhibit to the Faculty, satisfactory evidence of his professional attainments.
If, after examination for a degree, any candidate, on ballot, shall be found to have received three negative votes, he shall be entitled to a fresh examination. — Should he decline this, he may withdraw his thesis, and not be considered as re- jected.
The degree will not be conferred upon any candidate who absents himself from the public commencement, except by special permission of the Faculty.
The fee for the ticket of each professor is fifteen dollars, making the total of ex- penses for the lectures nbieiy dollars.
Matriculation fee five dollars. Graduation fee for the diploma twenty dollars.
The Clinical ticket is furnished without charge. Practical Anatomy is taught by the Demonstrator, the fee for whose course is ten dollars. Attendance, although not obligatory, is strongly recommended as highly desirable by the Faculty.
Payment for tickets will be received in the current notes of the solvent banks cf the States where Students respectively reside. The price of board and all other incidental expenses are as low in Baltimore as in any other city in the country.

AN?s^UAL CIRCULAE.
In presenting the forty-first Annual Circular of the Medical Department of the University of Maryland, the Faculty of Physic cannot refrain from congratulating the public, the pro- fession, and themselves, upon the present prosperous condition and flattering prospects of the Institution committed to their charge. Relieved by the generous liberality of the state legis- ture from a burdensome debt ; having at their disposal a place and means admirably adapted for purposes of public instruction, and feeling that the sympathies of the profession are with them, they are constantly stimulated and encouraged to sustain, im- prove and perfect the reputation of the University, and the course of instruction given in her halls. During her past his- tory the University of Maryland has always been the advocate of improvement and advancement. The present Faculty parti- cipate fully in the desire that this advancement, which an en- lightened profession justly imposes upon those who bestow, as well as those who receive, its honors, may be furthered by their efforts. With this object in view, they have been led to extend the term and increase the amount of instruction, and to change, in some respects, the requirements for obtaining a degree. Hav- ing held, for several years, sessions of six months, which they were compelled to abandon, in consequence of the non-confor- mity of other schools, they do not feel that an extension of the session to that length is at present expedient. Neither do they regard as advisable a merely nominal increase in the form of ^'introductory," "supplementary" or "additional course." They have, therefore, preferred to provide for a gradual extension of the session in such a manner as shall give an absolute increase
of the amount as well as term of instruction, without being bur- densome to those students who have already commenced their education: the next session will, therefore, be continued till the fifteenth day of March.
With an Institution under their personal control, the Balti- more Infirmary, admirably calculated to furnish material for Clinical Instruction, the Faculty consider it absolutely essential that every pupil who resorts to the School should avail himself of its advantages. They have, therefore, made a Clinical ticket imperative, and will require, from all candidates for grad- uation, evidence of attendance, during two sessions, upon a course of Clinical Instruction. In this School the Clinical ticket is furnished to all matriculates without charge.
The facilities for prosecuting Anatomical studies have been increased by the introduction of gas into the rooms, thus enabling the student to pursue his dissection during a part of the day not occupied by lectures. Convinced of the absolute necessity of a correct knowledge of Anatomy, and aware of the insuperable difficulties which attend its practical study after entering upon active professional life, the Faculty, after much reflection, have decided upon making attendance upon one course of Practical Anatomy obligatory. The Faculty are willing to rest the wisdom of imposing this obligatory attend- ance in the Dissecting Room upon the judgment not only of those who constitute the profession now, but upon the judg- ment of their own pupils, when experience and the exigencies of medical practice shall have taught them the necessity and utility of Anatomical study.
In addition to the study of Practical Anatomy, it has been thought desirable, that the changes induced by disease should be more fully described and demonstrated than has been done heretofore. To this end a Lectureship of Pathological Anatomy has been instituted, attendance upon which during one session will be required. The Faculty h^ve placed this Department in the hands of a gentleman, who, they feel confident, will spare no pains to make it an object of attraction and utility. In the present condition of Medical Science something more is re-
quired of the educated physician than a vague impression that ''pain, heat, redness and swelling," constitute inflammation ; that tubercle is "a round," and cancer "a hard" mass: he must know how to distinguish by their special characteristics the great elementary forms of disease. These it is the office of Pathological Anatomy to exhibit and unfold, so that the appre- ciation of disease during life may be followed by the recogni- tion of its true nature after death.
Whatever may be the abilities of its Faculty, the reputation of a School must depend, in a good degree, upon the character of those who resort to its halls. Without any attempt to flatter the pride or the vanity of the subjects of its commendation, the Faculty recall, with real pleasure, the honorable conduct, gen- eral industry and intelligence which have characterized the classes of the University during the period of their connection with it : qualities, which while they render agreeable the labors of a public teacher, aflford him assurance that the pupils, with whose preliminary training he is identified, will become, in due time, the ornaments of an honorable and responsible profession: a profession in which the three great requisites for success are, a good mind, good morals, and good manners.
The Course of Instruction in the particular Departments is comprised in the following schedule:
I. SURGERY.
Prof. NATHAN R. SMITH.
The chair of Surgery includes the Principles and Practice of Surgery. Surgery is regarded, taught and treated as a practical art, founded upon plain, intelligible and rational principles. The whole object of the teacher is to enforce aud illustrate these principles: so that in the emergencies of actual practice, the thing to be done, and the way to do it, may be clearly known and promptly applied. Believing that to be appreciated, all public teaching should be as practical and demonstrative as possible, it will be the constant endeavor of the Professor to convert abstract doctrine into pal- pable fact, by the citation of illustrative examples, and the exhibition of real in- stances. The wards of the infirmary will enable him to do this to a very considera- ble extent : and he will have recourse to his own collection of casts, drawings and preparations for further assistance. Having been actively engaged in the practice of Surgery for many years, he has gathered together much material for illustrating a Surgical course. During the past season, a considerable collection of French models 1*
has been ordered, and a large number of drawings and casts have been added to the suite of preparations,
{ Clinical lectures are given at the Infirmary in addition to the regular course, and such cases as require to be operated upon .are exhibited, and the operations per- formed in presence of the class. •'.?{' J? ' ■

II. CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY.
Prof. WILLIAM E. A. AIKIN.
As it is necessary for the student to understand the elementary ])rinciples of the science of Chemistry, before he can comprehend their application to the wants of medicine, the lectures in this department will commence with the consideration of these principles. The laws of affinity, the various circumstances that modify the Chemical relations ofelementary and compound particles, the nomenclature of Chemis- try and the use of Chemical symbols as the written language of the science will be first presented. The properties and phenomena of Caloric, Light, Electricity and Gal- vanism will be discussed, in relation to their practical bearing on the studies and the duties of the physician, a full and comprehensive consideration of these topics be- longing rather to the subject of Natural Philosophy. Next in order, the properties of the various elementary bodies will be examined, selecting those only that exist in the various compounds possessing any interest to the medical student, and passing very cursorily over those that are found only as constituents of a few unimportant sub- stances of rare occurrence. The Pharmaceutical processes of the Pharmacopceia will be explained in full, and the Chemical reactions concerned in those processes made manifest. The incompatibles of all the important medicinal substances will be no- ticed, and the cause of such incompatibility experimentally shown.
The various reagents., and the best processes for detecting the mineral poisons will' be exhibited, and the relations of Chemistry to Toxicology pointed out. The Chem- istry of organic bodies will occupy a prominent part of the course embracing the characteristics of all the important proximate elements of the animal and vegetable structure, both solids and fluids, so far as these have any bearing, or can throw any light on the functions of the human system in health and disease. For these various purposes the apparatus in this department, which is believed to be unequalled by that of any other institution in the country, will afford every facility. As an experimental science, Chemistry can only be successfully taught, by having recourse continually to experimental illustrations, and these will be constantlj^ employed whenever admis- sible, in a manner to make the lectures instructive and impressive.

m. GENERAL THERAPEUTICS, MATERIA MEDICA, AND HYGIENE.
Prof. SAMUEL CHEW.
In this department, the topics that first occur are the doctrines of General Thera- peutics. together with the applications, mode of action, and effects of medicines. The various methods of classifying remedial agents are considered, and an arrange-
ment of them adopted in reference to the nature of their action on the living body. The character and Therapeutic uses of the several classes are fully detailed. The in- dividual agents of which they consist, are examined in the order of their relative value and importance. A brief account is given of the natural history of each one of them, and of its commercial history, and Chemical composition. A more extend- ed view is presented of the effects which each is capable of producing on the healthy living body, and especial attention is bestowed to designate the precise nature of its action. The various diseases are noticed, in which each has been employed. From the nature of those diseases, and from the general character of the agent, are de- duced, as far as practicable, the philosophy of its application in each malady, and the explanation of its effects, whether salutary or injurious. The discussion of the Therapeutic employment of remedies, constitutes the most extensive, as it is the most important, portion of the course.
Care is used throughout to compare and harmonize the established facts of Clinical observation with the conclusions legitimately derived from Physiology and Patholo- gy ; and the necessity is inculcated of avoiding the opposite errors of dogmatic at- tachment to theoretic reasoning on the one hand, and blind submission to imperfect and mistaken experience on the other.
The lectures on Hygiene comprise a view of the manner in which physical agents act upon the human body, so as to promote the proper performance of its functions, and produce health ; the manner in w^hich those agents act upon the body so as to disorder or interrupt its functions and produce disease; and the manner in which the action ot those agents may be so regulated as to secure their good effect, the main- tenance of health, and prevent their ill effect, the production of disease. The causes of health and disease which influence mankind in general having been considered, the nature and effects of those causes are pointed out which act upon the health of particular classes of men, in consequence of their peculiar trades and vocations. The course concludes with an account of the effects of climate, and of the peculiarities with regard to health and diseases which arise from difference of sex, and which oc- cur at different periods of life.
The lectures on Materia Medica will be amply illustrated by a cabinet of speci- mens of all the various substances described, and by an extensive collection of accu- rate colored engravings of medical plants, both indigenous and exotic.
Books of reference in this department: Pereira's Materia Medica and Therapeu- tics, Dispensatory of the United States, Royle's ^Materia .Medica and Therapeutics, Pereira on Food and Diet, Combe's Physiology applied to the Preservation of Health.
IV. ANATOMY.
Prof. JOSEPH ROBY.
The lectures in this department are intended to be entirely demonstrative : and as far as possible to teach fact, not doctrine — truth, not speculation : to develop practi- cal use, and to guide the student through a knowledge of the plain and palpable into the desire of a knowledge of the intricate and obscure.
As the science of Anatomy is not perfect, inasmuch as the structure and use of many parts are still unknown, it of course cannot be, in a literal sense, perfectly taught. One must choose how much and in what mode he will learn and teach, and in this school the selection is always made with reference to the future occupation of the medical pupil. All aids ordinarily in use, in addition to the parts themselves, are
8
made available for this purpose, and all effort that can be bestowed, is bestowed in guiding the student in the proper path for acquiring profitable information.
With the admirable facilities at hand for the pursirit of Practical Anatomy, it is be- lieved that the outline given in the public hall can be easily filled up. To this end the attention of the student is constantly directed, and while an attempt is made to brin*' before him in proper succession the different systems of which the body is composed in such form that he can apply his own senses to their appreciation, he is taught to seek confirmation and enlargement of his knowledge through the work of his own hands. The opportunity for doing this is all that can be desired, and such as- sistance as is needful constantly rendered.
The elements of a science are the guides to the solution of its most intricate prob- lems. In Anatomy they are capable of thorough comprehension: the aim in this school is to make this comprehension clear and perfect. Public instruction is intend- ed to be an introduction to private study. The desire is not to coax the memory into retention of the barbarous nomenclature of the brain, bones and muscles, but to ex- hibit truths in their practical relation to the daily duties of the physician, to show how these truths can be best acquired, and to excite the intellect to the devotion of its capacities to their acquisition.
Books of reference in this department: Wilson's Anatomy, Cruveilhier's Anatomy, Quain's Anatomical Plates, Carpenter's Physiology.
V. THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Prof. WILLIAM POWER.
In a field so wide as that embraced by the chair of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, it is impossible during the term allotted to the lectures, to describe fully all the various diseases which fall properly within its scope. The lectures, therefore, from this chair, are so arranged, that while each year a general view is given of all the more important diseases affecting the different parts of the system, certain classes are dwelt upon more in detail one year, and others the next, thus making the course very full and complete to those who attend two sessions, and avoiding monotonous repetition of the same subjects. Great principles of treatment can thus be reiterated and enforced, in connection with different diseases, bearing certain analogies to one another, and the mind of the student is kept aroused by the apparent novelty of mat- ter presented in new relations, which might appear dull, repeated in the same form as the preceding year.
The great object of instruction will be to inculcate positive and ascertained facts, avoiding as much as possible, all hypothetical explanations and theoretical doctrines. The student wants sound elementary knowledge. He must first acquire those facts and truths which have been really established by the labors of our predecessors, and the investigations of our contemporaries, before he is prepared to appreciate the value of the different Theories deduced from them. The teacher's object, therefore, will be to put him in possession of those materials which must form the basis of his future medical knowledge, rather than to entertain him with speculations; to arouse in him a spirit of patient observation, rather than of speculative reasoning. With this end in view, a large part of the course will consist of an accurate description of the natural history of diseases, their lesions, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and the mutual relations of these to one another: while, by plates, models, wet and dry preparations, and recent specimens of diseased structures, an attempt will be made to convey correct notions of the pathological changes occurring in different diseases.
The Hospital of the Baltimore Infirmary belongs to the University of Maryland, and affords ample materials for Clinical instruction ; in other words, for teaching the art as well as the science of medicine. This institution is daily attended by the Professor, and Clinical lectures delivered by him, in addition to the regular course at the school. A great advantage of this institution is that it possesses a hospital of its own, open at all times to its students, where the truths taught in the lecture room may be demonstrated to the senses, and submitted to the observation of its pupils. It is only at the bedside that accurate diagnosis can be taught, and the shifting indi- cations for the use of therapeutical means nicely discriminated. The important art of physical diagnosis, particularly m diseases of the chest, will be largely dwelt upon, and every pains taken to give the students such practical demonstrative instruction as may enable them to apply it with profit hereafter.
Books of reference in this department : Chomel's General Pathology, Wood's Practice of Medicine, Watson's Lectures on Theory and Practice, Library of Practi- cal Medicine, AndraPs Cliuique.
VI. MIDWIFERY AND THE DISEASES OF WOMEN AND
CHILDREN.
Prof. RICHARD H. THOIVIAS.
In the first part of this course, as connected and practical a view as possible of the science of Tokology or Midwifery proper, will be presented.
This will be best accomplished by taking up the consideration of labor as soon as we are prepared for it, by an acquaintance with the Anatomy and functions of the organs which are concerned in it, and with the fcetus in its relations to pregnancy and parturition. This division of the course will be illustrated by numerous paint- ings of large size, by models, and by the machine.
A thoroughly practical course will be attempted, and every student who desires it, will have the opportunity of performing the different operations upon the machine. ~ The'Diseases of Women, esijecially those which are consequent to, or dependent upon the puerperal state, will then be considered-
The history and treatment of the diseases which are peculiar to infancy and childhood will conclude the course.
Books of reference : ChurchhiU, Rigby, Ramsbotham, Velpeau, Columbat, Evanson. Condie.
VII. PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY.
G. W. MILTENBERGER, M. D.
In accordance with the necessity, universally acknowledged, of increasing the means of instruction for the student, so as to keep pace, as far as possible, with tije rapid advance of modern medicine, the Faculty of the University of Maryland, have established a lectureship upon Pathological Anatomy, in addition to the facilities heretofore afforded to the students of this Institution. The importance of this depart- ment of science, the numerous observations and immense mass of facts which have now been accumulated, and the period of time which is generally devoted to oral in- struction, render it impossible that, in conjunction with its more immediate practical details, the chair of Theory and Practice should embrace more than special Pathology.
10
In order, however, that the student may come fully prepared to benefit by such in- struction, to appreciate, to appropriate and classify such knowledge, the principle and highest aim ot his pursuits, it is necessary that he should comprehend the laws of dis- ease, the causes, origin, course and terminations of "general morbid actions, which can alone offer a sure basis upon which to ground his views of practice.
As the most important and essential preliminary, the subject of inflammation, its general history, progress, the various changes attending and consequent upon it, with its effects on the different tissues, will occupy the first, and a principal portion of the course. Transformations and the production of analogous tissues will naturally be conjoined with it, and afterwards the heterologous formations will be luily discussed. In all cases, every opportunity will be taken to offer to inspection recent morbid specimens, together with those previously collected, while all points admitting of it will be fully illustrated by diagrams and drawings.
PRACTICAL ANATOMY.
The dissecting room is in charge of the Demonstrator, who superintends and directs the classes in their dissections. Anatomical material is abundant, and furnished at moderate expense. Indeed it is doubted if any school in the country can equal the facilities afforded here. The rooms are convenient, well warmed, ventilated, and lighted with gas.
The Demonstrator passes much time in assisting the students, and in guiding their labors. Access may be had to the rooms at all hours of the day, until 10 o'clock, P. M., when the Janitor closes them for the night.
The Faculty wish it to be understood, that the advantages offered for the pursuit of Practical Anatomy are not merely nommal. They refer with pride, to the zeal and industry of the classes during the past session, and trust, that the opportunity for studying Anatomy, which none can neglect with impunity, may continue to be appre» ciated and improved.
HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT.
JAMES M ORISON, M.D. Resident PhysicIa.n. Sister MARY CHRYSOSTOM, Sister Superior.
The University Hospital, long known as the Baltimore Infirmary, in the immediate vicinity of the Medical College, furnishes ample opportunity for the Clinical observa- tion of disease. During the session, it is in charge of the Professor of Surgery and the Professor of Theory and Practice, who visit it daily, at hours convenient for the class. Clinical lectures are regularly given by the Professors on the cases in the wards. During the past session the class have had exhibited to it several important surgical operations, and many highly interesting cases of disease. The opportunity of comparing the phenomena of typhoid and typhus fever, and of testing their resem- blances and differences may be cited among many other instances of the advantages of the institution. Other acute diseases are constantly admitted, furnishing invalua- ble subjects for Clinical teaching. This department of the University is at present in a most flourishing condition, and so highly appreciated and liberally patronised, that it is in contemplation to enlarge it for the reception of such cases as are, at present, necessarily excluded on account of restricted accommodation. Under the manage-
11
ment of the Faculty, its internal affairs being administered by those admirable "Sis- ters of Charily," whose name is synonymous with kindness, care and comfort, it is believed, tliat no similar institution combines greater advantages for the study pi dis- ease, and for the acquiring of habits of observation and discrimination.
Desirous that the benefits of this branch of the University may be extended, the Faculty appoint a limited number of resident pupils who are admitted to the usual privileges of hospital internes. The fee for which is eighty dollars per year, payable in advance.
The following report of the resident physician exhibits the number and character of cases treated in the wards during the last year.

The next course of lectures will begin on the fourth Monday (30th) of October 18-18, and end on the 15th day of March, 1S49.
The Fees for attendance on lectures are, for Surgery, Chemistry, Materia Medica, Anatomy, Theory and Practice, Obstetrics, yj/ifeen dollars each.
The fee for the course on Pathological Anatomy is five dollars, and the fee for the ticket of Practical Anatomy is ten dollars.
Every student is required to matriculate and to pay the regular fee, which is five dollars. No charge is made for the clinical ticket.
The matriculation and lecture tickets must be taken out at the commencement of the session. Notes of solvent banks of the states where students reside will be re- ceived in payment.
Candidates for graduation are required to have attended two full courses of lectures in this institution ; or one in this, after one in some other respectable medical school.
The ticket of the lecturer on Pathological Anatomy, and the ticket of Practical Anatomy are required to be taken but once.
Every candidate must deposit with the Dean of the Faculty, at such time as may be specified, a thesis, of his own composition, on some subject connected with medi- cal science, and satisfy the Faculty, by appearing before them in a private examina- tion, of his fitness for receiving the degree of Doctor in Medicine.
The several Professors are in the habit of holding weekly public examinations throughout the session, attendance upon which is recommended, though not enforced. The judgment of the Faculty upon the fitness of a candidate, is based on their know- ledge of his .general intelligence and industry, as well as upon the result of the final examination. Open irregularity of conduct, negligence, continued and prolonged ab- sence from lectures are always regarded as obstacles to success in obtaining a degree.
The result of an examination is determined by a majority of votes. Should the Faculty be equally divided the candidate may be re-examined, if he should desire it. If he decline a second examination, he may withdraw his thesis, and resume the posi- tion of a candidate in whose case no decision has been had.
The graduation fee, (including Diploma,) is twenty dollars.
A public commencement is held soon after the close of the examinations, under authority of the Provost and Regents of the University, at which the degrees are conferred. No candidate will be excused from attendance, but by special vote of the Faculty.
IXT'T/ic Janitor, who may he found at his house on the University grounds, will direct gentlemen to comfortable and convenient boarding houses. The expenses of living are as low in Baltimore as in any city in the country ; good hoard being ob- tainable at from %Z OQ to ^A 00 per week.

MARYLAND MEDICAL INSTITUTE,
§1
This Institute is organized with a view of elevating the standard of ofEce instruction, in accordance with the design of the National Medical Convention.
The members of this association have procured, in a central part of the City of Baltimore, a suite of rooms for the accommodation of private students, to whom they offer every facility for a thorough prosecution of the study of the medical scienc-^s.
A select library containing the standard medical works; a cabinet with every important article treated of in the materia medica; anatomical, physiological and pathological plates and preparations, will be placed before the student as he progresses in his studies; and opportunities will also be afforded him of becoming familiar with the use of the microscope, with auscultation and medical chem'stry.
Daily systematic readings and examinations will be held in all the branches of medical education — b^ the preceptors in person, during the Spring, Summer and Autumn, and regular examinations upon the sub- jects taught in the medical schools during the Winter.
Clinical instruction will be occasionally given during the year, and lectures on subjects not embraced in the University course, illusiraied by drawings, plates and preparations, will be delivered during the Summer months.
It is also in contemplation, to afford an opportunity for private dissec- tion.
Fees. — For the terra of one year S'lOO 00; for examinations and all other office privileges during the session of the Universities ^30 00; in either case in advance.
Any additional information may be obtained, on application to Dr. E. W. Theobald, No. 74 North Charles street.

ANNUAL CIRCULAR.
The next session will commence on the last Monday (29th) of October, 1849, and close on the 15th of March, 1850.
The Faculty will endeavor to give a practical and intelligible course of instruction, calculated to prepare the student for the emergencies of his future profession. For purposes of clinical teaching, they have at their command and under their sole con- trol, the Baltimore Infirmary, which, having been enlarged re- cently, now contains one hundred and fifty beds. Its internal economy is managed by members of the Sisterhood of Charity, whose care, kindness, devotion to duty, and considerate attention to the necessities of the sick are known the world over. Eight clinical assistants are annually appointed from the medical class, who reside in the Institution, and have an opportunity to observe the cases of disease which enter the wards.
The advantages for studying Practical Anatomy are unsur- passed, affording the student the fullest and most favorable means for acquiring a knowledge of those elementary details of struc- ture, without w^hich, as a practitioner, he is likely to be involved in errors whose penalty is often a sacrifice of his professional prospects, position and reputation. So essential, indeed, do the Faculty regard personal attention to this branch of medical edu- cation, that they require evidence of at least one session's attend- ance in the dissecting room from all candidates for graduation.
The Department of Surgery comprises daily lectures on the Principles and Practice of Surgery and Clinical instruction. The wards of the Infirmary constantly furnish cases requiring the ap- plication of general remedial treatment or surgical operations. During the last year many minor and several capital operations, including amputations, lithotomy, lithotripsy and others, have
12
been performed. In the lecture room Surgery is taught as a reality, not as an abstraction. With this object in view, those portions of the subject which most concern the practitioner are attended to; and the student is directed when and how to act in the most frequent, and therefore most important, exigencies of his daily professional life. A badly managed fracture, or an un- recognized and unreduced dislocation, is a standing memorial of ignorance and incompetence, from which
