CIRCULAR FOR 1869-70. Circular for 1869-70. The Medical Department of the University of Louisville will enter upon its Thirty-third Annual Session the first Monday in October, 1869. A preliminary course of lectures will commence on the second Monday in September, and continue until the opening of the regular Term. The aim of this series of lectures is the consideration of some important subjects, that cannot be fully taught in the regular Term. The regular Session will open with a public introductory lecture on Monday evening, the 4th of October, and continue five months. College Edifice. The Lecture Rooms, Museum, Cabinet, Laboratory, Library, and Dissecting Rooms are furnished with everything necessary for convenience and instruction. In apparatus, models, drawings, and preparations and specimens for illustration by the various Chairs, the Institution possesses every requisite for thorough medical teaching; and, in view of its perfect equipment, and the ability of its Faculty, the Board feel safe in assuring its friends that it never before presented stronger claims to the confidence and support of the medical profession. Museum. In the departments of Anatomy-human, comparative, and pathological-the collection of specimens, models and preparations, is extensive and varied. The osseous, ligamentous, vascular, nervous, and muscular systems of man are exhibited in numerous preparations that are skillfully made, besides which there are numerous models in wood, plaster and wax, useful in demonstrating to the class. A striking and beautiful part of the collection consists in a series of models, by Auzoux, representing the nervous system, and the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory apparatus of the several families of the animal kingdom. From the Museum of Thibet, in Paris, a splendid series of models has been selected, illustrative of disease in the various parts of the body. The models are executed with remarkable skill, and have been of eminent advantage heretofore in the lectures on Physiology, Pathological Anatomy, Obstetrics, Medicine and Surgery. Library. The Library belonging to the Department contains nearly four thousand volumes, carefully selected. Many of the standard works of the profession may be found in it; and, in addition to these, it embraces the old medical classics, in Latin and Greck; i many rare and costly monographs, in quarto and folio; a large number of volumes in the sciences allied to medicine, many of them elegantly illustrated; numerous expensive plates for illustration of the lectures on healthy and morbid Anatomy, Physiology, Surgery, Materia Medica and Obstetrics; and a full series of a large number of medical journals, American, English and French. Materia Medica. The Cabinet of Materia Medica contains specimens of all the articles treated of in a course of lectures on Materia Medien, arranged in a systematic manner. These have been found to impart much additional interest to the course on this subject. Chemical Apparatus. Upon no department of the Institution have means been more liberally expended than in its Chemical Laboratory; and in this Department it is believed it will bear favorable comparison with |
