    School of Medicine, SZISSIOKT 187S-V9. The Seventy-first Annual Course of Lectures of the School of Medicine in the University of Maryland will begin on Tuesday, the ist of October, 1878, and will continue live months. During the session there is a vacation from December 25th to January ist, inclusive, and on Thanksgiving Day. A course of Lectures introductory to the regular session will commence on September 23rd, 1878. In the plan of instruction pursued in this School Clinical teaching has a prominent and important place assigned to it, and, while careful attention is given to the elementary and theoretical subjects, the great advantages for Clinical study and demonstration pos¬ sessed by the University of Maryland enable the Faculty to commend it in an especial manner to those who are seeking a practical knowledge of disease before engaging in the active duties of professional life. • * The University Hospital, otherwise known as the Baltimore Infirmary, is the largest institution for the care of the sick in the city, and being the property of the Faculty, and under their exclusive control, it is maintained and conducted solely as the Clinical Department of the University of Maryland. In conse¬ quence of its being in the immediate neighborhood of the College, students attend the Clinical instruction without the loss of time which is incurred in visiting distant Hospitals. The operating Amphitheatre, in which all the Clinical Lectures are delivered, is within the Hospital building, and of easy access from the wards. A large addition to the Hospital has been made
