It might truly be said, in a negative sort of way, that the only thing of interest about the Medical School for the last three weeks, has been the utter absence of everything of interest. Almost nothing breaks the monotonous succession of lectures, recitations, conferences, clinics, and demonstrations. Coming events certainly do cast their shadows before, and the distant shades of the coming Final Examinations are already spurring every member of every class to steady and hard work.
The fourth year students have been blessed with a little variety. For them Dr. Vicery announces a special clinic at the Mass. Gen. Hospital, Dr, Garland commences a parallel course in dispensary work, and Dr. Putnam begins a series of Monday lectures on Nervous Diseases and their treatment. Dr. Rotch has finished his course on Diseases of Children and the clinical work at the Insom Hospital is also over.
Dissecting is practically finished for the year, and another week or two will find the dissecting room almost deserted. Next week Dr. Morris Richardson completes his demonstrations on practical anatomy, making way for Dr. Mixter, who gives a course upon the muscles of the body, especially intended for first year students. In this course, the dissections are made by the second year men, and the muscles dissected are demonstrated and described in detail by the Freshmen. Such work after the manner of the recitations and conferences, is entirely voluntary.
Dr. Gauneth's special course in Pathology has commenced, and those of the second year who have been able to avail themselves of its delights are mentally congratulating one another.
