being a practitioner. There is no museum beyond necessary specimens for pathological work. There is a library at the College Club. Students in dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine mingle in a number of classes. Student assistants are freely used. Except in bacteriology, little or no effort is made to cultivate original scientific activity; great stress is laid on effective drill.
Clinical facilities: The school has entire control of its own hospital, of 180 available beds, which is in close proximity to the other buildings. The Maternity Hospital is near by. Ward and section methods are in use. Classes are also held in the usual manner at other hospitals.
The dispensary attendance is large.
Date of visit: March, 1909.

The dissecting-room is in bad condition. There is a small museum and a library of several thousand volumes of miscellaneous character, but no other teaching accessories.
