many hours per week as does a Major; a half Major course (Mj), one-half the time per week. 3. The curriculum. a) Except in the case of certain students with special preparation (see below, 4) all the work of the medical course is prescribed for those who wish to receive credit for the first two years' work in Medicine. For students entering after June 16, 1905, it consists of the following courses:* (1) CHEMISTRY (Toxicology): 1⁄2 Major (19 †). (2) ANATOMY: 71⁄2 Majors, as follows: Human Anatomy (Dissecting), 4 Majors (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). Splanchnology, Histology, and Cytology, 11⁄2 Majors (10, 11 and 12). Embryology, 1 Major (Zoology 20, or 21). Neurology, 1 Major (Neurology 3). (3) PHYSIOLOGY: 61⁄2 Majors, as follows: Physiology, 31⁄2 Majors (12, 13, 14). Physiological Chemistry, 11⁄2 Majors (20).

Pathology, 2 Majors (2A and 2B). b) For students who matriculated in Medicine before June 16, 1905, the curriculum will be as published in last year's Announcement. 4. Election of medical courses.-Students are permitted to elect the work of the first two years of Medicine provided they have had the following preparation: 18 Majors (approximately two years) of college work in the University of Chicago, or an equivalent amount done in some other university or college of good standing. This work must have included 1 Major of Physics, 3 Majors of Inorganic Chemistry (or 2 Majors of Inorganic Chemistry in addition to one year of highschool Chemistry), 1 Major of Organic Chemistry, 1 Major of General Biology with laboratory work, and a reading knowledge of German and French. In electing his work the student should bear in mind: a) The right of election must be confirmed in writing in advance by the Dean. b) His registration for each Quarter must receive the approval of the Dean. c) That the prerequisites for any course must have been satisfied before the course can be elected. d) That a minimum amount of work in the several branches is required for graduation in Medicine. 5. Arrangement of courses.-The order of courses has been arranged in such a way as to insure for the student beginning his medical studies with any single Quarter of the year, a complete annual course during any three consecutive Quarters; but students are advised to begin their medical work proper with the Autumn Quarter, if possible. ARRANGEMENT OF COURSES FOR SIX QUARTERS The following table shows the arrangement of the courses for the six Quarters of work comprised in the first two years of Medicine and the recommended sequence of studies. No student, however, is obliged to follow the order given, or to take full work in any Quarter. Credit will be given for every course satisfactorily completed. FIRST NINE MAJORS OF WORK (Freshman year of the Medical Course) Autumn Quarter, 1904 The following other courses are given in this Quarter and are open to students with advanced standing and the necessary prerequisites: Bacteriology, Physiology, Analytical Chemistry, laboratory work in Organic Chemistry, Human Anatomy, and advanced work in all the Departments. Winter Quarter, 1905 Dissection (Human). Value Physiological Chemistry.. Anatomy 12 1⁄2 Mj Splanchnology, Histology, and Cytology.... Dissection (Human). Anatomy 10 and 11 Anatomy 1 or 2 and 4 or 5 1 Mj 2 Mj Other courses given are: Analytical and Organic Chemistry, Physiology, Pathology, and advanced work in all the Departments. *Detailed statements concerning the courses are given below under the various departments of instruction. They should be consulted in every case in regard to equivalent courses which may be submitted for those whose numbers are given in the above table. †The numbers in parentheses refer to the course numbers in the corresponding Department. The Fellowships and Scholarships of the University are open to medical students on the same conditions as to other students of the University. A complete statement of these conditions, and of the value of the Fellowships and Scholarships, are given on pp. 79, 80, 82, 84 of this Annual Register. FELLOWSHIPS, HOSPITAL INTERNES, AND PRIZES FELLOWSHIPS The following Fellowships, each yielding an income of $400 annually, are awarded each year: one in Chemistry, two in Pathology, one in Medicine, and one in Surgery. The Fellowships are awarded to graduates in medicine recognized as in every way best qualified for the positions. Each Fellow devotes the year succeeding his appointment to original investigation under the direction of the Professor of the Department in question in the laboratories of the College. He is required to devote some time of each day in the college year to the instruction of students, and has opportunity to attend the clinics and pursue other lines of collegiate study. HOSPITAL INTERNES Positions as internes, through a competitive examination held by the respective hospital staffs, are open each spring to graduates of Rush Medical College in the following Chicago hospitals: the Presbyterian, the Cook County, the Michael Reese, the St. Joseph's, the St. Elizabeth's, the St. Luke's, the Augustana, the Chicago, the Alexian Brothers', the Passavant, the Chicago Policlinic, the German, the Norwegian, the Illinois Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Baptist, St. Anthony's, the Swedish, the Chicago Maternity, and in a much larger list of institutions outside of the city of Chicago which make appointments from the roll of qualified students of the Senior class in Rush Medical College. The occupants of these positions receive their board and lodging, and acquire experience in every department of practical medicine and surgery. PRIZES THE BENJAMIN RUSH PRIZE A medal of the value of $50 is given by the Faculty at each Commencement to that member of the gradu. ating class who passes the highest examination in every department of Medicine represented that year in the examination for the degree. THE DANIEL BRAINARD PRIZE A medal is annually given by the Faculty to the student who makes and presents to the College Museum the best accepted dissection in Surgical Anatomy. THE FREER PRIZES These prizes are derived from the income of a fund presented to the College by the late Nathan M. Freer, of the Board of Trustees, as a memorial of the names of two honored members of his family long identified with the highest interests of this institution. The J. W. FREER Medal and the sum of $75 are awarded as a first prize to that member of the Junior class who presents the best thesis involving original investigation on the part of the student. A second prize of $25 is awarded to the next successful competitor. The theses must be submitted to the Dean of Students on or before the first of April, 1906. The L. C. P. FREER Medal and the sum of $75 are offered for the year 1905 as a first prize to that member of the Sophomore class who presents the best thesis involving original investigation on the part of the student. A second prize of $25 will be awarded to the next most successful of the competitors. This prize will be competed for by students in the medical courses of the University. The theses must be placed in the hands of the Dean of Students by April, 1906. THE EDWARD L. HOLMES PRIZE In honor of the late Edward L. Holmes, for many years the Professor of Diseases of the Eye and Ear in Rush Medical College, and for several years its President, and who during his long career rendered distinguished services to the institution, the Trustees have established the EDWARD L. HOLMES Prize for original research, to consist of a table and Scholarship for one season, at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Holl, Mass. This prize is offered in recognition of the great service which is rendered to the medical sciences by research work in biology. The prize will not be offered for 1905-6. MEDICAL SOCIETIES The fact that a very large number of medical men practice in Chicago has led to the development of a number of medical societies, general and special. Among the more interesting to medical students in the early years of their course is the Chicago Pathological Society. A large number of clinical societies, notably the Chicago Medical Society and its various branches, will interest the student, particularly in the later years of his course. The University of Chicago Medical Club meets on the first and third Monday evenings of each month in the lecture-room of the Physiological Laboratory at 8:15 sharp. At the meetings of this society the advanced work and original research of the various laboratories will be reported, and topics of general medical and scientific interest will from time to time be discussed. The meetings will be open to medical students. The society holds no meetings during the Summer Quarter. COURSES GIVEN IN THE SUMMER QUARTER In the Summer Quarter, 1905, the following courses for medical and pre-medical students are announced (for further information see the Quarterly Announcements, Summer Quarter, 1905, and the departmental statements in this Register): General Physics (1A, 2, and 3), General Inorganic Chemistry (1, 2, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B), General Organic Chemistry (17, 18, 20, 21, 22), Qualitative Analysis (6 and 7), Quantitative Analysis (8 and 9), Bacteriology (1A, 4), Embryology (21), Histology, Splanchnology (11A), Osteology (6A), Physiology (13, 15, 21, 43, 44, 51, and 2), Neurology (3A, 6A, 7, 11), Pathology 2, and advanced courses in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy, Neurology, and Pathology. Special courses for physicians are given in Anatomy and Pathology. Supervision of work.- In addition to the regular supervision of the Dean, the grades of medical students are reviewed each Quarter by the Committee on Promotions, representing all the Departments giving medical instruction of the first two years. If a student's work is poor, the committee may revise or limit his registration, and, if deemed necessary, may request his withdrawal from the medical courses. Certificate of completion of the first 18 Majors.On completion of his first two years in Medicine, the work of each student is reviewed by the Committee on Promotions. If his work is considered satisfactory, a certificate of completion of the first 18 Majors of medical studies is issued. If his work is considered unsatisfactory or doubtful, the committee may require further work in one or more Departments, or subject the student to such examination as may be deemed necessary. No student is admitted to the Junior class in Rush Medical College without the abovementioned certificate. Students with conditions in work of the first two years are sometimes permitted to proceed with their clinical studies, but such permission does not constitute admission to the Junior class. THE DEGREES OF S.B., A.B., AND PH.B. 1. MEDICAL WORK IN THE COURSES FOR THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE The first two years' work in Medicine consists almost entirely of courses in pure science, which are open as electives to all candidates for a Bachelor's degree at the University, who have had the necessary preliminary work in science. Medical work in the course for the degree of the Bachelor of Science.-A student who has completed the work of the Junior College of Science (two years) at the University, or the second year at a college of good standing, and whose credits are accepted as a full equivalent of the corresponding courses at the University, may enter the Senior College (first year) at the University and take the first two years' work in Medicine as the third and fourth years of his Bachelor's course; and provided he also takes, either in an extra Quarter or as extra work during three Quarters, the specified required courses (three courses in History and Philosophy) of the Senior College of Science, or has already taken these courses as electives in the Junior College, he may receive the degree of S.B. on the completion of the second year's work in Medicine. For the completion of the required work for the degree of S.B. and of the first two years in Medicine, a student will need, altogether, four years, or four years and a quarter, after entering the Junior College (Freshman year), or two years, or two years and a quarter, after entering the Senior College (Junior year), depending on the amount of work he carries per Quarter and the nature of the work he presented for entrance. Candidates for the S.B. degree who intend to study Medicine are strongly advised to take in their first two years at college (Freshman and Sophomore years) a large amount of work in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, as giving the best foundation for the study of Medicine (see below recommended course of study for students preparing to study Medicine).† Medical work in the course for the Bachelor of Arts or Philosophy.-A student who has completed the work of the Junior College of Arts or Literature (two years) at the University of Chicago, or the Sophomore year at a college of good standing, whose credits are accepted by the University as a full equivalent of the corresponding courses, may enter the Senior College (third year) at the University and take from one to one and a half years' work in Medicine as part of his Bachelor's course, and, provided he also takes the required work of the Senior College of Arts or Literature (four courses), receive the degree of A.B. or Ph.B. on the completion of two years' work in college. The remainder of the medical work of the first two years may be taken after graduation, and with all the privileges of graduate students. For the completion of the required work for the degree of A.B. or Ph.B., and of the first two years' work in Medicine, a student will need from four and a half to five years after entering the first year of the Junior College, or two and a quarter to three years after entering the Senior College (Junior year) of the University of Chicago. Candidates for the A.B. or Ph.B. degree who intend to study Medicine are strongly advised to take in their first three years at college a large amount of work in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology, as giving the best foundation for the study of Medicine (see below recommended course of study for students preparing to study Medicine.) For information in detail regarding the requirements for the Bachelor's degrees at the University of Chicago see pp. 70, 71 of this Register. II.
