A fee of four dollars a year is charged to every student in the Law School, for the maintenance of the Stillman Infirmary; and, on the order of a physician, every student will be given, in case of sickness, in return for this fee, a bed in a ward, board, and ordinary nursing for a period not exceeding two weeks in any one academic year. Each student is required to pay ninety dollars of the tuition fee to the Bursar punctually at the beginning of the academic year, without the presentation of a bill. The second instalment, of sixty dollars, is entered upon the first term-bill. The first term-bill is issued January 20, and must be paid on or before February 10. This bill will include, in addition to the second instalment of the tuition fee, such charges as the following: Two-thirds of the year's charges for the use of a College room; Stillman Infirmary fee; Gymnasium locker fee; such incidental charges as can then be determined; charges for gas, and for board at the Harvard Dining Association and the Randall Hall Association, made up to as late a date as practicable. The second term-bill will be issued one week before Commencement, and will contain the charges not included in the first bill. The second term-bill must be paid by all candidates for degrees at least one day before Commencement; and, by all other students, on or before July 25. Students who are candidates for degrees in the middle of the academic year must pay all dues to the University at least one day before the day upon which the degrees are to be voted. When a student's connection with the School is severed, all charges against him must be paid at once. Each student whose dues to the University remain unpaid on the day fixed for their payment is required at once to cease attending lectures or recitations, using the libraries, laboratories, gymnasium, athletic grounds or buildings, boarding at the Harvard Dining Association or at the Randall Hall Association, and making use of any other privileges as a student, until his financial relations with the University have been arranged satisfactorily to the Bursar. Failure to comply with this rule is deemed cause for final separation of the student from the University. DEPARTMENTS UNDER THE CHARGE OF THE FACULTY OF MEDICINE NAMELY THE MEDICAL SCHOOL THE DENTAL SCHOOL The Faculty of Medicine was instituted in 1899, and is invested by the Statutes of the University with the immediate charge of the Medical School, and of the Dental School, each of which schools was before that date under the government of a separate Faculty. For each of these two schools there is an Administrative Board, to which all powers relating to ordinary matters of administration and discipline, except the power to inflict the penalties of dismission and expulsion, are delegated by the Faculty. The Faculty of Medicine makes recommendations to the President and Fellows of Harvard College for the ordinary degrees of Doctor of Medicine, and of Doctor of Dental Medicine. It also has control of the requirements for admission to the two schools in its charge, of courses of instruction, of regulations concerning the choice of studies, and of nominations for fellowships and scholarships.

Three professorships of Medicine were established at the University in the years 1782 and 1783. The first degrees in Medicine were conferred in 1788. Before 1811, the degree conferred upon graduates of the School was that of BACHELOR OF MEDICINE; beginning with 1811, the degree has been DOCTOR OF MEDICINE. In 1810, the lectures given in Medicine were transferred from Cambridge to Boston, where the first MEDICAL COLLEGE was built in 1815. The course of study required in this School for the degree of M.D. is of four years' duration. This requirement was established at the beginning of the year 1892-93. Beginning with the year 1899-1900 a new arrangement of the subjects taught in the first two years was adopted. During the first half of the first year the students devote their time solely to Anatomy and Histology, and during the second half of the first year to Physiology and Physiological and Pathological Chemistry. They devote the first half of the second year to Pathology and Bacteriology, and the remainder of the second year to a variety of subjects which more particularly prepare the student for the clinical work of the third and fourth years. Experience has shown that this logical arrangement of the subjects of the first two years enables a student to concentrate his energies to a much greater advantage than he can when his attention is divided among several subjects. Each correlated group presents sufficient variety to avoid monotony. Another advantage of this method is that it greatly increases the amount of time which can be devoted to each subject. In 1902 certain other changes in the curriculum were adopted, to take effect with the class entering in the autumn of that year. The new course of study is so arranged that the first three years are devoted to prescribed work, and the fourth year entirely to elective courses. A minimum of one thousand hours' work will be required of each fourth-year student; and courses will be offered adapted to the student who wishes to fit himself for a general practitioner, and also suitable courses for those who intend to become specialists or teachers in any department of medicine. A committee of the Faculty will advise students in regard to their selection of courses. The new elective curriculum of the fourth year will begin in the autumn of 1905. A series of written, oral, and practical examinations on all the required subjects of medical instruction are distributed throughout the four years' course of study. Every candidate for the degree of Doctor of Medicine must pass these examinations in a satisfactory manner, and also fulfil all the other requirements enumerated on page 628. The degree of Doctor of Medicine cum laude is given to candidates who obtain an average of 80 per cent. or over, in all the required examinations. Besides the required and elective courses in the regular system of instruction, there have been established numerous optional lecture and laboratory courses which prepare for, or supplement, many of the required subjects. Advanced Courses for Graduates in Medicine and Summer Courses of Instruction in Medicine are offered each year. Graduates in Medicine, if properly qualified for candidacy, may attain the degree of MASTER OF ARTS by one year of graduate study of approved subjects. This degree is administered by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and is subject to the requirements imposed by that Faculty. The present building of the MEDICAL SCHOOL stands at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets, Boston. It was completed in 1883. ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD.

Candidates for admission must present a degree in Arts, Literature, Philosophy, or Science, from a recognized college or scientific school, with the exception of such persons, of suitable age and attainments, as may be admitted by a special vote of the Administrative Board in each All candidates, whether presenting a degree or not, are required to satisfy the Faculty that they have had a course in Theoretical and * The exception above referred to applies only to men who have practically finished a required course for a degree, but for some good and sufficient reason, such, for instance, as wishing to graduate with their class, prefer waiting until a later period for graduation; or to men who, without such a degree, have acquired an equivalent education and training sufficient to enable them to profit by the instruction offered in the School. |
