CAMBRIDGE, Founded 1257 Medical students are required to enter at one of the seventeen Colleges, or as non- collegiate students, and reside nine terms (nearly three years), during the first part of which time they are generally occupied in the study of Classics, Mathematics, &c; then, having passed the Previous Examina- tion in these subjects, they can pursue the study of Medicine by attending the piac- tice of the Hospital and the Professors' Lectures. This done, they may continue their medical studies in Cambridge, or elsewhere. If it be thought desirable, the student may continue his classical and mathema- tical reading for a longer period than the above arrangement contemplates; and may, in due time, present himself for the Examination in those subjects, whereby he becomes B.A. PEOCEEDINGS IN PHYSIC. M.B. The candidate for M.B. must have re- sided nine terms (nearly three years), have passed the Previous Examination in Classics, Mathematics, &c, and have been engaged five terms in medical study, of which six years must have been in the University. Only four years of medical study are required of those who graduate with honours as B.A. There are three Examinations for M.B. The first may be passed at any time after the Previous Examination; the second after two years of medical study; and the third after the completion of the period of medical study. The first Examination is in Mechanics and Hydrostatics, Chemistry with Heat and Electricity, and Botany. The student must have attended Lectures on Chemistry and Botany. The second Examination is in Elements of Comparative Anatomy, Human Ana- tomy and Physiology, and Pharmacology. Lectures must have been attended on Elements of Comparative Anatomy, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Materia Medica and Pharmacy, and Pathology; also Hos- pital Practice for one year. The third Examination is in Pathology and the Practice of Physic (two papers), Clinical Medicine, and Medical Jurispru- dence. Lectures must have been attended on the Principles and Practice of Physic, Clinical Medicine, Clinical Surgery, Medi- cal Jurisprudence, and Midwifery; also Hospital Practice for three years; and the candidate must have served as Clinical Clerk, or had special charge of patients for six months. After the Examinations have been passed, an Act must be kept. The candidate reads a Thesis composed in English by him- self on some subject approved by the Pro- fessor. He is then questioned in English by the Professor on the subject of the Thesis, and on other subjects in the Faculty of a more general nature. M.D. The candidate can be admitted to the Degree of M.D. in the ninth term (nearly three years) after taking the Degree of M.B. A Master of Arts mny be admitted to the Degree of M.D. at the prescribed period, when he has produced the same cer- tificates and passed the same Examina- tions as are required for the Degree of M.B. j but he is not required to have kept medical terms in the University. An Act has to be kept similar to that required for M.B., and the candidate is re- quired to write a short extempore essay on one of four topics, relating severally to Physiology, Pathology, Practice of Medi- cine, and State Medicine, the selection being made by himself. M.C. The candidate for the Degree of Master in Surgery is required to have passed the Examinations for M.B.; to have attended the Surgical Practice of a Hospital for three years; to have been House-Surgeon or Dresser during six months; to have attended a second course of Lectures on Human Anatomy, one course of Lectures on the Principles and Practice of Surgery,](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b20405777_0022.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
