![Aisri<rou]srcEMEisrT. 1873. The Twenty-third Annual Session of the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania will open Thursday, October 3d, 1872, and continue twenty-two weeks. In making this Announcement, the Corporators and Faculty are glad to be able to record the increase of their facilities for extended medical education, as well as the growing prosperity of the Institution. The Progressive Course of study introduced three years ago has yielded most satisfactory results. In the College Announcement, March 1869, the plan was proposed in these words : A demand has for a long time existed, both in Europe and in this country, for a system of progressive medical education. The plan now prevalent involves the great evil of cramming too many branches at once. For thorough preparation for professional duties, not only is prolongation of attendance at college and hospital im- portant, but a better distribution of time and studies is needed. With this view, we propose to offer to our students the option of adopting a progressive course. Hereafter, those attending for three years or more, may devote their time altogether during the first year, and in part during the second, to the fundamental branches of Anatomy, Physiology and Hygiene, and Chemistry, theo- retical and practical. 6](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21482706_0007.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
