COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS: (CIRCULAR.) ; Ixnqurniss being frequently made, by persons resident at a distance, relative to the course of studies, and requi- sites for graduation, in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the University of New-York, as also concerning other matters interesting to the Students who resort to this School of Medicine, the Trustees of the College, with a view of removing the inconvenience of answering so many individual applications, and of gratifying those whom it may concern, have ordered ‘the present CrjcuLar to be published for general information. The College opens, annually, on the first Monday in November, and the several courses begin, successively, that week, after the Introductory Lectures of the respective Professors. The Session closes the last day of February, LECTURES IN THE FORENOON, Theory and Practice of Physic, by Dr. Hosacx, from nine to ten o’clock, daily.

It is expected that a candidate for graduation shall have attained the age of twenty-one years. On or before the first of February, the candidate shall make known his name and intention to one of the Profes- sors, by whom he will be informed of the time and place of examination. This first examination is by the board of Professors only: it is private and confidential, A second examination is held before the board of Trustees, to whom, on this occasion, an appeal lies, and before whom there is offered an opportunity of redress, if a candidate think himself in any wise aggrieved. The names of those who have been approved by the Trustees are forwarded to the Regents of the University, wha return an equal number of Diplomas, under the signature of the Chancellor. They are afterwards signed by the Professors. ( By the 20th of March, the candidate shall deliver to one of the Professors a Dissertation on some Medical Subject. He is publicly examined on the same, in the College Hall, the first Monday in April, and may publish, with the ap- probation of one of the Professors, either in the English, French, or Latin Languages. The Degrees are conferred, by the President, the next day, at a public Commencement. From the provision thus made, it will be seen, that the various Courses of Lectures, delivered in the College, are se arranged, as to constitute a complete system of Medical Education. The Board of Trustees, however, think it incum- bent on them to state, that it has been their unremitted endeavour to increase, as far as practicable, the means of in- struction, and to render the advantages enjoyed by the College, at least equal to those of any other similar establish- ment in the United States. The Anatomical Museum, of large extent, has been augmented by some rare and valuable preparations, and very important additions have been made to the Chemical Apparatus and Laboratory. The Cabinet of Natural History has also been greatly enriched by numerous specimens, native and foreign; and in the illustrations of the Geology and Mineralogy of the American States, is peculiarly rich,
