MEDICAL SCHOOLS ADVANCE.
A Single Year’s Increase of Teaching
Stafi—Historical Sketch.
The recent issue of the Yale Medical
School catalogue recalls the early his-
tory of that institution and the story of
its development since its organization
at the beginning of the century. The
Medical School, which is now in its
eighty-fifth year, was the first school
to be organized as a separate depart-
ment of Yale University. In the Fall
of 1810, a charter was granted authoriz-
ing the establishment of a medical
seminary to be known as the Medical
Institution of Yale College. The
School was organized two years later,
and teaching was commenced in the
Fall of 1813. The first professors were
appointed by the College Corporation
from nominations made by the Con-
necticut Medical Society, which was
jointly interested in the management of
the School.
The early instruction consisted of
didactic and clinical lectures and’ dis-
sections during a short Winter course.
The nature of the School and _ its
methods of teaching at once gave it a
recognized position in the medical in-
struction of the time. As years passed,
the curriculum was altered from time
to time to meet the demands of chang-
ing relations between practitioners and
students, and of even greater chang-
in medicine itself. In 1879 the entrance
requirements were largely increased, and
a graded course of study was adopted
covering three years of eight months
each, with additional laboratory in-
struction.
_In 1884 the University assumed en-
tire control of the School through an
agreement with the Medical Society.
The department of the School from that
time on has been marked not only by
an increasing attendance, but also in
the perfecting of the School’s equip-
ment, and by an improved curriculum.
The course of study has recently been
increased again, so that beginning with
the class which entered in 1896, four
years of work will be required before
graduation. The Class of Ninety-Nine
will be the first to graduate under the
new requirement. The erection of a
new Laboratory Building provided new
laboratories for Anatomy, Histology
Pathology, Bacteriology, 5
Chemistry and Physiology.
The growth of the New Haven Hos-
pital and the New Haven Dispensary
has greatly increased the facilities for
clinical instruction, and the students
are required to do a large amount of
personal work in the clinics as assist-
ants to the physicians in charge. The
system of instructing mainly by didac-
tic lectures is no longer followed in the
School, and the curriculum, which con-
sists mainly of recitations, explanatory
lectures, laboratory work and clinical
instruction, is graded to furnish a sys-
tematic presentation of the essentials of
medical study.
