192 Entrance requirement: "High school or equivalent."

Attendance: 17.

Teaching staff: 32, 13 being professors. There are no full-time teachers.

Resources available for maintenance: The school lives on fees, amounting to $2760 (estimated), and on contributions from the faculty.

Laboratory facilities: It occupies a new, well kept building, has a small laboratory for experimental physiology, small separate laboratories for bacteriology, histology, and pathology, a beautiful, though not extensive, collection of pathological specimens, a laboratory for chemistry, a dissecting-room with provision for modeling, and a small library of slight value. Though there are no full-time teachers, there is evidence of active interest in pathology. Post-mortems are abundant and are intelligently used, through a fortunate connection'of the instructor in pathology.

Clinical facilities: In respect to both dispensary and hospital, the clinical facilities are decidedly inadequate.

Date of visit: May, 1909.

SAN FRANCISCO: Population, 355,919.

(7) . Established as such 1872. An organic department of the university. The first and second years' work is given at Berkeley. See (2).

Entrance requirement: Two years of college work, strictly enforced.

Attendance: 36, all but 2 from California.

Teaching staff: 60, of whom 12 are professors. The laboratory courses at Berkeley are given by full-time teachers.

Resources available for maintenance: The department shares the university funds, its budget calling for $33,396. The total receipts from fees are $7004.

Laboratory facilities: The equipment and instruction are of the highest quality. The laboratories, though temporary in structure, are completely fitted up, in charge of high-grade teachers, abundantly provided with assistants and helpers. The sole question to be raised concerns the medical atmosphere, which, in several departments, is not strongly in evidence. In consequence, post-mortem work has not been hitherto cultivated, though abundant opportunities for it exist. The biological point of view prevails. This is not the case with anatomy, the teaching of'which—thoroughly scientific in method and spirit—frankly meets the main purpose of the students.

Clinical facilities: Clinical instruction is given in San Francisco. The university hospital, its main reliance, is small but modern. It contains 75 beds, practically all
