Rh building. It is well equipped for undergraduate instruction in chemistry and pathology; inadequately for physiology and bacteriology. A large room with ample material provides for dissecting.

Clinical facilities: The school has the use of about 122 beds in a hospital which it built and has leased to the Sisters of Charity; it has access to several other institutions besides.

A suite of poorly kept rooms is set aside for a dispensary. The attendance is ample.

Date of visit: March, 1909.

(5) . Organized 1882. An independent institution.

Entrance requirement: Less than a high school education.

Attendance: 22.

Teaching staff: 31, of whom 18 are professors, 13 of other grade.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting $2000.

Laboratorgy facilities: Small laboratories, scrupulously well kept, show a desire to do the best possible with meager resources: pathology, bacteriology, embryology, chemistry, and anatomy are thus taught.

Clinical facilities: These are quite insufficient: across the street from the school is a hospital with 17 beds; supplementary material is obtained at several institutions through staff connections.

A suite of rooms in the college building is devoted to dispensary purpose. There is a fair attendance.

Date of visit: March, 1909.

(6) . Organized 1898. An independent institution.

Entrance requirement: Nominal.

Attendance: 95. Almost one-half the school is in the senior class.

Teaching staff: 39, of whom 21 are professors, 18 of other grade

Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $7460 (estimated).

Laboratory facilities: The school building is wretchedly dirty. Its so-called laboratories are of the worst existing type: one neglected and filthy room is set aside for bacteriology, pathology, and histology: a few dirty test-tubes stand around in pans and old cigar-boxes. The chemical laboratory is perhaps equal to the teaching of elementary chemistry. The dissecting-room is foul. This description completely exhausts its teaching facilities. There is no museum or library and no teaching accessories of any sort whatsoever.
