Rh Teaching staff: 34, of whom 19 are professors.

Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $11,400 (estimated).

Laboratory facilities: The school occupies a neatly kept building, in which are provided one poorly equipped laboratory in common for pathology and bacteriology, and another, similar in character, for chemistry and urinalysis, and an anatomical room. It possesses neither museum nor library. Instruction at the school building is limited to lectures, recitations, and "laboratory" work.

Clinical facilities: No "treatment" is administered in the school building. For that the students resort in their last year to the Chelsea Hospital, a pay institution of 10 to 15 beds, more than one hour's journey from the college building. Pathology is taught in the same year.

Date of visit: October, 1909.
