    Notes: COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS. Established 1872. An independent institution.
    Entrance requirement: Less than a high school education.
    Attendance: 252
    Teaching staff: 59, of whom 21 are professors, 38 of other grade. One teacher devotes his entire time to medical instruction.
    Resources available for maintenance: Fees, amounting to $39,000.
    Laboratory facilities: Ordinary working laboratories are provided for bacteriology, histology, and pathology, including surgical pathology; the chemical laboratory provides satisfactorily for general chemistry. The dissecting-room is fair, as far as it goes. There is no experimental pharmacology and no student work in experimental physiology. The museum consists of several hundred specimens; the library, of which there is a librarian in charge, of perhaps 1500 volumes and a few current periodicals. The undeveloped character of the laboratories is due, (1) to the payment of faculty dividends; (2) to the application of current fee income to the discharge of building debts.
    Clinical facilities: The school completely controls the adjoining hospital, of which some 210 beds, including a maternity ward, are available for teaching. Ward-teaching on the section plan is in use. The clinical laboratory is open to the students.
    The dispensary occupies an excellent suite of rooms; the attendance is ample.
