  Notes: BALTIMORE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
  The Hospital is connected with the College, and will supply the students with all the clinical advantages. In the wards every variety of disease and injury in treated, so that the students have ample opportunity for bedside instruction, making this one of the most practical schools.The Faculty desire to particularly call the attention of students to the superior advantages they have in hospital practice. They are invited and are expected to attend with the physician in charge, during his visit to through the wards, thereby practically making diagnoses of diseases at the commencement of their studies. In surgery, they act as assistants, acquiring the knowledge and use of instruments, applying bandages, and administering anesthetics, as well as becoming experienced in surgical operations, which are varied, and probably more extensive than in any other hospital in the country.

  Notes: The College and Hospital buildings are situated on North Bond, near Baltimore Street, in a section of the city replete with clinical material for dispensary and hospital purposes. Although these buildings have been sufficiently extensive and commodious during the past history of the University, they have now been found inadequate to meet our increasing demands, and during the present year vast and desirable improvements have been made since the last session. The hospital has been entirely reconstructed and many new wards and private rooms added. Operating rooms have been provided for the surgeons. Chemical, physiological and pathological laboratories have been added, affording every facility for these branches. The lecture-rooms have been admirably arranged and furnished with folding chairs and all other conveniences which may be required. The entire building is supplied with steam heating apparatus.

  Notes: The session of 1896-7 was the most successful one in the history of the college, and the faculty are stimulated and encouraged to such an extent that new college and hospital buildings are in contemplation and will be an accomplished feat in the very near future.

  Notes: The development of the body, as well as the mind, is now an ackowledged requisite. Universities are generally recognizing the wisdom of encouraging athletics, and including them in their regular curriculum. Physical culture will, therefore, receive necessary attention in the Baltimore University, School of Medicine but not to an extent to interfere with regular medical studies. Outdoor sports will be excouraged [sic] by the Faculty, and football and baseball clubs will be formed immediately upon the opening of the school. The University owns a complete outfit for football, and it will be placed at the disposal of clubs during the session.
