Operation for cataract.* It is obvious that the privilege of gratuitous admission to so extensive a course of medical and surgical practice is r.n advantage not usually attainable in medical schools, and one of the highest importance which can be offered during the period of preparation for the medical profession. It may be proper to add, that the cleanliness, punctuality and order observed at the Massachusetts Hospital, the regular and daily attendance of the physician and surgeon, and the introduction of the various kinds of apparatus and modern improvements, which are calculated to increase the power of the medical and chirurgical art ; cannot fail to promote, in a high degree, the benefit, not only of the subjects of the house, but of those who study the pheno- mena and management of their diseases. It has been the aim of the professors to encourage industry in their pupils, and to ensure a competent know- ledge of medicine, both theoretical and practical, before conferring their testimonials of competency to enter the profession. And it has hitherto been their good fortune * Out of about one hundred surgical cases in the Hospital last year, only two patients died ; and these from the violence of the injuries received before admission. 13 to be attended by a class of students, alike distinguished by their preparatory academic acquirements, and by their correct and gentlemanlike deportment. Two prizes of $50 each are regularly offered for the best medical dissertations, by a committee of the Univer- sity ; and the premiums have been annually awarded to young physicians and medical students. A society of students and others, possessing a valuable library, meet regularly for medical discussion and improvement. The benefactor of both these establishments is Ward Nicholas Boylston, Esq. a gentleman highly distinguished by his liberality in the cause of medical science. To students who wish to avail themselves of advan- tages in the collateral and preparatory studies, a summer residence at Cambridge is recommended ; where they may attend lectures on Natural Philosophy, Botany, Mineralogy, Anatomy, Chemistry, the Arts, Belles Lettres, and Ancient and Modern Languages, &c. At this place is the largest library in the United States ; the best public botanic garden, now under the direction of Mr. Nuttall; a most valuable and complete philosophic apparatus, used in the lectures of Professor Farrar ; a cabinet of minerals, and a chemical apparatus, extensive in their kind ; a suite of Italian wax models in anatomy; and whatever is necessary for illustrating the elements of the physical sciences. Probably no place in the United States has collected so many of the useful aids of science, as this ancient and distinguished seminary. GENTLEMEN ATTENDING THE IN 1823—1824.
