In making our third announcement all that pertains to preceptors 
 has been stricken out, and it will be, our aim to follow as closely as 
 possible the curriculum of study as given in subsequent pages of this 
 announcement. 
 
 Such a course becomes essential in order to do anything like justice 
 to the large number of subjects naturally arising in this department 
 of knowledge, and also in view of the great demand for a higher 
 medical education in this country. 
 
 Dr. McKee, who for many years has been Superintendent of 
 Health for Wake county, will give, in addition to his regular course 
 of lectures, an occasional lecture upon Public Health and Hygiene. 
 
 Dr. Haywood, fora long time Physician to the North Carolina Deaf 
 and Dumb and the Blind Asylum, in his course of lectures upon the 
 Principles of Medicine, will consider these in their connection with 
 individual diseases, and the latter will be treated of with special ref¬ 
 erence to prophylaxis, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. As far 
 as possible cases exemplifying the different diseases will be presented 
 to the class, and special attention will be given to afford the student 
 as much practice as possible in Physical Diagnosis. 
 
 Dr. Knox brings to his department a large experience gained in 
 some of the best hospitals in this country. 
 
 BUILDINGS. 
 
 Through the very liberal donations of the numerous friends of the 
 institution, and especially of Judson W. Leonard, of Hampden, Mass., 
 jand other members of the family, after whom this department is 
 named, the President and Trustees of Shaw University have been 
 enabled to meet a long felt want of the colored people and to estab¬ 
 lish this new department of the University. 
 
 There have been erected two large brick buildings for the especial 
 accommodation of this department. One of these, the Leonard 
 Medical Building, is an imposing structure of beautiful architectural 
 proportions, which adorns the site donated by the North Carolina 
 
8 
 
 Annual Announcement 
 
 Legislature. This building contains the lecture rooms, amphitheatre, 
 laboratory, dissecting rooms, &c., and has been fitted up at great 
 expense. It is intended that this shall afford every facility to the 
 student for prosecuting his studies. 
 
 During the summer a building for hospital purposes will be erected, 
 and will be ready for occupancy by the first of November. It is in¬ 
 tended that this shall be large enough to accommodate at least twenty- 
 five patients, and will furnish the advanced students an admirable op¬ 
 portunity for clinical instruction. 
 
 The other building, the Medical Dormitory, contains rooms to ac_ 
 commodate sixty students. This will afford the young men a pleasant 
 home. 
 
 APPARATUS. 
 
 It is the intention of the Faculty to procure everything in the line 
 of apparatus that may be necessary for obtaining a higher knowledge 
 of medicine. The Chemical Laboratory will be fitted up with all 
 necessary appliances for a practical course in Chemistry. In the de¬ 
 partment of Anatomy and Physiology, already quite a number of the 
 Auzoux Anatomical Models (the finest made) have been imported 
 from Paris, and others will be added from time to time. During the 
 past year we have greatly added to our list of models and in the 
 matter of chemical apparatus. Besides these, there are many other 
 preparations and models which will be increased as occasion requires. 
 Nothing by which the student can be profited will be omitted. 
 
 The school has just received a fine Microscope and an excellent 
 Magic Lantern, which will be of the greatest service in illustrating 
 minute Anatomy. 
 
 COURSE OF STUDY. 
 
 Appreciating as we do the need of colored physicians thoroughly 
 qualified for their peculiar work among their people, it will be the 
 aim of the Faculty and Trustees of this institution to graduate none 
 but those showing themselves possessed of such knowledge as will 
 fully equip them for a successful professional life. Believing that a 
 graded course of study will be the one best adapted to give students 
 
Leonard Medical School. 
 
 9 
 
 the requisite knowledge, it has been deemed best that a course of 
 study of foiu-years' duration should be established. 
 
 Dr. W. W. lv een, of Philadelphia, one of our Trustees, an eminent 
 physician, and a firm friend of the school, says in the Medical Nexus 
 in regard to the wisdom of this course of study : “They [the Faculty] 
 have wisely decided that, in view of the limited early education of the 
 colored people, the medical course shall be four years, both to give a 
 thorough graded course, and the opportunity to study Latin and other 
 branches in the academic department. If the colored man is to enter 
 medicine, he must expect just what the white man does—a fair fight 
 and no favors. If inferior in education and skill, he will go to the 
 bottom ; if superior, he ought to go to the top.” 
 
 It is an especial aim to be thorough, and no student will receive a 
 degree unless he can pass a satisfactory examination in all the 
 branches pursued in the four years course. 
 
 The students will be divided into four classes, according to the 
 number of years’ study. 
 
 Students who may perchance come from other schools will be clas¬ 
 sified according to their previous study and medical knowledge, as 
 ascertained by examination. 
 
 ORDER OF STUDIES. 
 
 FOR FOUR YEARS. 
 
 For the First Year —Anatomy, Physiology, General Chemistry, 
 and Materia Medica. 
 
 For the Second Year —Practical Anatomy, Medical Chemistry, 
 Physiology," Pathological Anatomy, Practice of Medicine, and 
 Surgery. 
 
 F OR the Third Year —Therapeutics, Obstetrics, Theory and Prac¬ 
 tice of Medicine, and Surgery. 
 
 For the Fourth Year —Oppthalmology, Otology, Dermatology, 
 Syphilis, Laryngology, Diseases of the Nervous System, Dis¬ 
 eases of Women, Diseases of Children, Operative Surgery, 
 Forensic Medicine. 
 
 It is intended that clinical methods of instruction shall be pursued 
 as far as material will allow. 
 
 2 
 
IO 
 
 A nniial A nnouncemerit 
 
 Examination of patients will be made and surgical operations be 
 performed before the class free of charge. 
 
 A Dispensary has been established where the students can have the 
 opportunity of seeing patients treated, and also of themselves learn¬ 
 ing to dispense medicine. This will make the students practical men, 
 such as can successfully cope with disease at the bedside. 
 
 TERMS OF ADMISSION. 
 
 Young men intending to apply for admission to this school, must 
 be at least eighteen years of age, and will be required to pass a pre¬ 
 liminary examination sufficient to show their fitness to enter upon the 
 study of medicine, unless they can furnish a certificate of theirj'pre- 
 vious standing in school from some principal or president of a reputa¬ 
 ble institution of learning. 
 
 PRELIMINARY COURSE. 
 
 For the benefit of such students as wish to enter upon the study of 
 medicine, and yet lack the required preparation, arrangements have 
 been made so that they can take a two years’ course, which is pre¬ 
 liminary to the regular course. This will include instruction in 
 Latin, Botany, Physics, Zoology, Chemistry, Physiology, and the use 
 of the microscope. These branches will enable the student to pursue 
 with greater facility the study of the Medical Sciences. 
 
 EXAMINATIONS AND GRADUATION. 
 
 The following will be the order of examinations in the Graded 
 Course : At the end of first year, in General Chemistry and Materia 
 Medica ; at end of second, on Anatomy, Physiology, and Medical 
 Chemistry ; at end of third, on Therapeutics, Obstetrics, the Princi¬ 
 ples and Practice of Medicine, and Surgery ; at end of fourth, on the 
 special branches pursued during that year. 
 
 The examinations will be written as well as oral, and will be marked 
 on a scale of one Hundred. A failure to receive sixty per cent, in any 
 one branch, will require that study to be repeated the next year, and 
 the student to be re-examined in the same at close of that year. 
 
 Every candidate for graduation must be at least twenty-one years 
 
Leonard Medical School. 
 
 11 
 
 of age, and must furnish satisfactory evidence of good moral charac¬ 
 ter. lie shall have attended the four years graded course, or its 
 equivalent, if he comes from another school. He shall be required 
 to dissect the entire cadaver. He shall present to the Faculty, at 
 such a time before graduation as they may appoint, an original thesis 
 upon some medical subject, the graduation fee to accompany the 
 same. Satisfactory examinations must be passed in all branches of 
 medicine before the Faculty in the manner laid down in the first part 
 of this section, and he must receive a general average of not less than 
 seventy-five per cent, in all the branches. 
 
 If a candidate fail to pass he may have a second trial, which shall 
 be final ; failing in this, his graduation fee shall be returned to him 
 and he may try again at the next annual examination, after having 
 
 taken another course of lectures in the branches in which he is deficient.

 the Industrial Department. 
 
 The students of this department may enjoy all the benefits of the 
 University Library, also all the lectures and general exercises of the 
 other departments. 
 
 SCHOLARSHIPS. 
 
 For the assistance of needy and meritorious young men, general 
 scholarships from thirty to sixty dollars have been established. The 
 late Judson W. Leonard, of Hampden, Mass., left a bequest of six 
 thousand dollars to the President of the University, Rev. H. M. 
 Tupper, as Trustee, to be used as he may deem best in the education 
 of the colored people. After due consideration, it has been judged 
 best to invest the funds, the interest to be used in scholarships for 
 deserving young men who desire to study medicine. This fund will 
 furnish at least five scholarships of sixty dollars each, which will be 
 known as the Leonard Medical Scholarships. 
 
 During the past session scholarships have been furnished by C. F, 
 Linde, Orange, N. J.; Hon. Elijah Shaw, Wales, Mass.; John D. 
 Rockfellow, New York City. Also from the John F. Slater Fund. 
 
 In addition to this, assistance has been given in the purchase of 
 apparatus by James Pyle, New York City, Russell Jennings, Deep 
 River, Conn., and also from the John F. Slater Fund. 
 
 Young men desirous of availing themselves of the benefits of these 
 scholarships will, during the summer, furnish the President of the 
 Faculty satisfactory evidence that they are persons possessed of good 
 moral character, of having sufficient preliminary education, and of 
 being actually in need of assistance. 
 
 PRIZES. 
 
 Two prizes were offered by the Professor of Anatomy to those 
 young men who showed the greatest proficiency in this branch of 
 medicine. Mr. H. H. Hines, of Rocky Mount, N, C., received the 
 first, and Mr. L. A. Scruggs, of Liberty, Va., the second.

 Those in preliminary studies will enter the regular course in the Fall. 
 In addition to these, there have b£en quite a number of applicants 
 from other institutions of learning, so that the prospects for the next 
 regular class are good. Students desiring to enter upon the study of 
 medicine, will do well to enter the preliminary course, if they feel 
 that they are not sufficiently ^advanced to begin the studies of the 
 regular course. 
 
inandal imondiHon. 
 
 1 he important work of founding the Leonard Medical School in 
 connection with Shaw University, has been steadily going forward 
 for the last four years, and the success which has attended the effort 
 calls for devout thanksgiving to the Bestower of all good ; and yet 
 continued effort must be put forth in order to meet the increased 
 wants of this department of instruction. Twenty additional scholar¬ 
 ships, of $60 each, are needed for the ensuing year ; also funds to 
 complete the fitting up of the Chemical Laboratory and the purchase 
 of such apparatus as is needed in imparting medical instruction. 
 
 The President of the Institution takes pleasure in announcing to 
 Northern friends, who have rendered such valuable assistance in the 
 past, that the future of the Medical School is full of hope. We have 
 at the beginning established a four years’ course in order to insure 
 the necessary training, and guard against graduating men imperfectly 
 educated in the different branches of medicine. While a two or 
 three years’ course would doubtless at first have secured a larger 
 attendance of students, yet in the end a four years’ course will insure 
 thoroughness that will give confidence and confer lasting benefits. 
 
 It is also most gratifying that the Medical Faculty are men of 
 talent and fully alive to all the bearings and varied interests con¬ 
 nected with this effort to educate colored men as physicians.
