A course of exercises and manipulations, in which the student, under the direction of the professor, will prepare the important gases and other bodies, perform the chemical processes of the Pharmacopoeias, and practise the detection of the most important poisons.

THIRD YEAR.

Practice of Surgery-Three days in the week: First Part.-Principles of surgery; Theory of inflammation; Organic results of morbid action of the nervous and absorbant systems; Organic changes of tissues; Description of the injuries and diseases of the several surgical regions, and their treatment. Second Part.-Special and operative surgery; Different methods of performing surgical operations demonstrated on the recent subject.

Midwifery-Three times in the week:

Physiology of reproduction; Formation and development of the embryo; Peculiarities of the foetus; Pregnancy and parturition; their physiology, pathology, and treatment; Puerperal diseases, their nature and treatment; The management of infants in health and disease.

Clinical Surgery-Six months:

Comparative Anatomy-Three days in the week, for three months:

Principles of comparative classification; Structure, modifications, and relations of the special organs of life throughout the animal kingdom in general, together with their comparative actions and mode of development.

FOURTH YEAR.

Practice of Medicine-Three days in the week: Part 1.-Idiopathic fevers and other diseases not known to be the results of local inflammation. Part 2.-The physiology and diseases, both organic and functional, of the nervous system, and of the organs of circulation, respiration, and digestion. Part 3.-Diseases of the skin, and other diseases not referrible to either of the foregoing classes. Exercises in the diagnosis of disease weekly in the hospital of the workhouse.

Medical Jurisprudence:

The special arrangements for the complete course of hygiene, toxicology, and legal medicine, will be given in the next Calendar.

Clinical Medicine-Six months.

The detailed arrangements with regard to the courses of clinical instruction in Medicine, Surgery, and Midwifery, will be decided on by the Senate of the University, and will appear in the next Calendar; and the provisional arrangements now acted on may be ascertained by reference to the Dean of the medical Faculty, or the professors of the special subjects, at the Queen's College.

Every candidate will be required to give evidence of having attended a general hospital during twenty-four months, or an hospital for eighteen months and the outpractice of a dispensary for six months; also, of having received instruction in Practical Pharmacy for three months.

He must attend one-third at least of the above courses in one of the Queen's Colleges in Ireland; and

for the remainder, certificates will be received from other colleges or schools, recognised by the Senate of the Queen's University.

Graduates in Arts will be admitted to examination for the degree of M. D., two years after having obtained their degree in Arts, provided they shall have complied with the above regulations, with the exception of that which requires four years of professional study.

For detailed information regarding the scholarships of the medical Faculty, see page 31, and the section on scholarship courses.

For detailed information regarding the fees and expenses of the degree of Doctor of Medicine, and for tendance on lectures, see rules, page 45, and general view of fees, page 96.

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING.

The student must have matriculated as described page 72, in order to enter into this school, which is organized for the special teaching of the several branches of science required for the complete education of the Civil Engineer. Throughout the course, the scientific instruction is combined with such practice in drawing, field exercise in surveying, levelling, the use of instruments, calculations, &c., as will afford the fullest practical application of engineering science.

The complete course of study for the diploma of Engineer embraces two sessions of collegiate attendance, and three years of practical experience in engineering operations. At the end of the two sessions of collegiate study, the candidate may obtain a certificate of Assistant Engineer, as explained page 62.

The professors engaged in the courses of the School of Engineering are:

Engineering,
Surveying,

Descriptive Geometry,

Principles of Architecture,

C. B. LANE, A. B., F. G. S.

Mathematics, pure and applied, . GEORGE BOOLE, ESQ.

Natural Philosophy,

Practical Mechanics,

Chemistry applied to the Arts

of Construction, Mineralogy and Geology, with reference to the Arts of Construction,
