    SUGGESTIONS FOR The consideration of his Felloav-Members of the Col- lege Committee, when they make up the Report concerning the Medical Curriculum of the University, as^ ordered by the Honourable Town-Council, 2Jth November 1833, and remitted to them, c§-c., by James Sanders, M.D. ^ The Honourable Council remitted to us, to examine the Curriculum of Medical Studies ordered by our Senatus Academicus, and to report, &c.,—an arduous task truly, and considering the weighty matters which it involves, of no small responsibdity. The public good, however, is the supreme law; the attempt must be made. In the discharge of this duty we cannot take assistance from any of the public establishments ; they all differ from curriculum scientifically con- The appointments to places in the older Universities were conferred through favour ; and, in those of later times, the custom has hardly been deviated from. Generally, when a school commenced, an effort was made and one or two eminent men procured ; if they prospered’ soon to thern were superadded the creatures of faction, o^ the needy relations of the influential; afterwards, if such a an as should be there, found admission, his fame seldom cted more than to make cupidity more keen, and patron age more circumspect. When new classes were instituted.
