    JEFFERSON MEDICAL* COLLEGE, PHILADELPHIA. TRUSTEES. The Rev. ASHBEL GREEN, D.D. LL.D. President. Samuel Badger, Esq. Hon. Judge King, General Wm. Duncan, The Rev. G. R. Livingston, D. D. The Rev. Ezra Stiles Ely, D.D. Hon. Joel B. Sutherland, James M. Broom, Esq. Jacob Frick, Esq. David S. Hassinger, Esq. As considerable alterations have taken place in the Professorial arrangements of Jefferson Medical College, and as it is the wish of the Trustees and Professors of that Institution to modify, and, they trust, improve the system of medical education, which has heretofore been pursued in the College over which they preside, the following expose is submitted to the Profession. I. CHARTER. The Medical Faculty of Jefferson College was incorporated by a special act of the Legislature of the State of Pennsylvania, in the year 1826. The immunities and privileges conferred on it by this act are, in all respects, equal to those enjoyed by the most favoured Medical Institutions in the United States, and the degrees granted by it, confer on their possessors the same honours and powers as those bestowed by the oldest chartered Medical Schools. Its affairs are managed by a Board composed of Ten Trustees, residing in the City of Philadelphia, who take this opportunity to assure the public that no effort shall be wanting on their part to elevate and promote the interests and reputa¬ tion of the College of which they are the guardians. II. PROFESSORS. The Anatomical Department of Jefferson Medical College will in fu¬ ture be placed under the control and direction of Professor Pattison, formerly Professor of Anatomy in the University of Maryland, and lately Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in the University of Lon¬ don. The Lectures on Surgery will continue to be delivered by Dr. George M‘Clellan. Dr. John Revere has been elected to the Chair of the Theory and Practice of Physick, and will in future teach this branch of Medical Science. Materia Medica and Pharmacy, will be taught as before, by Dr. Samuel Colhoun; and Dr. Jacob Green will continue to occupy the Professorship of Chemistry. Dr. Samuel M‘Clellan, who held the Anatomical Chair, having retired from it, to afford the Trustees an opportunity for electing Professor Patti¬ son to that Professorship, will in future deliver the Lectures on Mid¬ wifery and the Diseases of Women and Children. The above ap¬ pointments are permanent, and the following will be in future the arrangement of subjects, and the Professors who will teach them in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia.
