Debutante . the chairs of a School of Medi-cine are thus provided for—chemistry, physiology, comparative anat-omy, human anatomy, pathology, medicine, surgery.

Before many years, when the meansof the University are enlarged, perhaps when a special endowmentis received, Baltimore seems destined to become the seat of a schoolof medicine, such as does not now exist in the country. From the beginning, the trustees and faculty have endeavoredto guide the institution for which they are responsible in such a wayas to make it serviceable to American education. They have en-deavored to avoid everything which would appear to rival or injureother institutions, and, on the other hand, to develop ideas whichthe best minds of the country have pointed out as demanding the10. PHYSICAL LABORATORY support of a great endowment. Consequently, the laboratorieshave been freely opened to men engaged in scientific research;books and periodicals have been freely purchased and liberally lent;the pages of the periodicals printed here have been opened towriters in any place. Liberal aid has been given to importantinquiries, sometimes instituted by the National Government (as inelectricity and magnetism) ; or by municipal request (respecting,for example, the purity of drinking water and the protection of thepublic health) ; or by the State of Maryland (as in respect to theprinciples of taxation and the protection of oyster fisheries); orfrom purely scientific impulses (as in the production of spectrumgratings and the study of light). Aid has been given to the publica-tion of learned works, valuable but not remunerative, like the Didache the Syrian Antilegomena, the Lectures of SirWilliam Thomson, Contributions to Logic, etc. These are butexamples of a serie
