656 ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF EDINBURGH: THE FELLOWSHIP. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh grants a diploma of Fellowship after examination to the holders of the surgical degrees of diplomas of such British examining bodies, as well as of the holders of such surgical degrees of the Universities of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Indian Empire as are recogn;sed by the College The candidates for the examination must be 25 years of age and must have been engaged in practice for at least two years. The examination is of a practical nature, partly written and partly viva voce, and must include surgery and surgical anatomy, operative surgery, and clinical practice. One optional subject must also be taken, the range of these specialisms covering nearly every branch of medicine. The fee to be paid on entering for examination for Fellow- ship is f:45, £10 of which is remitted to those who already hold the Licentiateship of the College. Candidates rejected at the examination obtain repayment of fee less £10 retained for examination expenses. One month’s notice of intention to present himself for examination must be given by the candidate to Mr. D. L. Eadie, 54, George-square, Edinburgh, clerk to the College, together with credentials signed by two Fellows of the College, one of whom must be a resident in Edinburgh, unless a special application be made to the President and the Council of the College. In exceptional circumstances registered medical practitioners who have distinguished themselves in the practice of their profession are admitted to the Fellowship without examination. The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh admits to the examination for its Single Licence any candidate who already holds a Diploma in Medicine of any British, Indian, or Colonial university or of any British or Colonial College of Physicians, or of the Society of Apothecaries of London or Apothecaries’ Hall, Dublin, granted under the provisions of the Medical Act, 1886, whose preliminary examination and course of professional study is proved to be sufficient to fulfil the requirements of the College, or to those who have passed a full examination for any of the above. Female practitioners are now admitted to the Licence of the College but not to the Fellowship, and the regulations for the Licence apply to practitioners of either sex. Every candidate for a surgical diploma must have followed his course of study in a university, or in an established school of medicine, or in a provincial school specially recognised by the College of Surgeons of that division of the United Kingdom in which it is situate. Under the title Established School of Medicine are com- prehended the medical schools of those cities of Great Britain and Ireland in which Diplomas in Surgery are granted, and such colonial and foreign schools as are similarly circumstanced in the countries in which they exist. SINGLE LICENCE. Professional Examination for the Diploma of the College.— Candidates for the Diploma of the College will be sub- jected to one professional examination, partly in writing and partly practically and orally. Opportunities for the examinations will be presented four times in each year. On each of these occasions the candi- dates will assemble to write answers to the questions proposed, and the clinical and oral examinations shall be conducted on the days immediately succeeding. Unsuccessful candidates will be remitted to their studies for a period to be determined by the judgment of the examiners, but not in any case for less than three months. The examination will embrace the principles and prac- tice of surgery (including operative surgery and surgical pathology), clinical surgery, and surgical anatomy, and will not take place before the termination of the full period of study. Applications for examination must be made to Mr. D. L. Eadie, not later than one week prior to the date of examination. On the production of the required documents Mr. Eadie will give the candidate an order authorising the examiners to admit him to examination. The fee of £15 15s. payable to the College must be lodged in the hands of Mr. Eadie not later than one week pre- ceding the examination day. The sum of E10 10s. will be returned to each unsuccessful candidate. Under special circumstances candidates can be examined on days other than those fixed by the regulations. The fee for a special examination is as follows, viz., .620 for examination, of which E10 will be returned to candidates remitted on examination. In order to test more effectually the practical knowledge of candidates recent dissections and anatomical specimens will be employed during examination. They will also be subjected to a practical clinical examination in the Surgical Hospital, including the application of surgical apparatus, bandages, surface markings, &c., and may, if it be con. sidered necessary to test their knowledge, be required to perform operations on the dead body.

Matriculation.—All students intending to proceed to themedical degree of the University of Ireland must pass amatriculation examination, the next examination takingplace on the 26th of next September in Dublin and atcertain local centres. The examination is in (1) Latin orGreek; (2) French, German, or any approved modern

language, including Irish; (3) English or History andGeography ; (4) Mathematics ; and (5) one other subject notalready selected, such as Chemistry. In this group of sub-

jects the student must, of course, to satisfy the regulationsof the General Medical Council, take Latin, English, andMathematics.The following are the regulations for external students

proceeding to medical degrees ; it is probable that they aresubject to modification :-

Deyrees of M.B., B.Ch., and B.A.O.—Printed forms ofapplication for admission to any medical examination may

, be had from ’’ The Registrar, The National University ofIreland, Dublin." Each candidate must send to the

L Registrar a printed form of application for admission,, accurately filled up and signed by the candidate, togetheri with the prescribed fee. 1. Students who pass the First’ Medical Examination in 1910, or have passed that

examination in any year previously in the Royal Uni-’ versity, may take Practical Chemistry, if the prescribed, course of instruction has been pursued, at a special exami-

nation before or with the Second Examination in Mediciner of the National University of Ireland, and on passing this

special examination shall be regarded as having passed the1 First Examination in Medicine of the National University.t 2. Students who have completed two years of study and who- pass the Second Examination in Medicine in 1910 may, on

a completion of the courses required for the Third Examinationr of the late Royal University of Ireland, take either (a) ans examination equivalent to the Third Medical Examination1 of the late Royal University of Ireland in autumn, 1911, or. (b) an Examination in Anatomy and Physiology in spring,

1911. In the latter case they will subsequently conform tothe new Regulations; in the former case they conform to the, new Regulations, omitting Materia Medica at the new Third,1 Examination. 3. Students who, in October, 1910, have com-i pleted three years of study, and have passed the Thirde Medical Examination in 1910, may conform either to the new

Regulations (omitting Materia Medica), or may finish theirc studies under the Regulations prescribed by the Royal Uni-e versity. 4. Students who have completed four years of

e study in October, 1910, may finish their studies under then Regulations prescribed by the Royal University.

Degree of M. D., M. CA., M.A. 0. -Candidates may presentd themselves for the examination for this degree after an

658

interval of three academic years from the time of obtainingthe M.B., B.Ch., B.A.O. degrees, but in the case of candi-dates who have obtained a degree in Arts an interval of twoyears will be sufficient. All further information concerningfees, dates of examinations, production of certificates, andso on can be obtained from the Registrar of the University.The same formalities have to be complied with for proceedingto the degree of M. Ch. and M. A. O.The Constituent Colleges of the National University of

Ireland at which the full curriculum for medical degrees canbe obtained are University College, Dublin ; UniversityCollege, Cork ; and University College, Galway.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN.—The University andthe College were created by the Irish University Act,1908, and by Charters issued in December, 1908. Formerstudents of the Cecilia-street School of Medicine who

graduated in the Royal University may become graduatemembers of the new College. The constitution of the

- College, like that of the Constituent Colleges of Cork andGalway, provides for a governing body, an academic councilconsisting of professors and coopted lecturers, a body of.graduate members, and a body of student members matri-culated in the University. The first professors and lecturerswere appointed by the Dublin Commissioners Irish UniversitiesAct, 1908. The College teaching staff includes professors in- all the Faculties of the University. Pending the erection ofnew buildings, for which a Parliamentary grant is provided,the teaching is conducted in part of the University Buildings,Earlsfort-terrace, in the buildings formerly known as Uni-versity College, Stephen’s Green, and in the Medical School,Cecilia-street. The professors were appointed in October,1909, and the Medical Session was begun at once at thesame date as in the other Colleges for the session 1909-10.The number of medical students in the session numbered over300. The students of the College are free to attend any ofthe recognised Dublin hospitals for clinical instruction.

Following the provisions of the statutes of the National Uni-versity, the Constituent Colleges submit for the considerationof the University the courses of study for degrees, and onthe University approving of the courses the latter becomebinding on the students of the College. The medicalconrses so adopted for the three Colleges are practicallyidentical.

Deyrees of M.B., B. Ch., and B.A. 0. -The courses takenfor the first year include Physics, Chemistry (Theoretical andPractical), Botany, Zoology, and Dissections. The second

year is devoted to Anatomy and Physiology. Clinical attend-- ance is taken in the third, fourth, and fifth years. The third

year includes Materia Medica, Sanitary Science, Medical

Jurisprudence, and Pathology, and a Third Examination isheld at the end of the third year in these subjects. AppliedAnatomy is introduced into the final year. The Final Exa-mination includes the Written and Clinical Examinations inMedicine, Midwifery, and Surgery. The Dental course is

kept at a high standard to facilitate a Dental student inobtaining the primary Medical degrees, the first two yearsin the Dental course being the same as the first two years inMedicine. The degree of M.B. may be obtained either by-examination or on published work.
