ANATOMICAL METHODS AND HUMAN ANATOMY.
The instruction in anatomy is given in six courses, of which two
pertain to Comparative Veterinary Anatomy ; the other four courses
are outlined below. The instruction is by lecture and laboratory
work, the latter being by far the more important.
In courses 1 and 2, the student learns some anatomy, but what is
of more importance to the beginner, the eyes become somewhat trained
to distinguish quickly, and the hands to dissect neatly and accurately
the various structures under consideration, so that in course 3 the
study of human anatomy may be taken with up more advantage than
otherwise would be possible.
The department of anatomy occupies the whole of the east wing of
the Veterinary College a structure 90 feet by 40, and one story in
height. The floors are of impermeable cement ; the walls are lined
by enameled white brick, and the ceilings are covered with sheet steel.
The main laboratory is 54 feet by 40 and 22 feet in height. It is well
