✦ Synopsis

The general adoption of an affiliation of medical schools with universities was, doubtless, the most important step toward securing a course properly correlated with modern developments in all departments of science and educational method.

Unfortunately however, the readjustments demanded by this change in teaching, from independence frequently extreme, to the new system, have been made more difficult by the almost radical transformations which have been at work in the sciences fundamental to medicine.

Physiology and pathology, and even zoology, are becoming more chemical; pathology, pharmacology, bacteriology, and zoology more experimental. Human anatomy has adopted a more embryological point of view, with its comparative basis more experimental and dynamical. The growth of these new lines of work alone, in either one of the fields of anatomy, physiology, pathology, etc., has been so rapid as to fill many special journals (some created to hold this new matter), and
