It is the Southwestern Homeopathic College of Louisville, Kentucky. Another medical college has been organized in Denver, Colorado, which announces its first term to commence in October, 1894. The year has been one of prosperity with all the colleges. They have all adopted the four years' course of study, with required attendance on three full courses of at least six months each. in separate years. The Committee have taken another step of great importance to Homœopathy, and to general-medicine. With entire unanimity, and with heartiness on the part of all the colleges, they have adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That, beginning with the session of 1895-96, all colleges recognized by this Intercollegiate Committee of the American Institute of Homoeopathy, shall require attendance upon four courses of lectures of not less than six months each, in separate years. The committee recommend the adoption of a similar resolution by the Institute. The following resolution was also adopted, and is recommended for adoption by the Institute: Resolved, That, while the Intercollegiate Committee of the American Institute of Homœopathy would regard with favor any movement looking to the establishment of Chairs of Homœopathic Therapeutics or Materia Medica in any college or university in which such chairs do not now exist, it would most unqualifiedly condemn any movement to transfer any existing Homœopathic institution to any Old-School college in a manner which involves the surrender of its distinctive name, and under conditions which do not secure the recognition of distinctive chairs of Homœopathy. Respectfully submitted, by order of the Committee, Chairman. At the conclusion of the reading, Dr. Talbot moved that the report be accepted without adoption for the present, which was ordered. Dr. Talbot stated that there was another report, which was not yet quite completed, which would be presented later on. The recommendations contained in the report were then discussed as follows: 1. Resolved, That beginning with the session of 1895–96, all colleges recognized by the American Institute of Homœopathy shall require attendance upon four courses of lectures of not less than six months each in separate years. Dr. Talbot moved the adoption of this resolution, and said: We have been stepping forward, forward, in this matter for the last ten years. In this matter of medical education we have led in that movement the whole profession, Allopathic and Homoeopathic. It has done more to give respectability to the medical profession in the United States than anything else.
