MEDICAL EMANATIONS.
A PROFESSOR'S OPINION. (Received Last Night, 10.20 o'clock.) LONDON, October 2. At the opening of the Medical School, Sir William Osier, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford, addressing the students at St. George's hospital, vigorously attacked the examination system, whereby some of the best materia! had failed simply through the curriculum. Medicine, he said, could bo taught without systematic lectures. They should burn their anatomical fetish. He instanced Cunningham's "Anatomy," and asserted that it was barbaric cruelty to burden the mind with minutiae which was only of Chinese value, as a Titanic teet of memory. Where possible, evidence of original work should be. substituted for examination.
