027426See Description: Various. Octavo. There are 10 separate parts approximately 100 pages covering the period from 1827 to 1838 with lists of the professors and medical students; in addition it notes special lectures and in a few cases the specialty of those who received their medical degree. Funding from the Regents was haphazard requiring the medical faculty to depend on being paid by lecture as well as maintaining a practice. The situation was so bad the professors took over the finances trying to guarantee the survival of the school but by 1840 the faculty decided to resign leaving the school to flounder but the New York Academy of Medicine was established in the late 1840's and this put the training for doctors as well as the Professors of Medicine on a sound footing for providing first rate medical studies and practice. What is significant is it represents a relatively complete study of medicine in Western New York. Most of the follow 10 printed catalogues for the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District of New York in Fiarfield Herkimer county list all the students and the professors. In addition there are notes of coming lectures on medical topics. Each was printed by a variety of printers in different towns in Herkimer county. 1 Little Falls NY by Edward M.
