Arrangements for Seventh Series Is Now Complete

WILL BEGIN NOV. 2

Dr. Rollin H. Stevens, Detroit and Prof. H V. Halbert, Chicago to Deliver Lectures

The arrangements are pretty well completed for the Seventh Practitioners' Clinical Course in the Homeopathic College and Hospital. The course will begin Nov. 2 and will be of unusual interest as extra preparations are being made for it. Many unusual features will be added to the program. The annual conclaves of the two fraternities represented in the college, the Alpha Sigma and the Phi Alpha Gamma, will be held here at the time the courses will be in progress.These grande chapter meetings will be attended by a large number of delegates from all the colleges and several men of prominence have expressed their intention to be present at the conclaves. They will lend great interest, incidentally, to the Practitioners' Course. 

Every year the faculty engages the services of prominent men to assist in the special lecture course and to hold special clinics.This year Dr. Rollin H. Stevens, of Detroit, and Prof. H. V. Halbert, of Chicago, will be on the regular program. Dr. Halbert is connected with one of the leading colleges of Chicago as senior professor of theory and practice, is on the staff of Cook County Hospital, is identified with several other hospitals and institutions of his city and is regarded a clinical instructor and lecturer of unusual ability. His specialty is internal medicine. Dr. Halbert will hold a general clinic and give two lectures.

Dr. Stevens is a graduate of the University and is generally known to the profession of Michigan as an unusually well qualified specialist. He has had a wide experience as a physician and surgeon, both in private practice and in Grace Hospital of Detroit. He has spent the greater part of the past year in the hospitals of Europe studying diseases of the skin, having been a considerable part of this time in the Medical Light Institute of Finsen at Copenhagen, where such remarkable results have been accomplished with modified light.

Perhaps no man in this section of the country is better prepared to give the very latest theories and demonstrate the most recent methods in dermatology than Dr. Stevens. He has been appointed lecturer on dermatology int he department by the Regents of the University. He will hold a dermatological clinic and lecture in the special course. His lectures will be illustrated by rare and costly apparatus which has been imported from Europe very recently. 

The surgical work of the course will probably be pretty much all done by the surgical staff of the College. Dr. Smith will have completed his half-year's work in the hospitals of Europe, Dr. Kinyon, who was deprived of working in the course last year by his severe illness, will have been fully recovered and refreshed, and the eye and ear clinic, which is always over-flowing, will be ably conducted by Dr. Copeland.

The faculty contemplate giving a large reception some evening to the visiting doctors, delegates, students, friends and friends' friends of the department. An extended program of all the different lectures, clinics, receptions, banquets, etc., is in preparation. 

The following appointments in the Homeopathic department have been made by the board of regents, but not yet announced: Gustave Wilson, M. D., and A. J. Reynolds, M. D., were appointed interns at the Homeopathic hospital; R. H. Stevens, M. D., Detroit, non-resident lecturer on dermatology; O. R. Long, M. D., Ionia, mental diseases; W. A. Polglase, M. D., Lapeer, nervous diseases.
