Broadsides (notices)
Description
This first circular from the new location advertises the opportunity for students to examine patients at the Boston Almshouse on Leverett Street and announces the new professorship in clinical medicine.
The faculty was also concerned about the cost of medical education associated with the move and stated, “It is believed that the price of living in Boston will not greatly exceed that in country towns, at least to those, who are willing to make some temporary sacrifices to the acquisition of knowledge, which will be permanently profitable to them. The professors will be able to point out houses, where the students may be lodged and boarded for $3.50 or $3 for a week. They will also endeavour to render the situation of the students comfortable, and to promote their improvement in medical learning, by every means in their power.”
