Abstract
UNIVERSITY College, Bristol, is making laudable efforts to provide a complete curriculum for the important district of which it is the centre. Like the similar colleges at Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, &c., the lectures comprise all the branches of a liberal and scientific education. The erection of new buildings, which will be completed before the close of the current year, will give increased facilities for the study of science. The Chemical Department now contains accommodation for nearly fifty students, and is, we believe, equipped with the latest improvements for teaching which are in use in this country or on the Continent; lectures are delivered on pure chemistry as well as on certain branches of applied chemistry. The physical and engineering departments are also provided with facilities for laboratory work. The instruction in experimental physics is kept abreast of the rapidly increasing requirements of the age, and arrangements are now perfected for the training of students as electric engineers—a profession for which the recent development of electric discovery opens good prospects. The Bristol Medical School, which is affiliated to the College, offers with the Royal Infirmary and Central Hospital, every facility for the study of medicine. Instruction in biology is also given, and it is intended to open a biological laboratory in the course of the ensuing session. In olher subjects the instruction is such as to make the curriculum practically complete.
