During the 1800's medical
doctors who taught in medical schools or colleges supported their
efforts by selling lecture tickets or cards to their lectures for the
semester or whatever period the lecture series would take. This was how
they were paid and students would buy tickets for the lectures they
needed for their course of study. Both the student and the lecturer
would normally have signed the lecture ticket for admission to the
course. During the 1800's it was common for doctors and 'surgeons' to
attend only two years of lectures. Medical school was not four years
plus internship and a multi-year residency after four years of college
as it is today. Two years and you're good to go.
For example, Jefferson Medical College, and the medical profession,
placed its emphasis on graduation, not entrance requirements. To
receive the M.D. degree, applicants were required to be: 21 years of age,
have attended two one year courses of lectures, studied three years with a
preceptor, have written a thesis, and passed an oral or written
examination given by the faculty. Only then would students receive the
coveted Pass Notice.
The more desirable lecture cards for this collection are pre-1870, from
American medical colleges for medical courses of interest, signed by
notable doctors, and in excellent condition. All medical lecture tickets
from the 1700' and 1800's are wanted to purchase by this collector, Michael
Echols.
It's all inter-related on this site: medical schools sold lecture cards,
lecturers who were authors of books wrote books used at the medical
schools, the surgeons who attended the medical colleges fought in the
Civil War, surgeons joined the Army, the Army bought surgical sets for
the surgeon's use, and round and round it goes.

University of Glasgow,
Scotland, 1820 -1821
Prior to the
1830's Scotland was a
famous location for training American surgeons.
There were not that many good medical programs in the
colonies and men who wanted to train as physicians
tended to go to France and the British Isles.
