furnished one acre, on which a brick building
seventy-five feet in length, two stories in the middle, with wings of
three stories, was erected, at a cost of over $4,600, Dr. Smith
becoming responsible for the balance. By the terms of the above grants
the building and anatomical and chemical apparatus became the property
of the State upon the removal of Dr. Smith from the institution, which
is with propriety styled the "New Hampshire Medical College."

In 1810 Dr. Cyrus Perkins (created a Doctor upon that occasion) was
elected professor of Anatomy. Some trouble having occurred about this

only was conferred upon recent graduates, while the degree of M.D. was
only allowed in course three years after graduation. This was now
changed, and the degree of Doctor of Medicine was conferred upon all
medical graduates. The term of study was again changed, and fixed at
the present standard. Another of the new regulations and perhaps the
least agreeable one to the students, compelled candidates to read
their theses publicly in the chapel.

"The Faculty was also strengthened by the appointment of Rufus Graves,
Esq., as lecturer on Chemistry, making this department, for the first
time, a separate branch. Colonel Graves, although a good lecturer, was
an unsuccessful manipulator, which caused his dismission in 1815,
three years later. During the same year [1812, at Dartmouth] we find
that Mr. Reube
