Dear Sir: -
Your name has been given me as one who will attend lectures at some Medical College this fall. Our catalogue is mailed you with the hope that you will look over it carefully. You can get from it such information as you may desire concerning our school. Should you desire further information I will be glad to furnish it to you.
The laboratories of the Birmingham Medical College have the latest and best equipment for the teaching of these subjects, and they are all taught by specialist who are eminantly [sic] successful as teachers. The Medical and Surgical clinics are held at the Hillman Hospital which adjoins the College building. This is one of the largest Charity Hospitals in the South. The Faculty have charge of all the Medical and Surgical work and the students have access to this Hospital during the entire session. The Faculty are also connected with other Hospitals and Infirmaries and the students have the privilige [sic] of attending clinics at them.
Students who attend the Birmingham Medical College have an opportunity to become associated with prominent Physicians and Surgeons and to secure good locations and remunerative practice immediately after graduation.
By referring to the American Medical Journal of May the 22nd, page 1695 you will see the high record made by the Birmingham Medical College before the different State Boards. This College is one of the 19 Colleges in the U.S. that has a perfect record for the year 1908. This College has stood for the highest grade of work from its beginning, and the students who graduate from this institution have been remarkably successful before the examining Boards and as practitioners. It is our purpose to maintain this high standard and to do this it is necessary not only to do the highest grade of work, but to have students who are qualified to do such work and who are desirous of making honorable records not only in College but as members of the Medical profession. By maintaining a high standard and admitting only such students as can do the best work we believe that we are rendering a distinct service to the Medical profession of the South.
After you have looked over the catalogue I will be glad to hear from you, and we will be very much pleased to have you come and take up the work with us September the 29th.
Very truly yours,
E.P. Hogan
