Anatomy Lecture Ticket 1853
|
This ticket was for the admission to attend Dr. Newton's lectures on Anatomy for November 1853. Students
had to buy tickets in order to attend lectures. Instead of paying to the college directly, each student
bought tickets of admission to courses from each of his professors. Price of tickets usually ranged from
$15-$25 for each course which resulted in each student paying from $100-$120 for one academic year's worth
of lectures. Faculty members turned the ticket money over to the dean. After meeting all expenses at the
end of the session, the faculty divided any left over money among themselves as remuneration for teaching.
