Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy Ticket 1877
|
Given to student J.C. Barnes who graduated in 1878, this ticket was for the admission to Dr.
Henry DeSaussure Ford's lectures on Descriptive and Surgical Anatomy for the academic year of
1877-78. Students had to buy tickets in order to attend lectures. Instead of paying to the
Department directly, each student bought tickets of admission to courses for 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.
