The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and theRoyal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, while they still con-tinue to give their diplomas separately, under separate regu-lations, have made arrangements by which, after one aeries ofexaminations, the student may obtain the diplomas of both

Colleges.The general principle of this joint examination is, that it

shall be conducted by a board, in which each body is repre-sented, for examination in those branches which are commonto both Medicine and Surgery ; but that the College of Phy-sicians shall take exclusive charge of the examination in

Medicine, and the College of Surgeons of the examination inSurgery.The object of the joint examination is to give to students

facilities for obtaining from two separate bodies, and at less

expense, a qualitication in Medicine and a qualification in Sur-gery.
