    3. Regulations as to Prize Dissertations. 1. A committee of five shall be appointed at each annual meeting, to report prize questions to be laid before the So¬ ciety at the next annual meeting. 2. Public notice of the subjects offered, shall be given by the Secretary, immediately after the dose of the annual ses¬ sion of the Society, 3. The dissertations offered for the prizes to he forwarded to Albany, on or before the 1st of December. They shall be accompanied with a sealed paper, containing the name of the author, and this sealed paper, as well as the disserta¬ tion, shall be endorsed with the same motto, in order that the name of the successful author alone may be ascertained. 4. A standing committee shall be appointed annually, to examine and report on the dissertations that may be pre¬ sented ; the committee to report as early as possible during the session. 5. In reporting the dissertations to the Society which may be deemed worthy of prizes, the committee are to be govern¬ ed not by the number of dissertations sent in, but by their intrinsic merits. A prize may, therefore, very properly be adjudged to a dissertation, although it be the only one on the subject. The only safe principle by which the commit¬ tee can be regulated is, that the publication of the disserta¬ tion would do credit to the Society. 6. The author may publish it in a pamphlet form, he fur¬ nishing sixty copies ; or, the Society will direct its publica¬ tion in some medical journal of this state, the editors of said journal agreeing to furnish the said sixty copies.
