Last year for the first time, five

started the co-educational system.
Previously, all women students at
tended separate institutions. The
medical course at Moscow, Mr.
Budaeff reports, is five years. Dur
ing his first two years there, he
studied pre-medical studies similar
to those taught here, such as anat
omy, histology, and physiology.
Budaeff is taking a course in tho

Budaeff, “to study English and1,

experience in the study of it.”
There are only four general sub
jects handled in institutions given
the name of universities, according
to Budaeff—-medicine, jurispru
dence, natural science, and litera

Moscow, but there is an association
of students similar to the associated
student body of the University of
Oregon.
lie intends after graduating from
.the Portland medical school to bring
his mother from Russia to this
state, where he is going to practice
his profession.
Budaeff has already taken out his
