It was laid down that henceforth medicine would be taught in all the universities of the kingdom that had, or had had, a faculty; that the chairs, instead of remaining vacant for an indefinite period, would be made available as soon as they became free; that the students would receive their degree only after three years of study, duly verified by matriculation every four months; that every year they would have to pass an examination before receiving the title of buchelier, licencie, or docteur; that they would follow compulsory courses in anatomy, in chemical and Galenic pharmacy, and in demonstrations of plants.
