Matriculation and lecture tickets for H. B. Marriott at the University of Maryland between 1881 and 1883. Also includes a letter stating Marriott had passed final test to earn doctorate in medicine.
Medical students first paid a matriculation fee to the school, and would then take the matriculation card with them to purchase lecture tickets for each course directly from the professors. Courses that involved more materials and equipment, such as chemistry, surgery, and anatomy, tended to charge higher fees to cover the professors' expenses. The students also paid fees to the demonstrator of anatomy, defraying costs for dissection material. Where tickets formed the basis of admission to a course, they were examined by an "usher" stationed at the entrance of a lecture room. Most medical schools did not abandon lecture tickets until the late 19th century.
