To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. GENTLEMEN :—The Committee on the School of Pharmacy met with the "Faculty of the School at 465 State street, Chicago, on Thursday, September 2, 1897. The meeting1 was called to order at 10:30 a. m., the Chairman, Mr. McLean, presiding. There were present Messrs. McLean and Bullard, Professor Palmer, representing President Draper and Professor Shattuck, and Professors Goodman, Hallberg, Puckner, and Hereth, and Secretary Day, of the School of Pharmacy. There were read the following recommendations from the Faculty of the School with regard to the course for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist: "The candidate for this degree first to complete the course for the degree Graduate in Pharmacy, this latter course consisting of two annual terms of not less than twenty-eight weeks each and requiring an attendance of three days a week and about seven hours daily. " I n addition to this course the candidate to take a third term also of twenty-eight weeks or of the same length as each of the Ph. G. terms and extending simultaneously with these. The attendance required during this third term to be five days a week and seven or eight hours daily. The course for this third term to consist of lectures, recitations and laboratory practice in advanced chemistry and bacteriology." Mr. Bullard moved that these recommendations be adopted. Discussion brought out the following points: That the expense for providing suitable additional equipment for this course would be from eight hundred to one thousand dollars; that the annual expense for maintaining such a course would be, approximately, for supplies two hundred dollars, for instruction eight hundred dollars. It was suggested that the fee for this course be seventy-five dollars. In the case of students who matriculated last year with the intention of •competing for the Ph. C. degree under the conditions then in force, it was suggested that such students be allowed to choose between taking a third term or receiving a certificate of having finished the course and, upon obtaining the required drug store experience, receiving the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy. It was also suggested that the Faculty of the School furnish a statement regarding the number of hours of instruction included in this three years course both in total and in each study. [See p. 189.]
