REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION IN PHARMACY (14) The University Senate has approved a recommendation of the faculty of the School of Pharmacy, that, beginning with the entering class in the session of 1925-26, the minimum requirements for graduation from the University of Illinois School of Pharmacy shall be three years of instruction through thirty-two weeks in each year in accordance with a program of study given below. The Senate recommends this action for approval. Inasmuch as this action is in line with the general understanding, that the Pharmacy program was to be changed in this way and since we are making provision therefor, I request approval as recommended with the understanding that, within the limits of the total educational requirement set forth in the curriculum, the faculty and Senate be at liberty to make such modifications from time to time as educational necessities require. The program follows:
