The faculty of the school recommends the establishment of an additional course in the School of Pharmacy for the degree of pharmaceutical chemist: Aim—To offer a course of higher grade for such students of pharmacy as desire a more extended preparation than is afforded by the course now offered for the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy. Especially for those who intend to afterward engage in pharmaceutical industries where a more thorough knowledge of pharmaceutical chemistry is desirable. Scope—To cover all of the work now included in the Ph. G. course with a large amount of laboratory practice added, and some additional courses, viz: Food and sanitary analysis, commercial microscopy, bacteriology, etc. Admission Requirements—Graduation from an accredited high school or institution of equal standing; attainment of 17 years of age. Length of Course—Two school years of 36 weeks each, beginning about September 24th and closing about June 3rd. Hours—The attendance of the student is required on five days each week, the amount of instruction comprising about 32 hc>urs weekly. (Thisi compares favorably with the Ph. G. courses offered by the Northwestern University and the University of Michigan.) Requirements for Graduation—-The successful completion of the course as outlined above. No drug store experience to be required. Decree—Pharmaceutical chemist, Ph. C. Fees—Matri-culation fee $5.00, tuition $125.00, laboratory deposit $15.00. The above course will add considerably to the class-work of the members of the faculty.. It is planned to have both Ph. G. and Ph. C. students attend the same lectures during the 28 weeks of the Ph. G. course, but the laboratory work would be given separately. The class hours of Professor Goodman and Dr. Rogers would not be changed or increased, but Professor 'Puckner and Mr. Clark would have their class hours doubled, while Professor Hallberg, Mr. Snow, Mr. Gathercoal and Mr. Day would have at least 50 per cent more hours of class instruction next session, if the proposed course is given.
