RESEARCH W O R K IN PHARMACY.

(32) The following statement: Dr.: J. H.. Beal, of Scio, Ohio, desires to locate here at the University certain research work in the field of pharmacy, for the prosecution of which he has certain funds at his disposal. Professor Noyes, Director of the Chemical Laboratory, thinks that this work is valuable in itself and would be of considerable direct benefit to the University of Illinois, and he proposes that the University offer to Dr. Beal, free of charge, the use of two rooms in the Chemical Laboratory, suitable for laboratory and office, which it will cost about $400 to fit up. Dr. Beal would be expected to provide his own office furniture, cases,"etc. But ordinary chemicals and apparatus in moderate amount would be furnished by the University for the researches free of charge. In return for this it is understood that it is Dr. Beal's intention to appoint and pay one or more fellows, graduates of colleges or universities, who will engage in graduate study and work along lines of pharmaceutical research, such appointments being made subject to the approval of the University. These fellows may. become candidates for degrees according to the regulations laid down by the graduate faculty, and will be subject to the regulations of the University in these respects. They will be granted the same privileges, as to exemption' from laboratory and tuition fees, as are granted to the fellows of the University. This entire arrangement would be for a single year in order to determine as far as possible its value.

On the recommendation of President James and on motion of Mr. Moore, the President of the University was authorized to arrange to have Dr. Beal come to the University for one year to conduct investigations in the field of pharmacy.
