OBJECT OF THE SCHOOL.

The object of this school is to impart such theoretical and practical knowlege of Chemistry as will enable the student to apply the principles of the science to aay of the related arts, and to fit him not only for the field of original research, but for the practical business of the Druggist, Pharmaceutist and Practical Chemist. A tabular view of the complete course is given on the next page. The instruction in the principles of Chemistry and Chemical Physics, including five recitations a week, will occupy six weeks of the first term of the first year. For the remainder of the year the recitations will alternate with laboratory practice. During the remaining three years each student is expected to work two hours daily in the laboratory, five days in the week, and in order to graduate, each-is expected, at the close of the course, to make an original investigation, and to write a thesis. Students who pursue Chemistry only as a part of other courses, will find it to their advantage to work at least two consecutive hours daily during such time as their specialty may require. TEXT-BOOKS—Roscoe's Chemistiy; Douglas & Prescott's Analysis; Fresenius' Analysis; Miller's Chemistry; Rose's Analysis.

BOOKS OF REFERENCE—Gemelin's Handbook of Chemistry; Gra-

ham-Otto's Ausfuehrliches Lehrbuch der Chemie; Watt's Dictionary of Chemistry; Lehmann's Physiological Chemistry; Percy's Metallurgy; Mitchell's Practical Assaying; Wormley's Micro-Chemistry of Poisons; Taylor on Poison. To accommodate those who have a particular object in view, this department has three special courses of Laboratory work arranged as follows:
