Illinois Industrial University.

During the next three years each student is expected to work two hours daily in the laboratory rive days in the week. - In order to graduate, each is required at the close of his course, to make an original investigation, and present a Thesis. Students who pursue Chemistry as a part of other courses, work at least two consecutive hours daily during such time as their specialties may require. Text-Books—Roscoe's Chemistry; Douglas & Prescott's Analysis; Fresenius'Analysis; Miller's.Chemistry; Rose's Analysis. Books of Reference—Gmelin's Handbook of Chemistry; Graham-Otto's Ausfuehrliches Lehrbuch der Chemie: Watts' Dictionary of Chemistry; Lehmann's Physiological Chemistry; Percy's Metallurgy; Mitchell's Practical Assaying; Wormley's Micro-Chemistry of Poisons; Taylor on Poison. Four courses of laboratory work have been arranged as follows :
