UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS.

15. Organic Analysis.—One term's work, mainly devoted to proximate analysis of organic compounds and mixtures of natural occurrence or of other origin. The work is both qualitative and quantitative and includes determinations of the more important alkaloids, carbohydrates, acids and other essential constituents of organic substances. Dragendorff's Plant Analysis; Prescott's Organic Analysis; Allen's Commercial Organic Analysis. Spring term, full study (elective). Professor PALMER. Required: Chemistry, 1, 2, 3, 9.

PHARMACY.

1. Pharmacy.—History of pharmacopoeias; chemical and galenical preparations; official standards of purity, etc. In the spring term pharmacognosy or the study of crude drugs, means of recognition, etc., in the hands of the student. U. S. Pharmacopeia; U. S. and National Dispensatories; Remington's Practice of Pharmacy; Maisch's Organic Materia Medica; National formulary. Pall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Mr. SANDFORD. 2. Pharmacy.—Advanced pharmacy consisting of the study of dispensatories, classification and study of medicines, drugs, etc., doses, effects, etc. In the second term the study of prescriptions is taken up consisting of reading from actual files from the pharmacy; the study of incompatabilities and rules as to dispensing. In the third term a thorough course is given in compounding prescriptions at the prescription desk. Ample means are at hand for as practical a drill as is possible. Fall, winter, and spring terms, full study. Mr.

SANDFORD. MINERALOGY.

1. Mineralogy.—In the determination of minerals students work upon sets of unlabeled hand specimens. Familiarity with species and skill in applying the best and quickest methods of determination are attained by constant practice on a large number of specimens; and the lectures and other instruction acquaint students with the chemical composition and the schemes of classification. Especial attention is given to ores and rock-forming minerals. The lectures are extended to cover the whole series of minerals, but the time for laboratory practice is not sufficient to work on all. The succeeding term an opportunity is given to those who wish it for a continuation of laboratory practice, but credit will not be allowed unless especially granted. Dana's TextBook of Mineralogy. Fall term, full study. Professor BALDWIN. Required: Mathematics, 3, or 4; Chemistry, 1.
