COLLEGE OF SCIENCE. SECOND YEAR.

1. Advanced work in Chemistry or Pharmacy; Materia Medica 1: Military 2: Pharmaceutical Technology (Pharm. 4); Quantitative Analysis (Chem. 5a). 2. Advanced work in Chemistry or Pharmacy; Materia Medica 1; Military 2; Pharmaceutical Technology (Pharm. 4); Quantitative Analysis (Chem. ob). 3. Advanced work in Chemistry or Pharmacy: Military 2; Pharmaceutical Assaying (Pharm. 5): Pharmacognosy (Pharm. 3b): Thesis. By an earnest prosecution of the studies laid out in this course the student may thoroughly prepare himself for the examinations required by the State Board of Pharmacy for registration as a pharmacist. The work outlined above leaves no time during the college year for the drug store practice required by law for a registered pharmacist. This practice must therefore be had at otiier times, preferably before the college course. THE MATHEMATICAL GROUP. The mathematical group of studies includes the entire offering of the University courses in pure mathematics, physics, and astronomy. The instruction in pure mathematics has for its object the promotion of habits of mental concentration and continuity of thought, the development of the capacity to form and combine abstract conceptions and the cultivation of deductive reasoning, and to give such mathematical knowledge as is required for the study of the professional work in the College of Engineering. For this last purpose the greater part of the time is necessarily taken up with the theory and its application to geometrical magnitudes. It is hoped that the course thus planned will meet the requirements of those who need mathematics as a tool, of those who wish to fit themselves for instructors, and of those who study the science for the love of it. Parallel with the pure mathematics of the junior and senior years,two lines of associated work in applied mathematics—physical and astronomical—are offered, either of which may be, and one of which must be, taken by the student wishing to graduate in the studies of the mathematical group. One of these lines leads from the physics of the sophomore year through the math-
