DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENTS 113 Prospective students in medicine not wishing to graduate here before taking their medical course will be assisted to make up special study lists. Students in the natural science group of the College of Science will be given credits on their medical courses at the School of Medicine of the University of Illinois for University work taken by them, as follows: For zoology 3; biology. For physiology I and 2; histology and freshman physiology. For botany 2; bacteriology. For chemistry 1, 3a and 4; freshman chemistry. For chemistry I, 3a and 9, followed by physiology 1; all of freshman and sophomore chemistry except toxicology.
