HISTORY 155 building in which ample space for many years' growth was provided. The better accommodations gave an impulse to better work. Up to this time instruction had been given mainly by means of lectures, laboratory work being entirely optional. Laboratory courses in pharmacy, chemistry, and vegetable histology were now made obligatory. A laboratory devoted entirely to prescription compounding was established in 1892. The excellence of the equipment in this department won for the College a medal and diploma at the World's Columbian Exposition. The College was formally united with the University May 1, 1896, and is now conducted as the technical "School of Pharmacy of the University of Illinois." In the management of the School the Trustees and officers of the University have the assistance of an advisory board of pharmacists elected by the registered pharmacists of the state through the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association. The school is situated near the business center of Chicago. In addition to the larger amphitheater, known as "Attfield Hall," which has a seating capacity of three hundred and fifty, the building occupied has a smaller hall especially fitted for lectures and demonstrations in chemistry and capable of seating one hundred and fifty persons. The chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories, as well as the microscopical laboratory and the dispensing laboratory, are commodious and well appointed. The courses of instruction, covering two terms of twenty-six weeks each, extending from October 4th to April 21st, afford opportunities for a thorough technical training such as is necessary for the successful practice of pharmacy. The subjects taught are pharmacy, chemistry, botany, and materia medica. The system of teaching includes lectures, demonstrations, recitations, written and oral examinations, as well as individual instruction in actual work in operative and dispensing pharmacy, analytical chemistry, use of the compound microscope, etc. Much time is devoted to laboratory practice.
