Change the present pre-pharmacy requirement of five hours of mathematics, including algebra and trigonometry, to three hours of algebra. 2. Authorize the Dean and the Registrar to waive the requirement in mathematics for one semester under the following conditions: ( a ) if the candidate has a general scholastic average of at least 3.5; and (b) if the candidate carries, along with his first semester's work in the College of Pharmacy, three hours of algebra in some recognized college or university.

Add trigonometry to the recommended elective subjects of the prepharmacy year.
