floors of a building having a frontage of 50 feet on the boulevard and a depth of 170 feet, until June 1916. In that month it was removed to a building just previously purchased by the University at the eorner of Wood and Flournoy Streets. To meet the demand for special training on the part of students desiring to pursuo more extended courses in pharmaceutical chemistry, applied microscopy and bacteriologyy or to prepare themselves for positions under the Food and Drugs Act, a curriculum was established in 1908 leading to the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist.

From 1908 to 1913, one year of high school work was required for enrolment as a candidate for the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy. This requirement was raised in 1914 to the completion of two years' work in an accredited high school, and since 1916 15 units have been required. For admission to the curriculum leading to the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist 15 units have been required since the establishment of this curriculum in 1908. The enrolment in the School of Pharmacy for the year 1896-7 was 181. In 1903-4 the number was 185. During the sixteen years from 1904 to 1920 the number varied considerably from year to year, ranging from 150 in 1904-05 to a maximum of 259 in 1907-8. In 1919-20 the total number of students enrolled was 209.
