2. Tuition fee.-(a) The tuition fee for the Medical Courses (3 to 3 majors each quarter) is $60 per quarter, including all laboratory fees.

Under the medical-practice acts and the rules of the medical examining boards of most of the states of this country, an applicant for a license to practice must have attended at least four annual sessions in a recognized medical school. Therefore, a student taking the Medical Courses with a view to procuring the degree of M.D. must matriculate as a medical student at least fortyfive months before the date of his expected graduation in medicine. From the date of such matriculation he is required to pay the tuition fee for the Medical Courses, whether he is registered as a Senior College student, a Graduate student, or as a Medical Course student.

In order that a Graduate student, Senior or Junior College student, may have his work counted toward the M.D. degree, he must be matriculated as a student of Rush Medical College and must each quarter secure from the Dean of Medical Students a card of advice as to registration, and must present this card to his own Dean on registering with him.

NOTE. A student who is taking the medical courses with no intention of securing the medical degree, may, if he prefers, pay the usual University fee of $40 per quarter, with additional laboratory fees as follows: $5 for a major course and $2.50 for a minor

course.

(b) Students taking two majors or less will pay $20 per major. (c) All tuition and laboratory fees are due and payable on or before the first day of each quarter. All fees are payable to the Cashier, Press Building, Room 1.

Registration is not complete until all University bills are paid. Those who fail to meet this obligation within the first five days of the quarter are not regarded as members of the University. After the fifth day, to secure membership in the University the consent of the Dean and the payment of a fee of $5 for late registration will be required.

3. Deposits. (a) A deposit of $5 is required from each student to cover the cost of unnecessary damage in the University buildings, and of avoidable loss and breakage in the laboratories. The deposit must be made on entering the University. Deductions will be made from this deposit to cover the cost of articles not returned, or of damage to University property. Each student will be charged for damage or loss for which he is individually responsible, and for his pro rata share of damage or loss, the responsibility for which cannot be individually located. The balance will be refunded. (b) Each student who procures a skeleton from the Osteological Laboratory will deposit $12 for the same, which sum will be refunded when the skeleton is returned uninjured.

4. Microscopic and other laboratory apparatus and supplies.-(a) A compound microscope is required for most of the medical courses. Every student is strongly advised to purchase a good microscope, with an immersion lens, in order that he may become familiar with the same instrument which he will use after his graduation. Students not possessing a microscope may rent one from the University Supply Department, at a cost of $1.50 per quarter for a compound microscope, and $1 additional for an immersion lens. (b) Students doing laboratory work in the departments of Zoölogy, Anatomy, Physiology, Botany, Bacteriology, and Pathology are required to purchase a laboratory and breakage ticket at the office of the Cashier and file the same at the laboratory supply store, Room 10, Botany Building. (c) Students taking courses in Chemistry are

required to purchase Chemistry coupon tickets. Unused portions of coupon tickets are refunded. (d) The necessary textbooks may be purchased at the University Press. (e) All students taking courses in the Department of Physical Culture are required to provide themselves with a gymnasium suit for use in the gymnasium. The cost of such a suit is about $4.

ADMISSION TO THE MEDICAL COURSES

ROUTINE OF ENTRANCE

Applications should be addressed to THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, Chicago, Ill. When presenting himself for admission to the University, the student should bring his admission credits (see p. 91), if he is entering the Medical Course at its beginning; his letter of dismissal and an official statement concerning his previous work, if he is entering with advanced standing from another institution; and his diploma, if he is applying for admission to a Graduate School.

These documents should be presented at the office of the Dean of Medical Students, Botany Building. Detailed directions will be furnished in the Dean's office as to the mode of matriculating and registering for courses of instruction desired.

GENERAL REGULATIONS

Students are admitted to the Medical Courses: (1) As Undergraduate Students (candidates for a Bachelor's degree, S.B., A.B., or Ph.B.). (2) Graduates of the University of Chicago, or of other universities or colleges of good standing, are admitted to the Medical Courses as medical students; they are allowed all the privileges of the members of the Graduate Schools of the University. (3) In addition to students in regular standing, provision is made for the admission to the University of undergraduate students not seeking degrees. Such students are known as Unclassified Students. They may register for medical subjects, but they are not candidates for the M.D. degree until they have fulfilled the requirements for admission.

1. Admission. (a) Each student must present to the Faculty certificates of good moral character, signed by at least two physicians of good standing

in the state in which the applicant last resided. Blank certificates for this purpose may be had on application to the Dean. (b) He must be able to comply with the requirements for admission to the Medical Courses of the University of Chicago (see p.368). In brief, they consist of a four-year high-school course, plus two years of college work, which must have included College Physics, General Chemistry, and Biology, and a reading knowledge of German or French. (c) He will matriculate and register as a student of Rush Medical College as well as of the University at the beginning of his course. Such matriculation and registration is accomplished at the University without extra fee.

2. Medical Courses as undergraduate work in the course for a Bachelor's degree. (a) The first two years' work in Medicine may be taken as the third and fourth years of the Bachelor of Science course, or, in very large part, of the course for the degree of A.B. or Ph.B.

Students who wish to enter college and prepare to take the medical work as part of their Baccalaureate course may enter at the beginning of the Junior College course (first college year or at any further stage of advancement).1 (b) Each student must comply with 1 (a). (c) In order to comply with the rules of the Medical Examining Boards of several states, a student will matriculate with the Dean of Rush Medical College (at the University) at the beginning of his work in Medicine. He will consult with the Dean of Medical Students each quarter in regard to his work, and take a card of advice to the Dean of the Senior Colleges, with whom the student will continue to register until he receives a Bachelor's degree. Credit will not be given toward the M.D. degree unless the student complies with this regulation.

3. Admission as a graduate student.—(a) Admission to the Graduate Schools of the University is granted (1) to those who have been graduated from the Colleges of the University of Chicago with the degree A.B., Ph.B., or S.B.; (2) to those holding Baccalaureate degrees from other institutions of good standing. (b) Application for admission in the case of students not graduates of the University should be accompanied by testimonials as to character and scholarship. Such testimonials should take the form of diplomas, written or printed theses, or satisfactory evidence in some other form of the student's fitness for admission. (c) A graduate student taking the Medical Courses must comply with 1 (a) and 1 (c). He will consult each quarter with the Dean of Medical Students, and will take a card of advice from him to the Dean of the Graduate School, with whom the student will register. Credit will not be given toward the M.D. degree unless the student complies with this regulation.

4. Unclassified students.-Candidates for admission to the University as Unclassified Students (1) must be at least twenty-one years of age; (2) must show good reason for not entering upon a regular course; (3) must take the entrance examinations of the departments in which they wish to work; (4) must satisfy the Dean and the particular instructors under whom they desire to study that they are prepared to carry the courses elected.

He is also invited to enter into correspondence upon the subject with the Dean of the Senior Colleges, the University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois.

Unclassified students conform to all regulations of the University, and having been admitted, their continuance depends on the maintenance of a satisfactory standing.

NOTE.-Students entering the University for the first time should make it a point to complete all arrangements for entrance, either by correspondence or in person, at least two days before the opening of the quarter.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION TO THE MEDICAL COURSES

These comprise (A) the successful completion of a four-year high-school or academy course, qualifying the student to enter the Junior College (Freshman class) of the University of Chicago, and (B) 18 majors (=6 quarters) of the usual college course, or a full equivalent therefor.

HIGH-SCHOOL WORK REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION TO THE JUNIOR COLLEGE (FRESHMAN CLASS) UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO

(a) The high-school work imperatively demanded of every student is fully described on p. 91. (b) Students intending to study medicine are strongly advised to take in the high school 2 units of Latin (Elementary Grammar and Caesar), 3 units of German or French, 1 unit each of Chemistry and Physicswith laboratory work-and unit of Trigonometry. If these branches have not been taken in the high school, they must be taken as part of the college work required for admission (see (B) above]. A diploma is not accepted as sufficient evidence of such preparation, but specific statement is required as to the amount and character of the work in each branch of study. Blanks are furnished by the University for the presentation of such credits, and will be mailed on application to the Dean of Medical Students.

Such credits are accepted without examination from affiliated or co-operating schools (see p. 93), also from the accredited schools of certain state universities. Students from schools not recognized by the University must submit to examination in the branches required.

1. Times and places of examinations.-Examinations for admission are held three times a year at the University. (For dates see p. 94.)

2. Fee for examination for admission.—A fee of $5 is charged for examination for admission. This is paid when the first examination is taken. The same fee is paid by students entering upon certificate from co-operating schools.

3. Students from the University High School and the affiliated and co-operating schools are admitted to the University upon presentation of a subject certificate covering each of the subjects stated above as required for admission.

4. Credits from other than affiliated or co-operating schools.-Credits for work done at high schools or academies not affiliated or co-operating will be accepted provisionally, provided the principal of the school will certify that the applicant has done good work in the school, and that he is willing the student's credits should be accepted by the University of Chicago as a test of the character of the work done in that school. By provisional acceptance of credit it is meant that such acceptance will be withdrawn if the student's work in the University during his first two quarters of residence fails to show that his preparation was adequate in the branches for which he sought credit.

COLLEGE WORK REQUIRED FOR ADMISSION

Eighteen majors (two years) of college work must have been taken, and this work must have included the following branches:

1. Chemistry-(a) 3 majors of Inorganic Chemistry (or 2 majors, if 1 unit of high-school Chemistry with laboratory work has been taken). (b) 1 major of Organic Chemistry. (c) 1 major of Qualitative Analysis. This work in Chemistry corresponds to the courses Chemistry 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 (see Department of Chemistry, Part II of this Register). The student is advised to take Quantitative Analysis, but this is not required.

2. Physics 4 majors of Physics (or 2 majors, if 1 unit of high-school Physics has been taken). This work in Physics corresponds to the courses Physics,1, 2, 3, and 4 (see Department of Physics, Part II).

3. Two majors General Biology equivalent to Zoology 1 and 2 (see Department of Zoology, Part II), or to Zoölogy 1 and Botany 1.

4. A reading knowledge of German or of French (ordinarily 2 units of highschool or 4 majors of college work). This qualification is determined by an efficiency test given for 1914-15, on November 28, 1914.

5. Three majors of Latin (Caesar and Elementary Grammar) unless 2 units have been completed in high school.

Attention is called to the fact that the extra credits which will be required in addition to high-school work may be secured in the Colleges of Arts, Literature, and Science of the University of Chicago by attendance during extra quarters before entering the Medical Courses, or, in small part, by taking extra work in these Colleges during the student's attendance upon the Medical Courses. A student may qualify for admission to the Medical Courses by prolonging his attendance or taking extra work in the University. Credit will be accepted for such work in any other college or university of equal standing.

ADMISSION TO ADVANCED STANDING

Students are admitted to advanced standing in the Medical Courses of the University as follows:

Students from other medical schools whose standards are fully equivalent to those of this institution may receive credit for time spent-estimated in months -and for work successfully completed in such institutions, provided it is equivalent to corresponding work in the Medical Courses in the University. Such a student should give an explicit statement in regard to his preliminary education before beginning the study of Medicine, the date of beginning and ending of each session attended in a medical college, together with the name of the college and a statement of the studies which he has successfully completed, this latter statement setting forth, if possible, the exact number of hours given to each subject. The credit claimed in each branch must be passed upon by the Dean of Medical Students or by the head of the corresponding department at the University.

Application blanks.—Blanks for presenting these credits will be furnished on application to the Dean of Medical Students. A student may matriculate at any time, in person or by correspondence.

Students seeking admission to advanced standing are urgently advised to enter for the Summer Quarter.
