Descriptive (Inorganic) Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis sufficient to fit them to pursue the courses in Chemistry given at the Medical School; * or, failing in this, to pass an examination in General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis. Students who are unable to fulfil either of these requirements may enter conditioned in Chemistry; but no student will be permitted to take part in any exercise of the third class, or to present himself for examination in the subjects of that class, until deficiencies in General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis have been made up.

The admission examination in General Chemistry (at which time also the note-books in Qualitative Analysis must be handed in) is held at the Medical School, 688 Boylston Street, Boston, at 12 o'clock noon on the Thursday following the last Wednesday in June, and on the last Wednesday in September. The examination is conducted in writing. Specimen examination papers may be found in the Medical School Catalogues.

In and after September, 1907, a knowledge of elementary Organic Chemistry will be required for admission.

Applicants for admission to the Medical School who have studied three years in recognized colleges, or technical or scientific schools, in which courses in Human Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, and Physiological Chemistry are a part of the instruction, may be admitted to advanced standing, provided they pass an examination in these subjects, and possess the other requirements for admission.

A graduate of another medical school of recognized standing may obtain the degree of M.D. at this University, after a year's study in the undergraduate. course, by passing all examinations required in the full undergraduate course, and by fulfilling all requirements for admission. These examinations may be taken only at the times set for the regular examinations in September, February (mid-year examinations), and June.

DIVISION OF STUDENTS.

Students are divided into four classes according to their time of study and proficiency. No student may advance with his class, or be admitted to advanced standing, until he has passed the required examinations in the studies of the previous year, or a majority of them; nor may he become a member of the third class, until he has passed all the examinations of the first, including the admission examinations in Chemistry,

The Summer Course in General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis given at the Medical School is adapted to students about to enter the Medical School.

The course as now given to the first-year class comprises both physiological and pathological chemistry. Men applying for advanced standing who pass in physiological chemistry but not in pathological chemistry will be admitted with a condition in pathological chemistry and given an opportunity to make up the condition either by work in that subject during the latter part of the second half-year or by taking a summer course, and passing a satisfactory examination.

NOTE:- Subjects in which an examination is required are in roman letters. The number following the name of the examination indicates the length in hours of the examination. In the fourth year, electives must be chosen whose examinations shall aggregate three hours. * Examination in February. †These electives count as one-hour electives. Examination in Third Year.

and in addition a majority of those of the second year; nor of the fourth class, until he has passed all of the examinations of the first and second years, in addition to a majority of those of the third year.

No student will be permitted to continue his membership in the School if at the beginning of his second year he has passed none of the first-year examinations.

In order that the time of study shall count as a full year, students of all classes must register on Thursday, the first day of the academic year. Beginning with the academic year 1906-07 students of the third and fourth years will be required to devote themselves exclusively to work in the School.*

Students who began their professional studies in other recognized Medical Schools may be admitted to advanced standing; but all persons who apply for admission to the advanced classes must furnish a satisfactory certificate of time spent in medical studies, must pass examinations in the branches already pursued by the class to which they seek admission, and fulfil all other requirements for admission.

Any student may obtain a certificate of his period of connection with the School.
