THE SIX-YEAR MEDICAL COURSE In addition to the usual four years' medical course, the University offers a six years' continuous course in general science and medicine. This course leads to the degree of bachelor of arts upon the completion of four years' work, and to the degree of doctor of medicine at the end of the six years' course. It includes everything contained in the four years' medical course, and in addition enables the student to go more deeply than would otherwise be possible into the fundamental sciences upon which medical studies are based. Students who wish so to combine their work in general science with their professional studies in medicine as to receive both degrees may accomplish this purpose by pursuing at the University in Urbana the three years' work described below, including a year of medical studies, and then continuing their medical work at the Medical Department in Chicago. The first three years' work must include all the subjects in the general prescribed list, page 97, (including the second alternative in Chemistry), and the following list of studies, especially prescribed for this course: Art and Design 1. Latin, 8 hours.1 Physics 2a; 8 hours. Physiology I, or 1 and 2. The prescribed studies should be taken according to the following prospectus: PROSPECTUS OF PRESCRIBED COURSES First Year I. Art and Design 1; Elementary Chemistry (Chem. 1); Rhetoric and Themes (Rhet. 1); Military 2; Physical Training for Men 1, 3; for Women 7, 9; Trigonometry (Math. 4); Zoology 10. 2.

Fourth Year Students who complete the above three years of prescribed work at the University, together with electives 'If Latin has not been offered for entrance. sufficient to amount to 97 hours' credit, will be given the degree of bachelor of arts at the commencement next following the completion at the Medical College of the work in human anatomy, physiology of the special senses and of the nervous system, therapeutics, general pathology, pathological anatomy, and surgical pathology (virtually one year's work). The following subjects included in the above prospectus also count toward the medical degree: Chemistry (general, organic, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and Toxicology), Biology (Zoology), Physiology, Normal Histology, Embryology, and Bacteriology. Upon the satisfactory completion of the remaining three years of the medical course the University will confer the degree of doctor of medicine. COURSE IN LIBRARY SCIENCE To graduate with the degree of bachelor of arts in library science the candidate must take the subjects of the prescribed list on page 97, including the first alternative in chemistry, and also library science 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 14. He must further take 40 hours' work from the list of major electives, and additional studies necessary to complete the 130 hours required for graduation, which may be selected from any University department subject to the approval of the Dean of the College.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENTS ASTRONOMY.-The Astronomical Observatory contains a 12-inch equatorial telescope, a 3-inch combined transit and zenith telescope, both by Warner and Swasey, and Brashear, two small equatorials, a Riefler clock, three chronometers, and a number of small instruments for student use. A master clock for the electrical control of the various clocks on the University campus is mounted in the clock room of the Observatory. BOTANY. The botanical laboratories are: One of large size with full equipment of microscopes, microtomes, aquaria, models, charts, etc., for general work; one especially arranged for instruction and research in vegetable physiology, having attached a glazed structure, two stories in height, adapted to facilitate experiments upon living plants and to grow specimens required in the laboratories; one fitted up for bacteriological instruction and investigation (in agricultural building) supplied with the necessary apparatus and materials; and several smaller apartments for special purposes. The department is provided also with a room for the herbarium and facilities for work in connection therewith; work-rooms for the preparation of specimens; storagerooms for apparatus, utensils, reagents, and materials; dark room for photography, and rooms for offices. Special attention has been given to parasitic fungi; and the collection of specimens and of literature upon the subject is ample for various lines of original investigation. CERAMICS.-Much of the student's work is done in the regular classes and laboratories of the well equipped departments of chemistry, physics, geology, and engineering, where he comes in contact with students who are specializing in those subjects. His purely technical work is carried on in laboratories newly furnished with the necessary machines, kilns, and furnaces. The close relations which obtain between the department and the Clay workers' Association of Illinois and also with the Geological Survey, whose investigations in clays are made in our laboratories, afford the student exceptional facilities for contact with both practical work and experienced clay workers. CHEMISTRY.—The chemical building has a total floor area of approximately 80,000 square feet. Two main laboratories, with desk room for 350 students, are devoted to general chemistry. Two other main laboratories, with room for 80 students each, are equipped for analytical and organic chemistry. Smaller laboratories are provided for special work in sanitary chemistry, physical chemistry, metallurgy and assaying, gas analysis, food investigation, coal survey and constant temperature rooms for calori metry. Special laboratories are also equipped for conducting the chemical survey of the waters of the state, and for doing the chemical work of the engineering experiment station. Numerous small research rooms are provided for special individual work. The chemical library is well supplied with sets of the more important journals and current periodicals. Especially noteworthy is the addition to the seminary equipment of the Palmer Memorial Library, available to all chemical students under suitable restrictions. ENTOMOLOGY.-This department utilizes for purposes of instruction the entomological collections, library, and equipment belonging to the University or made immediately available to students by the State Laboratory of Natural History and the office of the State Entomologist, both permanently established here.
