Students of both sexes are admitted on equal terms.

The monthly report of attendance, and the standing of pupils in quizzes, recitations, laboratory work and in infirmary practice, both operative and prosthetic, is considered in making up the rating of final examinations.

For further information regarding credentials of admission other than already specified, communicate with the Dean.

Graduates of reputable medical colleges are admitted to the second year's class, and are excused from lectures and examinations upon general anatomy, chemistry, histology, pathology and physiology, but are required to take lectures and examinations in special materia medica and therapeutics, pathology, histology, operative and prosthetic technics, in accordance with the rules of the National Association of Dental Faculties.

Students presenting passing grades from other recognized schools covering subjects required in this college, will be credited with such grades. Persons presenting A.B. or B.S. from recognized institutions will be credited.

The degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery is conferred on students who complete the three year course of instruction, perform the work required and pass satisfactory examinations. To be eligible to the degree, the student must be twenty-one years of age, possess a good moral character, and must have paid all fees.

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION

Instruction is given by means of lectures and recitations, demonstrations and laboratory work. The time of the student is about equally divided between laboratory and clinical work on the one hand, and lectures and recitations on the other. The work of each session will be

complete in itself, hence a graded course. Credits are given as the work proceeds.

Students are admitted to the laboratories from the beginning of the first year. The laboratory work is so arranged as to maintain the best relationship to the lectures and clinical studies.

In the clinical work, methods both of investigation and of reasoning are carefully and systematically taught. The diagnosis, prognosis and indications for treatment will receive no less attention than the methods of construction and the technique of procedures.

Fees' are payable in advance. Students unable to meet these requirements must make satisfactory arrangements with the DEAN or ACTUARY at the beginning of the course.

This announcement applies to the session beginning October 9, 1906, and all requirements, fees and regulations mentioned in it apply to this school year alone. The Trustees of the University reserve the right of making changes in succeeding announcements.

These conditions cannot be modified except upon the written consent of the proper officials of the University.

For such students as intend practicing in states requiring a four-year course there will be ample provision made.

Good board and rooms convenient to the school can be obtained at prices varying from three to five dollars a week, according to the accommodations; also vacant rooms without board, furnished or unfurnished, can be obtained at from six to ten dollars per month.

THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY

(For Faculty of School of Pharmacy see p. 41).

HISTORY

The School of Pharmacy was originally the Chicago College of Pharmacy and was incorporated under that name, September 5th, 1859. Prior to that time there were but three schools of pharmacy in the country and these were located in the eastern states.

While the primary object of the institution was to provide instruction in the science and art of pharmacy, yet other functions were also developed. Thus, a code of ethics was early adopted by the members, successful efforts were made to bring about better relations between pharmacists and physicians, the pioneer pharmaceutical library was established and for eighteen years, beginning with 1868, a monthly journal, "The Pharmacist"-the first of its kind in the West--was published.

In October, 1859, the first course of lectures was instituted, occupying three evenings a week for a period of six months. Of the first class, but two students were graduated in 1861. The war caused a suspension of the teaching, and the school was not reopened until 1870. The great fire, in 1871, destroyed the equipment, but pharmacists throughout Europe and America extended help to the institution, furnishing an excellent library and outfit of apparatus, which became the nucleus of the present complete equipment. In 1872 the instruction was resumed for the second time and has since continued without interruption.

In 1880 the members and graduates of the College took an active part in the formation of the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association, which, in the following year, secured the passage of the pharmacy law.

The twenty-fitfh anniversary of the founding of the College was signalized by the removal of the College to a larger building at 465 State street. Up to this time instruction had been given mainly by means of lectures, laboratory work being entirely optional. Laboratory courses in pharmacy, chemistry and vegetable histology were now made obligatory. A laboratory devoted entirely to prescription compounding was established in 1892.

The College was formally united with the University May 1, 1896, and is now conducted as the technical "School of Pharmacy of the University of Illinois." In the management of the School, the trustees and officers of the University have the assistance of an advisory board of pharmacists, elected by the registered pharmacists of the State through the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association.

NEW BUILDING

The School of Pharmacy is located in the building formerly occupied by the Chicago Manual Training School, at Michigan boulevard and Twelfth street. The building is a substantial brick structure, five stories in height, with a frontage of fifty feet on Michigan avenue and one hundred and seventy feet on Twelfth street. There are large windows on four sides, giving excellent light, and the rooms are heated by steam throughout.

The location is an ideal one, being near the center of the city and convenient to the various lines of transportation, yet removed from the noise and bustle of the business district.

A half block east of the building is the Illinois Central Depot, and one block west are the Cottage Grove avenue, the Indiana avenue and the Twelfth street surface lines,

and the Twelfth street station of the South Side Elevated Railroad.

On Michigan avenue, immediately south of the School, are to be found some of the best low-priced boarding and rooming places in the city. Satisfactory accommodations may be readily secured within a short distance of the School.

EQUIPMENT

The entire east end of the building is occupied by lecture halls, of which there are four, arranged one above the other and having a seating capacity of from one hundred and twenty to three hundred persons.

The laboratories are five in number and together have work-stands sufficient for three hundred and thirty-two students working at the same time. Adjoining the halls and the laboratories are preparation rooms of ample size for the use of the professors and instructors. All the rooms have excellent light and ventilation and abundant blackboard space. The supply of compound miscroscopes, analytical balances and special apparatus is exceptionally complete and the collections of crude drugs, medicinal plants, chemicals and pharmaceutical products are varied and extensive.

The library contains about two thousand volumes, including, in addition to the usual works of reference, many rare books. Complete files of the leading pharmaceutical journals are an important feature.

COURSE OF INSTRUCTION

The course of instruction is divided into a junior and a senior year, each seven months in length, and affords opportunity for a thorough technical training, such as is necessary for the successful practice of pharmacy or as a preparation for some special line of related work. The subjects taught are chemistry, general, pharmaceutical and analytical; pharmacy, theoretical, manufacturing and dispensing; botany; physiology and materia medica.
