THEORY AND PRACTICE OF PHARMACY. FIRST OR JUNIOR YEAR. Didactic and Operative. Lectures and laboratory work. Professor SEARBY. The pharmacopoeias of Western nations, the systems of weights and measures in use by them, and the apparatus employed for weighing and measuring; specific gravity and the methods of estimating the same; the application of heat to pharmacy and of the measurement of heat by different thermometers; the simpler operations of pharmacy. The various processes of extraction employed in pharmacy are then considered, such as infusion, decoction, maceration, digestion, percolation or displacement, repercolation, expression, etc. Then the practical operation of these processes is shown in the preparation of the official waters, syrups, infusions, decoctions, tinctures, followed by mixtures, emulsions, ointments, cerates, oleates, etc. SECOND OR SENIOR YEAR. Didactic and Operative. Professor SEARBY. Lectures and reviews, followed by laboratory work on the manufacture of chemical syrups, the official liquors, solid and fluid extracts, suppositories, pills, tablets, triturates, troches, effervescing granular salts, scale salts, spirits, resins, glucosides, alkaloids, etc. Prescription Work.-About twelve lectures as well as the actual dispensing of prescriptions. These deal with all the details of the management of the prescription counter, the subject of incompatibilities being fully considered. Many difficut or obscure prescriptions are submitted to the students, who are called upon to deal with them as they deem best. Their knowledge of weights, measures, percentages, doses, etc., as well as their skill in compounding, are tested by this work in the laboratory. BOTANY, MATERIA MEDICA, PHARMACOGNOSY, AND PHYSIOLOGY. FIRST OR JUNIOR YEAR. Courses 1 and 5 are continuous lecture and recitation courses during the first year. Courses 2, 3, and 4 are continuous laboratory Study of the optical properties of mirrors and lenses, and the mechanism and manipulation of the compound microscope. This course is a necessary preparation for Courses 3 and 4. 3. The Histology of the Cryptogams. Professor CAREY.

Lectures and recitations on the history, character, gross structure and properties of drugs. Two sessions each week. 7. Human Anatomy and Physiology. Professor CAREY. Lectures and recitations on the morphology and physiology of the human body. 8. Pharmacognosy. SECOND OR SENIOR YEAR. Professor SCHNEIDER. The macrascopical and microscopical study of the more important official and unofficial vegetable and animal drugs. 9. Materia Medica. Professor CAREY. Lectures and recitations on the properties, action, uses, and doses of drugs and their preparations, together with a discussion of poisons and their toxic effects and antidotes. 10. Bacteriology. Professor SCHNEIDER. Lectures, recitations, and occasional laboratory demonstrations. A general view of the subject with special reference to its bearings upon pharmaceutical practice. The course is also preparatory to the work of the third or graduate year. One lecture each week for the first term of the Senior year. 11. Economic Pharmaceutical Botany. Professor SCHNEIDER. Α Lectures on the history and commerce of vegetable drugs. special study of the cultivation of drug-yielding plants in California. TOXICOLOGY. DR. HAYDN M. SIMMONS. Lectures and recitations. History of Toxicology, with definitions of terms, and a sketch of the field of usefulness of this subject to the pharmacist. PHARMACAL JURISPRUDENCE. Mr. H. R. WILEY. Fifteen lectures to the senior class setting forth the rights and responsibilities of pharmacists and the laws affecting the same. GRADUATE COURSES. THIRD OR GRADUATE YEAR. This course is intended to meet the needs of two classes of persons-those desiring to continue their studies beyond the customary requirements for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist and to receive the Bachelor's degree, and those who wish for special instruction in the theory and technique of the branches of science included in a course in pharmacy but who are not candidates for graduation. Students desiring to obtain the degree of Phar.B., whether graduates of this college or of other colleges requiring equivalent qualifications for graduation, are admitted to this course without examination, if they were matriculated upon qualifications that would have admitted them to the College of Letters or of Science of the University of California. The course consists of thirty weeks' instruction, including quantitative chemical analysis, toxicology, the chemistry of the urine, bacteriology, the assay of drugs, foods, and pharmaceuticals, and advanced work in microscopy and pharmacognosy. Upon completing the course, presenting a thesis showing original work, and passing an examination, the successful candidate will receive the degree of Bachelor of Pharmacy. Other students who are not candidates for the Bachelor's degree, whether seeking to qualify themselves to serve as examiners under the Pure Food and Drug Laws or simply desiring special advanced instruction, will be admitted on giving proof by examination or otherwise of their fitness to take up the work with advantage to themselves and with credit to the college. Provision has been made for those who may wish to take this course but have not acquired the knowledge and technique of analytical chemistry and miseroscopy which are needed to pursue profitably the line of study required. Such persons will be required to do preliminary work in order to fit themselves for the course. On satisfactorily completing the course they will receive certificates certifying to the work which they have done. Chemistry: Analytical and Applied. Professor GREEN. A continuation of the Senior laboratory work, but in addition to dealing with the chemical examination of drugs and medicinal preparations, it aims to fit pharmacists to become analysts of foods. Histology of Foods and Drugs. Professor SCHNEIDER. A microscopical examination of food products and drugs and their more common adulterants. Bacteriology. Professor SCHNEIDER. Laboratory work. Occasional seminar meetings for the purpose of reading papers, comparing notes, and reporting progress. EXAMINATIONS. Junior Examination (for admission to the Senior class).—Junior students, whose rating shows satisfactory progress, receive certificates entitling them to admission to the Senior class at any subsequent session of the college within two years. Junior students who fail in more than two subjects are required to attend college another term. First-course students from other colleges of pharmacy, who desire to enter the Senior class of this college, are required to produce evidence of their fitness, or to pass an examination. Senior Examination.-Students in the Senior class are examined for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist at the end of the session, in Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, Pharmacy, Botany, Materia Medica, Pharmacognosy, Physiology, Toxicology, and the Transla tion of Prescriptions. Senior students who take the examination at the close of the term, and fail in more than two subjects, are required to pass the examinations in all the subjects next term. If they attend college the ensuing session, they may present themselves for examination at the end of the first semester, and if their examination proves satisfactory, they will be recommended to the Board of Regents for graduation. If they do not attend college, they will not be examined until the close of the term. Those who fail to obtain the required percentage of credits for their work in any of the laboratories are required again to attend such laboratory or laboratories. Graduating Theses. In the department of botany and pharmacography subjects for theses must be selected during the Junior year, so as to enable the prospective candidate for graduation to study, collect, and prepare the necessary material during the vacation. Certificates of Proficiency.-Certificates of proficiency will be issued to those students who have taken a partial examination and have passed in all of the branches in which they were examined; also to special students who pass in their special subjects; also to those candidates who pass in all branches, but are debarred from receiving their diplomas by their being less than twenty-one years old. No Certificate of Proficiency in Pharmacy will be issued unless the student has passed in all the branches. No Certificate of Proficiency in any subject will be issued unless the applicant shall have attained as high a percentage of credits in such subject as is required in that subject for graduation. CONDITIONS FOR GRADUATION. FOR THE DEGREE OF PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMIST (PH.C.). Every person to whom the diploma as Pharmaceutical Chemist (Ph.C.) shall be granted must fulfill the following conditions: 1. He must be of good moral character. 2.
