LIBRARY

The College has for several years had a reference library of several thousand volumes. This library owes its foundation to the gift to the College of the collection of books of the late Prof. A. Reeves Jackson. It has been added to largely from time to time by contributions from members of the faculty and other friends of the College. Its usefulness has recently been greatly augmented by gifts from the Dean of the Faculty, in consideration of which, and of provision made for its permanent maintenance and growth, it has been named by the faculty the Quine Library. It already contains practically every book of reference required by medical students, and the important medical periodicals. In point of size and completeness it is the second medical library in Chicago, the Newberry Library being the first, and in attendance of readers it is the first. It is in charge of a trained librarian, and is open daily from nine to five for the use of students.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

Extract from "Code of Rules," in effect session 18991900, National Association Dental Faculties:

"The minimum preliminary educational requirements for the session of 1900-1901 of colleges, members of the National Association of Dental Faculties, shall be a certificate of entrance into the second year of a high school, or its equivalent, the preliminary examination to be placed in the hands of any State Superintendent of Public Instruction."

Students desiring to matriculate should bring and present to the School any diplomas, literary or otherwise, which they possess.

The rules and regulations passed by the National Association of Dental Faculties for the government of the Colleges of the Association have been adopted by the faculty of this institution.

"Beginning with last year a radical change has been made by dental schools in the method of examination for admission. Formerly these examinations were made by the officers of the Dental School, but the Faculties' Association, at the Omaha meeting in 1898, passed a rule requiring that these examinations be made by the legally constituted officers of instruction of the locality in which the applicant resides.

"Therefore students desiring to matriculate in this School must bring with them credentials signed by a County or State Superintendent of Schools, a City Superintendent of Schools or a principal of a high school.

"These credentials must show the applicant to have progressed in his studies to the grade of the second year of the high school, or its equivalent, in order to entitle him to enter this school for the term beginning October, 1901. These credentials will not be required of applicants who present diplomas from high-schools or colleges." These rules apply to first year students only.

THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY

(For Faculty of School of Pharmacy, see p. 26.)

HISTORY

The Chicago College of Pharmacy is a corporation which was founded by prominent pharmacists of Chicago and vicinity in 1859 for the purpose of advancing the practice of pharmacy. One of the first steps taken was the establishment of a school of pharmacy. At that time there was no school of the kind west of the Alleghany Mountains. Members and friends contributed money, books, apparatus, and supplies; teachers were secured and a course of lectures was instituted in November, 1859.

The first class, of but two students, was 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.

"The Pharmacist," a monthly journal published by the College, from 1866 until 1886, did much to advance the interests of pharmacy in the West.

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.
