COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.

The following classes constitute the complete course in Pharmacy.
The work of each will be found described in detail elsewhere in this
catalogue, on the pages referred to.

General Chemistry:—This coincides with the class in General Chemistry
described at page 32.

Analytical Chemistry:—This coincides with the work of the First
Course in Analytical Chemistry (page 33) substituting practice in the
Preparation of Medicines and the Detection of Adulterations for Fire
Assaying and Determinative Mineralogy. Candidates for the degree in
Pharmacy are also required to take the Special Courses in Medical
Chemistry and Practical Pharmacy. For these no additional charge is
made.

Botany:—This coincides with the class in Botany described at p. 36.

Materia Medica:—This coincides with the class in Materia Medica
described at page 48.

The method of instruction is by systematic lectures, daily oral and
periodical written examinations. With this is combined the study of
assigned portions of suitable text-books, and in the laboratory courses
a large amount of practical work performed under the supervision of
the professor.
