The requirements given below are strictly minimum requirements. Premedical
students are advised to take more than thirty session-hours of college
work, either by spending an additional year in college or by taking thirty-three

In addition to the high-school work specified above, a candidate for admission
to the Department of Medicine must present evidence of the completion
in a manner satisfactory to this medical school of at least thirty session-hours
of collegiate work in a college approved by the Council on Medical
Education of the American Medical Association. A session-hour is the
credit value of one hour a week of lecture or recitation or two hours a week
of laboratory work throughout a session of at least thirty-two weeks, exclusive
of holidays. The subjects included in the thirty session-hours of college
work should be in accordance with the following schedule:
Required Subjects:

| Organic Chemistry (b) | 3 |

Credit Not Given for an Incomplete Course.
Credit can be accepted only when the student has a clear record on the
course consisting of 3 hours lecture and six hours laboratory weekly for
three trimesters and the student passes on two trimesters but fails on the
third, no credit for admission to medicine can be given for the portion of the
subject passed, even though the credit value of this work is four session-hours.
In all cases the student must have completed the entire subject for
which he is registered. Deficiencies of this kind may however be made up by
obtaining a clear record in the portion of the subject in which the failure has
occurred, without repeating the entire course.
