a similar Botanical Laboratory; a museum of Botany and an extensive
Herbarium; and a full set of specimens of Materia Medica.

The necessary Expenses of a student in the Department of Pharmacy,
with board at the lowest rate ($11), will be about $328, of which $225
must be paid on entrance. This is exclusive of the cost of books, stationery
