FOUNDATION.

The Department of Pharmacy was established in 1897 and was opened for students in September of that year. Its location at the seat of the University assures to its students the most modern scientific instruction with all the laboratory facilities of the academic department, as well as the courses of instruction in allied branches. These opportunities will meet the requirements of a large number of students who were compelled heretofore to obtain their pharmaceutical education in other States. Briefly stated, the advantages are as follows:

1. Thorough, careful, individual training.

3.

2. The practical experience derived from active work in the laboratories. Intimate association with the other departments of the University, to all of which the student of pharmacy has access, and the daily contact with students pursuing various branches of learning.

4. The use of the large library and reading room and the well equipped gymnasium.

5. The comparatively small cost at which a two-years' course may be obtained.

6. The length of the course, which consists of two sessions of nine months each,-nearly a fourth longer than in many of the Colleges of Pharmacy.

The success of the students of this Department in their examinations before State Boards has been very gratifying. Students of this Department have been applicants before the State Boards of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina. None of the graduates of this Department applying for license before State Boards have failed to pass the examinations.

ADMISSION.

Candidates for admission into the Department of Pharmacy should present themselves on the same days and at the same hours with candidates for admission into the College. For the next academic year, these days will be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, September 10, 11, or 12, 1906, and Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, January 1, 2, or 3. 1907. The session

of the Department of Pharmacy is of the same length as the College year, beginning September 10, 1906, and ending June 5, 1907.

Candidates for the degree of Ph.G. must be, on entering, at least 17 years old, and must have completed a high school course of study.

The members of the Department of Pharmacy enjoy all the privileges extended to other students in the University.

The charges of each term are payable at the beginning of the term. They are as follows:

Registration and incidental fees.... 12.50

The Gilpin Langdon Prize, offered by Messrs. Gilpin Langdon & Co., of Baltimore, Md., will be given to the student making the best line of prep arations in the pharmaceutical laboratory

Prizes will also be given:

1. For the best thesis.

2.

For the best collection of native medicinal herbs

3. For the best exhibit of chemical salts made by a second year student.

4.

For the best work in the recognition of materia medica specimens. 5. To the student recognizing the largest number of pharmaceutical preparations.

EXAMINATIONS.

Final examinations are held at the end of each term on the subjects embraced in the course.

Quizzes upon the different branches are regularly held. Specimen quizzes upon Materia Medica, Chemistry, and Pharmacy are held once a week, and consist in the recognition and correct writing of the official name of the specimens presented.

Students are required to make an average of 70 per cent. on all examinations and quizzes.

COURSE LEADING TO THE DEGREE OF GRADUATE OF

PHARMACY.

In order to be recommended for the degree of Graduate of Pharmacy (Ph.G.), the student must have completed with credit the course of study outlined below. This course extends over two sessions of nine months each. The student must have completed the work of both sessions in the Department of Pharmacy of this University, or of one session (the second) here after one in some other recognized college of Pharmacy. He must obtain satisfactory marking in attendance and make a general average of 70 per cent. in the various branches, and submit a satisfactory thesis. The thesis must be an original essay embodying the results of the student's personal research in some branch of pharmacy, which he has prosecuted under the direction of the professor who has assigned him the subject. The subject of such thesis must be announced on or before February 1 to the Dean of the Faculty. On May 2 the thesis shall be read before the Dean of the Department, subject to criticism and correction. The corrected and approved thesis must be handed to the Registrar in

type-written form on or before May 15. It will be published at the discretion of the Dean of the Department. He must also have had a practical experience of at least four years with some qualified pharmacist in a dispensing store. Satisfactory evidence on this point must be submitted to the Dean of the Department, and a certificate deposited with the Registrar on or before May 15. Students who have not had the full four years' experience will be permitted to stand examinations for graduation; but their diplomas will be withheld until they shall have satisfied this requirement. Of the three years of experience required for license by the State Board of Pharmacy, the work done in the Pharmaceutical laboratory will count for one and only one.
