OUR NEW COURSES. 



Beginning next fall changes in our courses in Pharmacy will go in 

 effect. Only the University course is affected by the change which 

 consist in higher preliminary requirements as well as in longer time 

 of study. The two-year course for the degree of Ph.C. will be re- 

 l)laced by a three years' course leading to the same degree. An addi- 

 tional fourth year will lead to a "Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy" 

 (B. S. in Phar). The degree of Phar.D. will be conferred upon 

 students who have successfully completed two more years of work 

 after having acquired the B. S. _ This makes six years of study for
