College Improvements. 



Important changes, both in equipment 

 and curriculum, are announced by the 

 College, to take effect next year or in the 

 early future. 



In addition to a general overhauling 

 that the building will receive during the 

 summer months, there will be installed 

 enough ventilated steel cases, of the lat- 

 est and most approved pattern, to allow 

 each student to have a safe and conve- 

 nient place for storing his overcoat, over- 

 shoes, hat, umbrella, books, apparatus 

 and other property. Each student will 

 have his own key by which no other 

 locker can be opened. These lockers 

 will occupy the present coat room, but 

 there will be a considerable overflow, 

 which will be arranged around the walls 

 of the basement hall. 



Entrance Requirements. 



No changes in entrance requirements 

 are to be made before the fall of 191 8, 

 when the requirements will be two years' 

 of highschool work, or 30 Regents' 

 counts, for all pharmacy schools in the 

 State of New York. 



The new requirements for admission 

 to the College of Physicians and Sur- 

 geons of Columbia University will be 

 two years of college work, aggregating 

 72 points, as reckoned by Columbia Col- 

 lege for the combined course, which shall 

 include one year of physics, one year of 



biology, one year of inorganic chemistry 

 based on college entrance chemistry, one- 

 half year of qualitative analysis and one- 

 half year of organic chemistry, two 

 years of college English and the equiva- 

 lent of courses A and B in either French 

 or German, of Columbia College. It 

 will thus be seen that our Ph. Ch. Course, 

 aggregating 98^ points, is far in ex- 

 cess of these general requirements. It 

 also meets the requirements as to each of 

 its elements, with the exception of the 

 languages, which must be studied as an 

 "extra." 



Other Changes. 



The evening courses will be greatly 

 enlarged and improved. Instead of oc- 

 cupying but one evening of the week, 

 as heretofore, so that the student was 

 compelled to elect the work of but one 

 department, each department will now 

 employ a different evening, those so 

 disposed being enabled to secure a full 

 course of instruction, consisting of three 

 hours' work weekly in each of the three 

 departments. This work has been for- 

 mally adopted by the University as a 

 regular part of its Extension Teaching. 



In the new prospectus, the two years 

 of the College Course will be respectively 

 designated as the "First" and "Second" 

 years, those of the University Course, 

 as the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and 

 Senior.
