 ment, sociology, economics and other academic 

 branches desirable for jireparation for journal- 

 ism. The course will cover four years, but a 

 combined course will be offered, in which both 

 the work in the College of Arts and Science 

 (the academic department) and the School of 

 Journalism can be taken in five years. Tui- 

 tion in this school, as in all departments of the 

 university, is free. 



Commencing in 1909 students entering the 

 College of Medicine of Syracuse University 

 must have satisfactorily completed one full 

 year, and on and after October, 1910, two full 

 years in a science or arts course in a college 

 recognized by the regents of the State of New 

 York and in that course and in their prepara- 

 tion for it a competent course in physics, 

 chemistry, Latin, one modern language and 

 biology must be included. The equivalent of 

 this requirement, that is, evidence of having 

 passed college examinations for admission to 

 the sophomore or junior class in a recognized 

 college by a student possessed of a medical 

 student certificate from the State Educational 

 Department, will be accepted. Hereafter all 

 chemistry except applied chemistry will be 

 taught in the new Bowne Chemical Labora- 

 tory of the College of Liberal Arts instead of 

 in the College of Medicine as heretofore.
