mission the student is admitted to second- 

 year classes, but no credit is given for 

 elementary chemistry. 



6. Washington and Lee University. — 

 Students from secondary schools with the 

 equivalent of Remsen's "Briefer Course" 

 are admitted to a course including physico- 

 chemical topics and to qualitative analysis. 

 If they do Avell, they are excused from the 

 former at Christmas, and continue with 

 analytical chemistry; otherwise they con- 

 tinue the course in inorganic chemistry 

 through the year. A few students from 

 selected schools are admitted at once to 

 qualitative analysis, but no college credit 

 is given. 



7. Washington and Jefferson Univer- 

 sity.— Students from a few selected 

 schools are given credit for the first year 

 of chemistry in college, provided they take 

 a later course in chemistry and attain a 

 high pass record. Others are required to 

 pass an examination before any credit is 

 given. Chemistry is given in the sopho- 

 more year in this institution. 



8. Wellesley College.— An advanced 

 course is provided for those .students who 

 have had a year of chemistry. Smith's 

 "College Chemistry" is used, and a some- 

 what exacting line of experiments is re- 

 quired. Some quantitative experiments, 

 some volumetric analysis and some inor- 

 ganic preparations are included. 



9. Chicago University.— Students who 

 have completed one year of chemistry in 

 an accredited school are admitted to spe- 

 cial courses and complete the work pre- 

 paratory for qualitative analysis, or ele- 

 mentary organic chemistry, in about two 

 thirds of the time required by beginners; 

 that is, they complete two ma.jors in chem- 

 istry in place of three. The work of these 

 two majors is carefully adapted to utilize 

 and clarify the knowledge already gained. 



10. University of Michigan.— For a 

 year of chemistry at an accredited school 

 four hours of university credit are al- 

 lowed (sixteen hours per semester is full 

 credit). These students are admitted to 

 a course somewhat less elementary than: 

 that given to beginners. 



11. University of Illinois.— A full year' 

 of chemistry in a secondary school is ac- 

 cepted in place of one semester in the uni- 

 versity, provided no more chemistry is 

 taken (and provided chemistry is not of- 

 fered for entrance). "When the student 

 continues in chemical subjects he is ad- 

 vised to take the regular course of lectures 

 in chemistry, but spends less time in the 

 laboratory. 



12. Uiviversity of Wisconsin.— Qvedit is 

 given for entrance chemistry to the extent 

 of one or two units out of fourteen. These 

 students enter the same classes as the 

 others, but have a slightly different labora- 

 tory course. In the course of two months 

 they appear to be on about the same foot- 

 ing as those taking the subject anew. 



13. Lehigh University. — Up to two years 

 ago certain certificates were accepted from 

 secondary schools but the results were so 

 unsatisfactory that an examination has 

 been substituted. Those who fail take 

 elementary chemistiy; those who pass are 

 admitted to a course in theoretical chemis- 

 try. 



14. Sheffield Scientific School.— li the 

 student passes entrance chemistry, he is 

 allowed to take an examination to pass oif 

 the elementary course in the scientific 

 school, and if successful he is admitted to 

 qualitative analysis. Very few students 

 are thus admitted. 



15. Stevens Institute of Technology. — 

 Students pass an entrance examination 

 like that of the College Entrance Exami- 

 nation Board, but the instructor finds that 

 he can not make use of the earlier work^
