(1) A course in Elementary Chemistry. 
(2) A course in Advanced Chemistry. 
(3) A course in Physics. 
(4) A course in Biology. 
These courses are designed especially for teachers, but are open to 
all earnest. workers. It is believed that they will be well adapted to 
the needs of any student of natural science, giving, for example, an’ 
excellent introduction to the study of medicine or pharmacy. They 
will also be valuable to those who, either as teachers or scholars, are 
preparing to meet natural science requirements for admission to col- 
lege. They will consist largely of practical work in the laboratory, 
and it is doubtful if any college laboratories in the country have’ 
superior facilities for this purpose. 
Each elementary course will consist of lectures and laboratory work 
for two hours a day on five days of the week. No exercises will be 
held on Saturdays. Students in the advanced chemistry course can 
work in the laboratory as many hours a day as the instructor thinks 
advisable. A student in a single elementary course is not entitled to 
more than the regular time of work for that course, ten hours per 
week, 
The fees for the courses, paid invariably in advance, are as follows: 
For two or three elementary courses, $20. 
For a single elementary course, $10. 
For advanced chemistry, $15. 
An extra charge will be made for chemicals used and apparatus in- 
jured in any course. Experience proves that such charge need not 
exceed three dollars. 
Board and lodging can be obtained in er at a cost of from 
$4 to $6 per week. 
Occasional evening lectures on scientific: topics of a general nature 
may be expected from the different instructors. 
The next Meeting of the American Microscopical Society 
will he held at Cornell University in Ithaca, N. Y., August 21, 22 and 
23, 1895, that is, the week previous to the meeting of the American 
Association for the Advancement of Science, which is to be held in 
Springfield, Mass. 
The unsurpassed beauty of the location of the University, and the 
richness of both its terrestrial and aquatic fauna and flora, make this 
an ideal place for holding the meeting. It is equally attractive to the
