The  different  classes  of  food  products  will  be  taken  up. 
The  study  of  preservative  and  coloring  matters  needed  in  order  to  detect 
adulteration  and  sophistication  of  food  products  will  also  be  carried  out  in 
fullest  degree. 
During  this  second  year  it  is  proposed  to  have  in  addition  a  special  course 
of  lectures  to  be  given  at  frequent-intervals  by  experts  in  different  lines  covered 
by  the  course  of  instruction,  who  will  constitute  a  corps  of  special  lecturers 
chosen  because  of  their  acknowledged  position  and  authority  in  different  lines 
of  work.  A  great  variety  of  important  special  topics  can  thus  be  presented 
that  would  be  impossible  to  have  in  the  ordinary  lectures  and  laboratory  exer- 
cises. It  is  the  intention  to  cover  in  this  course  various  lines  of  manufacturing 
chemistry  as  related  to  food  products,  and  the  commerce  of  staple  articles, 
including  the  importation  and  exportation  of  crude  and  manufactured  pro- 
ducts. 
QUALIFICATIONS  FOR  ENTRANCE. 
Candidates  for  this  course  of  instruction  will  be  expected  to  satisfy  the 
Dean  of  the  Course  of  their  possessing  such  an  amount  of  previous  scholastic 
education  or  practical  training  as  to  enable  them  to  take  up  the  work  of  the 
first  year  as  given. 
Those  completing  the  first-year  course  and  graduates  of  the  Philadelphia 
College  of  Pharmacy,  and  other  institutions  having  either  a  complete  course 
leading  to  the  pharmaceutical  degree,  or  a  scientific  course  leading  to  the  same, 
will  be  admitted  to  the  second  year  of  this  course  in  food  and  drug  analysis, 
on  presentation  of  their  diplomas  and  transcript  of  their  college  record  and 
approval  of  the  same  by  the  Dean. 
SUMMER  PREPARATORY  COURSE. 
Recognizing  the  urgency  of  the  present  demand  for  skilled  analysts,  and 
in  answer  to  the  expressed  desire  of  many  graduates  of  pharmacy  schools  to 
prepare  themselves  for  this  work,  the  trustees  have  arranged  for  a  summer  pre- 
paratory course  for  the  spring  and  summer  of  1907,  to  begin  May  20th,  and 
continue  until  the  latter  part  of  September.  This  is  intended  to  afford  gradu- 
ates and  others  of  mature  years  and  practical  experience  the  opportunity  of 
preparing  themselves  by  a  rapid  review  of  the  work  indicated  as  belonging  to 
the  first  year  of  this  course,  to  enter  in  the  fall  of  1907  upon  the  regular  second 
year  of  this  course. 
For  all  but  the  most  recent  graduates  this  review  of  the  chemical,  phar- 
maceutical, botanical  and  microscopical  work  above  enumerated  is  practically 
indispensable  for  the  successful  prosecution  of  the  detailed  work  of  the  second 
year. 
FEES. 
The  complete  fee  for  each  of  the  two  years  of  this  course,  covering  all 
lectures  and  laboratory  instruction,  shall  be  $150. 
The  fee  for  the  summer  preparatory  course  shall  be  $100.  The  usual  matric- 
ulation fee  of  $5  is  required  of  all  students  in  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  whether  in  regular  or  special  courses.  This  is  paid  but  once,  on  the 
entrance  of  the  student  to  any  instruction  in  the  College.
