branches  wiil  be  taught,  which  will  hereafter  be  omitted  from  the  senior  course, 
thus  affording  more  time  in  the  latter  for  necessary  details  and  a  more  extended 
range  of  instruction. 
2.  There  will  be  six  lecture  hours  per  week  for  each  class,  the  same  as  for  the 
undivided  class  heretofore.  The  lectures  to  the  two  classes  will  be  on  alternate 
days  so  as  to  afford  the  professors  ample  time  for  preparing  the  necessary  specimens, 
apparatus  and  experiments  in  illustration  of  the  lectures. 
3  Near  the  close  of  February  an  examination  of  the  junior  students  will  be 
held  j  the  examination  for  the  degree  of  Ph.G.  will,  as  heretofore,  take  place  early 
in  March. 
4.  For  admission  to  the  senior  course  the  juniors  will  be  required  to  successfully 
pass  the  examination  in  each  branch ;  those  failing  in  one  or  more  branches,  in 
February,  will  be  granted  another  examination  towards  the  end  of  September 
previous  to  the  beginning  of  the  lectures.  Students  who  have  attended  one  course 
of  instruction  in  some  other  College  of  Pharmacy,  before  entering  the  senior  course, 
will  be  required  to  prove  that  they  have  passed,  at  such  college,  an  examination  in 
all  the  branches  taught  to  the  juniors,  or  submit  to  the  examination  in  the  autumn. 
5.  Students  who,  previous  to  the  beginning  of  the  lectures  in  October  next,  may 
have  attended  one  full  course  of  lectures  in  this  or  another  College  of  Pharmacy,, 
will  be  entitled  to  admission  to  the  senior  course  without  previous  examination,  up 
to  and  including  the  lecture  course  for  1880-1881. 
It  will  be  observed  that  the  adopted  modifications  in  the  instruction  will  vastly 
increase  the  labors  of  the  professors,  but  at  the  same  time  afford  the  students  still 
greater  inducements  for  systematic  study  and  the  opportunity  of  obtaining  a  more 
thorough  professional  education  than  heretofore. 
At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  college,  held  in  March,  the  subject  of  a  social 
reception  to  the  members  of  the  college  and  their  ladies  had  been  introduced,  and 
referred  to  the  Board  of  Trustees,  who  appointed  a  committee  to  make  proper 
arrangements.  In  the  afternoon  of  May  21st  the  last  pharmaceutical  meeting  of 
the  session  was  held,  and  the  evening  of  the  same  day  had  been  selected  for  the 
reception.  About  an  hour  and  a  half  was  occupied  by  Prof.  Remington  in  experi- 
menting with  and  explaining  the  use  of  the  oxhydrogen  lantern  as  a  means  of 
instruction,  and  in  projecting  upon  the  screen  photographic  views  of  landscapes, 
buildings,  works  of  art,  portraits,  etc  ,  after  which  the  company  repaired  to  the 
museum.  This  had  been  handsomely  decorated  with  flags  and  exotic  plants  from 
the  hot-house  of  Dr.  G.  B.  Wood,  the  extensive  collections  of  the  college  were 
exposed  to  view,  and  in  the  adjoining  library  Prof.  Maisch's  flower  garden  had  been 
arranged,  consisting  of  the  large  models  of  flowers  imported  a  few  years  ago  and 
used  in  illustrating  his  lectures.  The  centre  of  the  museum  hall  was  occupied  with 
the  tastefully  arranged  refreshments  provided  for  the  occasion  ;  a  piano  had  been 
procured,  and  music  and  conversation  were  indulged  in  until  the  company  separated. 
The  reception  was  well  attended  by  ladies,  and  appeared  to  please  all  present  to 
such  a  degree  that  many  expressed  the  hope  that  similar  reunions  of  the  members 
of  the  College  might  be  arranged  from  time  to  time.
