COMMITTEE  ON  EDUCATION  AND  SPECIAL  TRAINING 
Special  Bulletin  on  Program  in  Pharmacy 
The  program  here  presented  is  not  prescribed,  but  is  an  example 
of  what  will  be  approved.  It  is  intended  to  indicate  how  existing 
programs  may  be  modified  by  eliminations  and  condensations  so  as 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  present  emergency.  The  program  covers 
eight  terms  of  twelve  weeks,  but  it  must  not  be  inferred  that  every 
student  entering  on  such  a  course  will  be  kept  at  college  until  he 
completes  it.  The  time  that  he  will  be  permitted  to  pursue  the 
course  will  depend  on  the  needs  of  the  service  and  the  academic 
record  of  the  student.  In  addition  to  the  instruction  indicated  in 
the  program,  eleven  hours  per  week  of  military  instruction  are  pre- 
scribed for  the  first  three  terms  of  the  program,  and  six  hours  per 
week  for  the  remainder  of  the  program.  The  total  time  to  be  de- 
voted to  military  and  academic  instruction,  including  examinations^, 
lectures,  recitations,  laboratory  work  and  supervised  study,  is  53", 
hours  per  week.  The  hours  set  forth  in  the  program  represent  the 
total  time  devoted  each  week  to  the  subjects  named.  The  relation! 
of  the  time  given  to  study  to  that  assigned  to  lectures,  recitations 
and  laboratory  work  varies  considerably  with  the  nature  of  the  sub- 
ject, but  on  the  average  the  former  is  not  more  than  half  of  the  total 
time  allotted.  The  subject,  War  Issues,  which  must  be  combined 
with  English  Composition  is,  with  the  exceptions  indicated  in  Sec- 
tion 26  of  the  Regulations  of  the  S.  A.  T.  C,  prescribed  for  three 
terms  with  nine  hours. per  week  for  lectures,  recitations  and  study.
