Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. — The  Board  of  Trustees  have  lately 
modified  the  requirements  for  graduation,  as  will  be  observed  from  the  adver- 
tisement of  this  School  upon  another  page.  Hereafter*  persons  will  not  be 
eligible  for  the  diploma  of  Graduate  in  Pharmacy  unless  they  have  served 
their  apprenticeship  in  a  store  or  stores  where  prescriptions  are  compounded. 
Persons  apprenticed  to  wholesale  druggists  or  manufacturers  may,  after  the 
usual  examinations,  obtain  a  Certificate  of  Proficiency  in  Materia  Medica  and 
Chemistry,  and,  after  a  subsequent  service  of  two  years  in  a  prescription  store, 
and  the  successful  passing  of  an  examination  in  theoretical  and  practical  phar- 
macy, will  then  receive  the  Diploma  of  the  College.  We  understand  that 
matriculants  of  the  College  of  former  years  will  be  permitted,  until  the  spring 
of  1874,  fro  compete  for  the  diploma  of  graduate,  under  the  old  regulations.
