In  1894  the  University  of  Dorpat  suffered  a  change  in  its  administration.  Its 
name  was  changed  to  the  Russian  Jurgjew,  the  German  scientific  spirit  was 
abandoned,  and  Professor  Dragendorff,  among  others,  left  the  University.  He 
then  returned  to  the  home  of  his  youth  and  built,  in  connection  with  his 
home,  a  laboratory,  where  he  continued  his  investigations  and  writings.  Drag- 
endorff belongs  to  the  pioneers  of  this  century,  a  few  of  whom  still  remain. 
In  forensic  chemistry  and  the  methods  for  performing  plant  and  toxicologi- 
cal  analyses  he  has  been  the  recognized  author  and  guide.  He  belongs 
with  Maisch,  Fliickiger,  Hager,  Trimen,  Procter,  all  of  whom  have  gone  to 
their  rest,  and  yet  with  whose  labors  the  science  of  pharmacy  was  enriched  and 
with  whose  influence  the  profession  of  pharmacy  was  elevated  and  honored. 
The  Admission  of  United  States  Students  to  French  Schools,  according  to 
General  Horace  Porter,  United  States  Ambassador  to  France,  cannot  be  secured 
without  the  formal  application  of  their  diplomatic  representative.  Nor  can 
any  foreign  student  be  admitted  to  any  of  the  schools  of  France— medicine, 
pharmacy,  dentistry,  veterinary,  painting,  design,  architecture,  music,  decla- 
mation, engineering,  etc. — without  this  formality.  In  most  cases  two  letters 
suffice  ;  one  making  application,  the  other  expressing  thanks  when  the  request 
is  granted.  Sometimes  more  correspondence  is  necessary,  for  the  reason  that 
those  proposing  to  enter  any  of  the  high-grade  schools  have  to  produce  cer- 
tain certificates  of  studies,  or  diplomas,  which  the  authorities  accept  only  when 
they  come  through  the  embassy.  No  discrimination  is  made  against  Ameri- 
cans ;  on  the  contrary,  the  authorities  extend  all  possible  facilities  to  them. 
There  is  a  large  number  of  American  students  in  Paris,  and,  as  a  rule,  they  are 
much  liked  by  the  teachers  in  French  institutions. — Consular  Reports,  Vol.
