THE  PENNSYLVANIA  COLLEGES  OF  PHARMACY 
ANNOUNCE  ADVANCED  ENTRANCE 
REQUIREMENTS. 
The  following  is  a  copy  of  the  official  letter  addressed  to  the 
Pennsylvania  Board  of  Pharmacy,  advising  the  Board  of  the  ad- 
vances in  the  preliminary  education  unanimously  agreed  to  be  re- 
quired of  students  admitted  to  the  pharmacy  course  in  the  three 
schools  located  within  that  State.  This  evidences  the  intent  of 
these  schools  to  enforce  the  agreement  adopted  at  the  Indianapolis 
meeting  of  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical  Faculties. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  example  thus  set  by  the  Pennsylvania  schools 
in  this  official  notice,  will  be  followed  by  all  the  schools  of  pharmacy 
located  in  the  United  States  and  that  by  this,  means  ample  informa- 
tion will  be  conveyed  to  the  pharmacists  and  to  the  prospective 
students  in  pharmacy  so  that  no  hardships  will  result  by  reason 
of  insufficient  preliminary  education  on  the  part  of  those  who  wish 
to  enter  pharmacy.  With  such  ample  notice  of  intended  advances, 
the  pharmacists  should  see  that  their  assistants  have  the  preliminary 
education  required  and  that  any  deficiency  is  made  up  by  study 
before  applying  for  admission  as  a  student  in  a  pharmacy  school.

should  be  advanced  in  accordance  with  the  agreement  of  the  col- 
leges belonging  to  the  American  Conference  of  Pharmaceutical 
Faculties, 
The  following  advances  in  entrance  requirements  were  therefore 
agreed  upon : 
For  the  sessions  of  1919--20  and  1920-21,  not  less  than  two  years  of 
high  school  or  its  equivalent.
