It  will  be  noted  in  the  above  table  that  the  courses  in  all  these 
schools  meet  or  exceed  the  minimal  requirements  of  the  Council  on 
Education  except  in  the  subject  of  biology,  and  in  one  school  also  in 
English.  In  school  No.  1,  which  apparently  meets  all  the  require- 
ments of  the  A.  M.  A.,  it  is  impossible  to  ascertain  from  the  cata- 
logue whether  or  not  it  meets  the  requirements  in  biology  because  no 
separation  is  made  between  the  amount  of  time  given  to  biology  and 
to  botany.  While  botany,  strictly  speaking,  is  a  branch  of  biology, 
the  Council  on  Education  draws  a  line  between  general  biology, 
botany  and  zoology ;  the  rules  state  that  the  requirements  in  biology 
may  be  "satisfied  by  a  course  of  eight  semester  hours  in  either  gen- 
eral biology  or  zoology  or  by  courses  of  four  semester  hours  each  in 
zoology  and  botany,  but  not  by  botany  alone." 
It  is  evident,  therefore,  that  however  we  may  feel  upon  the 
advisability  of  a  student  acquiring  his  pre-medical  training  in  the 
schools  of  pharmacy,  some  modification  of  these  courses  is  essential 
to  conform  with  the  legal  requirements  in  most  of  them.  It  is  prob- 
able, however,  that  these  schools  would  have  little  difficulty  in 
expanding  their  biological  courses. 
*These  subjects  not  compulsory,  but  "strongly  urged."
