(2) The translation of easy Latin prose and the elements of Latin grammar.

(3) The elements of algebra. (4) The elements of physics.

EXAMINATIONS.

Examinations are held the last two weeks of the regular session. They are supplementary to the recitation exercises of the entire session, and with them form the basis of final determination of fitness for promotion or graduation. An examination is held the first week of the session for conditioned students.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

Regular attendance at lectures, quizzes and laboratory exercises. Students will not be permitted to present themselves for final examination unless they have been in attendance upon at least three-fourths of the required number of exercises.

Before presenting himself for graduation a student must have attended two full lecture and laboratory courses, the last at this college; he must have passed a successful examination; he must furnish satisfactory evidence of his having served at least four years in a dispensing pharmacy. Students who have not had four year's practical experience in a dispensing pharmacy at the time they wish to present themselves for graduation, may pass the final examination, but their diploma will be withheld until they shall have served four years. Those who fail to appear for examination, after having paid their examination fee, or those who do not pass satisfactorily, will be permitted to present themselves at any subsequent examination, upon paying an additional fee of five dollars and complying with all other requirements.

GRADUATION.

Every person upon whom the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy is conferred must be of good moral character and must have complied with all the above requirements.

The diploma will not be conferred upon any one who has not attained to age of twenty-one years, and who has not had fully four years' practical experience with a person qualified to conduct the business of a dispensing pharmacy. The four years may include the time spent in college; but attendance in the laboratories will not be accepted in place of actual experience in a dispensing pharmacy. If a student has not had the requisite amount of experience, or has not attained the age of twenty-one years, a certificate of examination will be issued to him, if he passes all examinations satisfactorily, this certificate may subsequently be exchanged for a diploma when all necessary conditions shall have been fulfilled.

GENERAL REMARKS.

A deposit of ten dollars with the Registrar of the college will be required to cover all breakage, damage or waste in the chemical or pharmaceutical laboratories. No places will be assigned to students who fail to comply with this rule. The deposit will be returned at the the end of the term minus the cost of any breakage, waste or damage. If at any time the breakage, etc., exceeds the specified amount a new deposit will be required.

The junior examinations cover all branches taught in the junior year. Those students who fail to pass the examinations will be allowed to undergo a supplementary examination the following fall. If they pass satisfactorily then, they will be promoted to the senior class, if not, they will be obliged to attend a full junior course. Seniors who have complied with all necessary requirements, but fail in one or two studies, will be required to pass in those only, at the next examination, when they will be entitled to their diplomas. Seniors are also privileged to defer their examination in pharmacy until the third year.

Students will be permitted to bring crude drugs, from store where they are employed, for the making of preparations, provided such material is approved by the director of the parmaceutical laboratory, as suitable to demonstrate the lessons in hand. Finished products from such material, if of satisfactory quality, are at the disposal of the student, except such as have been prepared with tax-free alcohol belonging to the college.

Students who have attended two full courses, but have not graduated, will be entitled to attend, without further charge, the lectures of subsequent courses, but not the laboratory work and quizzes, unless they pay the requisite fees therefor.

STUDENTS' SOCIETIES.

RELIGIOUS.

The STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION was organized by the students and faculty of the University in 1869; its object being, as stated in the constitution, to promote growth in christian character, and to engage in such religious work as may be deemed expedient and necessary.

The association owns a commodious building, which is used for various purposes; it provides a course of lectures and holds a prayer meeting once a week. The association has a committee to help students to find comfortable rooms and boarding places. Students will be more apt to secure rooms as they desire them if they send word to the committee before coming to the University telling them of the price they wish to pay. The association is meant to be the rallying point of all christians in college. All persons in sympathy with the object of the association are eligible to membership. Address inquiries in regard to boarding places to Mr. C. B. Miller, chairman of the S. C. A. boarding committee, care of the University.

The YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION has as its object the promotion of "growth in grace and christian fellowship among its members, and aggressive christian work, by and for students." The active membership is composed of members of good standing in evangelical churches; and any young man of good moral character may become an associate member.

On the first Saturday evening of the college year, the association, in union with the Young Women's Christian Association, holds a general reception for all students; on Washington's
