...organic chemistry, and nine in physiological chemistry. The students comprise many who teach school, or are students in this or other colleges. This summer the same course will be presented with the exception of that in physiological chemistry. The course in botany at the Botanic Garden was attended by seventeen last year, and is to be repeated this year. The courses in geology were three, and were first, the work that corresponds to N.
