Pharmacy School.
Professor Hodder spent the greater portion of his vacation at home. He has been engaged in the revision of his text book on State and Municipal Government.
During the summer Prof. Sayre visited a number of college and university schools of Pharmacy in the east. These were visited on his way to Montreal, Canada, where was held the annual meeting of the American Pharmaceutical association. Prof. Sayre says that the schools connected with universities are doing unquestionably better and more thorough work in chemistry, materia medica and the applied sciences than the colleges situated in the large cities. At the meeting of the pharmacists Prof. Sayre read a paper on Taraxcin. This is the bitter principle of dandelion root. The professor has made this common weed of the field his especial study during the past three or four years. Out of this study have developed some facts not heretofore known to plant chemists.

The school this year will undoubtedly have a large attendance. At least half a dozen students were on the ground a week in advance of the opening of the University.
