The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy is about to erect a new laboratory,
designed to give instruction in analytical chemistry, technical
microscopy, and other branches of science, especially adapted for
students who desire to fit themselves for chemists under the Food and
Drugs Act.
The College purchased a property a number of years ago, upon which a
school-house had been erected in 1825 for the Aimwell School
Association. This historic building will be entirely demolished and a
new laboratory erected covering the whole lot, 40 x 60 feet. Plans are
being prepared and it is fully expected that it will be ready for
occupancy in the early fall. A roster is being drawn up for the courses
for the students in the Food and Drug Laboratory, which will be
available shortly.
The College has had in contemplation for a number of years a plan for
extending the instruction in this department, and the passage of the
Food and Drugs Act has caused such a demand for chemists, that immediate
steps have been taken to put the plans in execution.
