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. ----- Footnote 1: Read before the Philadelphia Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association, February 5, 1907.
