title: Early pharmacy education at the University of Illinois.
abstract: "The study of chemistry is the most important as it is the most difficult of all the collateral branches of a pharmaceutist's education; the one that gives him the most power when applied in his professional pursuits, and the most reputation among the scientific. Chemistry is indeed the groundwork of every important process, and none can expect to excel who do not make it their study. The student of chemistry should, as early as practicable, get a mental outline grasp (if we may so speak) of the leading principles of the science".
