aration for the examination for candidate in pharmacy begins on November 1, every second year, and includes instruction in the following listed subjects: 1. Chemistry: General, inorganic, organic, and pharmaceutical. 2. Pharmacognosy. 3. Botany. 4. Pharmacy. 5. Physics. 6. Bacteriology and technique of sterilization, and in other subjects connected with pharmacy which the Ministry of Education may prescribe. The examination is offered regularly during SeptemberOctober every second year on the completion of the 2-year course. For those who desire a reexamination or who were not able to take the regular examination an extraordinaer Eksamen (extraordinary examination) is offered 6 months later. Part of the examination consists of Kursusarbejder or practical work performed during a regular course. For such practical work the student receives one mark in each of the courses named below. The marks are included in the final evaluation in the examination either as subject marks in subjects in which no further examination is offered or as part of the final mark in examination subjects. (a) Chemical preparation. (b) Practical botany: Morphological-anatomical study of plants. (c) Qualitative inorganic chemical analysis. (d) Quantitative inorganic chemical analysis. (e) Organic chemical analysis. (f) Chemical pharmaceutical study including exercises in technical pharmacy. (g) Practical pharmacognosy. (h) Practical physics including a written proposition on subjects from the practical exercises and on subjects considered in connection therewith. In addition to the practical work in these courses the examination for candidates in pharmacy consists of 2 written, 5 practical, and 7 oral Eksamenspröver (examination tests). The written tests include two 2-hour propositions in chemistry or 1 in chemistry and 1 in pharmacy. The propositions are the same for all students participating in the examination and are to be answered without the use of aids. The practical tests include: (a) A qualitative inorganic chemical analysis. (c) An organic chemical analysis. (d) A chemical pharmaceutical investigation of one or more substances. Each test is to be completed within 12 hours, 2 of which may be used for the preparation of a written report explaining the procedure and the results attained. (e) A 4-hour test in practical pharmacognosy consisting of a mocroscopic analysis and the preparation of a written report of the findings. The report is to be accompanied by the microscopic preparations on which it is based. The oral tests are public and include 2 tests in chemistry and 1 in each of pharmacognosy, botany, pharmacy, physics, and bacteriology with the technique of sterilization. The designations of the marks used in grading fall into an hierarchical arrangement in which Eksamenskarakter (examination mark) represents the mark given for a subject in an oral, written, or practical test; Fagkarakter (subject mark) consisting of the average of its Eksamenskarakterer, the final mark for a subject; and the Hovedkarakter which is the average of the Fagkarakterer, the final mark for the examination. Below are listed the examination marks with the numerical value of the subject marks enclosed in parentheses: 6... (8) 5%-- (7%) (very good plus) _____ 5%-- (7%) (very good)---. 5___ (7) (very good minus). 42% (61%) (good plus)- 4% (5%) 4.- (5) 3% (3%) 3%-- (2%) 3...

To pass the examination the final mark must be at 6% to 72. 5 to 6%. One who has passed the examination for candidate in pharmacy, who is at least 21 and not over 55 years of age, who is a citizen of Denmark, and of good character may become an Apoteker (druggist) provided he is not a practicing physician, dentist, or veterinarian. One connected with a concern producing medical goods is barred also from practicing as a druggist unless special dispensation has been received from the Ministry of the Interior. DET KONGELIGE AKADEMI FOR DE SKÖNNE KUNSTER (THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS) The history of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts at Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, may be traced to a petition presented to King Frederik IV in 1701, for protection of eine regulierte societet (a regulated society). In 1754 the academy was organized with a preparatory department of two classes and in 1814 it received its present name. A special school connected with the academy was established for women in 1888, with separate instructors. In 1908, the academy was opened to women. According to royal regulations the academy shall work for the promotion of art in Denmark partly as an institution of higher training in art and partly as Statens Raadgiver i kunstneriske Spörgsmaal (the adviser of the National Government on questions of art). The academy is under the supervision of the Ministry of Education and under the immediate direction of a director, an administrator, and the Akademieraad (academy council). The latter is composed of 18 members including professors of the academy and a number of artists elected from among the members of the academy. Instruction at the academy is offered in two departmentsthe lower department or Normalskolen (normal school), and den Höjere Skole (the higher school or upper department). The normal school includes: Malerskolen (school of painting). Billedhuggerskolen (school of sculpture). The academic year consists of two semesters: The first from October 1 to December 22; the second from January 7 to April 30, for the schools of painting and sculpture, and to May 31 for the school of architecture. The latter requires also a summer course in survey of architecture and in surveying and leveling. Malerskolen (school of painting).—Before an applicant for admission to the school of painting is admitted he must present (a) Copies of shaded drawings with a statement from the instructor (c) A certificate of having completed geometry, projection drawing, The first 2 years of training include studies in light and shade; model studies in drawing, painting, sketching, and drawing from memory; composition work; perspective; ornamental art; anatomical drawing; and history of art and style. The training of years 3 and 4 includes drawing and painting from models and classical art, and composition work based mainly on historical, Biblical, and classical motifs; the required minor subjects, chemistry of color and technique of material, and history of art, including a survey of the history of architecture; and the optional minor subjects, graphic art, anatomy of animals, the art of weaving, and history of culture including mythology. Promotion from class 2 to class 3 is dependent on having the work completed during the last year approved by a special committee; on having passed an examination in anatomical drawing part I; and on having completed the assigned work in perspective drawing, and history of art and style. An Afgangsbevis (leaving certificate) from the school of painting is granted after the work completed during year 4 has been approved by a special committee; and after the presentation of certificates of having passed the examination in anatomical drawing part II, and of having completed the course in history of art and in the elementary technique of materials. Billedhuggerskolen (school of sculpture).-An applicant for admission to the school of sculpture must present samples of work produced in class with a statement from the instructor that they represent the pupil's own work; samples of independent work; and a certificate of academic qualification similar to that required for admission to the school of painting. The instruction of years 1 and 2 includes: 1. Modeling from a model and classic sculpture. 3. Drawing from a model. 4. Drawing of portraits. 5. Anatomical drawing part I. 6. Perspective. 7. Instruction in the history of art and style. The instruction of years 3 and 4 includes: 1. Modeling from a model and classic sculpture. 4. Drawing of plants and animals. 5. Anatomical drawing part II. 6. History of art. 7. Study of materials. The requirements for promotion from class 2 to 3 and for a leaving certificate from the school of sculpture are the same as those for the school of painting except that no certificate is required of having completed the course in elementary technique. Bygningsskolen (school of architecture).-Admission to the school of architecture is dependent on one of the following listed requirements: 1. To have passed the Studentereksamen in mathematics-science with a mark of at least "good" in mathematics and in physics, or to have passed the Adgangseksamen (admission examination) to the Polytechnical Institute. To be admitted it is necessary also to present 6 projection drawings; 6 freehand drawings in block, and a contour drawing of a vase. The drawings should be 50 by 65 centimeters. 2. Admission may be granted to an applicant who has not passed one of the examinations mentioned above, but who has passed examinations at the academy in mathematics, chemistry, and physics. The requirements as to drawings are the same as for no. 1. |
