This is a three-page printed pamphlet.

The second page of the printed pamphlet continues from the first page. It is dated 'October 3, 1918' and signed 'Committee on Education and Special Training, By R. C. Maclaurin, Educational Director, Collegiate Section.' In the body of the text, a schedule of required courses for premedical students is prescribed, which includes both science and military instruction. On the third and back page of the printed pamphlet, there is no text.
