MIXING the bitter with the sweet is only a small part of the work of the druggist. After four years of mixing drugs and completing a well-rounded curriculum druggists, embryo prescriptioriists, manufacturing pharma- cists, drug inspectors, and food or drug analysts are graduated from the College of Pharmacy to minister to the world and to elevate the general standard of their profession. The College of Pharmacy of the University of Iowa is the only institution in the state holding membership in the American Association of Col- leges of Pharmacy, which includes 57 of the lead- ing colleges in America. Located in the Pharmacy-Botany building the college includes among its equipment a 1; ,()()() volume library, second to none in the United States, and a medicinal plant garden. Nearly all medicines used by university hospitals are supplied by the college and dispensed by members of the senior class. After completion of the four year course and an examination by the state board the pharmacy graduate may practice in this state. Thus, the state aims to safeguard public health by provid- ing minimum standards for practitioners. Dean Wilber J. Teeters heads a staff of four- teen professors, six associate professors, three assistant professors, and twelve associates and instructors. Dean Teeters succeeded Emil L. Mocrner. first head of the college, in 1904. There are four pharmaceutical fraternities; Phi Delta Chi and Beta Phi Sigma, professional groups for men; Kappa Ep.silon, professional group for women ; and Rho Chi, an honorary fraternity, to which fifteen per cent of the senior class is elected on the basis of scholarship.

THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE HENRY S. HOUGHTON Dean CLESSON BECKWITH EDWARD .1. MEISTEB RALPH K. EDWARDS LESTER V. KIMUEKLY MIRACLES of healing, science of love, student disciples, children ' s lives, adult happiness, a tall white tower all group- ed under the prosaic title of the College of Medi- cine. Since its establishment in 1870 the college has grown in size and quality until today it must limit enrollment in order to maintain an adequate standard of instruction. The general assembly has passed a law giving preference to Iowa resi- dents as students ; out of state students may enter only if the quota is not filled. A clinic, provided by law of general assembly, serves both children and adults, administering medical and surgical treatment to indigent pa- tients at the expense of the state. These cases furnish opportunity for student study and ob servation in every medical field. When the college opened in 1S70 classes were held on the first floor of Old South hall, which was situated in the oval between th? Liberal Arts and Physics buildings. Now it is located in the group of handsome buildings clustered around the hospital tower on the west side of the river. A medical and surgical dispensary is conducted by students under the direction of graduate di- rectors who examine, diagnose, and treat patients. More than 14,600 volumes are in its library, and more than 200 current periodicals. The medical unit of the Reserve Officers Train- ing Corps recruits and instructs medical officers for the regular army. Dean Henry Spencer Houghton, B.Ph., M.D., Ll.D., is head of the college. A personnel con- sisting of 145 physicians, surgeons, nurses, and supervisors assists the dean in maintaining the high standard of the college.

THE SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS H. FITZGERALD Director NO STUDENT can attend the University of Iowa without feeling the cultural influ- ence of the School of Pine Arts, for it is the purpose of this school, under the direction of Rufiis Fitzgerald, to integrate the fine arts with the university. All of the dramatic productions, music concerts, and art exhibits presented during the year are the results of this aim. The School of Fine Arts was established in October, 1929. It includes the departments of music, dramatic art, graphic and plastic arts. and the history of art. Each department contri- butes its share to the broadening influences of university life. The organizations connected with each depart- ment afford opportunities for discovering talent- ed students. For dramatic followers there is the university theater, in which approximately 350 students are actively engaged ; the University and Apprentice Players; and Purple Mask, an hon- orary society. The university orchestra, band, and glee clubs take part in many of the functions held on the campus, in vespers, and accompany some of the dramatic productions. Professional concerts, exhibits of painting and sculpture, high school music, dramatic and art contests are held under the auspices of one of the four departments of the School of Fine Arts. In December, 1930, the school received a gift of $100,000 from the Carnegie fund with which to build a graphic and plastic arts building. De- tailed plans are being prepared for this latest campus addition which will be located just north of Iowa Union on the east bank of the Iowa river. Its arrangement, that of an art colony, will be a unique feature. TWENTY ONE
