College of Pharmacy The College of Pharmacy forms a small, compact unit within the total array of Michigan. Within this unit the stu- dent lives and learns and grasps the basic concepts of his profession. He is a part of a closely knit group of students and yet is able to enjoy all the advantages offered by a large university. Within the school itself, several separate spheres can be found. For out of the whole, the student can isolate any- one of a number of curricula for his particular field of con- centration. He may specialize in retail pharmacy or hospital pharmacy; he may enter the business world and work as a manufacturing pharmacist; his interests may lead him to any one of a number of related fields. While the pharmacy student often elects classes in other departments, his studies center in the Chemistry and Phar- macy Building. He works with tiny bottles and test tubes filled with powdery chemicals or liquids of clear, solid colors. The intricacies of large, grey masses of equipment are re- vealed to him. He spends long, tedious hours pouring over complicated formulas. His hope is that man may someday conquer disease. Tom D. Rowe, MS, PhD; Professor of Phar- macy and Dean of the College of Pharmacy.

Are communicable diseases transmitted by our public washing machines? This piece of cloth will answer the question. School of Public Health Three integral themes create the tapestry of the School of Public Health. These are the administrative, technical, and research work. Today, these areas combine their efforts to work on major health problems, in which the majority of public health students specialize. Specifically, they combat heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and mental health problems. No matter which of the three phases the public health worker enters, there is one general design that represents liK i-ndeavor. Its pattern depicts his purpose to prevent ill- ness through organi ed community action. With his major function foremost in mind, the public lic.ilili student continually fills in the educational gaps with supplementary study in related fields. To set off the completed design, the public health student uses vivid color. Dramatic experiences he anticipates are projected to the viewer. The student knows that he is enter- ing a profession which faces a constant challenge to control and prevent the ravages of disease: this vital element makes human drama eminent. Henry F. Vaughan, MSE, DrPH: Professor of Public Health, Dean of the School of Public Health, and Chairman of the Department of Public Health Practice.
