DEAN’S MESSAGE Graduates of 1958, may I give you my sincere wishes for a happy and satisfying life in your chosen career. Such a life is not to be measured in the terms of a commonly accepted financial standard but rather by your accomplishments in serv- ing those who place their confidence in you. Most of you will begin a career which must of necessity be a fusion of the professional and the commercial. Professional service in many rural areas would be denied completely unless it received a subsidy from other sources. This is also true in many urban districts because of the uncontrolled competition offered by non- pharmacists who have invaded what we consider our special field. In most cases this invasion has the sanction of legality although there are notable exceptions, but the disturbing factor of the absence of any semblance of professional ethics is a serious problem we have to face. There are those who would advise you to meet this problem by compromising the ethical standards you have accepted as graduates of a College of Pharmacy and prospective licensees by the government of your state. Your license to practice is issued on the basis that you propose to work for the benefit of the citizens of your State and not for the benefit of any individual, group, or corporate enterprise. If you meet today's challenges with professional dignity, I am sure you will be surprised at the public and private support you will receive. The public is ready and willing to separate the real pharmacy from the synthetic. The cleavage between the two is constantly growing. For a happier life in Pharmacy I have three suggestions (I) do not waste your efforts in low grade commercial enterprises (2) provide the inspiration for greater scientific and less economic activity by your professional organizations and (3) keep your own Lamp of Learning burning brightly. 8

FRANCIS J. O'BRIEN, Ph.C., Ph.G., A.B.. M.A., Ph.D., D.Sc. Dean and Professor of Pharmacy Albany College of Pharmacy is indeed fortunate to have as its Dean and leader, Dr. Francis J. O'Brien. A holder of many degrees from various sources, our Dr. O'Brien is an active leader and staunch sup- porter of all projects to pro- mote Pharmacy and keep it on its high plane on both local and national levels. Dean O'Brien has been a guiding force to each of us during our four years here at A.C.P. Professor Denegar earned his B.S. here at A.C.P., and then went to New York State Teach- ers College for his M.S. Prof. Denegar has been our professor in Dispensing Pharmacy during our Junior year, taking over for the Dean during his infre- quent absences in our Senior year. We shall always remem- ber Prof. Denegar compiling attendance statistics to deter- mine the leaders of our classes. H. RUSSELL DENEGAR, B.S., M.S. Assistant to the Dean, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY ALBERT M. WHITE, B.S., M.S. Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Professor White, a native of Connecticut, earned his B.S. at the University of Connecticut, and then became the first graduate student to receive the M.S. in Pharmacy at U. Conn. Prof. White has filled us with two outstanding memories. First his knowledge of Pharmacy Calculations and Manufactur- ing Pharmacy, but perhaps most memorable of all, his winning basketball teams dur- ing each of his six years at A.C.P., including his fabulous 13 and I season this year. BURDETTE G. DEWELL, Ph.C., A.B., M.A. Associate Professor of Pharmacy Professor Dewell, from the standpoint of service, has the most active years here at A.C.P. Except for a short leave, Professor Dewell has been with us since 1924. Prof. Dewell received his Ph.C. here at A.C.P., then his A.B. and M.A. at New York State Teach- ers College. Prof. Dewell is one of the most informed gentlemen as his scope of Knowledge goes well beyond Pharmacy to include Chemistry, Physics and Sociology. Our thanks for his wisdom and guidance. RINALDO V. DE NUZZO, B.S., M.S. Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Professor DeNuzzo is a native son of A.C.P. as he received his B.S. here just six years ago. During the succeeding years he attended New York State Teachers College for his M.S., and is now working on his Ph.D. at Columbia University. Truly a well informed Professor, we have had many discussions on pertinent Pharmacy prob- lems as well as the stock market. Our thanks to Prof. DeNuzzo for his excellent work with our A.Ph.A. chapter.
