DEAN CHARLES W. BALLARD The Class of 40 has witnessed sweeping changes in an educa- tional system whereby the path they voluntarily chose in phar- macy training has become obliga- tory on their successors. As is the case in all transitions, complica- tions have arisen and adjustments between old and new order have been necessary. At such times there is always the tendency to magnify the virtues of the new and deprecate those of the older order. There is also the tendency to overlook the fact that what is new and novel today will inevitably give way to the old of tomorrow. ]f you are inclined to contrast your educational program with that of succeeding classes, keep in mind that your willingness to undertake the longer route to a degree in pharmacy was a contributory factor in establishing it as an obligatory procedure. The first baccalaureate degrees in pharmacy at Columbia were granted in 1924 and for several years thereafter it was the only pharmacy college in New York State maintaining a four-year program. Despite the fact that the tuition received did not cover the cost, no more than it does today. Columbia Pharmacy continued to offer a program which represented an advance in phar- maceutical education. By so doing it paved the way for the present requirement and the students who voluntarily enrolled for the baccalaureate degree have in great measure made it possible. The Class of 40 also has the distinction of graduating in a year wherein the number of graduates in New York State is the smallest in several decades. Un- doubtedly this situation will favorably affect the possibilities of placement after graduation and among these opportunities the practice of pharmacy should receive serious attention. In the past the graduate with the baccalaureate degree has all too often regarded the drug store as less advantageous than industrial employment. Perhaps the immediate prospects of the latter are more attractive, but in the long run retail pharmacy is not without compensating advantages, especially away from the crowded areas. The low output of pharmacy graduates throughout the country may very- possibly result in a change in the character of the drug store and the elimination of certain features which are not compatible with pharmacy as a profession. Finally, to the individual members of the Class of 40. I sincerely wish you satisfaction and success in your future undertakings.
