PHARMACY Dean Leuallen Professor Brown Pharmacy is the art and science of the Apothecary. In addition to learning the fundamentals of Pharmacy from our professors and various texts, personality in teaching has revealed itself to us as a factor of primary importance. We now fully realize that we could not have learned as well from books and study alone, because our instruction has not been limited to lectures and routine academic work; it has been extended to include astute guidance at times when we were at the cross- roads and had to make decisions which were too momentous to chance a mistake; solace when the pace got a little too rugged and we began to become discouraged; parience and tolerance at times when our requests for explanations of things interesting to us but irrelevant to the academic work, became persistant and probably annoying. We do not believe it possible for any one mortal to teach all these virtues but we do think that such an achievement has been accomplished by the faculty members of the Pharmacy Department. The molding of the Class of ' 53 into able, conscientious and ethical Pharmacists was fundamentally no defferent from the molding of the thousands who previously passed through these halls. Chairman of the Department is Dean E. Emerson Leuallen. With his full schedule and limited time, Dean Leuallen found time to lecture on the Pharmacy of Organic Medicinal Substances. His dissertations will always remind us, in the future, of those wonderful hours devoted to the systematic study of the pharmacy, chemistry, and to a certain extent, the pharmacology of organic pharmaceutical and medicinal substances, both official and non-official. His lectures seemed to remind us of our visit to the Indianapolis Speedway. During the year, many imporrant conferences found him out of town between and during lectures. (Thus, Dean Leuallen became known as The Guest Lecturer or The Flying Deacon . ) Our formal education in Pharmacy began with the course in Phar- maceutical Technology and Calculations. The difficult task of acquaint- ing us with the fundamental principles and processes Pharmacy and the study of the calculations employed in the prescription department fell upon the shoulders of Mr. Martin Katz. Mr. Katz was a quiet and un- assuming individual who worked hard and diligently ro make a lasting impression upon us. His sharp and quick wit will always remain as his trademark. After the completion of the Sophomore yeare, we began the study of Dispensing Pharmacy, the extemporaneous compounding and dis- pensing of actual doctors ' prescriptions under the guilding eye of The Whip , otherwise known as Prof. J. L. Kanig. Memories of the dispensing lab will always remain vivid in our minds. It is easy to recall the first day; we were present outside of 10 Professor Chavkin
