THE DUDES Nathan J. Hellerbach Sol A. Herzog Martin Levin roww = nEETiNC- 16 The Pharmacy student of today is required to take cultural courses so as to have a broader scope of general knowledge. We first experienced a samp- ling of Philosophy as taught by Mr. Richard Heff- ner. This course dealt with the basic tenets that motivated men, from Greek philosophers to the men of our time. Mr. Martin Levin ' s course in English was of utmost importance. Since man ' s education is in- variably judged by his use of language, we can now safely say that, although we may never win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature, we now write gram- atically correct English. The basic concepts of bookkeeping, accounting, and business law were instilled into us by Mr. Nathan Hellerbach. Since a pharmacist has to be a business man in order to operate a store, this course was essential in preparing us for the struggle ahead. We know that the knowledge of business law will avoid many a pitfall when we enter the business world. The only cultural course directly related to Pharmacy is Mr. Sol A. Herzog ' s course in Pharm- aceutical Jurisprudence. In order to abide by the traditions of the cultural department, the first part of the course is devoted to the principles of Ameri- can government. The second part is pure Pharma- cetical Jurisprudence per se. It was on Feb. 27, 1955 that Sol A. Herzog, lawyer and teacher, passed away. We mourn him greatly. Although the courses taught here are only in- directly related to our profession, they add con- siderably to the intellectual betterment of its mem- bers.
