The name was changed to Detroit Technical Institute on May 1, 1908, and was incorporated as such November 10, 1909, with power to confer degrees upon graduates of its professional schools. On May 9, 1918, in order to define the broadening activities more clearly the name was changed to Detroit Institute of Technology. Parke Davis in the summer of 1890 spoke for the Pharmacy school believing that such a school would be successful in Detroit and proposed to erect it near their plant. This motion however was overruled by the board of Trustees, who stated that for the convenience of the students it should be more centralized. The Board also stated that it should not be connected with Parke Davis En? Co.'s laboratory. It was 'first named the Department of Pharamacy of the Detroit College of Medicine and the school was started the evening of january 5, 1891, at the corners of St. Antoine and Mullet Streets. Dr. Theo A. McGraw was the first Dean but he resigned in 1891 and Dr. Clark was chosen in his place. Mr. W. H. Allen was given a degree of the department in April, 1895, as a reward for his valuable and eihcient services rendered as an instructor. In December, 1896, the College was burned and was temporarily discontinued. It was reopened however in january 1897. In March 1900 the laboratories were closed by the health oiiicer on account of quarantine, but the classes were conducted as usual on another floor. ' In June, 1902, Mr. W. H. Allen was elected Secretary. In February, 1903, it was decided that the school would conduct day classes, starting the next term. The session of 1904 was the last that we have any record of. In 1905 the Department of Pharmacy severed relations with Detroit College of Medicine and for two years was conducted by its former Dean. During this time the school was a private institution and had no power to confer degrees. In 1907 it became the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the Detroit Institute of Technology. In 1908 Mr. Allen became Dean and remained the head of the Pharmacy school until 1915, when Mr. Jones became Dean. He remained dean until 1920 when Mr. Stout took charge. During the late years many improvements have been made such as enlarging the laboratories and more stockfroom equipment. First Annual School Outing On Friday, November 6th, 1925, the Detroit College of Pharmacy held its first annual school outing on the athletic Held at Belle Isle, followed by a banquet and entertainment in the evening at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. The student body assembled in the morning at the College Building with about twentyffive of their own automobiles, all decorated with the school colors fpurple and whitej and with various appropriate Pharmaceutical Phrases. Also through the very kind courtesy of Mr. Knight of the Detroit Creamery, their prize sixfhorse team and wagon was sent to lead our procession. At about eleven o'clock in the morning, the parade started off from the College Building, with the sixfhorse team and wagon carrying our Pharmacy Orchestra in the lead. With two motorcycle policemen, clearing traiiic in front of the procession, we proceeded down Elizabeth to Brush Street, thence to jefferson and east to Belle Isle. mms 1i1:111::: 1 1 1 111:41 1-11 1 101 1 up 11111 1 qnmzms an-uqnfuqn Nine Q I Q47 . -N Q O u ., U ll i l L2 l! n if ll I 3 ll ll ll C ll u I l !

I The noise made by the students with the various whistles and horns, and the ! ! line of uniformly decorated cars, whcih moved slowly along the Avenue attracted I i considerable attention. i The most attractive scene of the parade was an old Ford, carrying about twelve Freshmen, all dressed uniformly in their ur le and reen ca s. The san various P P s P Y g i . songs accompanied by our School Orchestras music. The Freshmen's car had a large i poster in front, telling who they were Frosh. ' i Passing by Frederick Stearns Ee? Company on jefferson Avenue, the student body i gave three big cheers for Stearns. i ' After we arrived at the Island, the fellows partook of refreshments at the Island C lunchroom, which consisted of hot dogs and the like, fperhaps this accounted for some i of the athlete's incapacity later in the football gamej. The football game started in - 1 the muddy athletic field, with Professor Spokes as the man at the whistle. i The battle was bitterly and bloodily fought. But the Seniors-Oh, how sad to A relate, went down to hard defeat. The score was 22f0. 3 E After the game, a football kicking contest for distance was held. ! The three prize winners were: g First prize-Mr. Marvin Witt ............, ......... S 5,00 Gold Piece l Second prize-Mr. Chas. Aumack ....... .............. S 1,00 Silver Piece i Third prize-Mr. John Guarnieri .................... 7 .........,. English Penny : i The prizes were offered by Professor Allen, formerly Dean of the College of ' - Pharmacy. W During the game, representatives of the press and the Detroit News Pictorial, 2 were on hand to photograph the proceedings. They also took pictures of a snake dance, during which time, traffic was temporarily halted on the Belle Isle Driveway. - ! Then after a slight adjournment for rest and refreshments, we repaire dto a choice ! spot on a canal, over which the greatest event of the day took place-The Tug of War. Q The rope was kindly-furnished us by the White Star Line. The spot on the canal, where the Tug of War took place, was about four feet deep. The most exciting part of the War was when the rope broke, thus giving several of the Seniors a dutcking. I The Freshmen, not noticing the occurrence, thought that they had already won the i War. The rope was repaired and with revenge in their muscles, the Seniors pulled : the Freshies across the ditch and those who did not stick with their Freshmen mates, - were given a bath in spite of their wishes. Among the many spectators at the War, was a special delegation of girls from ! Northern High School. Q The fellows then went home, cleaned up and at about seven o'clock P. M. asf l sembled again at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, where the Banquet was held. Mr. i McCoy and Mr. Mellen were in charge of the Banquet. i Our slick Orchestra in Tuxedos were the irst ones to entertain the student body. i They furnished ideal music for the occasion. This was followed by interesting C speeches on various subjects. Among the speakers were Professor Stout, Dean of College of Pharmacy, Mr. Knight of the Detroit Creamery, Mr. Hickey, Director of H i Education of D. I. T.g Mr. McNight, Mr. Mellen, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Starr. i Mr. Maxman, Mr. Yarrows and Mr. Grigsby entertained the crowd with various 2 songs. A The classes this year can compliment themselves on having started a school tradif ' 5 tion which, we hope, will be followed in the future. - r Y' dl 1 ALDQYQ fo. :75,CJg,,l..,..u-.-..-. ... .- ..,. .. - ... - ,...,... - - ,-. ...,.-.... ..- ,..,...,-..... ... ........
