Born on the South Side of Pittsburg, Dr. Claus always liked the medical sciences. En- tering the University of Pittsburg Pharmacy School he earned a Ph.D. in 1929, after which he took post-graduate work toward a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy, After this he earned his Master of Science Degree. Continuing his graduate studies while serv- ing as an instructor in pharmacognosy, he earned the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 1940. Being established as a pharmacognosist with a superb background brought him two im- portant challenges from Illinois. The most important of these introduced Dr. Claus to a new field, for he served as Botanist for the Allergy Unit of the College of Medicine at the University of Illinois. This duty with the allergy unit was to develop into a major en- deavor, for today Dr. Claus is the only non- physician to be accepted into the Pittsburg Allergy Society and the Pennsylvania Allergy Association.

Pharmacy Within a decade of the establishment of Ferris Institute in 1884 demands for training in Pharmacy began to materialize, and in 1893 the first students enrolled to prepare for the Michigan Board of Pharmacy examina- tion to qualify for registration. Since that time there has been a gradual development into the full four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy. It is the aim and purpose of the Pharmacy Division to qualify its students for their re- sponsibility in matters of public health and to impress upon them the duty they have in rendering professional and civic services to their community. Particularly does the divi- sion strive to give its students such education in Pharmacy and allied sciences as will en- able them to meet the present and future de- mands of their profession in an able manner.
