r f r fWJgtnra In 1914 a new charter was procured, and a strong organization was effected with Professor Ferd A. Mueller as President. This location was considered only temporary. But the European war breaking out in 1914 disturbed in- dustrial conditions. America ' s participation in 1917 further complicated matters, and it was not until 1919 that new buildings were purchased as the college home. During the occupancy of the Century Building more than two hundred students were enrolled, and more than one hundred were grad- uated. 1920-1923 In 1920 the students began work at the new location at 522 Fletcher Avenue. The property consisted of two substantial brick buildings, with about fifteen rooms available for college purposes. The classrooms and laboratories were ample for classes of the sizes which had been in attend- ance and which might be expected. But the reputation and influence of the college had been extending, and the success in the new location was instantaneous. In 1922 about one hundred freshmen students were enrolled, and because of limited capacity it was necessary to limit the freshman en- rollment of 1923 to less than sixty students; many late applicants were re- jected that year. The need for expansion was so evident and urgent that the Directors were obliged to again seek a new location. In 1924 the pro- perty of the former Indiana A ' eterinary College at East Market and David- son streets was acquired and the college effects were moved to the new home. It was a matter of deep regret that President Ferd. A. Mueller, whose death occurred ' in 1923, had not lived to see the transfer of the college to its splendid location. 1924 The present home of the college leaves very little to be desired. The property extends one-half city block on Market Street; it is easy of access, being only a short block from one of the main city car lines. The build- ings were erected for college purposes, and are chiefly of high-class brick construction. There are numerous lecture rooms of large size, three with capacity for more than one hundred students each. A large central ampi- theatre ' affords an excellent opportunity for student assembly. The large laboratories for Chemistry. Botany, Bacterio logy, Dispensing Pharmacy, etc.. are fullv equipped, and give the student ample facilities for the best of work. The library, offices, instructors ' laboratories, and stock rooms are conveniently located and add greatly to the efl ' ectiveness of the courses. The College Inn, the students ' restaurant, offers a choice variety of whole- some food at reasonable prices, prepared under proper supervision. As it is connected Avith the college buildings, it is not necessary for the students to go out of doors when the weather is inclement, if they wish to remain for afternoon work. The present enrollment is the largest in our history, and the students are generally enthusiastic in their work. Since its beginning, this college has had the largest enrollment, the most students pass the state examinations, and the largest graduating classes in the state. In the past twenty-one years, a total of over one thousand students have matriculated here. And it is safe to predict that under present favorable auspices, the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy will continue to grow and extend its field of influence and usefulness. Fourteen
