r 1 r pg I gi I w r a HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE The Indianapolis College of Pharniac}- •as established in April, 1904, and on September sixth of the same year enrolled its first class, numbering- twelve studtmts. The college was established for the purpose of gi ing a thorough anrl efficient preparation to }-(iung ' men and women desiring to enter the field of Pharmacy. Sjjecial courses were also given for those who planned to do additional work in Chemistry. All of the hopes of the founders have been happily fulfilled. The college has been in continuous operation for more than twenty-four years. The en- rollment the first } ' ear was twehe students : in 1928, it is more than two hun- dred. The first graduating class numbered eleven. In 1928 there will be over fort}- graduates. This number is not as large as usual since this class is the first to complete the three-}-ear course now given at this school. The historv of the college has not been uneventful. It has Ijeen moved four times, at intervals of about five years each. The cause on three of these occasions was the necessity for seeking larger cjuarters in order to accommo- date the steadilv increasing classes, and to provide the space necessary for satisfactory work. The present home of the college leaves very little to be desired. The prop- ert}- extends one-half city l)lock on ] Iarket street and the same distance on Davidson street. It is easy of access, and only eight blocks from Monument Circle. There are numerous lecture rooms of large size, two with a capacity of more than one hundred students each. A large central amphitheatre affords an excellent opportunity for student assembly. The large laboratories for chemistr} ' , botany, bacteriology, dispensing pharmacy, scientific window dec- oration, etc., are fully equipped for their various phases of work. There is plentv of room for diversion; there are inter-class and inter- scholastic basketball games, there are dances and other social afifairs. Since its beginning, this college has had the largest enrollment, and the largest graduating classes in the state. We can be justly proud of our Alma A later. Page seven
