Dean C. E. Mollett SCHOOL OF PHARMACY This year the School of Pharmacy completes its twenty-sixth year of service. Founded in Bozeman in l907, with an enrollment of nine students, it was transferred in 1913 to the State University at Mis- soula. C. E. Mollett, now dean of the department, was the first instructor. The Bachelor of Science degree given originally required only a two-year course, but during the last year a minimum four-year basis has been established. In June, 1932, the University of Montana gave its first Master of Science degree in Pharmacy, and plans to continue the award. The government has now recognized Pharmacy in hygenic health service and the Veterans' bureau on the same basis as medicine, dentistry and other professions. All members of the Pharmacy club, composed of students in the department, automatically become members of the State Pharmaceutical association. Kappa Psi, national honorary fraternity for men, and Kappa Epsilon, women's national honorary, both have chapters on this campus. About three hundred alumni of this department are practicing pharmacy at the present time, and over fifty graduates and former students own their own stores. Several are in government service and some are representatives of large pharmaceutical manufac- turing houses. The school is a member of the American Associa- tion of Colleges of Pharmacy. The three members of the faculty have practiced retail pharmacy and are registered, licensed pharmacists. T271
