ffhe SCQYICERRU 2 t Literary - THE HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE Cliejlrilzfczl From The Bulleiilfj N 1892 pharmaceutical education was started in New Jersey by a small group of men who met to consider the possibility of the formation of a College of Pharmacy. As a result of this conference, the following agree- ment was drawn up and subscribed to: We, the undersigned, do severally associate ourselves together for the pur- pose of founding and organizing in the City of Newark, in the County of Essex and in the State of New Jersey, a College of Pharmacy for the purpose of de- livering lectures and rendering scientific pharmaceutical instruction, both oral and by objective instruction, by a corps of competent and recognized instructors appointed by a Board of Electors, selected by the Trustees of said College, and also for the purpose of granting diplomas to graduates of said college, based upon a successful examination. We further agree to make and abide by laws and by-laws to be enacted. Signed-August Drescher, P. E. I-Iommell, John Eckert, Henry Ost, Os- wald H. Roth, Jacob G. Keller, Frank B. Meeker, Eugene Tiesler, Emil Reichle, Charles Wfuensch. Dated Newark, N. J., August 29, 1892. In the fall of this year f1892j instruction was started for four students who had applied for admission. Classes were held at 22 Clinton Street. The faculty consisted of Mr. August Drescher as Professor of Chemistry and Di- rector of the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Laboratoriesg Dr. Philemon E. Hom- mell as Professor of Botany and Materia Medica, and Joseph F. Sommerhoff as Professor of Pharmacy. Professor Sommerhoff soon resigned from his position and at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on October 31, 1892, Mr. Fred L. Harding was appointed to the chair. In August, 1893, Mr. Williana O. Kuebler was elected to membership and proceeded to put the college on a sound business and educational basis. Mr. Kuebler was soon elected President of the College and has served in that capa- city to the time of his death in 1928. It is primarily to his ability as an or- ganizer and an executive that rhe success of the institution is due. On May 8, 1894, the Legislature of the State of New Jersey approved an act entitled: An Act to Incorporate Colleges of Pharmacyf, This act made possible the incorporation of the New Jersey College of Pharmacy, and on August 17, 1894, a certificate of incorporation was filed in the Essex County Clerk's Office. The corporation consisted of twelve trustees and has, from its inception, been a non-profit sharing organization. It was granted the usual I Page 1201

fthe Scarlet Rag -XX Neutrals Although Fraternal Life is looked upon by many as the keynote of College Life one-half of the student body of any institution is essentially what is known as Neutral. Perhaps the best delinition of this body has been expressed as fol- lows: Never Entirely United To Really Assert Latent Strength To those who have not been privileged to join any of the fraternal organi- zations of our college, we merely express our appreciation for their coopera- tion in making relationships between the societies and the student body har- monious. A great deal of the success of fraternal life depends upon the atti- tude of the Neutrals toward the individual organizations. The fraternities of the college extend their thanks to the Neutrals for their fraternal cooperation. fPage 1191

A116 Scarlet R515 2 powers of such corporations and empowered to adopt rules and regulations for the government of a college of pharmacy and to grant the degrees of Graduate in Pharmacyi' and t'Master of Pharmacyf, The object of its incorporation is stated as follows: The sole and exclusive object of the said incorporation is for the purpose of cultivating, improving and disseminating a knowledge of pharmacy, its collateral branches of science and the best mode of preparing medicines and their compounds, and of giving instruction in the same by public lectures. The work was continued at 22 Clinton Street until 1899, when an enroll- ment of twenty-three students made it imperative that larger quarters be ob- tained. The college was then moved to 224 Market Street, where, as a result of increased laboratory space and equipment, a greatly improved quality of in- struction followed. In 1908, with an entering class of seventy students, it was again found necessary to seek larger quarters. In the fall of that year, the college moved into a splendid new building, erected by the Board of Trustees at S09 High Street. The College, with its modern laboratories, thoroughly equipped, had, for the first time, ample room to expand. The capacity for stu- dents in this building was soon reached, and in 1925, with a student body of two hundred and Hfty, the college was moved to its beautiful new home at Lincoln, Broadway and Arlington Avenues. The consistent growth of the col- lege in the past makes the question of further expansion a problem for the fu- ture, and by way of meeting its future needs, the Board of Trustees has made provision in the building plans whereby the present building can be adequately increased in size without disrupting the regular college sessions. Acquisifion by Rutgers Uvziversiiy The trustees of the college have for some time recognized the necessity of insuring the permanency of this splendid institution, which has been slowly built up and perfected over such a long period of time. It was with this idea in mind that Rutgers University was recently requested to incorporate the col- lege into its organization as one of the colleges of the State University. The favorable decision of the Rutgers Trustees, agreed upon at their meeting on January 14, 1927, has met with the approval of every pharmacist and educator in the state. This means that pharmaceutical education in New Jersey will continue to improve and will be wisely and efhciently administered in years to come. The future of pharmacy in this State is today most promising. fPage1211
