istorieal Sketch of the College S THE result of a meeting held on February 23, 1821, in the historic Carpenters' Hall, within whose walls assembled the first Conti- nental Congress, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy was organized and received its charter from the State of Pennsylvania in 1822. After occupying buildings on Seventh Street and Filbert Street, respec- tively, in 1868 a building on part of the present site, 145 North Tenth Street, was completed, and the insti- tution moved thereto. Here commodious laboratories were iitted up for practical instruction i11 analytical chemistry and in pharmacy. A large six-story building was erected during 1892, and at the same time the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Laboratories were increased in size by over one-half. In 1894 the Microscopical Laboratory was greatly enlarged, and furnished with a new outfit of microscopes. The ground floor of this new building contains the entrance to the lecture-rooms and laboratories, the Registrar's oliice, students' reading-room and the commodious library. The second and third stories form a large hall, with galleries, for the accommoda- tion of the College Museum, including the extensive collections in materia medica, botany, pharmaceutical and chemical apparatus and products, and the valua- ble Zllarliudafe fh'rba1'z'1m1. The fourth story contains the publication ofiice of the Amcriawz journal of Phar- magf, the private ofiice of the editor, and a large hall for the Alumni Association. The fifth floor is one large examination-room, and the sixth story is used for storage. Connected with this new building, and immediately back of it, is the tier of three lecture- rooms, each with the private room of the professor adjoining. Each of these lecture-halls will seat nearly 4oo students, is equipped with chairs of the most ap- proved pattern, and is provided with electric lights and a thorough system of heating and ventilation. Adjoining the lecture-rooms on the east are the three laboratories and a quiz-room. Under these are the boilers, engines and dynamos which supply heat, light and ventilation to the whole building. With this magnificent equipment it can be fairly claimed that the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy possesses the largest building in the world devoted solely to teaching pharmacy and its allied branches. The scientific literature which has emanated from the College has been abundant and authoritative. The Afzzfrffaiz journal M 1Jhtl7'7INlL:j', established in 1825, is the oldest periodical devoted to pl1a1'maceuti- cal science in the English language. It has always maintained a high scientific character, and is a recog- nized authority in Europe, as well as in our own country. ,
