ORGANTZATION AND CHARTER. I At a gen-eral meeting of the Apothecaries. and Druggists of Philadelphia held in Carpenter's Hall on February 23, 1821, it was proposed that the whole profes- sion should form themselves into a society, 'The Philadelphia College of Apothe- caries ,for the two-fold purpose of providing a system of instruction in phar- macy and subjecting themselves to regulations in their business. This action was taken in response to a proposition made on the part ofthe University of Pennsylvania, instigated by the representations of one or more of the medical professors of that school, to grant the degree of 'Master in Pharmacy tosuch persons as were recommended as qualifiedto conduct the business of Pharmacy, and had complied with certain requisitions on the ground that it was liable to serious objections and inadequate to the attainment of the objects which it had in view, namely the correction of abuses in the Drug and Apothecary business. The proposition was adopted and a committee appo-inted to draft a plan of organ- ization, ofhcers were elected March 27, 1821. On April 22, 1822, the name was changed to- the Philadelphia,College of Pharmacy, and a committee appointed to procure a charter for the same 5 the charter was approved April 3o, 1822. A revised charter was approved September 2, 1878, the only changes made authoriz- ing the granting of suitable degrees to graduates and providing for some changes in the election of its governing body, the Board of Trustees. 1 A code of ethics was adopted March 31, 1848, which all applicants for mem- bership in the College had to endorse. ' A A LOCATION. . Authority was given july 23, 1821, to rent rooms for lecture purposes in the German Hall, situated on the west of Seventh Street, south of Market Street. In December, 1831, a lot and building was purchased o-n Zane Cnow Filbertj Street between Seventh and Eighth Streets, and in 1833 a suitable building was erected upon this site. The growth of the college demanding increased facilities, the lots in the rear of 139, I4I and 143 and the house No. 145 N. Tenth Street were purchased in january, 1868, and a building erected thereon in time for the session of 1868-69. In ,187o a one-story annex was built and used for laboratory purposes. The properties 139, 141 and 143 N. Tenth Street were purchased in,1874 and in 188o four properties situated on Elwyn Street, in the 'rear of the college were purchased. Q . The four-story rear building was erected in 1881, giving ample accommoda- tions for chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories, an additional lecture room, and on the top floor rooms for the Alumni Association and for the College Review quizzes.

institution that cannot fail to interest the intelligent pharmaceutical student. This is the Philadelphia Commercial Museums. In this are gathered the raw mate- rials, including drugs, dye-stuffs, fibres, woods, etc., from all parts of the World, together with the most important groups of manufactured articles from the same. These exhibits, which have been gathered by exchange, gift and purchase from all quarters of the globe since 1893, now constitute by far the most comprehensive collection on this continent. By an arrangement made with the Museum, the students of the Philadel- phia College of Pharmacy are given especial facilities in the study of these great collections, and lectures are delivered at the College, illustrated with material taken therefrom. 18-

In 1886, a dwelling house to the north of the laboratories was altered into a special chemical laboratory for advanced students. The school property on Cherry Street to the south of the college was purchased in 1889. The new front building was erected in 1892, extensive alterations in the lecture rooms and laboratories being made at the same time, giving the College the largest building in the world devoted solely to pharmaceutical and chemical training. In 1894 the fourth Hoor of the rear building was converted into a Botanical and Microscopical Laboratory. COURSES or INsTRUC'rIoN. Lectures. At a meeting April 9, 1821, a committee reported favorably on the estab- lishing of lectures three times a week, from November Ist to March Ist on Materia Medica and Pharmacy and from March ISI to june Ist on Pharmaceutical and General Chemistry. This lecture course must have been later shortened, for in 1829 the examina- tions were held April I5-16, and inthe early 30's the course was made to end about March Ist. The first important educational advance was made in 1846, when Pharmacy was recognized as a distinct branch by the institution of the chair of Practical and Theoretical Pharmacy, and the election of William Proctor, Ir., to fill the same. Tw-o lectures per week were now given in each of the three branches, these being delivered on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings. , In looking over the announcement of the courses of lectures as proposed for 1846-7 one pays tribute to the wisdom and knowledge of the lectures of that period by recognizing that the same ground plan of lectures is followed at the present time. Fieldwork in Botany began in 1867 by Prof. Maisch. In 1878-9 the students were divided into junior and senior classes, permitting graded courses of lectures to be given. ,Prior to 1878 the students attended two years of lectures in the different branches, the lectures being the same in both years. The juniors met on Tuesday, .Thursday and Saturday evenings from Octo- ber Iist to about February I 5th, the Seniors on Monday,W'ednesday and Friday evenings from October ISI to about March ISI. In 1889-90 the courses were extended about one month each. With the change to a three years' course in 1895-6 came the change from eveninglectures to day lectures, the first year class attending on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons, from October Ist to March IO'Cl1, the second year class on Monday, Vlfednefsday and Friday after- noons, from October Ist to March 15th, the third year class on Monday, Wednesv- day and Friday mornings, from October ISf to April Ist. In 1897 the chair of Materia Medica and Botany was divided, The course on Commercial Training established in 1899-19oo was made com- pulsory for Senior students in IQOI-2. In- 1904-5 a course on Pharmaceutical and Chemical Arithmetic was incor- porated into the first year course. The third year course was lengthened to May Ist, the last six weeks consti- tuting a supplementary course on advanced work in all lecture and laboratory departments. I 20
