There was little control over the quality of medicine and even less knowledge of its efficacy. Since there were no educational requirements, unscrupulous per- sons had entered the field. On February 23, 1821, a group of sixty-eight dedicated men, led by Henry Troth and Peter Lehman, met in Carpenters' Hall to determine the future of pharmacy. Not only were they protesting the appalling conditions, but also the exclusion of apothecaries from the initia- tion ofthe University of Pennsylvania's proposed course in pharma- cy. The apothecaries set forth their own program, which was so capa- bly organized that the university abandoned its program. ' Five weeks later on March 27, 1821, the establishment of the Phila- delphia College of Apothecaries was realized. The college offered lec- tures in materia medica by Dr. Samuel Jackson and in pharmaceuti- cal and general chemistry by Dr. Girard Troost. These classes were held threettimesa week in the German Society Hall. c The following year a charter was issued to the college by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, changing the name to the Philadel- phia College of Pharmacy. This recognition marked the founding of the first college of pharmacy in the United States. Filbert Street was the first permanent residence of the college. Lectures were conducted in this building from 1833 until the need for expanded facilities prompted moving to North Tenth Street. This structure, together with an annex built in 1907, served the needs of the institution until 1928. ln this year the college moved to its present location in West Phila- delphia Cin the areaj of Forty-third Street, Woodland and Kingsess- ing Avenues. The original building, recently dedicated to the late President Ivor Griffith, has served as the nucleus for our presently expanding campus. Additions began with the LaWall Memorial Labo- ratory of Biochemistry and Pharmacology and the Remington Labo- ratory for pharmaceutical manufacturing which were dedicated in 1950. Further extension included Kline Hall.

1, The model pharmacy originally provided by George A. Gorgas, was completely renovated in 1964 through the personal gener- osity of the late J. Mahlon Buck. A further addition to the labora- tory facilities was the C. Mahlon Kline Laboratory of Pharmacol- ogy dedicated inthe spring of 1960. This was followed by the in- clusion of Rosenberger Hall in 1963. Paralleling the physical expansion of the college, the curricu- Ium has continually undergone revision to remain current with educational and scientific advances. Inclusion ofcourses in chemistry, bacteriology and biology led to changing the name of the college in 1921 to that which it bears today. Six years later, the Master of Science and Doctor of Science degrees in all four disciplines were also authorized. Several years ago the college received permission Cby the Commonwealthj to grant the Doctor of Philosophy degree. ln 1965, a baccalaureate program in medi- cal technology was instituted. Initiated in 1965 and greatly accelerated by the generosity of Miss Blanche Gardner Whitecar, the college's Program for Pro- gress saw the materialization of the first in a series of long await- ed expansions. Whitecar Hall, the new student union building and cafeteria, is to be followed by Alumni Hall-Rosenberger Audi- torium andthe McNeil Research Center. PCP8tS has once again manifested its leadership in the field of pharmacy with the inception of the Pharm D Program. Designed to train a patient oriented pharmacist prepared for institutional practice, the curriculum will comprise six years and lead to the professional degree of Doctor of Pharmacy. This resurgence only further demonstrates that just as the col- lege was dynamic in 1821 it is known today in 1968 as the most advanced institution of its kind in the world. 6
