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
