CCLLECE HISTORY How do you present 150 years of a co1lege's history in a few pages? Do you tell of the many great men and Women who taught here? Do you list the giants in their field who have passed through the doors of the college? Or, do you just present what many people know about the college and hope that their memories will be revisited? Here, then, is 150 years of great moments in pharmacy. The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy was established in historic Carpenter's Hall in 1821. At that time the population of Philadelphia was 187,000 making it the lar- gest and principle city in the United States. On the streets of the city Indians were as common as Quakers and lighting was by candles and animal oils. This picture by Robert Thom is his impression of what that historic meeting looked like. Seen here are some of the 68 founding fathers of the College who were disen- chanted with the practice of phannacy at the time, They were determined to im- prove and elevate the practice of pharmacy in the interest of public health. 6

From The Office Of The Dean . . . To the Graduating Class of 1971: I am writing this message to you while flying eight miles above the country in transit to the West Coast. The trip will take only half as long as my first similar flight some twenty years ago, such has been our technological progress. Still 'faster supersonic planes can halve the time again. Is this, however, what should be manis goal - to build bigger, better and faster machines? Is tl1is Where our tme needs lie? just recently, I rode the subway and was sickened by the sight of immly school chil- dren being kept in line by a policeman with a snarling police dog, grafliti covered every wall just as filth and debris clutter every street, alley, and road wherever we go. VVhile our cities are bankrupt financially, morally and spiritually, we still seek greater material gains and think that money alone can solve the problem. We de- ploy our army the world over while our own streets are less safe than in those coun- tries which we presume need our military presence The average dog in America, today, lives better than do millions of our citizens and far better than two-thirds of the world's population. Indeed, dogs and cats are loved more than people by many who own them as their actions toward their neighbors attest. 1 The scientific and professional training which you have received at this College is important. It will assist you in having a successful career. In the pursuit of this, however, give some of your time, talent, and expertise in realigning America's goals and its priorities. It is not more scientific hardware we need most or even more eru- dite scientists and professionals, each in his own little niche. It is concern for what is happening to Americans and what they are doing to themselves and to others. Without such concern and corrective action, only national disgrace will be our al- most certain fate. There is still time, for Americans are resilient and courageous, such is our heritage. If we can explore the moon and planets, we can solve the problems of our cities, our society, and our nation. A redirection of om' national effort is long overdue and it is a challenge for each of us. Those who have received from society the special benefits of a higher education have an even greater obligation to contribute their best in the solution of its problems. f 'T' 0,406 I L. F.

At the first commencement, sixteen men received diplomas, and, that same month, the College of Apothecaries, as it was then called, installed its first two professors. But the College was still meeting in Carpenter's Hall and a new place in Which the lectures could be given had to be found. The first home of the new college was rooms in the Hall of the German Society on Seventh Street between, Market and Chestnut Streets. 7'1- 1821-1832 In 1822, the College was incorporated as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and lost no time in trying to change the practice of pharmacy. Initial publications from the College included Iournal of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacyw fl825j, The Druggist's Manualv - a catalogue of drugs and medicines in 1826, and the Formulae of the Preparation of Patent Medicines begun in 1824. Charles Marshall fleftj, the College s first President, and frightj, Samuel Price Wether- ill, first Chairman of the Board.
