Since that time more than 14011 students have been graduated from the school now headed by Dr. G. L. Jenkins. In 1929 Purdue University constructed 21 building to be used solely by the Pharmacy School which is now one of the best equipped LS Professor G, L. Jenkins, Head of Pharmacy buildings on the campus. The school has four large 1aboratories-pharmacy, analytical chem- istry, organic chemistry, and pharmacognosy- which are in the Pharmacy Building. Also in this building is the Apothecary which is equipped as a modern drug storeg students bring their prescrip- tions from the Student Health Service and have them hlled here.

The pressing need for new materials, substi- tutes for scarce products, new processes, and methods of recovering waste products taxed the ingenuity of research chemists. The results of many of Purdue's research projects helped a great deal to shorten the war. Now the war is over, but research goes on in peace as vigorously as in war. The demands of the future give chem- ical and metallurgical engineers trememdous opportunities. They will be the men who will carry scientific progress forward to unknown heights. -.....,.,.,, -.....,-,.........-... ...... .... . -..,-.. c :5.jg-,szzsg-.: I L4 -'2T3,'.-gg.3lfA.,'w.' 53feE:..f4m:v1...., i Dr. J.

A flew of the immediate tasks include a lead coating for steel, work on war chemicalsg the application of certain solvents to the treatment of garbage, sweet potatoes, carrots, and coalg the hydrogena- tion of coal to provide a high heat value gas similar to natural gasg a humidity control for prefabricated housesg and the venting of direct gas heaters. 27

Also there is the Pharmacy Library and the Manufacturing Laboratory where eighty-Five percent of the pharmaceutical preparations used by the Student Health Service are manufactured by upperclass students. Purdue's School of Pharmacy is one of the very few schools in the country which does its own manufacturing of medicines. Many x. .-.ff other schools are organizing such manufacturing by studying the methods used at Purdue. Besides the four major Fields of work in pharmacy, there are opportunities for government positions. It is impossible yet to evaluate the tremendous job done by pharmacy during the war as there is still a great deal of' research being done in Purdue laboratories which are ranked among the very best. ul , ., ,-W... . . ,...,q-97... . .- .,Y. - ,,-...:.A1T: M..-.-,-. . . ,i---..T r ' - .A 115- 1: -5,m.:,1.-,fifryl'-fcxvf .155 1 .X , 'Air , 1, , . his ..t5,lq. 1 ,, . -.
