IDIQESCIDIDTO pharmacy, or to have passed a satisfactory examination confirmed by a certificate obtained from the board of pharmacy appointed by the Governor. This law acted like a decree of compulsory education and fanned the fiame for the requirement of pharmaceutical education among the apprentices in Missouri drug stores. The future growth of the College was secured by it, and Ennon Sander, one of the promoters of its reorganization, resigned the chair of Materia Medica which he had accepted under certain conditions in favor of a very industrious, rising young man, Dr. Gtto A. Wall, a former apprentice of his, who had become a graduate in Pharmacy and subsequently in Medicine also, and was filling, at the time, the chair of Materia Medica at the Missouri Medical College. Dr. W'all was elected professor of the board and occupied for many years that position with credit to the institution and great profit to the students. Meanwhile, Dr. Theodore Fay had been elected professor of Chemistry in place of Mr. Krebs and Dr. Justin Steer, a most estimable teacher, resigned in favor of Mr. Hubert Primm, who occupied the chair of Pharmacy from June, 1873, to June, 1875, when he was succeeded by Mr. M: Good, who had that position for many years and conducted the business of the faculty as its honored dean. A new constitution and by-laws were adopted January 8th, 1878, which still govern the College. During the same year Dr. C. O. Curtman was elected pro- fessor of Chemistry who introduced a course of analytical chemistry, while a pharmaceutical laboratory was added to the college, under the inst1'uction of Mr. VV. 13. Adington. In July, 1882, Mr. Francis I-lemm succeeded Mr. Adington and in May, 1885, he was also appointed instructor in practical Pharmacy. In May, 1887, when a chair of Practical Pharmacy was established, he was elected its professor. The fruits of scientific education, practically demonstrated by the welcome reception of its graduates in the extensive Mississippi Valley, increased the patron- age of the College, and in 1883 it was resolved to accept the offer of Mr. Charles Gietner, who proposed to erect a building for the College, in every respect suitable for its purposes. ln 188-1 the session was opened with large classes in attendance. In 1885, Mr. H. M. NN-lhelpley was appointed instructor in the niicroscopical labora- tory and when two years later the department of microscopy was added to the College, Mr. iVhelpley was placed in the chair as professor of microscopy. Dr. C. O. Curtman was replaced as professor of Chemistry by Professor Gustavus Hinrichs in 1889. Mr. Win. K. llhardt was appointed demonstrator in microscopy in September, 1891. At this time the necessities of the College again required more room. A build- ing lot fund already having been originated in 1890, a substantial building was erected on the south side of Locust Street between 21st and 22nd, The new struc- ture was dedicated to the uses of the College on October 10th, 1892, with the com- mencement of the 27th annual session. ix I' I9 fafgis 3 2 SFU' 9 Page Seventyffiive

-ld DIQESCIDIDTU Ie'---4--as The 64th session of the College was officially ushered in on November 7, 1927, in the new building located on Euclid Avenue and Parkview Place, in the midst of one of the leading medical centers in the country. During the same year Pro- fessor Hemm passed into the great beyond much to the sorrow of his friends. He was succeeded as Professor of Theoretical Pharmacy by Arthur F. Schlichting. ln May, 1930, Professor Hogstad resigned and Dr. C. WV. Duden was elected to succeed him as Professor of Materia Medica. In the same year Dr. Caspari, after teaching twenty-five yC31'S, was forced to relinquish his professorship due to the pressure of outside activities and Dr. James R. Thayer was elected as Pro- fessor of Theoretical Chemistry with Noel M. Ferguson as Assistant succeeding George Long, who had resigned. Due to the rapid advancement of Pharmacy the four-year course was ofncially adopted by the College to begin in the fall of 1932 and the Bachelor of Science degree will now be given in place of the Ph.G. degree, the standard for 68 years.
