S ecretary-Treastwev' The Bachelor of Science Class ITH the adoption of the four year course, our college deemed it advisable to offer a course of one year's duration, leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, to those students who have previously graduated from the three year course. As a result of this action there is a small group of students in our school who will receive this degree in June. This is the first class to be graduated by our college with the Bachelor of Science degree. The curriculum consisted of cultural as Well as scientific subjects. The former are German, English, economics, and mathematicsg the latter are bacteriology, physics, preventive medicine, and organic synthesis. Readings in scientific German were undertaken by several of the students who had had previous training in this language. Bacteriology was well received by the students who realized the importance of this subject to the professional phar- macist. Vaccines, serums, antitoxins, and their applications were thoroughly discussed. It is quite possible that in the near future pharmacists will admin- ister these products. Preventive medicine illustrated the important role of the pharmacist in public health work. It considered the treatment and diagnosis of diseases, emphasizing their relation to pharmacy. The introduction of phys- ics into our curriculum supplied the breach which existed in our understand- ing of chemistry. This led to a greater deductive ability. This method of reasoning should prove beneficial to us in our future endeavors. Having acquired a standard academic degree, we can now consider our- selves on a par with other professions. The opportunity for greater specializa- tion in pharmacy or its allied branches is now offered. We have the privilege of entering the graduate school of a university and of working for higher degrees, the advantages of which are self evident. The government service affords a livelihood of high merit. Public health work is very well adopted for one with pharmaceutical training. Page Thu ty Four

KLOSTERMAN, ROY COSGRIFF, ROBERT EUGENE LEYHE, PAUL HENRY FERGUSON, NOEL MOORE VASSOLO, VINCENT M KLEIST, VERNON CARL J ESKEY, HAROLD ALFRED S p o n s o r To the Members of the Bachelor of Science Class: The class of 1933 is the first to be granted the BS. degree from the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. The members of this class have been grad- uated from the three-year course with the degree of Graduate of Pharmacy and some have also received the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist. They had, however, considered it advantageous to continue their work and complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree. I sincerely believe that this is a wise course, and I hope that many others may find it advisable to follow their example. In this message to the class, I wish to express my appreciation for the honor you have bestowed upon me by selecting me as your sponsor. I claim no credit for the pleasantness and Congeniality of our associations. It would indeed be a reHectiOn upon anyone should he be unable to enjoy associating with so industrious a group. It is often said, there is more joy in anticipation than in realization. Even though you may not believe this to be true, I am sure you will agree' that vision is a very admirable trait in any group or individual. I admire your vision and your industry. My wish for you is that your hopes may materialize, your industry be rewarded, and your efforts may succeed. O. K. DE FOE. Page Thirty Fwe
