To the Members of the Class of 1958: A great university president once said, “The person who graduates from college today and stops studying tomorrow is uneducated the day after.” This statement is particularly pertinent to the graduate in any field of medical science today because of the rapidity with which advances are made. Therefore, while I congratulate you upon your achievement, I must also caution you that through this very achievement you have sentenced yourselves to a lifetime of study and alertness to the things which are yet to come. Fortunately, you have been conditioned for this. Your education has been designed to give you an appreciation of the fundamentals which do not change and a basis for understanding most of that which you will encounter. The ever newness of pharmacy will help to keep you young and free from stagnation. May you receive as much joy through serving others in your chosen profession as the faculty members and the administration have received in making your service possible. Congratulations and best wishes! Joseph B. Sprowls Dean 9

These are times of challenge, and because they are, I take special satisfaction in giving to the professional world, with the approval of the University and of your faculty, the 1958 graduates of the School of Pharmacy. You are workers in the field of miracles—a field that has burgeoned in the life span of people now living. It was only about twenty years ago that we began to talk about wonder drugs, and since then pharmaceutical research has continued to lead the way toward discoveries as magical as some of the things recounted in rales of myth and folklore. At a time when the world is so fearful and concerned about the technologies of destruction, we find assurance in the thought that the talents and energies of young people like yourselves are being contributed to the science of saving life and restor- . ing health. Robert L. Johnson President 8

Since 1932, four years of study have been required leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy.
