THE SCHOOL . . . .and its history In 1901, with two outstanding Schools of Pharmacy in Philadelphia, two students enrolled in the first class of the Temple University School of Pharmacy, and in 1904, received their Graduate of Pharmacy degrees. With just a handful of teachers and very few facilities and by sharing classes with the Medical School the school was begun. The course was offered as a two year plan of evening classes. So it was, with such meagre facilities and a few instructors that the great foundation was laid on which such a wonderful school has arisen. In 1906, the Pennsylvania Board of Pharmacy approved the school and placed it on the list of recognized Schools of Pharmacy. I he two year day course was established with classes being held on Monday. Wednesday, and Friday from twelve noon to six P M F.vening classes were continued until 1918. The year 1906 also saw enrollment increase to eleven students. In 1907, the School of Pharmacy was separated from the School of Medicine and Dr. John R Minchart was appointed Dean of Pharmacy This same year all classes of the Medical and Pharmacy Schools were moved to the newly acquired Dental College Buildings at 18th and Buttonwood Streets. During the ensuing quarter century under the leadership of Dr. Minchart. the school grew rapidly and rose in importance. Additional facilities were added and the course expanded and improved. In 1925 the three year course was established and in 1928 the school was accredited by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. At the time of Dr. Minehart’s death, the school was finely established and widely recognized. Dr H Evert Kendig. Dr Minehart’s successor as Dean in 1932 had already contributed a great deal to the school. As an active teacher since 1907. he played an important part in the development of the early instructional program. As Dean from 1932 to 1950, Dr. Kendig proved to be a most capable administrator and educator During these eighteen years of his administration the four year course was established and the importance and prestige of the school were greatly elevated. In 1948, Dean Kendig realized his aspirations of a new building in which to house the Pharmacy; the present modern Pharmacy Dental School on Broad Street above Allegheny. Dr. Joseph B. Sprowls succeeded Dr. Kendig as Dean in 1950, after serving as Professor Pharmacy in the school lor two years. During the past ten years of his administration, the course has been improved by extending it to five years and the faculty enlarged. During the past years additional research facilities have been added and the post graduate program expanded immensely. Ours is a school with a great past and what most likely shall prove to be an even greater future. The school is steadily moving forward to new achievements and brighter horizons. 12
