d The School of Pharmacy was organized as an integral department of Texas Southern University in 1949. Its aim is to provide a means of pharmaceutical education and to supply a broad foundation for the students professional career by offering systematic instruction and special train- ing in those subjects requisite for the successful practice of pharmacy. The primary interest of the faculty of the School of Pharmacy is to develop students academically. The faculty, ever mindful of the changing face of pharmacy, continu- ously study and revise the curriculum to meet the needs of these changes. This is reflected in the most recent revision of the course of study to a patient oriented curriculum. In order to provide student participation in curriculum revi- sions and programs related directly to their welfare, one student is selected from the four final professional years as a voting member of the faculty. Furthermore, faculty meet- ings are open to all students except those where the priva- cy of the individual is involved. Each year the junior and senior classes make an educational tour to one of the large nationally known pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. The School of Pharmacy occupies Gray Hall, a centrally heated and air-conditioned building planned and built for the primary purpose of providing the best possible physical facilities for pharmaceutical education and research in the basic pharmaceutical sciences. The building includes 12 specialized laboratories in pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacognosy and pharmacology; hot and cold room; balance room: equip- ment room, conference and seminar room: kitchen: sixteen faculty offices; one pharmacy administration office; three classrooms; and an amphiteahter with a seating capacity of 190 persons which is used for seminars, meetings and con- ferences with combined classes of students. All classrooms and laboratories create a professional at- mosphere of educational growth in the pursuit of pharma- ceutical excellence. School of Pharmacy
