fr- ill i. y ii krito . G T ?e College of Pharmacy -HE College of Pharmacy of the State Univer- sity was established in 1885 through the efforts of George II. Schaffer of Port iladi- WILBUR J. TEETERS Dean on and J. II. Harrison. Commissioners of Pharmacy. Tlie college has always cooperated with the druggists of Iowa in advancing pharmaceutical education. Students are given practical work under careful supervision of a registered pharmacist. This feature of the college is distinctive as well as the drug service station which supplies drugs for all the university. The garden of medicinal plants of approximately two acres grows specimens for class demonstration and commercial use. Pharmacy is a profession protected by law. This is not for the purpose of granting special privileges to pharmacists, hut to safeguard the public health. The responsibility, therefore, of the College of Pharmacy of the State University of Iowa is to furnish clerks, proprietors and specialists in specific lines not only qualified educationally but both men and women of the highest type, so that the ideals of the profession will be upheld. Pharmacy is in a large measure applied chemistry, so that it was but natural that the pharmacy college should be housed in a unit of the chemistry building. The entrance and graduation requirements of the College of Pharmacy are as high as those of any college in the United States, and its equipment is surpassed by none. It holds membership in the American conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties whose object is to promote the interest of pharmaceutical education. EVERETTE McARTHUR EDSKO G.

rjae 3 PERCY BORDWELL Acting Dean The College of Law c ' HE Law School was organized at the Univer- sity of Iowa in December, 1865. It was founded by Judges Wright and Cole of the Iowa Supreme Court. Before the first year had closed there was added to the faculty William G. Hammond, best known by his later title of Chancellor. In 1868 the school was moved to Iowa City and be- came the law department of the State University. Chancellor Hammond became one of the foremost legal scholars of his time and with Judge Wright was active in the early work of the American Bar Association of which Judge Wright was the tenth president. Forever linked with the name of Chancellor Hammond will be that of his successor and former pupil, Emlin McClain, who, after a long service as chancellor, served two terms on the Supreme Court bench and then served the school the last year of his life, 1914-lf), as dean. The primary purpose of the law school is to train students so that they will be given the right start towards the highest in service and honor that the legal profession affords. Whatever may have been true in the past the man who waits to get his law until he is admitted to the bar is not now likely to become much of a lawyer. A purpose secondary only to that of the training of students is scholarly productivity. With our forty-eight states each with a law of its own, ihe law is chaotic and only great labor on the part of law faculties will bring order. A third purpose of the law school is cooperation with the Bench and Bar in the. solution of many other legal problems that confront the profession. fc d FKA.NCIS J. MACLAUOHLIN F.

1 1 in The College of Commerce C CHESTER A. PHILLIPS Dean II E College of Commerce of the University of Iowa was established in 1921. Its rapid development in both student body and faculty has been such that it now ranks as one of the three or four largest colleges on the I ' Diversity of Iowa campus. This development has taken place despite the requirement that commerce students com- plete two years ' work in the school of Liberal Arts before they enter upon a professional training period of the same length. The growth in numbers is exceeded in importance by the expansion and en- richment of the curriculum and improvement in methods of instruction. The Bureau of Business Research, established in 1926, besides contributing directly to the solution of some of the most pressing business and economic problems of the state, has lent reality and practical effectiveness to the instruction of the school. With its increasing growth in numbers and improvement in methods and facilities there has been corresponding advance in the spirit of the student body. Esprit de corp and whole-hearted cooperative action are notable factors among both the students and the faculty members of the school. The fundamental purpose of the college is to train broadly for a concrete business. It is being realized with greater and greater fullness and at the same time the student does not lose sight of non-pecuniary values. HUGO F. OSTBKRCi WILBUR E. CLAUSEN Twenty-six
