D ailiii 2 1 ll' THE DEGREE COURSE IN PHARMACY DURING the years 1937 and 1938 discussions, relative to a general revision of all phases of pharmaceutical education, were carried on between members of the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association and representatives of the University. These discussions led to the inaugu- ration of a University course leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. The Degree Course now replaces the Diploma Course which has been offered since 1914. The first class was enrolled in the new course in September, 1940. This forward step is in keeping with the steady advancement which has marked the history of phar- maceutical education in Manitoba since its beginning in 1888. The new course was outlined having in mind similar courses offered in Universities and Colleges of Pharmacy in Canada and the United States. The course covers three academic years following the completion of the term of apprenticeship. The curriculum has been completely revised. New courses of practical and cultural value have been introduced. The work in other courses has been revised and extended considerably. New laboratory work covering various fields relating to Pharmacy has been introduced. Ten different laboratory classes are now offered during the three- years as compared to four offered during the two years of the Diploma Course. New equipment and working space has been provided. Changes in the content of courses will be instituted to keep the course in line with modern developments, and when experience shows such changes to be in the best interests of practical pharmaceutical requirements. 140

OR us, this year is one of special significance. Twenty-five years ago the members of the first grad- uating class in the Diplo- ma Course in Pharmacy received their Diplomas. You are the last class to be registered in that course. Your Diplomas are the last to be issued. Your graduation this year will mark the close of a chapter in our his- tory covering a period of twenty-seven years. A new one began with the institution of the Degree Course. To you, the members of the last graduating class in this course, we say good-bye with more than a little regret. We have enjoyed the very pleasant relationships which have marked the last two years. We have appreciated your courtesy and attention. Your spirit of willingness and co-opera- tion has lightened very considerably the adminis- trative and teaching duties. You step out into difficult days. Life will meet you with heavy demands in the Way of effort and sacrifice. Go forth with confidence in yourself. with high ideals of service and conduct, and with a firm resolve to discharge Whatever responsibili- ties may be yours with credit to yourself and to your University. D. MCDOUGALL. Dean. 141
