i •,-J4r tf hak, Jj, Dr. CKarles C. Plitt IN dedicating this Terra Mariai-; to Dr. Plitt, the student body of the University of Maryland has employed its most effecti e medium for the purpose of honoring this member of the faculty of the School of Pharmacy. To those of us who know him best, Dr. Plitt has always been a conscientious co-worker in the student body, the x ' ery personi- fication of modesty and sincerity, and a sympathetic ever-helpful friend. Dr. Charles C. Plitt was born in Baltimore, May 6, 1869, and was gradu- ated Cum Honore from the Baltimore C ity College. His interest and fancy turned early to the botanical sciences. In 1891 he received the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.) from the Maryland College of Pharmacy, and was also the recipient of the highest honors conferred upon a student — the Simon Medal and the Medal for General Excellence. Dr. Plitt early in his career undertook teaching in the public schools of Baltimore, and later taught at the Baltimore City College. At present he fills the chair of Professor of Botany and Materia Medica in the School of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland, having risen to that position from Associate Professor of X ' egetable Histology (1907). Dr. Plitt is internationally known for his work on Lichens, although other groups of plants such as the Ferns, the Ilepatics, the Mosses, and the Fungi have received his attention. In recognition of Dr. Plitt ' s research work in Botany, the Maryland Academy of Sciences bestowed upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Science (1921). He is a member of various scientific organizations; chairman of the Botanical Section, Maryland Academy of Sciences; a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (elected Fellow in 1923) ; a member of the Botanical Society of America, the Fern Societ -, the Ecological Society of America, and the Sulli -ant Moss Society; and he is interested in the seminars in Botany and Biology of the Johns Hopkins Unixersity. -rrr- mw 1 i I 4 i- .r .« |- .U
