1934 TERRA MARIAE HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY T HE need of an institulinn where apprentices in pliannacy could l)e given sys- tematic instruction in tlie sciences underlying their profession had long been felt hy leading ])harniacists and i)hysiclans, when in 1841 a charter was obtained from the General Assembly for Maryland College of Pharniacy. The incorporators, sev- enteen in number, and among whom were .Messrs. ( ieorge M. Andrews, Thomas (•. McKenzie. K. Rush Rcjberts, Robert Coleman and Dr. David Stewart, immedi- ately organized and established courses of instruction in chemistry, jjharmacy and materia nicdica. These men carried on the work of the college until 1847. when, owing to the death of some members and cliange of business of others, they were compelled to suspend all lectures. During the i)eriod of operation, however, they graduated a number of eminent iiharniacists, to whose efforts in resuscitating and reorganizing the College in 1850 much is clue. Among the older graduates ap- ])ear the names of Messrs. Frederick A. Cochrane. .Mjjheus 1 . . harp, William .S. Thompson. Samuel Rixlgers. J. Paris Moore, John V. Read and Christian Steinhofer. Of these, Messrs. . li)heus P. Shar]) and William S.

Dr. David Stewart ga e the lectures in i)harniacy during the i)eriod 1841- 1846. Following the reorganization, the chair of Pharmacy w as filled by Profes- sor Israel J. Grahame. who was succeeded by Mr. L. Philli])s. an earnest and interesting instructor. The sudden death of Professor Phillips cau.sed the election of J. Paris Moore to the vacancy. Professor Moore was one of the oldest grad- uates of the College, and was a continued and zealous worker in behalf of his. Alma Mater, and in the interest of pharmacy, until his death. He continued in the chair of Pharniacy for nineteen years, when, on the resignation of the chair of Materia Medica by Professor Baxley, he was chosen Professor of Materia Medica. Then, on March 8, 1879, Dr. Charles C. Caspari, Jr., who was later to play such an important part in the history of the Maryland College of Pharniacy. was elected Professor of Pharmacy, which chair he continued to fill until his death on thirteen

Dr. Culbreth, who luu EI |- l ' ' 2(j - 1929 1 always been an ardent worker for his Alma Mater, ably and efficiently held the ])ro- fessorship until June 10, 1920, when he resigned from active duty and became i ' rofessor Emeritus. Dr. Ciiarles C. Plitt. of the class of 1891, is now ])rofessor of Botany and Pharmacognosy. Great advances have been made in the ])rofession of pharmacy since 1856, and it has been foiuul necessary to enlarge the curriculum from time to time to keep abreast of this progress. In the broaden- ing of its curriculum, the school has been guided largely by the standards set by the -American Association of Colleges of Phar- macy. In 1913, courses in pharmaceutical arithmetic, pharmaceutical Latin, and phar- maceutical law were added. Recently the course in commercial ])harmacy has been expanded, and in the future all work of this nature will be given by the department of economics. This department is pre- sided over by Miss B. Olive Cole, Phar.D., LL.B., who is also Professor of Pharma- ceutical Law. Deceased. fifteen
