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

1934 TERRA MARIAE In 1921, the curriculum was further hroadened to include the- general educa- tional subjects, English, romance languages, algebra, trigonometry, zoology, and physics. In this same year provisions were made for teaching bacteriology. Since then a separate department has Ijeen organized to give instruction in this subject. At present, the department is presided over by Assistant Professor . rthur H. Bryan, V.M.D., who has done special work in bacteriology, and who is an experi- enced worker in the field of animal pathology. In 1930, a de])artment of pharmacology was organized in the school to give instructions in bio-assaying. The equipment of this department and its mainte- nance were made possible through the generosity of the late Captain Isaac E. Emerson, who endowed it liberall y. At present, the department is in charge of Professor Marvin R. Thompson, who received his education at the University of Minnesota, George Washington University, and Johns Hopkins University, and who was fonnerlv emploved as pharmacologist in the Bureau of Chemistry, Wash- ington, D. C. Following the reorganization of the Mar land College of Pharmacy in 185(), control WPS vested in the officers of the College — President. First and Second Vice-Presidents. Treasurer, and Secretary, who, together with the Board of Ex- aminers (three members), constituted the Board of Trustees. The first president was Mr. Thomas G. Mackenzie, 1.S40-1842. followed liy Mr. Benjamin Rush Roberts from 1842 to 1844. Mr. George W. Andrews was president from 1844 to 1871, and was followed in succession by such illustrious pliarmacists as Dr. J. Brown Baxley, Dr. J. Faris Moore, Dr. John F. Hancock, Dr. Joseph Roberts, Dr. Edwin Eareckson, Mr. William S. Thompson, Mr. Louis Dohme and Mr. Charles E. Dohme (1894-1904). In 1904 the College amalgamated with the grou]-) of jiro- fessional schools in Baltimore then known as the University of Maryland. Later, in 1920. it became a department of the state university, when the old University of Maryland was merged with the Maryland State College. With this last merger control was transferred to the officers of the University. The control of tKe Universit ' of Maryland is now vested in the Board of Regents, of which Mr. George M. Schreiber is Chairman. A Faculty Council, composed of the Dean and certain members of the faculty, control the internal affairs of each separate school comprising the University. Dr. Charles C. Caspari, Jr.. became Dean of the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1896, and continued as Dean after the merger of the College with the old University of laryland, until his death on C)ctober 13, 1917. Dr. Daniel Base s uc- ceeded him, but because of conditions incident to the World War. Dr. Base obtained leave of absence to teach in another department, and Dr. Evander F. Kelly was elected Dean on September 30, 1918. This office was held by Dr. Kelly until December 31, 1925, when he became Secretary of the American Pharmaceu- tical Association. Dr. Andrew G.
