1934 TERRA MARIAE WluMi tlie institution was first chartered in 1841. the lectures were given in the ani]iiiit]ieater ni the University of Maryland. Following the reorganization in 1856, and until 1870, the College occupied halls rented for the pnri)ose. In the early part of the latter year, the city grammar school located at Aisquith Street near Fayette Street was purchased and after radical but needed changes, the College occupied what was then considered a very connnodious home. However, as classes began to increase, the need was felt for more room and better facilities, and in 1886 a new building was erected on the old site. This building was fitted with the then-most-niodern in scientitic ap])liances, and was well stocked with tiie necessary ajjparatus, materials, and specimens. The College continued to occupy these quarters until it became the l)ei)artment of Pharmacy (jf the University of Maryland, in 1904. . t the i)resent time the School of Pharmacy is located in the new Pharmacy and Dental Building at Lombard and (jreene Streets, which building was made possible by an api)ropriation from the State of Marvland during the legislati e meet of 192 ' . The new building is the realization of a great need for ade(|uate (|uarters in which to teach the honored profession of Pharmacy in Maryland. Fveryone in- terested in Pharmac)- may well be jjroud of the splendid building, as well as of the modern eciuijiment and ap])aratus which have been provided for demonstration and teaching purposes. From the foregoing it will be seen that the School of l ' h;irniacy of the Univer- sity of Maryland, which began its existence as the .Maryland College of Pharmacy, has e.xercised its functions as a teaching institution since 1841 except for the ten- year ])eriod 1846 to 1856. In sjiite of its vicissitudes it has steadily borne itself onward and upward. It has steadily increased and imjiroved its facilities to enable it to iniiiart instruction in kee|)ing with the ])harmaceutical knowledge of the times. It was the first institution of its kind to establish a ])rolessorshii) of Pharmacy, and thereby allocate to that branch of learning an individuality of its own. It was also one of the first schools to make analytical chemistry obligatory for gradu- ation. In still other lines its leadership has been manifested, particularly in the textbooks ]Hiblished by members of its teaching stalT. The result has been a steady growth in size and influence so that the School now holds a jiosition in the front ranks of the teaching institutions of its kind in this countrv. seventeen
