TERRA M A R I A E 9 3 5 Tlic- Department of l h.irmacy of the University of Maryland (the Maryland College of Pharmacy) was the first to be established in the School. In fact, the Maryland School has the distinction of having ' created the first full professorship in pharmacy in this country. Three years after the School was organized, in 184-4, the chair of Theory and Practice of Pharmacy was established and David Stewart was the first professor to occupy the chair. The Department of Pharmacy has been the outstanding department of the College since its beginning. This is no doubt due in a large part to the char icter of the men who have occupied the chair of Pharmacy, among them being Professor Israel Grahame, who attained national recognition for his work on per- colation, and Dr. Charles Caspari, Jr., who made an enviable reputation in his work on the United States Dis- pensatory and on his textbook on Pharmacy which has gone through a number of editions and is still in pub- lication. I or some years the Department was handi- capped because of the lack of equipment and ailec]uate quarters for carrying on its work. These handicaps were left behind in 1930, when the School moved into the new building provided for it by the State. Its quarters are now up-to-date and equipment of the most modern type has been in.stalled for teaching all of the courses in pharmacy, including manufacturing pharma- cy. Recently tlie Department has taken over the opera- tion of the pharmacies of the LIniversity Hospital and the Free Dispensary which will provide additional fa- cilities for instruction. ANDREW G.

TERRA M A R I A E 19 3 5 MARVIN R. THOMPSON, Ph.G., B.S., Ph.D. Until recently, the science of pharmacology, occupied an important place in the curriculum of medical schools only. Pharmacy schools had been content to teach little more than doses and the most important therapeutic uses of drugs, aside from the regular courses in phar- macy, chemistry, etc. The Department of Pharmacology of this School of Pharmacy was established as a separate unit, wholly independent of the Medical School, in 1931). It was one of the first, if not the first, depart- ment of its kind established in a School of Pharmacy in this country. It is well equipped for undergraduate teach- ing, for advanced teaching and pharmacologic research. Its founding w.is the result of the leadership of this School in recognizing a neglected responsibility in phar- maceutical education. If pharmacists are to understand the therapeutic uses of drugs they must have a knowl- edge of their pharmacologic nature, and if they must provide pharmaceutical products for the medical pro- , , , , fession an understanding of pharmacological assay meth- Emerson Professor of PhtrniLicolopy , ■ , ■ , o i o ' - ods IS essential. The undergraduate courses of the department are designed to teach the relation- ship between the pharmacologic action and therapeutic use of the various medicinal agents, and also to present an introduction to the principles of quantitative pharma- cology. The graduate courses enable students to specialize in pharmacology as a spe- cialized science. In the approximately five years of existence of the department, its staff and graduate students have contributed an impressive list of publications to the phar- macologic literature. Our school is indebted to the late Captain Isaac E. Emerson for his generosity in the endowment of the professorship of the department. The first incumbent. Professor Marvin R. Thompson, was appointed to the chair in September, 1930. PHARMACOLOGY LABORATORY twenty-eight
