These men carried on the work of the college until liJlT. wh« ' n. owing to the death of some members and hangc of Imsincss of others. lhc wen- compelled to suspend all lectures. During the period of operation. howe cr. thcv graduated a numb( r of etnincnl pharma- cists, to whose elTorls in resuscitating and reorganizing the College in ir () much is due. Among the older graduates appear the names of Messrs. Trederick A. Cochrane, Alpheus P. Sharp, William S. fhompson, Samuel Rodgers. J. Paris Moore. John W. Read and Christian Steinhofer. Of these. Messrs. Alpheus I . Sharp and William S.

(ii ' al advances have been made in the profession of pharmacy since 1856, and it has been found necessary to enlarge the curriculiiin from time to time to keep alircasl of this progress.

In 1921, the curriculum was lurlliir limailcncd to inc lude the gcneial educational subjects, English, romance languages, algebra, trigonometry, zoology, and physics. In this same year provisions were made for teaching bacteriologv. Since then a sep- arate department has been organized lo give inslruilion in this subject. At present, the de|)artment is jiresided over li Assistant Professor Arthur 11.

The equii)n)ent of this department and its maintenance were made possible through the generosity of the late Captain Isaac K. Emerson, who en- dowed it liberaliv.
