Following the reorganization of the Maryland College of Pharmacy in 1856, con- trol was vested in the offices of the College President, first and second Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, and Secretary, who, together with the Board of Examiners (three members), constituted the Board of Trustees. The first president was Mr. Thomas G. Mackenzie, 1840-1842, followed by 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 illus- trious pharmacists as Dr. J. Brown Baxley, Dr. ]. Paris 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, 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 the University of Maryland is now vested in the Board of Regents, of which Dr. W. W. Skinner is chairman. A Faculty Council, composed of the Dean and certain members o£ 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 Maryland, until his death on October 13, 1917. Dr. Daniel Base succeeded 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, igi8. This office was held by Dr. Kelly until December 31, 1925, when he became Secretary of the American Pharmaceutical Association. Dr. Andrew G. DuMez, for- merly Associate Pharmacologist, Hygienic Laboratory, U. S. Public Health Service, is the present Dean. When the institution was first chartered in 1841, the lectures were given in the amphitheater of the University of Maryland. Following the reorganization in 1856, and until 1876, the College occupied halls rented for the purpose. 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 commodious 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-modern in scientific appliances, and was well stocked with the necessary apparatus, materials, and specimens. The College continued to occupy these quarters until it became the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland, in 1904. At the present time the School of Pharmacy is located in the new Pharmacy and Dental Building at Lombard and Greene Streets, which build- ing was made possible by an appropriation from the State of Maryland during the legis- lative session of 1929. The new building is the realization of a great need for adequate quarters in which to teach the honored profession of Pharmacy in Maryland. Everyone interested in Phar- macy may well be proud of this splendid building, as well as of the modern equip ment and apparatus which have been provided for demonstration and teaching purposes. From the foregoing it will be seen that the School of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland, which began its existence as the Maryland College of Pharmacy, has exer- cised its functions as a teaching institution since 1841 except for the ten-year perio ' d 1846 to 1856. In spite of its vicissitudes it has steadily borne itself onward and upward. It has steadily increased and improved its facilities to enable it to impart instruction in keeping with the pharmaceutical knowledge of the times. It was the first institution of its kind to establish a professorship 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 graduation. In still other lines its leadership has been manifest, particularly in the textbooks published by members of its teaching staff. The result has been a s teady growth in size and influence so that the School now holds a posi- tion in the front ranks of the teaching institutions of its kind in this country. 22

Dr. Charles C. Plitt of the class of 1 89 1 served as Profes- sor of Botany and Pharmacog- nosy until his death in 1933. Assistant Professor Frank J. Slama, who is an alumnus of the school and who received the Degree of Doctor of Phi- losophy Irom the University of Maryland was appointed to heail the department in 193S. Great advances have l een made in the profession of phar- macy since 1856, and it has been found necessary to en- large the curriculum trom time to time to keep abreast of this progress. In the broad- ening of its curriculum, the school has been guided largely by the standards set by the American . ssociation of Col- leges in Pharmacy. In uji , courses in pharmaceutical aritlimetic, pharmaceutica added. Recently the course in commercial pharmacy has been expanded, and in the future all work of this nature will be given by the department ot economics. This depart- ment is presided over by Miss B. Olive ( ' ole, Ph.ir.I)., l,i..Pi., who is also Prolessor ot Pharmaceutical Law. In 1921, the curriculum was lurther broadened to include the general educational subjects, English, romance languages, algebra, trigonometry, zoology, and physics. In the same year provisions were made lor teaching bacteriology. Since then a separate depart- ment was in charge of .Assistant Professor . rthur H. Bryan, X ' .M.D., B.S., . t.. ., .At present, the department is presided over by . ssociate Professor Thomas C. CJrubb, A.B., Ph.D., whose experience includes commer- cial work, public health work, and research in bacteriology. In 1930, a d ' partmtnt cf pharmacology was organized in the school to give instruc- tion in bio-assaying. The equipment of this department and its maintenance were made possible through the generosity of the late C aptain Isaac E. Emerson, who endowed it liberally. In 1938 Marvin R. Thompson. Ph. D., Emerson Professor of Pharmacology since 1930, resigned to accept the Director- ship of the Warner Institute for Thera- peutic Research. Clifford W. Chapman, Ph. D., who has been with the Laboratory of Hvgiene, Department of Pensions and Na- tional Health of Canada, which depart- ment is in charge of drug control work in the Dominion, and in which he held the position of pharmacologist, is now the pres- ent head of the Department. 21 r n -
