HARRY CLIFTON BYRD, B.S., LL.D., D.Sc. President of the University of Maryland None of the component units of the University of Maryland has a more important function to perform in our society than the School of Pharmacy. The science of medicine originally was based on the concoction from herbs, metals, and other substances, of remedies for ills, pains, and injuries. The health and welfare of mankind has always depended a good deal on the success of such efforts. From the first day when a human being found that a lily had properties which would allay fevers, and perhaps long before that, the science of medicine has progressed; but until this day its success still depends on abiliay to concoct from various materials the medicines without which medical practice would not be able to achieve its goals. Now this branch of the science of medicine is highly specialized under the title of pharmacy, and in the schools of pharmacy, as irf the School of Pharmacy of the University of Maryland, men must look for leadership in this field. Therefore, those students that are attending the School of Pharmacy and who graduate from that School have a real responsibility to society. I believe that they will fulfill that responsibility ably, efficiently, and with honor to themselves and to the University of Maryland. Sincerely, H. C. BYRD President
