WILLIAM PRESTON LANE, JR., LL.D. Governor of the State of Maryland MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Classes graduating this year from the University of Maryland will go out into a world which offers opp ortunities for achievement greater than mankind ever has known. In no field are the opportunities greater than in the preparation and uses of thera- peutical agents. It is in this field that graduates of the School of Pharmacy of the University have long distinguished themselves, and I am confident that the Class of 1947 has among its members those who also will become bright stars in the firmament of phar- maceutical accomplishment. The best wishes of the University, of the Board of Regents, of the Faculty and of the President go with you. In my humble opinion, you will reflect credit and glory upon your Alm.i Mater. H. C. Byrd, President, HARRY CLIFTON BYRD. LL.D. President of the University

ANDREW GROVER DuMEZ, Ph.G., B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Dean of the School of Pharmacy TUD ean s M e ' s ao e I o I ne ::yvaa[ja{.e9 It is now more than a year since World War II was ended, and victory for the al- lied cause was due in no small measure to the excellent health conditions maintained in the respective allied countries and their military forces. Pharmacists in this country can be proud of the fact that adequate pharmaceutical service was maintained for both, our civilian population and our military forces, even though approximately 10,000 phar- macists were taken from civilian life to serve in our armed forces. Not only were our civilian population and military forces supplied with the usual drugs and medicines of long established therapeutic value, but a number of valuable new drugs were discovered and production on a commercial scale inaugurated. In a few more months, you will have completed your professional education. I congratulate you upon having reached this objective at a time when many important new discoveries in the field of drug therapy are pending and when you will have a greater opportunity than ever before to make use of your professional education. I feel that you can be depended upon to take full advantage of these opportunities to the end that pharmaceutical service in the State may be maintained on the present high level of eflSciency. A. G. DuMez, Dean.
