The incorporators, seventeen in num- ber, and among whom were Messrs. George M. Andrews, Thomas G. Mckenzie, R. Rush Roberts, Robert Coleman and Dr. David Stewart, immediately organized and established courses of instruction in chemistry, pharmacy and materia mcdica. These men carried on the work of the college until 1 847, when, owing to the death of some members and change of business of others, they were compelled to suspend all lectures. During the period of operation, however, they graduated a number of eminent pharmacists, to whose efforts in resuscitating and reorganizing the college in 1856 much is due. Among the older graduates appear the names of Messrs. Frederick A. Cochrane, Alpheus P. Sharp, William Thompson, Samuel Rodgers, J. Paris Moore, John W. Read and Christian Stein- hofer. Of these, Messrs. Alpheus P. Sharp and William S. Thompson were not only earn- est and active supporters of the College, but were adornments to the profession they rep- resented, as well as graduates of whom their Alma Mater might well be proud. In 1856 at the request of the graduates and a number of Baltimore pharmacists, the president, Mr. George W. Andrews, called a meeting which resulted in the election of thirty-one new members, and a thorough reorganization of the College. The new Board of Trustees established three professorships: Dr. Lewis Steiner was elected Professor of Chemistry; Dr. Charles P. Frick, Professor of Materia Medica; and Israel Grahame, Pro- fessor of Pharmacy. A course of lectures was given during the season 1857-185 8 to a class of intelligent and appreciative students, and the College took a new lease on life, which has since been maintained. Dr. David Stewart gave the lectures in pharmacy during the period 1841-1846. Following the reorganization, the chair of Pharmacy was filled by Professor Israel J. Grahame, who was succeeded by Mr. P. Phill ips, an earnest and interesting instructor. The sudden death of Professor Phillips caused the election of J. Paris Moore to the va- cancy. Professor Moore was one of the older graduates of the College, and was a con- sistent and zealous worker in behalf of his Alma Mater and in the interest of pharmacy, until his death. He continued in the chair of pharmacy for nineteen years, when, on resignation of the chair of Materia Medica by Professor Baxley, he was chosen Professor of Materia Medica. Then on March 8, 1879, Dr. Charles C. Caspari, Jr. who was later to play such an important part in the history of the Maryland College of Pharmacy was elected Professor of Pharmacy, which chair he continued to fill until his death on October 13, 1917. He was succeeded by Dr. Evander F. Kelly, class of 1902, who held the pro- fessorship until January, 1926, when it was taken over by Dr. John C. Krantz, Jr., class of 1919, who held it for one year. Andrew G. DuMez, Ph.G., B.S., M.S., Ph.D., the present Dean, now holds the professorship. Mr. William E. A. Aiken was lecturer in chemistry from 1841-1846. From 1856 the professorship of chemistry was filled for a number of years by Dr. Louis Steiner. On his departure from the city he was succeeded by Professor Alfred Mayer, who afterwards moved to New York, and he was in turn succeeded by a graduate of the College, Dr. Helsby, who remained a few years and then entered upon the practice of medicmc. The chair was then occupied by Dr. De-Rosset, a man of great ability and a popular lecturer. Upon his resignation in 187J, the Board of Trustees electetl the able and en- ergetic Professor William Simon, Ph.D., M.D., to fill the vacancy. Daniel Base. Ph.D.. became associated with Dr. Simon in 1895, and was elected Professor of Chemistry in 1902, which position he held until his resignation in 1920 to become associated with Hynson, Wescott and Dunning. The teaching of the basic courses in chemistry has been 10
