The School In the entire field of American pharmacy, throughout the decades of its existence, no one has presented the many-faceted talents that were present in one man— William Procter, Jr. Procter ' s prodigious works covered such a vast field that it is difficult to explain why posterity has not attached his name to some specific discovery. He pioneered with ether, he was one of the first to dis- cover the salicylates of natural origin. Indeed, he, like other such scientists, had pioneered in a hundred such ways. Procter ' s name will live forever, not for any single achievement, but because of the mastery that he gave to all his work. His works entitled for him a full right to the designation Father of American Pharmacy.
