WYETH TRIP On the morning of February 6, 1964 the Fourth Year Class set off on a bus trip to view one of the most fascinating aspects of tlie pro- fession. Pharmaceutical Manufacturing. The sojourn entailed a day of tours through two of Wyeth ' s main manufacturing plants in Penn- sylvania. Dr. Nicolas Zenker, Class Advisor, along with several graduate students accom- panied the Class of 1963. A chartered bus left the Kelly Memorial Building at 7:30 a.m. on one of the most dreary and rainy days of the semester. Upon arrival, the students were cordially invited to have coffee and buns, while the Manager of the Radnor Plant eluci- dated the highlights of the tour which was to follow. The Radnor Plant is their main or central building and acts as a pilot or screen for distribution of products which the com- pany feels is worth while to he put into large scale production. Here, most of the research projects are carried out, literature is reviewed, and preliminary tests and assays are initiated. After a tour of the building, the company pro- vided private transportation to one of their mass production plants. Great Valley. We were invited to lunch, and escorted in small groups around the 13 acre establishment. Here, we witnessed the preparation, produc- tion, and inspection of tablets, capsules, solu- tions, and suppositories. A tablet coating operation, along with the vast assembly lines for filling, labeling and packaging of their products were also seen. The trip ended at 5:00 p.m., with an open invitation for all stu- dents to come and revisit their plants at any time. The most impressive aspect of the trip was the air of pride with which all employees spoke, while acting as guides on the tours. It was the consensus of opinion that the trip was an interesting experience and a necessary part of our pharmacy education. It made the students more fully aware of the panorama of opportunities in the pharmacy profession. 27
