Back in 1962 fifty-tour young peopk ' lilt tlKit thoy wished to become phannacists strounly enough to enroll themselves at the University of Maryland at College Park in the prc-phar- macy curriculum. Many others entered similar institutions of higher learning in anticipation of achieving the same goal, and would even- tually join the original fiftj-four. However, thanks to two years of College Park Life, two semesters of physics, and one semester of (juantitative analysis we lost more than we gained when we arrived at the Concrete Campus in September of 1964 with thirty-six students. Those of us who have survived the three years (or more) at Lombard and Greene carry memories that will last a life- time. ( Would you believe a couple of months? ) We will not only remember the trials and fmstrations of our educational endeavors, but also the beauty and serenity of what has to be one of the loveliest sections of the state. Our first year of professional study was filled with many interesting (and some not-so-inter- esti ng) revelations. For example, in Mathe- matics of the Pharmaceutical Sciences which was taught by Dr. Benjamin Allen, we learned of the tremendous difficulty and confusion that can arise in phannaceutical calculations. We also learned how to calculus overdoses from Dr. James Leslie. Dr. Francis Miller ' s Organic Chemistry course revived our almost dissi- pated belief that lectures could be well organ- ized and stimulating at the same time; how- ever, the laboratory accompanying this course was something else. Dr. Peter Lamy, our professor for Processes and Dosage Forms, who hails from some insignificant school in colonial Pennsylvania (I have forgotten its name), kept everyone on the edge of his seat with lectures of the twenty-questions variety. The laboratory por- tion of the course was under the excellent guidance of Mr. Lawrence Block who, aside from having us label everything but our under- wear, and in addition to being undisputed master of the pun, was one of the most pro- ficient emulsion-makers in the history of the profession, a fact which produced our first doubts regarding the Cooper mortar. Dr. Adele Ballman ' s first semester course, Professional Communications, introduced to us the art of oral reports and panel discussions as will as covering term papers and spelling bee ' s. Anatomy was ver) ' capabK- handled by Dr. Walter Fredericks who made the supreme effort to teach us anatomy despite his bio- chemical background. His two very efficient assistants, Mrs. Marjorie Goldberg and Mr. Richard Wynn, who reigned in the laboratory, helped convince the class that the University of Maryland doen have a veterinary division. When the first semester came to a close our number was decreased to thirty-five with a few additional students beginning to doubt that they really wanted to be pharmacists. The second semester contained more of the same from Dr. Lamy and Dr. Miller; however. Dr. Ballman changed hats and taught the History of Pharmacy from Sir Francis Bacon to O. Henry or, maybe, the other way around. In either case, in spite of her efforts, we managed to learn a little about pharmacy ' s great history through outside reading and more oral reports.
