Graduate from School of Pharmacy, U. of M., 18S7. Asst. in Pharmacy, 1888. In 1891 given the degree of B. S. in Chemistry. Instructor in Pharmacognosy and Botany, ' 92- ' 95.

Member of .American and Michigan Pharmaceutical Associations, American Association for Ad- vanced Science and American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties. The school was organized and made independent of any other department in the year 1876-7. Before that time a course in Pharmacy had been given in the Chemistry building under the general supervision of the chemical faculty. The requirements demanded for admission were in general a full and complete High School education. At the present time they vary, depending whether the student is a candidate for the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist, which is a two-year course, or whether he is candidate for the B.S. of Pharmacy, in which case the requisites are practically those for the B.S. degree in any other department. In 1880 the laboratory of General Chemistry was completed, and this was used as the home of the department up to the present year. With the completion of the new laboratory the school has moved into new and commodious quarters with splendid facilities for special work. Practical work is obtained from the botanical gardens, where the principal plants for medicinal use are grown and studied. Frederick Sterns and Co., Detroit, offer a fellowship of $350 a year, which has been main- tained since 1895. Appointment is made by the Board of regents upon recommendation of the Faculty. [24]

1911 MICHI G ANENSIAN DENTISTRY XKLVILLE SOULE HOFF, D.D.S., Acting Dean Born, Elizabeth, W. Va., July 20, 1854. Prepared at Pomeroy High School. Graduated at Ohio College of Dental Surgery in 1876. In 1888 came to University of Michigan as Asst. Professor of Practical Dentistry. Full Professor in 1891. Secretary of Dental Faculty preceding Deanship. Member of Ohio Dental Association, National Dental Society, American Society of Orthodon- tists, Michigan Dental Association. Editor of Dental Record. The first agitation for the creation of this depart- ment came in 1865, and in 1875 the Legislature appropriated $3000 per year, for a term of two years, with which to establish a school of dentistry at Ann Arbor, and in May of that year the regents took steps to provide for the department. Two pro- fessorships were created and first filled by Jonathan Taft and J. A. Watling. The department had its early existence under the general supervision of the Medical Department. The course consisted of two years ' work, the terms being only six months long, March to October, but in the fall of ' 84 the terms were lengthened to nine months. In 1889 the course was finally made to consist of three years of nine months each, and the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery was given. The first accommodations were in the Homoeopathic building, and in 1891, at the completion of the new University Hospital, they occupied the old Hospital building. At this same time the Dental Society of the University of Michigan was organi ed, and assumed charge of the publishing of the Dental Journal. The new Dental building recently finished is undoubtedly the best equipped and most complete Dental building in the world, especially in Technics, Laboratories and Dental Operating Rooms. The Taft library is sheltered here and contains almost every work in Dentistry and practically complete files of every Dental journal published. The Dental museum is also included within the building, and the odontological collection is especially strong probably the largest and best of its kind to be found in any Dental college. It contains the collections of the late Professor Ford and of Drs. Williams and Louis Mitchell of London, England. The museum lias been named the Ford- Mitchell museum. [23]

1911 MICHI G ANENSIAN WILBERT B. HINSUALE, M.S., A.M., M.D., Dean Born Wadsworth, Ohio, May 25. 1851. Graduated with 1J. S. from Hiram College in 1875. Studied medicine at Cleveland. Doctor of Medicine at Homeopathic Hospital Col- lege of Cleveland in 1889. In 1890 was raised to full Professorship. In 1895 called to University of Michigan as Dean of the Department and Director of the Homeo- pathic Hospital. Member of American Association for Advancement of Science, American Anthropological Society, Historical and Archaelogical Society of Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin, Ornithological So- cieties and Michigan Academy of Science. Trustee of Hiram College. Conferred degree of Master of Arts in 1900. The first petition for this department came to the Legislature in 1851, and in 1855 they required that the University should support a professorship of Homoeopathy. In April, 1875, the Legislature made an appropriation of $6,000 a year for the organiza- tion and maintenance of a school of Homoeopathy at the University. This the regents organized the following fall, starting it with two professors, and provided that it should conform to the rules of the University proper. The attendance fluctuated greatly, starting in 1876 with 24. From that time till 1895 there was more or less dissatisfaction expressed con- cerning the school. In the summer of 1895 it was completely reorganized, with a new faculty, since which time it has enjoyed a prosperous existence. It now has very commodious quarters, and the new Homoeopathic hospital in the immediate vicinity of the campus is especially well equipped and one of the finest structures connected with the University. A special feature of this department is the Patho- genetic Laboratory, which is especically well adapted for experimental work. In connection with the hospital there are two nurses ' homes under the charge of an experienced principal. The term of study extends through three years, at the end of which time a certificate of graduation is given. [25]
