Department of Pharmacy JULIUS OTTO SCHLOTTERBECK, Ph.C., Ph.D., Dean 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 on 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 depart- ment. In 1880 the Chemistry laboratory was completed, and this was used as the home of the department up to 1910. With the completion of the new Chemistry and Pharmacy building 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 Starns and Co 1 ., Detroit, offer a fellowship of $350 a year, which has been maintained since 1895. Appointment is made by the Board of regents upon recommendation of the Faculty. [22]

SOULE HOFF, D.D.S., Acting Dean The first agitation for the creation of this department 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 professorships were created and first filled by Jonathan Taft and J. A. Watling. The department had its early existence under the general super- vision of the Medical Department. The course consisted of two years ' work, the terms being only six months long, October to March, 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. The degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery has always been given. The first accommodations were in the Homoeopathic building, and in 1891, at the completion of the new University Hospital, the Dental Department occupied the old Hospital building. At this same time the Dental Society of the University of Michigan was organized, 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 Pro- fessor Ford and of Dr. William Mitchell of London, England. The museum has been named the Ford-Mitchell museum. [21]

HINSDAI.E, M.S., A.M., M.D., Dean 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 Homeopathy. In April 1875 the Legislature made an appropriation of $6,000 a year for the organization and main- tenance of a school of Homeopathy 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 concerning 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 Homeopathic 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 Pathogenetic Laboratory which is especially 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 whic ' time a certificate of graduation is given. [23]
