The exact combination i- important when a patient ' s recovery may be at slake. From behind sterile masks, pharmacy students study and compare the properties of various vaccines. The pharmacist ' s day, his college ca- reer, his life, arc represented by the balance, the mortar and pestle, count- less bottles, and books.

College of Pharmacy The College of Pharmacy forms a small, compact unit within the total array of Michigan. Within this unit the stu- dent lives and learns and grasps the basic concepts of his profession. He is a part of a closely knit group of students and yet is able to enjoy all the advantages offered by a large university. Within the school itself, several separate spheres can be found. For out of the whole, the student can isolate any- one of a number of curricula for his particular field of con- centration. He may specialize in retail pharmacy or hospital pharmacy; he may enter the business world and work as a manufacturing pharmacist; his interests may lead him to any one of a number of related fields. While the pharmacy student often elects classes in other departments, his studies center in the Chemistry and Phar- macy Building. He works with tiny bottles and test tubes filled with powdery chemicals or liquids of clear, solid colors. The intricacies of large, grey masses of equipment are re- vealed to him. He spends long, tedious hours pouring over complicated formulas. His hope is that man may someday conquer disease. Tom D. Rowe, MS, PhD; Professor of Phar- macy and Dean of the College of Pharmacy.

School of Social Work For the first time in twenty-three years on cam- pus, students in the School of Social Work have a home of their own. Last fall a four-story section of the newly remodeled Frieze Building was set aside for graduate studies in this field. But the Frieze Building is only the focus of the School of Social Work. From this point the lives of students radiate outward to the community. For the student spends only two or three days a week in classes. The rest of his time is used to gain actual, practical experience in outlying areas such as De- troit and neighboring communities. Recognizing that society as a whole is built of many fragments, the social worker assumes respon- sibility for their construction. Using the forces of the human personality, he attempts to shape these pieces and arrange them into an intelligent pattern. He must combine the artist ' s idealism with the craftsman ' s realism as he attempts to fit into place the complex elements of modern society. Training in social work is a year-round undertaking with such un- usual requirements as knowledge of the habits of hamsters and understanding of little boys. The paths he may choose to gain his goals are diffuse and branching. Some workers channel their efforts to the schools; some do casework concen- trating on family problems. Juvenile delinquency and the problems of slum life are the particular areas which others isolate from the total field for their concentration. The social worker ' s materials are society ' s mis- takes the empty dreams, endless quests, and broken hopes of millions. His goal is a firmer com- munity and a sounder society. His is a field where the demand for workers is always greater than the supply a profession where he will always be needed, and will always know the significance of his work. Fedele F. Fauri, LLB; Professor of Public Welfare Ad- ministration and Dean of the School of Social Work. 96
