I we 5300! of pdarmacy The Kansas City College of Phannacy merged with the University of Kansas City in 1943 and since has conducted training under the competent supervision of Dr. Theodore Dittrich, in the modern Biology and Chemistry building. The pharmacy laboratories are the pharmacist's dream for desirable places of training. Each Cl6Sli is equipped with 65 of the commonly used pre- scription chemicals, 125 liquid galcniCalS, individual poison lockers, and a reference library. The com- plete desks and the spotless cleanliness of the equipment lends an atmosphere of professionalism. Upon those who successfully complete eight semesters of intensive work, which require about two years, the School of Pharmacy now confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Under the well-balanced curricular program, the phar- maceutical student pursues such courses as modern language, mathematics, economics, business man- agement, and jurisprudence in order to prepare the student not only for work in his profession, but also assist him to take his proper place in his community.
