Sl 1 1 rn 3- ll si- x 1 r s I s Q1 8 Q The College of Pharmacy, University of Nebraska, is closing up its eleventh year of active work. The organization of the school of Pharmacy was authorized by the Board of Regents in 1908, and was at that time made a part of the College of Medicine. In 1915 the School of Pharmacy was erected into a College of Pharmacy by legislative action. The growth of the institution has been very rapid. This has been made possible because of the high standing of the University of Nebraska among teach- ing institutions. The College of Pharmacy was a pioneer among the insti- tutions teaching Pharmacy in demanding the same requirements for en- rance as was required by all other Colleges of the University. This placed Nebraska in a unique position and her leadership has been followed by practically all state Universities west of the Appalachian Mountains. All institutions outside of State Universities require but two years high school work for entrance. Because of this the majority of students who enter Pharmacy get their training in privately owned schools. At the same time the condition brings the better class of students to the State Uni- versities. All is not the ideal of the administrative officers of the College of Pharmacy to bring to the University a great body of students and turn out on the public a great number of poorly trained, so-called professional men. The idea is to prepare a smaller group of men more thoroughly, so they will be able to undertake the problems of scientific and professional pharmacy. The work of a pharmacist requires the exactness required of few other professional men. The basement of the new Pharmacy building will be occupied by a fully equipped pharmaceutical manufacturing plant and a laboratory to be used for physiological standardization of drugs. The Hrst floor will be devoted exclusively to Pharmacy and the 'top floor to Pharmacognosy Pharmacology, Physiology and the executive offices. In the roomy attic of the building there will be built a plant for the curing and preserving of crude drug plants. This location is ideal because of the lack of moisture. With the celaring of the campus, the pharmaceutical garden will be increased in size and plans are being laid to develop it in such a way so that plants may be grown under any and all conditions, thus making it a great living drug plant laboratory. In doing this work, the University will not forget what is owes to retail pharmacy in the state and will constantly seek to prepare young men and women for the professional work in the retail store. The College of Pharmacy must broaden its fields of action and concern itself with all phases of Pharmaceutical endeavor whether scientific, professional or commercial. RUFUS A. LYMAN.
