28 1935 YACKETY YACK F A C U L T ky y ex-Qvi? THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The beginning of medical instruction at the University of North Carolina dates back to 1879, when Dr. Thomas W. Harris conducted here a medical class under the preceptoral method of in- struction with the assistance of certain University departments. This school was discontinued in 1886. In 1890 the present School of Medicine was founded under the direction of Dr. Richard H. Whitehead, and in 1900 became incorporated into the University as a fully organized two-year medical school. Since that date the School has had an uninter- rupted record of service to the state, has con- tinued to grow in influence throughout the state and nation, and has won for itself a record among medical educators for the excellence and thor- oughness of its work. In 1898 it was admitted to memliership into the Association of American Aledical Colleges, and is ranked in the class A group of American .Medi- cal Schools. Over 600 of the 2,300 practicing physicians in Xorth Carolina today are alumni of the Institution, and they include and have in- cluded man) ' of the most prominent and influen- tial physicians in North Cai-olina.

THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS The College of Liberal Arts at the University of North Carolina occupies a position analogous to that of similar colleges in other American in- stitutions — it is the original unit from which the other schools have sprung. The University of North Carolina is the oldest state university in America. When the doors of the University were opened in 1795, it was as a college of Liberal Arts that it began to function. For many years prior to our recent enthusiasm for specialization. Colleges of Liberal Arts were the only form of higher education, but the increased demand for specially trained men has caused a widening and a division of the College of Liberal Arts. Briefly stated, its purpose is to develop the mind of the student and insure his intelligent action in later life. A full utilization of the opportunities af- forded by the college should make of the student a finer individual and a more thoughtful citizen.

FACULTY 1935 YACKETY YACK 29 Yoy o l THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY Courses in Pharmacy were given at the Uni- versity from 1880 to 1897 under the administra- tion of the School of Medicine. In 1897. the present School of Pharmacy was established, and Edward Vernon Howell was elected Professor of Pharmacy, and given charge of the school. In 1927 the school was admitted to membership in the American Association of Colleges of Phar- macy, an organization founded for the promotion of pharmaceutical education. In order to com- ply with the Association ' s requirements the course of study leading to the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy had been advanced in 1925 from two to three years, and in September, 1932, the three years course was replaced by a baccalaure- ate course. The present curriculum is so ar- ranged that elective specialization begins in the junior year so as to allow graduates to enter any one of three different types of pharmaceutical service.
