No other department at the University of Toledo is better represented locally than is the College of Pharmacy, where embryo druggists of today are trained to become tomorrow's experts. In the first year of the college, under the guidance of its director, Dr. George F. Baker, the department made great progress. Founded on really strong bases, for the pharmacy division of the University is one of its oldest departments as a class, this new college is rapidly attract- ing students from outside Toledo to the classes here. It was on january 10, 1938, that the new college was separated from the Arts and Sciences division. From that time on, the cur- riculum was arranged so as to provide ' the student with preparation for work as a druggist, a pharmaceutical chem- ist, and, of course, for graduate work in the field of pharmacy. Since many of the students in this college are already working, the facul- ty has arranged the classes so that those employed may attend classes but still hold onto their jobs. Thus both prac- 22 tical and scholarly experience are made available to the student. Nineteen are included on the faculty of the College of Pharmacy. Not only does the faculty offer courses in pharmacy work itself, but in its correlated fields, such as accounting, business, and economics. One never realizes the courses offered in this college until the curriculum is viewed. Such subjects as ethics of pharmacy, pharmaceutical arithmetic and Latin, and phar- macy jurisprudence, are among the many courses offered which differ from common public opinion. Social life in this college is led by Kappa Psi fra- ternity, an international honorary in the pharmacy field. Thus a great advance has been made by the Univer- sity in this college since 1904 when the Division of Phar- macy was first introduced as an integral part of the Uni- versity's work. Since then the additions made in 1927. and 1933. have been supplemented yearly until the present college stands to become one of the most popular in years to come.

NYA assistants aid in the distributing of the books throughout the day, and WPA helpers assist in the intri- cate work on the stacks themselves. The library is more than a mere repository for books. It really is one of the most vital parts of the University. Although the silence law is fairly well observed. many things have been planned by campus groups while they were in the library. just as one notices the same people in certain parts of the school every day without fail, so does one find the same people taking the same places in the library every day. The library is human. In this age of dash and glim- mer, the quiet of the library is a pleasing respite to the student, whether day or evening session, when he leaves the classroom and is beguiled by the near sanctity of the place. lt is no wonder, then. that the students first feel it when some part of the library's facilities are curtailed, More inspiration for A grades has come from the library than from any other source at the University. More than 6lJ,1l01J volumes are owned by the library. Approximately the same number of unbound pamphlets and leaflets are contained in its shelves. This is a small amount in comparison to the collections of the old- er Universities, but certainly it will serve as a wonderful nucleus to the University of Toledo library of the future. It seems well to visualize the library of the future on this campus. If such a small reading room as the one at present can attract the students day after day, certainly a larger building devoted entirely to library and reading room purposes will certainly be the center of campus scholastic activity. With progress at the University certainly inevitable, it seems logical that the most needed element on the whole campus is a larger library, so it is on this project that the library-interested groups are working. Meanwhile, until such a welcome addition comes, the present reading room serves as the best place for the scholars to get their material. Besides serving University students, the library opens its doors to citizens of Toledo in search of higher educa- tion. 21

Blancliard, Bowman, The one school where a diversified number of sub- jects is offered is in the college of Arts and Sciences, Like any other liberal arts college, the courses offered at the University tend to let the student choose his own curricula, with but a few required subjects given the first two years. Facilities in the Arts and Sciences college are made for pre-dental, pre-medical, and pre-law work. The faculty of the Arts and Sciences college is well grounded to teach all of the background subjects required of these profes- sional courses. In cooperation with the Toledo Museum of Art, sev- eral courses in art are offered which may be applied to- ward a major or minor. Professional courses in the oth- er colleges of the University may be taken toward an arts degree. Several additions to the faculty of the college were added in the past year including john Pollard, Edward Potter, Kellog Hunt and Ralph Bowersox. The increased enrollment in the student body necessitated the adding of additional instructors. Dr. Robert N. Whiteford, professor of English literaa Dean Tom nsend ture. resigned from the faculty at the beginning of the 1938-39 year. Stan- ley T. Donner, instructor in English. left after serving on the faculty for one year. Brenton W. Stevenson, assistant professor of English, is one of the busiest men in the department, He not only has regular classes in English, but is also the director of the Evening Sessions, director of the Opportunity School, editor of the University Bulletin, and head of the News Bureau. Graduation in the college of Arts and Sciences may be completed when 124 hours of work have been taken. Although the hour requirements are less for this college than any of the others at the Universtiy, the courses offer a wide selection for specialization in various fields. The Arts and Science college is truly the heart of the University, because the students enrolled spend four years of their lives in attempting to gain the knowledge that will open many sources of future fine living. The cultural courses prove invaluable in later life. 23
