THE pharmacist today occupies a very important position in his community. In light of the great advances made in medicine and other sciences, sight is often lost of the significance of the pharmacist in refer- ence to the welfare of the general public. The pharma- cist is the point of contact between the latest discoveries in the medical field and the community at large. He is not simply an impersonal dispenser of prepared drugs, but an individual Whose duties demand a thorough and extensive education. His education, therefore, becomes a matter of utmost concern not only to the individual but to the whole community. The graduates of the College of Pharmacy this year are in the first class to receive their Bachelor of Science degrees under the four year Curriculum. During the thirty-seven years prior to 1930, the curriculum of the pharmacist has undergone considerable expansion. In 1893 the only requirement was fifty weeks of speciali- zation, but with the many contributions of research to the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences, it was found necessary to organize two and three year courses. In time, even these curricula became inade- quate and the present four year requirement was intro- duced. It is significant to note that during the past four years, the study of pharmacy has broadened, not only in its professional scope, but also in its cultural as- pects. Courses designed primarily for their cultural value include two years of a foreign language and public speaking. The purpose of the College of Pharmacy is, then. three-fold: to give sound instruction in the fundamental sciences with which a pharmacist has to deal; to offer thorough training along the prac- tical lines of the profession; and to impart as broad a cultural background of general knowledge as is possible in the prescribed time. Aside from the purely professional aspects of a curriculum, the student is necessarily influenced and motivated by the personalities of his instructors. In the College of Phar- macy all pharmacists have the opportunity of associating with Dean Frederick Lofgren. Dr. Lofgren is truly a scholar: a professor who not only assiduously keeps in contact with the many new developments in the science of drug preparation, but always finds the stu- dents problems and ideas equally challenging and fascinating. Dr. Lofgren received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, and has been engaged in advanced research work at the University of Chicago during the past few summers. Dr. Lofgren took up his present position as dean of the Valparaiso College of Pharmacy in 1929. The officers of the College of Pharmacy for the current year are: president, William Swoboda; vice-president, Donald Lightcap, and secretary, Erwin Newkirk. Henry Ciecierski succeeded Arthur Werre as treasurer the second semester. William Swoboda Erwin N ewkirle Donald Ligbtcap COLLEGE OF PHARMACY F. V.

l l l SCHOOL OF LAW J. W. MORLAND, Dean THE Law School, situated in the Arts-Law building, to which place it was moved in 1926, was fully approved by the American Bar Association in 1929, and elected a member of the Association of American Law Schools in the following year. Its degree is approved by the Board of Regents of the New York State University. A newly com- pleted library, so generously supported by the Walther League, consists of over ten thousand volumes. In 1879 the Honorable Mark L. De Motte organized the school on this campus and remained as its head for over thirty years, during which time many of its graduates served in state and national positions as successful lawyers. Colonel De Motte, , who retired in 1908 because of ill health, was replaced by Milo J. Bowman, who served as l dean for a period of over twenty years. i The present dean, J. W. Morland, received his J.D. from the University of Chicago, having previously obtained his AB. and LLB. from Indiana University. Under his cap- able leadership, the Law School has risen to the high position it now commands. Dean Morland,s geniality and scholarly attitude justify the esteem in which he is held. l l i i To familiarize its students with the principles and rules that have been established I l i l through common laW and legislative and constitutional enactments is the ultimate aim of the Law School. Outstanding local peculiarities of the 10591719 Kowalslei law as they exist in various states throughout the Union Gilbert He r 2b? 78 and in federal jurisdiction are by no means excluded from james Clements instruction. A student lawyer does not solely receive information and a thorough mental training, but a sane and practical balance between theory and practice. In such a study, legislative enactment and social influences are not neglected. He is acquainted with the ideals and traditions peculiar to his chosen profession; he is disci- plined in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis; and he is trained in the operative functions, supplemented by much practical information. Instruction and practice in drawing legal papers and pleading cases is provided through a trial practice court, wherein the student must take all steps required in the trial of a case. i i i l 1 l l ; 1 HI!

This year twenty-two students of the Valparaiso Law School became associate members of the Indiana State Bar Association by a resolution passed at a mid- winter meeting of the association at Indianapolis. There has also been organized within the law school, under the supervision of Dean Morland, a lawyers, club, with a definite purpose to participate actively in extra-curricu- lat activities and arrange for prominent speakers to appear before the club. Those who held oflices in the School of Law for this year were: Joseph Kowalski, president; Gil- bert Herzberg, Vice-president, and James Clements, sec- retary.

Kromcke Kumnitle Scburman Saeger Natla Swoboda Christopher Srburman T h 71TH the opening of the school year 1933-34, the Student Council and Executive Board ventured out on their fifth year in the guidance and control of student activities on the campus. There were truly many problems which faced the new Board, but with President Christopher at the helm, committee appointments were made at once and the machinery for student self-govern- ment was set in motion without delay. For the first time since its organization the Student Council was allowed to assess and collect its own activi- ties fee. This meant the collection of $12.00 from each regular student, and the problem of distribution of these funds at once loomed high. Here, however, the Budget committee fell into action, and, with the approval of the Executive Board, proceeded to subsidize several cam- pus groups that are recognized by the council as official subsidiaries. Thus, debate, oratory, dramatics, band, orchestra, the Torch, and the Record all laid claims against the total fund; appropriations were made for, each group and for the Student Lyceum program. The Student Lyceum program has been entrusted to the Lecture and Entertainment committee, who with the approval of the Executive Board, have the immense task of arranging and providing a program for the en- tire year. The program was triumphantly heralded in by the first presentation of Madame Slaviansky and her Russian chorus. A whole evening of entertainment was provided to a large and appreciative audience, and a Glamour immediately arose from the student body for more of this type of entertainment. A series of faculty recitals was presented next, in which our own faculty artists, Mr. and Mrs. Schweppe, Mr. Gaylord Browne, and Mr. Stacey Green, provided equally splendid evenings of entertainment. A joint concert by the University Sym- phony Band and Orchestra displayed local talent to flne advantage once more. The University Players and the Hoosier Players, a local group, opened their seasons, assur- ing the university family of nine dramatic perform- ances worthy of recognition. Then national fame stepped on to our campus and we were pleased to hear the Carleton College Symphony Band in one of the outstanding pro- grams of the year. Those minds that are credited with the formulation of this student organization foresaw from the beginning that the intricate organization of the Student Council would require special attention with regard to the finan- cial program, and for that reason a Budget Committee was established. 28
