Pharmacy 'father' researches and runs
By a Kansan Staff Reporter The "father of physical pharmacy" runs four miles a day.
While developing a research program in physical pharmacy and initiating a new doctoral program in that area, Takeru Higuchi still runs every day.
KU's second Regents' Professor,
Higuchi is often called the "father of physical pharmacy" for his development of the discipline. In layman's terms, physical pharmacy involves getting the drug to the infected area of the body as quickly and safely as possible.
Higuchi will spend most of his time at KU in the $160,000 labora-

A report of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education shows that one-seventh of the new teachers produced in Kansas during 1966 were graduated from KU.
KU also awarded 14 per cent of the graduate degrees in education in 1966, and conferred all 23 Doctor of Education degrees given in the state.
LONDON — (UPI) — If you're running for local election in London don't try the campaign slogan, "two cars in every garage." That is the advice of Mrs. Jane Phillips, chairman of the city's Highways and Traffic Committee.

total of $125.000 in grants given to Higuchi by the National Institute of Health, the U.S. Department of the Army and various drug companies. The benefits of this money will be realized not only in research findings which will help the public, but also in the experience which his graduate students will gain. He often repeats the phrase, "My primary function is as a teacher."
Already Higuchi has helped 100 students earn their doctorate degrees which led them to continued research or positions with the top drug companies in the nation.
Comes from Wisconsin

The Regents Professorship awarded Higuchi after 20 years at the University of Wisconsin, was set up by the legislature in 1963. It is the highest teaching position in the state, and carries a supplemental salary from special funds available to the State Board of Regents.
