State Legislature Formed KU School Of Pharmacy
The only school at the University which was established by an act of the state legislature, is the proud claim of the School of Pharmacy.
How did this come about? It all began when the registered pharmacists of the state of Kansas descended almost in a body upon the lawmakers in 1884 and demanded that a "Chair of Pharmacy" as it was then called, be established at K.U. The pharmacists were angry over the uniformly poor training which young men brought with them on their first pharmaceutical jobs.
The legislature passed the bill requiring that these demands be met. In the fall of 1885 a "Chair of Pharmacy" was set up with Prof. Lucius E. Sayre as dean and the only full-time instructor.
Dean Sayre and three students shared the old chemistry building which now houses the School of Journalism. A two-year course was offered and students did not have to be high school graduates to enroll.
A far cry from that small beginning is the School of Pharmacy of today. Dean J. Allen Reese heads the school which now has six full-time and six part-time instructors and 198 students.
Pharmacy, in the words of Dean Reese, "has changed vastly since 1930.
K. U. is the only school in the state which offers a degree in pharmacy. Its curriculum and requirements are vastly different from the "Chair of Pharmacy" set up in 1885. A high school diploma is required for admittance, and a B.S. degree is offered at the end of four years of study.
"Before that time the pharmacist was more or less of a cookbook worker. Now he practices an art based on science. This change came when specific drugs were developed to counteract specific diseases."
The University's pharmacists are also taking a hand in developing and testing new drugs. K.U.'s pharmacy research program is considered the most active of any school in the nation. At present there are three post-doctorate students and 12 candidates for the doctorate working on research.
Opportunities in the field of
pharmacy are unlimited," says Dean Beese.
Any student who graduates in good standing can get a job and generally pick the locality in which he or she wants to work. Average starting salaries are about $300 per month."
At any rate, Dean Reese says he anticipates no trouble in placing graduates for years to come.
