FOUR YEARS ARE NEEDED 2-Year Pharmacy Course Inadequate—Outlines New Plan
L. D. Havenhill, Professor of Flor
maeuctural Chemistry.
One of the most prominent pharmacists and pharmaceutical educators, Dr. H. M. Whelpley, at the recent meeting at the American Pharmaceutical Association said: "Pharmacy as we find it calls for men and women of evenly balanced minds to think right".
Needless to say, the object of all higher education is to meet this demand, and as is well known, the School of Pharmacy of the University of Kansas was organized for the express purpose of securing for the druggists of the State the best to be had in pharmaceutical education.
The two-year course inaugurated at the start was early found inadequate for those who had ideals concerning the future of pharmacy. Arrangements were accordingly made to offer post graduate courses for the more professionally inclined students, before the school had been five years in operation. These special courses were increased in number from year to year to meet the ever growing demand for higher education. In 1890 it was found necessary to outline an entirely new course of study for the more ambitious students and to extend it over four years.
THE FOUR YEAR COURSE
This course, popularly known as the four-year course, is to the
**Bachelor of Science**
It is and always has been based upon the same entrance requirements as those which are demanded by the College and which recently were imposed upon the students enrolled in the shorter (two-year) course.
The increasing requirements for educational facilities to meet the demands of those who particularly wish to emphasize the professional side of pharmacy have been compiled with in this course. It is now, more than ever before, a course having a distinct cultural origin and a strong scholarship for its completion and offering in return a thorough grounding in the fundamental sciences upon which the principles of pharmacy are based.
The thorough preliminary preparation required, the increased time, and the broader training, give the necessary equipment for that type of research which has real worth in the advancement of scientific knowledge.
LIBERAL OPTIONS OFFERED
The liberal options offered allow the student exceptional opportunities for specialization in those sciences and knowledge of drug materials is necessary.
The four-year course opens the way along which the student may advance into the various fields of scientific activity such as is occupied by bacteriologists, physiologists, pharmacologists, biological chemists, food analysts, drug analysts, manufacturing chemists, etc.
Twenty-one thousand families have been represented in the student body since the founding of the University of Kansas.
The mental equipment obtained from such r. course, even if one does not care to enter these fields, will broaden one's field of activity as a pharmacist, will so equip him that he may with facility engage in one or more sidelines of a strictly professional character which necessarily will for him greater respect from the media than from the time of the honored profession of pharmacy, the esteem in the future that it has for centuries enjoyed in the past—a worthy ideal in this age of commercialism.
In the University of Kansas 63.3 per cent of the students are church members, and 89 per cent have religious decremes and are church attendants.
The University has two thousand eight hundred and seventy-three sons and daughters of the state enrolled this year, the student body itself, both in organization, learning a striking resemblance to a Kansas city of 2,900.
The University of Kansas was located at Lawrence 50 years ago.

ONE. THREE. FIVE
That is the Number of Teachers in the K. U. Pharmacy
School
The faculty of the School of Pharmacy makes a formigable list of twenty-nine names, eight of whom constitute the governing body. Five professors give their undivided attention to pharmaceutical subjects.
The five are Dean E. L. Sayre, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, Ass't Prof. Charles M. Sterling, Prof. C. F. Nelson and Prof. Robert H. Wilson. The men who spend part of their time with classes composed of pharmacists are Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, Prof. Samuel A Mathews, Prof. Frank B. Mathews, Assistant Prof. George W. Stratton.
Dean Lucius Sayre, beloved of pharmacists at K. U. for a quarter of a century, left his drug store in New York to head the infant school, 1885 and head the infant school. Every pharmic knows about that drug store, for although it has grown by one of the longest stores in the Dean's heart it still was a warm place in the Dean's heart.
Dean Sayre is a professor of pharmacy and materia medica and holds the degrees Ph. G., B. S, Ph.M. Then, too, he has so many students that he may not mention a few: Member of the Revision Committee of the United States Pharmacopoeia (ever since 1892), Second Vice-President of the American Pharmaceutical Association, President of the State Board of Health, and Member of the Botany Staff of the State Board of Agriculture. The Dean always has a hobby, that is, some experiments which are aimed at studying the processes these hobbies have been loco weed, reselium, corn oil, and coffee.
Prof. L. D. Havenhill has the distinction of teaching the most "Bunkable" course in the entire School of Pharmacy. And the course is also organic chemistry which emmits acuity in arithmetic which bats about .666 in the flunkers' league. Prof. Havenhill and others who know, insist that the course is not very hard, but that it is impossible to get the students to realize that it does require some work Mr. Havenhill is a Bachelor of Science degree from K. U. in 1903. He has taught here since 1899.
George N. Watson, who has charge of the drug laboratory was a wanderer while in school. He received his bachelor's degree at Michigan, his master's degree at K. U. and his doctor's degree at Princeton. He has taught in the School of Pharmacy since 1910.
Charles M. Sterling is a K. U.
man who has taught on the Hill
since 1901. He is assistant professor
of pharmacognosy, which translated
into English that he teaches the botanical department of the pharmacy curriculum.
C. F. Nelson, professor of physiological chemistry obtained his Ph. D. degree from the University of Wiscon and beside having the wide reputation as a biological chemist is a well trained pharmacist as well.

It Builds up Trade, Establishes Credit, Saves, Time, Suggests Cleanliness
ARRANGE DRUG STORE
Are you getting the best results possible from your drug store with the stock you have on hand? If you are not, then look to its arrangement. According to Dean L. E. Sayre the arrangement of the stock and fixtures of a drug store is one of the greatest factors in the success and popularity of the store. There are four reasons for the need to arrange First, it saves time; second, it suggests cleanliness; third, it establishes credit; and lastly, it builds up trade.
Since all stock cannot be on display, prominent places should be reserved for goods that appeal to the eye of the customer, and an artistic and novel arrangement will add attractiveness. For goods that are affected by the seasons, prominent places should be given during their peak season. At all times as much stock as possible should be in sight for the sake of the impression produced by an ample display of merchandise.
Fixtures should be chosen with the greatest care. If the store is lighted, the fixtures may be dark, but if the store is so situated as to be naturally dark, light colored fixtures should be used. Lighting fixtures should be well lit in a well stocked store is an advertisement. Over each show case a light ought to be placed, so as to show off the contents of the case to the best advantage. If each light has its own cord the light may be turned off and on automatically when the case is arranged. A systematic arrangement of drugs in the wall cases should be made so that there will be no waste of time in getting them. Patent medicines should be placed in a physiological order according to their use. The bottles should be of sight in the room. And most toil all,廉洁 and order should prevail. The purpose of the model druggitter should be not only to comply with the cleanliness and neatness demanded by humanity, but the neatness practised by an orderly company by the many practices are carried out, the drug store will automatically become successful.
Many resources of Kansas have been developed as a result of the geological survey of the coal, lead, zinc, oil, gas, building stone and clays of the state conducted by the University.

IT IS THE TRICENNIAL
Pharmacy School Was Established in 1885 by L. E. Sayre, Present Dean
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the School of Pharmacy established in 1885, due to the organized efforts of a body of men who represented the Kansas Pharmaceutical Association.

in that year the Board of Regents, during the administration of Chancellor Lippincott, were instructed to select a proper person to act as Dean of the school and one who should be responsible for the outlining, directing, and controlling of the courses of instruction in connection with the departments of materia medica, pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry and the other sciences of science. He was the curriculum of Pharmacy. L. E. Sayre, who had been connected with the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy, was chosen for this position and took up the work in the fall of 1885.
During the first year the classes were held in the old Chemistry building, which is now occupied by the Department of Physiology and the University Daily Kansan. Lab services are co-joined with the Chemistry department. The rapid growth of the school, however, necessitated larger quarters, and the basement of the building was soon used to make room for more classrooms. The Pharmacy school remained the center of instruction until 1900 appropriations were made for the present Chemistry and Pharmacy building.
The growth of the Pharmacy school, during the last thirty years is to a great extent the enthusiasm of Dean Sayre. The school is now ranked among the first in the United States. Dean Sayre has a habit of mixing with all the students in the department, and is known to them as "Daddy" Sayre.
The influence of the school has been felt over the state. Pharmacy has been raised to a professional standard, trained pharmaceutical chemists have been furnished for more technical work, and the school is no longer enclave in pharmacy but has all analytical work on drugs, spices, and food accessories is done under the execution of the Food and Drug Act.
More room for expansion is now needed to insure a mere complete system, capable of carrying on extended investigations.
