ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1921-22

The demand for properly qualified pharmacists was never so great as it is today. Not only are salaries higher than ever before for those employed as clerks, but there are more opportunities for advancement. The demand, however, is for good men, those having business capacity, industry, integrity, and a good pharmaceutical education. There is no likelihood that there will be any material change in this respect, unless it be to intensify the present demand for the kind of pharmacists now most needed. Employers are looking for men who have a college education, and the supply is not equal to the demand. Furthermore, the national and state pure food and drug laws call for such constant care in the making of pharmaceuticals, such vigilance in the examination and testing of drugs and chemicals, that no drug store can be considered properly equipped that has not in it at least one person who is capable of applying the tests of the Pharmacopoeia. And these laws have come to stay. They may be probably will be modified, but they will never be repealed, because the people demand them. Pharmacists must adjust themselves to public sentiment, and the public expects pure drugs and medicines and competent persons to manufacture and dispense them.

There is a distinct advantage in studying pharmacy in a large city where the student can gain wide experience. The necessary knowledge of the sciences on which the art of pharmacy is based, and the technical skill required to practice that are, are best acquired-most economically learned-in a college of pharmacy. The time has gone by when any considerable amount of teaching is done in the drug store. Little, if any, didactic instruction is presented to the junior clerk, and not much technique is acquired. The demands of trade and the somewhat factorylike method of doing the technical work of the laboratory and prescription counter are alike ill adapted to the purpose of imparting instruction. In many drug stores but little manufacturing is done. In still more, practically no drug testing or assaying is thought of, and even where this is done, the facilities for doing it are usually limited, and the work is done by the proprietor or his chief clerk, no pains being taken to teach the juniors how to do it. Clerks are hired to do certain work whereby they can add to their employer's revenue, and they are paid in money, not in teaching. Usually the employer considers what he can get from an employee, not what he can give to him, either by verbal instruction, manual training, or ethical culture.

And so, while there is more need than ever for scientific knowledge and technical skill on the part of the pharmacist, he has less opportunity

for obtaining these in the daily routine of pharmacy. The college is more than ever a necessity. Without its aid it is impossible for a young man to fit himself in a reasonable time to meet the demands made upon him.

When the California College of Pharmacy was established in 1872 it was not so much needed as it is now, because public sentiment did not demand so high a degree of qualification as is now expected. Now it is a necessity that a pharmacist have a scientific pharmaceutical education, such as he cannot obtain by working in a drug store without college instruction.

It is this kind of instruction that the California College of Pharmacy is prepared to give. For a third of a century it has been doing its work, earnestly and honestly trying to help young people to become pharmacists in the true sense of that term. Affiliated with the University of California, its internal management and nearly all its teaching have been conducted by practical and experienced pharmacists of progressive tendencies. For years it has contended for better educated and better trained pharmacists, and it has no thought of giving up this contention. And inasmuch as the feeling in favor of demanding a college diploma of every applicant for examination by the state boards is growing so rapidly that several states have enacted laws imposing this condition, it is incumbent upon all students of pharmacy to observe the signs of the times and govern themselves accordingly.

The College premises are admirably adapted to the purpose for which they were planned. The building is situated near Golden Gate Park, is spacious, conveniently arranged and well lighted. It consists of three floors, two 50 by 150 feet, and one 50 by 100 feet, entirely devoted to pharmacy, also a basement, 50 by 150 feet, for recreation. It comprises two general lecture halls, each capable of seating one hundred and fifty students; five laboratories-the Chemical, the Pharmaceutical, and the Pharmacognostical, Chemical Research, and the Bacteriological; also review class rooms, museum, library, besides offices, women's room, cloak rooms and store rooms.

The subjects taught are chemistry, pharmacy, botany, materia medica, pharmacognosy, physiology, toxicology, and bacteriology. The teaching includes the technique of the microscope, spectroscope, and other instruments of precision, as well as the manipulations involved in chemical and analytical work, and in operative pharmacy. Courses of lectures are also given in pharmacal jurisprudence, first aid, and military hygiene.

Courses of Instruction and Degrees.—(a) The completion of the twoyears' course in pharmacy, based upon the foundation of satisfactory completion of two years of high school work or its equivalent, leads to the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.). The hours of instruction
