Many states, our own included, have rec-

site for registration as a pharmacist.

Indications are that this wise policy is soon to be followed

For those who believe that their financial conditions make a higher education impossible, it
can be stated that many of our most influential college trained men once thought the same to

THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
University of Florida

)HE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY, now located in the new Chemistry-Pharmacy Building,

was

established

as a School of Pharma

at the

University of Florida in

1923

and in

two years grew to such an extent that it

was

enlarged and recognized

as a College by

the University.

It is an associate

member of the American

Association

of Colleges of Pharmacy

full recognition for its cou

It offers courses based on the most modern ideas

of pharmaceutical

education.

This College

of Pharmacy

is unique in being one of the few colleges employing only men

with Ph. D.

agrees for class room instruction in the different

courses of Pharmacy and Pharmacognosy.

As stated

in the Bulletin,

the following

degrees

are offered

Graduate in Pharmacy,

Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Pharmacy.

The courses leading to these degrees

require respectively,

three, four and five years of satisfactory work.

Although students may

is well to have in mind some definite plans.

They are well trained to serve the public as competent dispensers and compounders
es. They are also much in demand by manufacturers of medicinal and pharmaceuti-

cal supplies.

In addition they are finding an ever increasing field

of a combined clinical laboratory and prescription department.

Some of the best pharmaceu-

tical houses are now refusing to hire any but college graduates as salesmen. The opportunities
already mentioned are naturally also open to the man spending more than three years at the

University.

In fact, they are intensified by the

additional and specialized training received in

the extra year or two.

This is especially true regarding men spe-

cialized to the extent necessary tol obtain a Master of Science degree.
Although the professions are becoming constantly more specialized, they demand first a
rounded education with specialization afterward. In its position as an integral part of the Uni-

versity of Florida, the College of Pharmacy enjoys all the advantages found

only at a great

institution, and is therefore in the proper position

to supply this

broad

education.

student publications are only a few |of the many opportunities offering the pharmacy student

valuable activities outside of his scholastic work.
