FELLOWSHIPS AND THE COLLEGE OF 



PHARMACY OF THE CITY OF 



NEW YORK. 



The readers of The Alumni Journal. 

 have been repeatedly informed of the 

 progress and evolution in pharmaceutical 

 education. The October issue of The 

 Alumni Journal may be said to contain 

 the salient features upon which import- 

 ant decisions for pharmaceutical progress 



depend There can be hardly a question 

 but that few of the institutions teaching 

 pharmacy are fairly and squarely meet- 

 ing the points at issue and are building 

 their structures in consonance with the 

 demands of the times. Neither length- 

 ening the curriculum merely nor the ad- 

 dition of Post Graduate courses will re- 

 move the element that is like a parasite 

 infesting the drug business to day, and 

 without any professional honor obtain- 

 ing the very life and sustenance of the 

 men educated in our schools of pharmacy. 

 The evils perpetrated by some members 

 of Boards of Pharmacy giving certificates 

 for nostrums and also some manufactur- 

 ers connected with colleges of pharmacy 

 frequently resorting to all kinds of shame- 

 ful practices in order to make money for 

 themselves are well known to the read- 

 ers of The Alumni Journal. There is 

 a condition in pharmacy to-day as, if not 

 more odious possibly, than was the Tam- 

 many in politics. And we are in need of 

 as great a reorganization in pharmacy as 

 was instituted a few months ago in 

 politics. 



We again call attention to one of the 

 most interesting phases of pharmaceuti- 

 cal education, as manifested in our West- 

 ern colleges affiliated with the State 

 Universities in providing Pharmaceutical 

 Fellowships. In the November issue of 

 The Alumni Journal we called atten- 

 tion to the Pharmaceutical Fellowship 

 for three years endorsed by the School of 

 Pharmacy of the University of Wiscon- 

 sin. We now learn that the School of 

 Pharmacy of the University of Michigan, 

 Ann Arbor, has received a gift of a 

 ''Fellowship of Pharmaceutical Chem- 

 istry and Pharmacology," entitling some 

 worthy student to devote two years to 

 original research. It seems so strange 

 that the idea which was oiiginated here 

 in the East and so strongly supported 

 in the East should mature only in the
