THE  PHILADELPHIA  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY  A 
TRAINING  SCHOOL  FOR  U.  S.  NAVAL 
HOSPITAL  CORPS. 
American  Journal  of  Pharmacy, 
145  North  Tenth  Street, 
Philadelphia,  Pa. 
Gentlemen:  The  United  States  Navy  Department  has  selected  the 
Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  for  government  work.  Through 
the  Commandant  of  the  Fourth  Naval  District  of  the  United  States, 
located  at  Philadelphia,  the  Department  has  directed  that  this  well- 
known  and  justly  esteemed  school  of  pharmacy  shall  act  as  tutor  to 
a  selected  class  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  naval  hospital  corps  men 
for  a  period  of  at  least  three  months  intensive  work  in  pharmacy 
and  the  collateral  branches  taught  in  this  college. 
The  course  will  occupy  five  and  one  half  days  a  week  in  attend- 
ance upon  lecture  and  laboratory  instruction  in  pharmacy  and  allied 
subjects  at  the  college,  and  three  evenings  a  week  of  instruction  in 
typewriting ;  arrangements  for  this  part  of  the  work  having  been 
made  with  the  Peirce  School. 
The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  is  conducting  this  part 
of  the  work  under  the  official  designation — U.  S.  Naval  Hospital 
Corps  Training  School  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
These  men  will  probably  be  placed  later,  not  only  in  the  U.  S. 
Naval  Service,  but  many  of  them  will  probably  take  charge  of  the 
dispensing  and  first  aid  work  in  the  U.  S.  Merchant  Marine,  which 
will  play  such  an  important  part  after  the  war. 
Very  truly  yours, 
Charles  H.  La  Wall, 
Dean.
