180  Founding  of  Phila.  College  of  Pharmacy.       j A  mS,'  §21!™' 
"Philadelphia  College  of  Apothecaries. 
"The  Introductory  Lecture  to  the  course  on  Materia  Medica  and 
Pharmacy,  will  be  delivered  by  Samuel  Jackson,  M.D.,  on  Friday  evening, 
November  9th,  in  the1  German  Society's  Hall,  in  South  Seventh  Street,  be- 
tween Market  and  Chestnut;  and 
"The  Introductory  Lecture,  to  the  course  of  Pharmaceutic  Chemistry, 
will  be  delivered  by  Gerard  Troost,  M.D.,  on  Saturday  evening,  November 
10th,  at  the  same  time  and  place." 
In  the  following  year,  1822,  when  the  College  was  incorporated, 
the  name  was  changed  from  the  "Philadelphia  College  of  Apothe- 
caries" to  "The  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy."  This  adver- 
tisement of  several  years  later  will  also  be  found  to  be  of  interest. 
From  the  National  Gazette  and  Literary  Register,  Philadel- 
phia, Saturday  afternoon,  November  13,  1824: 
"Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy. 
"The  Lectures  in  this  Institution  will  commence  about  the  middle  of  the 
ensuing  month  (November),  at  the  Hall  occupied  by  the  College,  in  Seventh 
Street  below  Market. 
"The  Course  on  Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy  will  be  delivered  by 
Samuel  Jackson,  M.D.  It  will  embrace  a  concise  History  of  the  Articles 
used  in,  or  connected  with  Medicine;  and  an  exposition  of  their  sensible 
and  medical  qualities ;  their  various  officinal  preparations,  and  the  modes  of 
detecting  spurious,  or  sophisticated  varieties. 
"The  course  on  Chemistry,  will  be  delivered  by  George  B.  Wood,  M.D., 
and  will,  in  addition  to  the  application  of  this  science,  to  Pharmacy,  compre- 
hend a  complete  series  of  popular  Lectures  on  Chemistry,  illustrated  by 
numerous  Experiments,  with  an  extensive  Apparatus. 
"There  is  belonging  to  the  College,  a  large  collection  of  superior  Speci- 
mens of  the  various  articles  comprised  in  the  Materia  Medica,  which  will  be 
exhibited  by  the  Professors  to  their  classes,  and  are  well  calculated  to  add 
to  the  interest  and  instruction  of  the  Lectures. 
"Tickets  of  Admission  to  be  had  of  William  Heyl,  Treasurer,  No.  215 
Market  Street,  or  Daniel  B.  Smith,  Secretary  to  the  College,  corner  of  Arch 
and  Sixth  Streets,  Price  $5.00  each  course,  and  a  matriculating  fee  of  $2.00

"By  order  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 
"Henry  Troth,  Chairman; 
"William  Baker,  Secretary." 
The  apparent  discord  or  opposition  between  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  and  the  Founders  of  the  College  has  occasionally 
been  magnified  and  distorted  by  those  unfamiliar  with  the  facts  as 
indicating  a  long  continued  and  bitter  enmity  between  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania  and  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy.
