TO A FRIEND
Even though he has passed to a much fairer
land, words ean not express the feelings of those
who knew so loyal a Nebraskan, one so true, so
earnest, and so kind, as was Ralph Northrup.
He will live long in the minds of many, for his
acquaintance was extensive and every one who
knew him considered him a real friend.
May we remember him not alone for what he
has done, though he has done much, but let us
remember him for himself he was a true repre
sentative of his kind a real man.

UNIVERSITY WEEK BOOKLET
Pharmacy at Nebraska
It is not often that the honor to de
liver a University convocation address
comes to a pharmacist, but the Uni
versity of Nebraska conferred upon
ne this honor recently by inviting me
to deliver the address of the day at
the University convocation on Thurs
day, May 13. The week. May 10 to
15 inclusive, was designated by the
University as "Pharmacy Week" In
recognition of the promotion of the
Department of Pharmacy into the es
tate of a full college. Formerly it
was a school. Not only has the de
partment been elevated in rank, but
it has been given positive assurance
that it may soon vacate its all too in
adequate quarters and remove into a
building entirely of its own. The build
ing assigned to Pharmacy is the pres
ent Chemistry building, in which some
thing over 600 students are taught
Chemistry. The building is to be re
modeled and adapted to the purposes
of a college of Pharmacy. Dean Ly
man especially is very happy about
this, because it has been his constant
endeavor since the school was first
established in 1908 to secure for Phar
macy a more equitable place among
the University colleges. As valuable
as the assigned new building, is the
good will toward Pharmacy on the
part of the University Chancellor and
the Regents, who have promised their
support toward the development of
Pharmaceutical education on a Univer
sity basis in Nebraska. To this good
fortune is added that growing out of
the constructive activity of the Ne
braska State Pharmaceutical associa
tion through the work of whose presi
dent, who is also State Senator, Sen
ator Brookley, the recently adjourned
legislature enacted the law elevating
the School of Pharmacy -to a College
of Pharmacy. This elevation places
Pharmaceutical education in Nebraska
on a basis comparable with the ranks
enjoyed by other educational depart
ments. This is only another evidence
of the upward tendency of Pharmaceu
tical education throughout the coun
try. Not only are the colleges devel
oping, but the state associations are
taking more lively an interest in ade
quate educational standards. The state
boards, too, are stimulating upward
movement. The president of the Ne
braska State Board of Pharmacy in
troduced a resolution at the board
meeting, held while I was in Lincoln,
to make two years of high school
work the minimum academic require
ment for eligibility to state examina
tion. It is some little satisfaction to Min
nesota to know that Nebraska has
been following the Pharmaceutical
educational development that has been
going on in Minnesota and that it has
been found worthy of emulation. Min
nesota is especially pleased that Ne
braska has now also fallen in line in
the matter of recognizing medicinal
plant cultivation as a legitimate and
necessary activity of a College of Phar
macy in its provision of adequate
teaching facilities. Nebraska has a
very respectable nucleus of a drug
garden and is in a fair way scon to
inherit room in some of the University
plant houses for such work as can
only be done in a greenhouse.

The Work of H. G. Hewitt Contains
Figures of the Organizations That
Participated
A neat twelve page booklet setting
forth the university week propaganda
has Just been published byKhe uni
versity week association of the state
university and will be ready for distri
bution in a few days. It defines uni
versity week at Nebraska as "A lyceum
entertainment course compressed into
one week like a Chautauqua ; a series
of university attractions sent out to
a series of towns in the state all in
the same week, spring vacation. Uni
versity week in a town means five or
six evenings' entertainment by univer
sity talent within the week or ten
days of spring recess." It announces
that the purpose of university week is
to bring the people of the state a
first hand knowledge of the university.
The booklet contains pictures of the
various organizations that went out In
the state last spring; the personnel of
the different groups; the programs
given; appreciations from the press of
the different towns visited and much
other interesting material bearing on
the subject.
According to the financial statement
or last year's attempt, after all ex
penses were paid, Osceola made a
profit of $62.45; David City, $175, and
Seward, $120.89. The plan for this
year's program is outlined and those
wishing to consider securing the week
of events are urged to make immediate
application as only six towns can be
supplied and competition is already
apparent. H. G. Hewitt, business
manager of last year's program, com
piled the information and planned the
booster booklet.
