Aro wo as pharmacists professional
mon? Wo maintain that wo aro. How
ovor, quoting a fow passagoa from tho
spooch of tho lato Wni, M. Soarby of
tho Collogo of Pharmacy of tho Uni
versity of California, boforo tho Amer
ican Pharmaceutical Association at
Hot Springs, Ark., in Soptembor, 1908,
In which ho doflnes tho status of tho
pharmacist, wo can roadily under
stand why wa Jirajiot conBldctciLaB
such, gonorally. '
"A professional man is a man of cul
turo and attainments and only such
Larorogardcd as professionals. Meoe-
ured by this standard, 50,000 druggists
in tho United States, as a class, can
hardly claim to bo professional men,
nor will thoy bo so recognized as long
as tho majority of tho pharmacy grad
uates have-only a-grammar school. prc
Hmlnary education, followed by a two
year course in a college of pharmacy,
while thousands aro being registered
as llcontlatos in pharmacy without any
collogo instruction, and still other
thousands of drug clerks aro confining
cIcnttflctudlesoovigorniiH:
cramming by teachors who are ex
perts in tho art of fooling tho Btato
board. Now, pharmacy is a profes
sion, and there aro many in this coun
try wIiobo right to bo classed as pro
fessional mon cannot bo called into
question. Some of these havo not had
tho benefit of high and classical
courses1 but havo by Btudy and offort
mado good and attained a ffogroo of
culture which entitles them to rank
with thoso wIiobo opportunities were
greater. Why, then, if many pharma-
Blsts aro truly professional men, does
not th6 world at largo so recognize
thorn as a body? Because of the other
largo number who aro dragging us
down by deficient culture
Inferior J
scientific attainments and unethical
f-practlcoa, t in TTy finnYlUon that
tho status of tho pharmacist today is
kept down moro by the practice of
druggists than by tholr deficiencies,
whatever thoso may be, in education
and scientific attainments. Thoso lat
ter dofocts we aro rapidly curing.
Our collogos aro demanding higher
entrance-requirements and are- giving
mora Instruction. Tho doslroamong
us is almost, if not qulto, universal to
Improve the quality of our drugs and
preparations. All of thla olovatos our
standing in tho community. But wo
aro sadly hindered in our aspirations
for a higher status by an undue promi
nonco glvon to tho trade that is not
compatablo with tho highest ethics
Lntifi ihtp the, public are coming In-
creasingly to condemn." "
SInco tho founding of tho School of
Pharmacy at the University of Ne
braska sho has always stood for tho
higher things in our profession. Not
only has sho kept abreast of tho
times in the mattorotlitgmarinitnmcjrl
requlromonts and
moro thorough sci
entific and general education, but sho
has set up a standard for other schools
LnLpharmncy to follow. However, tho
movement for increasing tho requlro
monts for ontranco has not boon con
fined to tho Unlvorslty of Nebraska
-ninno, Tmf. hnq hflfln gonoral over tho
United States.
Another fact which has beon of ini--ntalnlIElmnrQvJnir'ourTBtatuB-has
boon tho recont national, stato and
municipal food and drug legislation.
With the passage of tho National
Food and Drug' Act of 1900 a hotter
and moro thorough training in phar
macy and pharmaceutical chemistry
has bocomo an absolute necessity.
Tho stato boards of pharmacy all
over tho Unltod States aro giving
moro rigid technical and scientific
examinations to their applicants for
registration, making it almost Impos
sible for an unlettered and unscientific
man to successfully pass thom.
Thoroforo, can wo not say that a
person who has had four years of high
school training and graduated from
tho four-year course of some recog-
jiized school or collogo of pharmacy
and has mado hlmBolf ellgibTo for reg
istration as a liconsod pharmacist by
having thffiiccossaryr expeTiencev 4b
in every sense of tho word a profes
sional man? Tho writer maintains
that wo can. Has not tho pharmacist
of today a just claim for recognition
as a professional man? In my opinion
ho has. H. P. W.
Taking the State Board Exam.

After wooks of procuration,
Study and doop concentration
My brain with knowledge packed and
stored,
From books until then unexplored
I come, as mookly as a lamb,
To try to pass tho board oxam. .
'TIs a maddening miasma,
A pharmaceutical phantasma,
-That-surpassolh-calculatloii
Tho stato board examination;
Of all its pitfalls I had hoard,
Cut my ambitions had been stirred.
Tho questions came; we looked thom
o'er,
A;nd-thougnT-of8noaltittg-OUttliodQQlu.
But prldo and fear held ub in lash,
So wo attempted nothing rash,
All day wo struggled steeped with
pain,
All night we wrestled with champagne.
Every day was full of-troubles;
Every night was filled with bubbles,
Until -my brain. jwaa Jn a wblrl;
A flood onhouhTsHItr sootlr and
swirl
In tho recesses of my head;
My pulse was weak, my eyes wore red.
But like all things, this had an end,
And homeward we our ways did wend,
To wait in sllonse and susponso
jn agony (oep anu- tonso,
For tho report we feared to boo;
Fnr.h riqy nnnrnml an eternity.
The posjeman camo on dreary morn,
When all tho world appoarod forlorn
Murk, mist and fog, and thunder's
boom
Denoted It a day of doom
And loft for mo a letter scored,
"From tho Stato Plimmlm-Board."
Taking it with hosltatlon,
Opening it with trepidation,
I gazed upon tho message thoro,
And read it thru in doop despair;
For it contained no hope, alas!
It said, "Young man, you failed
pass!"
to
At first I Bnorted, swore and raved,
Then r Bworo TindToarcd -and-cavedi
But time passod, I Boon became
Comparatively calm and sane.
And I'll como back, once moro a lamb,
To tako tho noxt state board oxam.
