The work wnich Dr. Schneider reports upon as done while at the University of Nebraska. His article is on the action of can nabis when taken in toxic doses. Cannabis U commonly considered as a poisonous drug but it has long been used by the natives of India in large doses as a narcotic. Dr. Schneidei is now located at the North Pacifl' College of Pharmacy at Portland uregon. He is recognized Interna "onally as an authority in Pharma cognosy and Criminal Microscopy. Many Courses are Added to Pharmacy College Curriculum A new course in Chemistry and Microscopy of Uody secretions has been added this year to the curri culum of the College of Pharmacy. This course is a laboratory study oi the stomach contents, and glandular products of the human body. Every year new courses are being added in ihia college. The biggest addition was a course in drug manufacturing year. Machinery was purchased in order to give general training In i) inciphs of commercial manu facturing oi medicinal preparations. The additions made to the curri culum of the Pharmacy college course is Indicative of the growth of the college which has been a steady one during the past eight years. The new courses have proved popular with the students and the demand for a still further enlargement is be ing made by the undergraduates.

NURSES ROM on LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1923 PHARMACY HAS MADE S RONG GROW 1 HERE First Organized as a College in Spring of 1915 Early Classes in Nebraska Hall. GROW PLANTS FOR DRUGS Dean R. A. Lyman Placed in Charge of School of Phar macy and Helped De velop College. First organized as a college in the spring of 1915, the College of Phar macy is one of the newer colleges on the campus. Before 1915 there had been a school of Pharmacy. This school was brought Into existence in 1$08, when a group of men interested Pharmacy succeeded in getting the Board of Regents to establish It. The first year eleven students reg Istered in the School of Pharmacy. By hard work of those in charge the school gradually developed. In 1915 this development had been such as to insure the success of the venture. In that year the Legislature, by a special act, established the College of Pbnrniarv of the University of Nebraska. Tim earlv Pharmacists went to classes in the basement of Nebraska Jrlall. This location was soon out grown and the college was hampered because of lack of space. In 191" the new Chemistry Building was completed and the old Chemistry Hall vacated. This building was then turned over to the College of Pharmacy. Today the College of Pharmacy oc cupies all of the old Chemistry Build ing, and there are over 100 students registered in the college. On the Uni versity campus the College maintains a medicinal plant garden which is used for teaching and experimental purposes. About 25 species of plants are being cultivated in the garder and 25 species of tropical drug plant1' are being grown in the University greenhouses. The College of Pharmacy is member of the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Faculties. Mem bership in the conference is limited to the best American schools as de termined by their standards for en trance and examination. The credits of the College of Pharmacy are rec ognized by all first class schools ol Pharmacy and by all state examining boards. The pharmacy law of Ne braska permits graduates of the foul year course in Pharmacy to register in the state without store exper ience. Dr. P. A. Lyman is one of the men who has been influential in me oi gani.ation of the College of Pharmacy College of Pharmacy Drug Plant Garden Furniehes Many Crude Drugs The College of Pharmacy secures its supply of crude drugs from its own garden. The idea was conceived by Dr. Lyman a few years ago and Miss Elsie Day, a former instructor, from a small beginning in 1915 de veloped it until 110 drug-producing plants were grown. In 1918 Miss Day resigned her position and this coupled with the many interfer ences of war-time conditions caused the garden to deteriorate. At the present time the garden is in charge of Mr. Lewton, who is en deavoring to build it up to its for mer conditions. This year the gar den will contain about 100 plants. In addition to these there will be about 14 greenhouse plants. What is believed to be the first course of its kind to be offered in any school was established here in 1917. It consists of the study, raising and preserving of crude drugs. While there are many commercial drug gardens at the present time there are few gardens indeed in which practically every plant produc ing a well known drug is represented. As many as thirteen varieties of a single plant, digitalis, has been grown, and when it has been re called that 110 species of plants have been grown, the magazine of the un dertaking is apparent. Practically every corner of the country has been Students Frequent Health Department In Large Numbers One of the busiest places on the campus is the Student Health De partment in Pharmacy Hall. It keeps a doctor and a nurse busy every day looking after the health of the Uni versity students. Three doctors, Dr. C. Phllbrick, Dr. F. O. Harms, and at various times during the day. Miss Dykema, the nurse, is kept bus Dr. A. H. Webb are in the offices nil of the time. So far this year 1326 girls have received treatment at the dispensary. This is only about one-third as large as the number oi boys who have been treated. Three thousand seventy-four men have been treated so far during this school year. The total number of men and women treated and examined is 6052. This means that, on an aver age, 30 to 40 people are treated every day. TICKETS GO ON SALE HOMMYJR COMEDY "Taming of the Shrew" Will Be Presented by University Players April 27 and 28 at Temple. Tickets for "The Taming of the Shrew" which will be presented by the University Players April 26, 27, and 2S, will be placed on sale April 23 at the Ross P. Curtice Music Company. There are, a number of good seats to be had in addition tc the regular season tickets. This is the last play which will be given this year by the Players. has been the custom oij the Players to present at least, one Shakespearean play each year. These plays have been successful in every way, and have proved to be anions the most attractive numbers on the program of tho year. "A Winter's Tale" was given last season. In "The Taming of the Shrew" Players feel that they have chosen a comedy which has stood the test of time, popularity, and criticism. It has been said the comedies come and comedies go, but "The Taming of the Shrew" goes on forever. The rehearsals in preparation fo the production promise a presenta tion of the "taming process" at its best. Philadelphia The light cruiser Trenton was launched from the Cramp ship yard Monday. Every season has its delights. The auto tourists can't smell flowers along the way now, but he can smell hot dogs. combed for seeds and plants from which certain drug plants could be started. Even an obscure little nurs ery in India was sought out to secure certain tropical plants. The fact that the drug plant industry in this coun try is in its nfaney makes the se curing of certain seeds and plants extremely difficult. The College of Pharmacy is en deavoring to develop plants that are efficient and adapted to a temperate climate. In the past, drugs were se cured from plants that grew wild but at the present time large drug houses are demanding a high quality pro duct. The average person would think that all plants of a certain var iety would be the same in drug con tent, but it is a fact that plants of the same genus and species will dif fer greatly in drug content. TJie col lege is endeavoring to increase the amount of drag to each pound of the crude product. The factor may lie in the quality of the seed, the time o harvesting, the kind of soil, methods of curing and perhaps four or five other factors. The stupendous char acter of the study of scores of plants may easily be preceived. There are certain plants such as belladona and stramonium, which, for instance, re quire lime in the soil, since they pro duce medicinal alkaloids. Belladona (Continued on Page Four).
