REORGANIZATION OF THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
(6) The faculty of the College of Pharmacy has recommended, and the Chicago
Professional Colleges Senate has approved, the reorganization of the College,
which is presently not departmentalized, into the following departments with
assignments of functions as indicated in each case:
Department of Pharmacy, including the academic program, research, and
general supervision of the manufacturing pharmacy and hospital pharmacy in the
Research and Educational Hospitals and the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Department of Chemistry, including instruction and research in chemistry,
physics, and mathematics.
Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmacology, including instruction and
research in the biological sciences underlying these subjects.
Department of Pharmaceutical Administration, including the instruction and
research in accounting, marketing, management, economics, and pharmaceutical
jurisprudence; other courses usually classified in Liberal Arts and Sciences, which
are now offered or which may be added to the curriculum, will be assigned to this
Department.
The College has been operated for many years on the basis of a division of
responsibilities according to the departmental organization here recommended, but
we administration has been only a working assignment. The administration of the
College will be more effective by delegation of responsibilities in specific areas of
teaching and research to regularly constituted departments with a qualified head in
each case.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this recommendation was approved.
