Transcript	Pat Trevino and Joe Trial, right, measure the reactions of a sedated rat on a spectrograph. Robert Nance, center, lifts a rat from its incubator in the pharmacology laboratory. Far right, Marvin Thompson, Tommie Lee and Gary Wright inject their animal with a small dose of strychnine. 332 Pharmacy School Increased enrollment and the addition of four new faculty members made the College of Pharmacy the sixth largest in the nation in 1968. As a result, the school requested the establishment of a doctorate program. In the area of research, studies ranged from the effects of alcoholism to the makeup of drugs used by the Javaro Indians of Ecuador. Students studying pharmacognosy and pharmacology were active in the analyzation of constituents of drugs. A National Science Foundation Matching Grant for $5,500 provided two physiographs which recorded the reaction of animals to injected drugs. Dean Noel Ferguson explained that an active program with Veterans' Administration Hospital and local drug firms helped students complete 1000 hours of required experience in filling prescription orders. Adhering to the rigid regulations governing the quantity of each ingredient, John Seaman creates his own drug, left. Right, Dean Noel Ferguson explains his proposal for a doctorate in Pharmacy.
