| Transcript | The University of Houston Board of Regents authorized the opening of the College of Pharmacy in September, 1947. Credit for its early success goes to Dr. L. E. Freeman, Acting Dean Dr. Allan C. Collette, and the Houston Pharmacy Liaison Committee, all of whom worked very closely with the University administration in getting the College started. In September, 1949, Dr. N. M. Ferguson became the dean of the college, and under his leadership, it has developed into a Class A College which offers a B.S. Degree in Pharmacy and a limited M.S. Degree program. Presently located in the Heyne Building, all departments of the College, except pharmacology, formerly occupied quarters in the Science Building. The Pharmacology Department moved from the Science Building to the Psychology Building in 1954, where it is still located. DR. N. M. FERGUSON, Dean, College of Pharmacy. The College of Optometry this year graduated its fifth class of Doctors of Optometry. During the past year the Optometry Alumni Association was organized with Dr. Tom Pruitt of Lake Jackson as president and Drs. Jim Slider and Gene Smith as other officers. The College under Dean Charles Stewart recently completed an extensive revision of its curriculum. The basic three-year optometry program was revised to provide clinical training to the incoming junior students. Junior status with a science background is required for admission into the College of Optometry. Under the revised program, optometry students now have supervised clinical experience during each of the three years of optometry studies. This extensive training will provide maximum opportunity for students to perfect their clinical ability prior to graduation. Dr. Bernard Mazow, lecturer in contact lens work, gave instruction in this field at the meeting of the International Society of Contact Lens Specialists at Munich, Germany, in August, 1958. DR. CHARLES STEWART, Dean, College of Optometry. 35 |
