The Rutgers University College of Pharmacy: A Centennial History

By Roy A. Bowers

"The College of Pharmacy at Rutgers University is exemplary of the proprietary schools that flowered during the late nineteenth century. In this instance, the College evolved into an integral part of a major state university, despite frustrations and travail. Only a dozen colleges of pharmacy have had their histories analyzed so extensively. Such histories hold enduring value for succeeding generations of alumni and faculty; moreover, they add to the growing mosaic of evidence out of which, someday, can be synthesized a national history of pharmacy and pharmaceutical education. The present work should serve as a stimulus and model for others."??from the Foreword by Glenn Sonnedecker, former Director, American Institute of the History of Pharmacy This history of the Rutgers College of Pharmacy is a history of pharmaceutical education as it unfolded in New Jersey. The authors have related the Rutgers experience not only to national developments in education, but also to developments in the pharmaceutical sciences and to the changing pharmaceutical practices in the nation and the state.
