5.   DEAN SWINTOSKY CONCENTRATES ON PLANi'4ING

     Dean Joseph V. Swintosky of the College of Pharmacy says
"the College centennial (celebrated this year) has given us
not only an opportunity to celebrate our past accomplishments,
it has helped focus on future planning. The college, its faculty
and students are evaluating new concepts of improved health care
delivery, and are working on innovative methods of providing
pharmaceutical services, including the team concept of health
care service." The college was established in 1870, in Louis-
ville, with eight students attending evening classes. Since
then, the number of students has grown immensely and now the
college has over 2500 alumni.

     In 1947 the college became a division of the University.
Located in Louisville since its founding, the college moved to
its new facilities here in 1957. Administratively, it became a
part of the Albert B. Chandler Medical Center in 1966. By 1932,
the college offered a four-year program, and in 1958 a five-year
curriculum was instituted. Pharmacy students presently have the
option of working toward a bachelor of science degree, a master's
degree, or a professional doctor of pharmacy degree. The college
awarded its first Ph.D in pharmacy' this year. In 1969, an intern-
ship and residence program was developed in the University Hospital
Pharmacy. The college also operates the Drug Information Center,
which supplies to pharmacists, physicians, and other health practi-
tioners throughout the state information concerning durgs and pro-
ducts and their possible effects. The center has become parti-
cularly important in accidental poisoning cases. The college had
15 faculty members at the time it joined the University system.
With the increase in the number of students and the courses offer-
ed, the faculty has grown to 32, plus ten voluntary faculty
members. Since this is the only college of pharmacy in the state,
it primarily is responsible for meeting the demand for pharmacists
throughout the state.



6.   DR. MARTIN SAYS STUDENTS MORE HIGHLY MOTIVATED

     College students today are more highly motivated to get an
education than students 10 or 15 years ago, believes Dr. Leslie L.
Martin, professor of higher education. "The student body of today
is more critical, he also feels more secure in raising touchy
questions and is more sensitive to interpersonal relationships."
Dr. Martin says the major goals which the student has always set
for himself historically are vocational competence and economic
proficiency. "But now there is an added dimension to these goals,
in that they now are a means to a greater objective--a certain
life style. Today's students do not want to be vocationally pro-
ficient, just to move up the professional ladder, but rather as a
means to support a life style which is broader than the career
component--a life style in which they can find fulfillment in
living."
