History

A fundraising campaign was begun so the school could be recognized as a degree granting institution. They began their first formal course of instruction on October 1, 1891. At first, it was a one-year certificate program but with recognition, it became a two-year Pharmacy Graduate degree. Students attended lectures in a two-room apartment at 399 Classon Avenue. The kitchen was a laboratory and the parlor was the lecture hall. Among the members of the first class was William D. Anderson, Ph.G. who became the third dean of the college. In 1929, they moved to 600 Lafayette Avenue, which included a gymnasium where the school's intercollegiate basketball team played.
