Show In 1947 L. David Hiner Became the new dean of the University of Utah Cc liege of Pharmacy. Twenty years later, after building the College into one of the best in the nation, Dean Hiner leaves with only one regret-that he "...will not be privileged to be directly concerned with the classroom instruction of the high quality students now coming to the University." Dean Hiner leaves behind a small, though excellent, Pharmacy College. Two hundred and eighty pupils grace the pharmaceutical halls, and morale amongthem is high. Personal communication between the excellent faculty members and students is the rule, not the exception, and the amount of student participation in departmental activities is almost unrivaled on campus. With adequate facilities and no intradepartmental wrangles, Pharmacy students have little to complain about and a great deal to gain. The college is encouraging undergraduates to realize the importance of research and continue into this field. Clinical courses are giving new meaning to pharmacy. The pharmacist learns to be involved in understanding a patient's medical history in order to protect that patient's health from adverse mixtures or side-effects in prescriptions issued by different physicians. Curriculum revisions are providing students more opportunities for clinical experience and more chances to use laboratory equipment. A student with ambition and five years to devote to highly-specialized disciplines is more than welcome in the College of Pharmacy, and will leave i1 well-prepared for a challengingcareer.
