(6) The faculty of the College of Pharmacy has recommended, and the Chicago Professional Colleges Senate has approved, the reorganization of the College, which is presently not departmentalized, into the following departments with assignments of functions as indicated in each case: Department of Pharmacy, including the academic program, research, and general supervision of the manufacturing pharmacy and hospital pharmacy in the Research and Educational Hospitals and the Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary. Department of Chemistry, including instruction and research in chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmacology, including instruction and research in the biological sciences underlying these subjects. Department of Pharmaceutical Administration, including the instruction and research in accounting, marketing, management, economics, and pharmaceutical jurisprudence; other courses usually classified in Liberal Arts and Sciences, which are now offered or which may be added to the curriculum, will be assigned to this Department. The College has been operated for many years on the basis of a division of responsibilities according to the departmental organization here recommended, but we administration has been only a working assignment. The administration of the College will be more effective by delegation of responsibilities in specific areas of teaching and research to regularly constituted departments with a qualified head in each case. I concur.
