Turn it Up!: American Radio Tales by Bob Shannon

It is my con- Celebrating 50 Years of Pharmacy at UBC sidered opinion that this was really the beginning of the clinical pharmacy course. Over the years, the Faculty has developed this particular area into an outstanding program. Both subsequently completed their PhDs and Dr. Sanders obtained his MD as well. Both returned to the academic environment at the university.

Matthews retired in , and we welcomed the new Dean, Dr. Bernie Riedel. Riedel's reminiscence you will find elsewhere in this book. I retired on December 31, and I have had the good fortune to work with all four Deans of the Faculty — three at the time they were serving as Deans and the fourth Dean as a colleague of mine at the Faculty. I have also had the distinct privilege of working with hundreds of students who are now practising the profession in BC and around the world, and I count that as one of the greatest rewards and challenges one could ever have.

However, the changes in a pharmacist's training from prior to the turn of the century to the present are even more profound. Prior to , there was no regulation of the practice of pharmacy in British Columbia, virtually anyone could open up a pharmacy and sell medicinal agents.

In the larger centres, however, most "pharmacists" had completed apprenticeships in eastern Canada, the eastern United States or Great Britain. In British Columbia, pharmacists began to realize that some form of control over the sale of drugs was required in order to protect the public, as well as the pharmacists themselves.

In , Mr. Tom Henderson gathered pharmacists together to examine Pharmacy Acts from other jurisdictions in order to draft a Bill to establish pharmacy legislation appropriate for British Columbia In spite of much opposition and the defeat of the first Bill, the Pharmacy Act was finally passed by the Provincial Legislature on March 3, It became necessary to meet certain requirements in order to practice pharmacy. Successful completion of a preliminary exam was made obligatory before serving a four-year apprenticeship under the supervision of a certified pharmacist.

After the first two years of apprenticeship, successful completion of minor exams in Materia Medica and Botany, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Dispensing, and Toxicology was required in order to become a Certified Clerk. Following a further two years of apprenticeship, major examinations were written, successful completion of which resulted in the candidate becoming a Licentiate of Pharmacy.

In those days, pharmacists still regularly prepared tinctures, decoctions, pills, and powders as compounding was required in more than half of the prescriptions dispensed. Because a formal pharmacy school did not yet exist, student pharmacists' education involved working all day in some cases from am to pm at the pharmacy in every possible capacity, and then studying at night. Eventually, pharmacy students were able to supplement the above-described training with evening classes at various private schools in British Columbia.

The first of these private pharmacy schools opened in to provide instruction in Botany, Chemistry, Pharmacy, and Materia Medica to soldiers wishing to study pharmacy after returning from the First World War. It was only after that these pharmacy schools began requiring completion of high school, and not just junior high, for admission to their programs.

This provided much-needed continuing education in various areas of pharmacy practice. Almost pharmacists signed up for the first session. Speakers included deans and faculty members of other pharmacy colleges across the country. The Humble Beginnings of the Department of Pharmacy Although the establishment of a degree program was a high priority with the Pharmacy Association of BC, the shortage of both funding and buildings at UBC were limiting factors. Three hundred and seventy- nine students registered for the first term, but this original campus was soon faced with overcrowding, particularly after the end of the First World War.

In , the University moved to its present location in Point Grey. Enrolment rapidly outgrew the available space for 1, students, but it was not until , when the student population reached 2,, that the University prepared to expand. Expansion was delayed, however, with the onset of the Second World War.

The situation following the war put an even bigger strain on the University's resources with 8, students seeking higher education! The University's solution to this problem involved converting over navy, army, and airforce huts to accommodate the huge influx of students. Both George Cunningham's influence as a member of the Board of Governors and his generous donation helped to make the establishment of a Department of Pharmacy at UBC a reality. In September , the first Department of Pharmacy classes were held in three converted air force huts, each designed to hold a maximum of seventy-two students, and in a separate lecture hall.

There were sixty-eight students enrolled in the first class which included fifty-four veterans and eight women. The Department and University considered themselves fortunate to have Dean Woods from the University of Saskatchewan head the department. He was regarded as one of the best teachers and administrators in Pharmacy in Canada, a man with much experience and great vision. Abe Luginsky. In the second hut, a well-appointed laboratory 24 feet by 50 feet and storeroom were located.

These two huts, thirty feet apart, were connected by a covered porch. In the third hut was the Pharmacognosy Laboratory 24 feet by 30 feet and the Research Laboratory 24 feet by 10 feet.

Behind the two joined huts was the lecture hall, which could accommodate over one hundred students. Prerequisites for entrance to the Department of Pharmacy included Senior Matriculation or first year university. The prerequisite courses included Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English, and either Latin or another elective.

The student then had to register with the Pharmacy Association, complete a year of practical training in a pharmacy, and pass an examination prior to acceptance into the Pharmacy Department at UBC.

This occasion celebrated the culmination of the tremendous efforts of the Pharmacy Association of BC and George Cunningham. K, SOLO.. The first winner, from the class of , was Nicolas Brodoway.

The Pharmacy wing of the three-storey building had four labs with limed oak lab benches featuring lucite-finished tops, a model dispensary, a museum, a reading room, five offices, a manufacturing room, various small research laboratories, and several classrooms.

The official opening of the Pharmacy section was delayed so that it could coincide with the Diamond Jubilee Convention of the Pharmacy Association in June Nineteen of the twenty-seven girls in Pharmacy attended. The Pharmacy students participated in every event and won the chariot race by beating the Aggies, Medical students, and Engineers. Although minor injuries were reported with every team, the Engineers actually had one student crack a rib! Dean Woods passed away unexpectedly on December 31, Professor EA. Morrison was appointed Acting Dean and he reassigned the courses that Dean Woods would normally have taught.

Professor Groves taught fourth year Pharmacology and Materia Medica, Professor Morrison took over the second year History and third year Law courses, and Glen Moir was made responsible for the Dispensing course. This was one of the two main sports dances held on campus and was considered a major event. A skating party was also held that January at the Kerrisdale Arena. Seventy students attended with a party at Bob Alexander's parents' home afterwards. Five thousand, five hundred and fifty-five students donated 3, pints of blood. Pharmacy placed fourth on campus in the interfac- ulty contest.

Woods Memorial Fund. Duller wrote the following poem: "A Pharmacy Student's Prayer" Dear Lord perched high on heaven's lid Look down on me your little kid, And in this last and dreadful hour Help me with your almighty power. I lapsed a little, Lord I know; Sometimes I hiked down to the show I danced a bit and skated too But never more than others do.

Perhaps to you, O Lord, it seems I wasted time on foolish dreams, But if you know this little guy, I'll bet a buck you'd do as I. Oh Lord, perched high on heaven's lid Look down on me your little kid, Forget the times I've been an ass And help me now to get a pass!

Down Memory Lane It listed a total of six Faculty members including Dean Woods. Three of them had been former classmates and so I was not among strangers. During my first year I shared an office with Finlay Morrison, a former classmate from the University of Saskatchewan. I was assigned to teach two courses previously given by Dean Woods. It so happened that back of the hut there was a medicinal plant garden. Dean Woods, an enthusiastic botanist, took delight in showing me the garden and making sure I was able to identify all of the plants.

As I recall, it was dominated by a tall Cascara sagrada tree surrounded by plants and shrubs such as Digitalis purpurea, Atropa belladonna and Datura stramonium, as well as many others. Although the garden was not really used as a teaching aid, it was interesting for students to see. By the beginning of the academic year, the Faculty had moved into one wing of the new Biological Sciences Building which was the second building to be built south of University Boulevard.

It was not until many years later that it was enlarged to its present size. In June ,1 and my family moved to Seattle where I spent the next 15 months at the University of Washington, taking courses necessary for my work toward a PhD degree. The unexpected and untimely death of Dean Woods occurred when I was half way through my stay at the University of Washington.

Since he had been teaching my courses while I was away, it became necessary for other faculty members to take on the extra workload of carrying on with these courses for the rest of the year. This was an example of the sort of co-operation which took place more than r Celebrating 50 Years of Pharmacy at UBC once during the fifties, as other members of Faculty were given leaves to pursue their doctoral studies.

Some interesting diversions were provided during the summer of as Vancouver hosted the British Empire Games. The athletes were housed in the Acadia huts and could be seen practising on the track and playing field which were located where the Student Union Building now stands. The medication needs of the athletes were dispensed from the Faculty dispensary. Dean Matthews asked me to take the responsibility of organizing and running the dispensary for this purpose.

I found it enjoyable meeting many of the athletes. It should be said that this was before the advent of anabolic steroids. The first Lions team worked out on a playing field on land now occupied by the Faculty of Education. As we left our building on the way to the parking lot, we were able to watch coach Annis Stukus putting the players through their paces.
