The Pharmaceutical
Society is known by the work which it is doing in the
furtherance of the profession for which it stands.
The purpose of the
society is to bring the students of Pharmacy into close
fellowship, co-operation and understanding, to be
efficacious in promoting the feeling of professional
kinship, to give the Pharmacy department more prominence,
and to provide pleasing and instructive entertainment for
the members and the public. It is true that in no other
school or college of the University are the students so
well acquainted and so intimately in touch with their
instructors and so enthused in their work, as are the
Pharmacy students.
It has been the purpose
of the society to devote time to the concentration and
discussion of those items of interest along
pharmaceutical lines, and in organizing the fact, that
the association with men high in the profession, would be
one of the greatest influences in broadening the student
and raising before him the high ideals which are so
essential to success. The state board meets in Lincoln in
May of each year and a banquet is given in their honor,
the purpose of which is to acquaint the students with
those men whose success has risen them high in the
profession.
