The Course in Pharmacy was established at Oregon Agricultural College in 1898 with a four-year program leading to a B.S. degree in pharmacy, at a time when most pharmaceutical curricula were only 2-year programs. In 1951, Oregon State College inaugurated a five-year curriculum leading to a B.S. degree in pharmacy -- nine years before the five-year curriculum became the minimum requirement for all U.S. pharmacy schools. In 1999, the College of Pharmacy began offering a four-year entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) instead of a B.S. degree.
Ernst Thedore Stuhr served on the faculty of the Oregon State College (OSC) School of Pharmacy from 1927 to 1944 as Assistant Professor of Pharmacy (1927-1930) and Associate Professor (1930-1944) of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy. His major area of research, medicinal plants, was reflected in the many articles that he wrote for scholarly and trade journals.
The School of Pharmacy Photograph Collection consists of images assembled by the School of Pharmacy and by Ernst Stuhr. The photographs depict the Pharmacy Building, model drugstore, pharmacy classrooms and laboratories, and exhibits at drug shows held on the Oregon State campus. Many of the images include pharmacy students. Also of note are several images of the Eli Lilly drug manufacturing facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the 1920s.
Several of the photographs were made by Howells Studio in Corvallis; images by Ball Studio (Corvallis) and Photo Art Commercial Studios (Portland) are also included.
The bulk of the collection is photograph prints; several nitrate negatives are also included.
