Noble's book is a chronicle of the sixty-three year history of the School of Pharmacy, 1897-1960. It is also a record of earlier sporadic attempts to operate a school of pharmacy at the university and the intense and widespread effort that was required to establish the permanent school in 1897. The efforts of Edward Howell were particularly important in maintaining the finest pharmaceutical service in North Carolina.Originally published in 1961.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
