University of Minnesota. College of Pharmacy

Dean Wulling described the beginnings of the College of Pharmacy in a letter to Ernst T. Stuhr (December 1934): "The act of April 22, 1891, Laws of the State of Minnesota, 1891, Chapter 163, Section 3, C1.9, created a Department of Pharmacy in the University and appropriated $5,000 for the equipping of a pharmaceutical laboratory. The College was made one of the colleges of the Department of Medicine, by the act of the Board of Regents, December 22, 1891; but the action of the Board, August 18, 1893, all of the four colleges theretofore comprising the Department of Medicine, including the College of Pharmacy, were made separate colleges not accountable to the Medical Department, but directly to the University President and the Board of Regents."

Frederick John Wulling was brought from the New York City College of Pharmacy to organize and direct the new College of Pharmacy at the University at the age of 25. The school was assigned one room in the Laboratory of Medical Chemistry Building, and except for a few courses taught in other departments, Wulling compromised the entire faculty.
