Columbia University. College of Pharmacy

The College of Pharmaceutical Sciences was founded in 1829 as the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York and affiliated with Columbia College in 1904 (later Columbia University in 1912). The first graduating class of 1831, contained three students. Lectures were originally given at various locations around New York City including at Columbia College. In 1901, the Office of the Dean was established with Henry Hurd Rusby as the first dean. As an affiliated institution of Columbia, the College of Pharmacy had both financial and administrative autonomy. In 1951, the College's Office of Development conducted a survey to determine possibilities for funding. As a result of increasing debt and lack of proper facilities, the College lost its accreditation in 1974 and graduated its last class in 1976. The College officially closed in 1976.
