Open doors for women in pharmacy reach new heights
The Albany College of Pharmacy began admitting women in 1883 and has since awarded diplomas to thirty seven women. In 1916 a record six women graduated, and this year two of twenty graduates are women. Post 1920 entry requires a high school diploma, boosting anticipated registrations. Also a local classified note seeks two rooms and an auto transfer agent advertises car brands.
