Show Editorial On display One picture is worth a thousand words. This is certainly true of the pictures now on display in Skaggs Hall. The 40 paintings by the internationally known artist Robert A. Thorn immortalize milestones in the history of the profession of pharmacy from antiquity to the present day. . u The pictures bring to life the prehistoric caveman, who by trial learned what leaves to use to sooth his ailments; the Babylonians, who were first to practice the art of apothecary; Galen, who discovered and practiced principles of preparing and compounding medicines which ruled in the Western world for 1,500 years; the young Parisian apothecary Louis Hebert, who helped de Monts and Champlain build New France's first settlement, the Habitation; Andrew Craigie, who was the first man to hold the rank of a commissioned pharmaceutical officer in an American army, and William Procter Jr., who is known today as the father of American pharmacy. Also included are more recent developments such as chemotherapy, pharmaceutical manufacturing, the era of antibiotics. Ten years of intensive research and study, some 250,000 miles of travel and consultation with expert advisers in many countries contribute to the accuracy and authenticity of the paintings. Valued at one million dollars, the pictures were brought to the University by Parke, Davis & Co., pharmaceutical manufacturers, and will be on display here until Thursday. The Chronicle thanks the Parke, Davis & Co. for compiling this collection and the director of the project, George A. Bender, who thought of the exhibit project. We are also grateful for the work of Dr. Robert V. Petersen, who coordinated the exhibit's showing on the University campus.
