In Memoriam UIC Pharmacist: I am deeply saddened to read of the passing of Dr. Ralph Morris and Herb Carlin (UIC Pharmacist, Summer 2011). I was an undergraduate pharmacy student at UIC from 1962 to 1966 and was very fortunate to know both of these outstanding pharmaceutical innovators. As pharmacy director, Mr. Carlin provided a strong sense of professionalism to the students and underscored the importance of pharmacists as part of the healthcare team. He was certainly a visionary. Dr. Morris was one of the significant people in my life, influencing my future direction in the profession of pharmacy. As most students in the ’60s, I initially intended to work in retail. In 1964, Dr. Morris offered me a position assisting him with some of his research. It was my first exposure to research and with his and Dr. Siegel’s formulation knowledge, I decided to pursue a PhD in R&D. The rest is history as I did receive that advanced degree and, for the next 40 years, worked in the pharmaceutical industry and served as a pharmaceutical development consultant. It is interesting how external influences affect one’s life, and, certainly, Dr. Morris was one of those individuals. The profession of pharmacy is indebted to Dr. Morris and Mr. Carlin for their many contributions. Jeff Rudolph, bs ’66
