Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

Recorded in the minutes are names of people taking the pharmacist license examinations (written, oral, and practical), as well as those taking the examinations for assistant pharmacist. Names of those who passed the examinations and their percentages follow. Names of pharmacists granted licenses in other states and thus granted a Minnesota license by reciprocity also are recorded. Occasionally the minutes contain references to oral reprimands issued to drug stores found open for business without a registered pharmacist on duty and warnings to pharmacists suspected of indiscriminately selling exempt narcotics. Citations for revocations of licenses also are noted.
