Dr. Charles Edmunds ably directed pharmacology at the University of Michigan until his death March 1, 1941. Under Dr. Maurice Seevers, who became chairman in 1942, the department has grown in size of staff, extent of facilities, and diversity and quality of research.
The department has established an international reputation for research in the field of drug addiction and dependency. In support of its research efforts it has attracted outside budgetary support, which, in the year 1969-70, amounted to $968,075, and in 1970 the Upjohn Center for Clinical Pharmacology, the gift of the Upjohn Pharmaceutical Company, became an important adjunct to pharmacologic activities in this Medical School.
