Donald Y. Barker Memorial
Donald Y. Barker, PhD came to University of the Pacific in 1957 as one of the first pharmacy faculty and was instrumental in the School’s early development. He quickly established a strong Pharmaceutics Department and helped students prepare for pharmacy practice in compounding, dispensing and pharmacy calculations. Dr. Barker was a member of Phi Delta Chi, served as the advisor to Rho Chi and mentored many graduate students during his tenure. At the time of his retirement he had taught over 3,800 pharmacy students, many of whom credit him as instrumental in their success as excellent practitioners.
