Acquisition Information
This open collection is a combination of accessions transferred to
the University Archives by Assistant to the Dean of Pharmacy, Harold Reiss.
Accession #77-012 were the records of the Association from 1889-1976. They were
originally kept by Executive Secretary, Dean A.B. Lemon (1890-1969) and later
by Dean Lemon's successor, Howard Kohler. Following Kohler's death in 1976, the
records were preserved by Reiss and transferred to the Archives on May 11 and
June 13, 1977. Those records were processed in 1985 by Assistant Archivist,
Christopher Densmore.
Accession #90-022 was a later accession from Reiss of the
Association's records from 1970-1989. These were merged with the earlier
records and re-organized to operate as an open collection by Processing
Archivist, Jessica Tanny in January 2005.

Accruals and Additions

The School of Pharmacy Alumni Association, founded in 1889, is the
University at Buffalo's second-oldest alumni organization. An independent
organization, the Alumni Association fund-raises, organizes, and pays for
events separate from the University or the School of Pharmacy.
"The Alumni Association's main goal is to further the interest of the
School of Pharmacy. In their first meeting minutes on March 27, 1889 it was
written that: "The objects of the association shall be to further the interests
of its Alma Mater, to bring its members into closer fellowship, to promote
sociability and good feeling among them, and to assist in elevating the
standards of Pharmacy."
(-- 1.1 Secretary's meeting minutes, 1889-1958)
Dean Willis Gregory ran the Association's first meetings until 1891
when the first president, William O. Jaeger, was elected. By 1912 the
Association had grown to over 600 members.
One of the largest annual events organized by the Alumni Association
is the Spring Clinic Day and Alumni Reunion Dinners. These events have included
over the years: featured speakers, business meetings, and an induction of the
graduating class. The first official Spring Clinic Day was held in Foster Hall
April 1938 and was held with the Alumni Dinner which had at that time been an
annual event, but the dinner had been taking place annually since 1891.
Although the Alumni Association is a social organization, they also
have provided many services to both the alumni and the present student body
over the years including: continuing education services, scholarships, short
time, interest-free loans for students, and awards and contests
