The Marvin Samson Museum for the History of Pharmacy is a museum established in 1995 to help honor the 175th anniversary of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. The Museum showcases exhibits of the Pharmacy College's large collection of pharmacy-related artifacts. This includes displays of chemicals, apparatus, medicines, and botanical specimens, found around campus for students to study.
The museum was named after Marvin Samson who gave a long-standing service to the institution. Samson is the founder and CEO of Samson Medical Technologies and the vice chairman of the College's Board of Trustees.[1]
History of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy
[edit]Originally named the Philadelphia College of Apothecaries, this institution was founded in 1821. The following year it was re-named the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP). It is recognized as the first pharmacy school in America. It was founded by a small group of Quaker apothecaries, whose goal was to create industry standards for the practice of pharmacy. The program was designed with a two year curriculum that consisted of evening lectures and apprenticeships with local pharmacists. Daytime classes were not offered until 1895. The college has changed names several times over the years[2]:
- 1821 - Philadelphia College of Apothecaries
- 1822 - Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP)
- 1998 - University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
- In 2022, the university merged with Saint Joseph's University.
Notable alumni
[edit]Over the years, the college has graduated many influential members of the scientific and medical communities[3]:
- William Procter Jr. (class of 1837), "the Father of American Pharmacy"
- Joseph P. Remington (class of 1866)
- Charles H. LaWall (class of 1893)
- Eli Lilly (class of 1907)
- Robert L. McNeil, Jr. (class of 1938)
- PCP upgraded to co-ed in 1876. Susan Hayhurst, class of 1883, was the first woman to graduate from PCP.
- Pinckney Napoleon Pinchback, class of 1887, was the first African American graduate. He was followed by William F. Taylor, PhG in 1894 and Henry M. Minton, PhG in 1895. More information on the early Black graduates of PCP can be found in: The Bulletin vol. 104, no. 3 (Winter 2018).[4][5]
