Collection Description

Historical Note

Kenneth Lee Waters (1814-1996) was born in Monroe, Virginia, and attended Lynchburg College in Virginia, the University of Georgia, and he received his Ph.D. from the University of Maryland in 1945. In 1939 he married Grace Wilson, daughter of Robert C. Wilson, in Athens, Georgia. Kenneth L. Waters became the dean of the University of Georgia School of Pharmacy in 1948. During his administration he was responsible for changing the curriculum from a four-year to a five-year program and beginning a graduate program which led to the Master Degree and Doctor of Philosophy. He also had the job of planning and building a multi-million dollar school facility. He retired as dean in 1977.

Scope and Content

The collection consists of several photographs, blueprints and plans of the pharmacy school when it was housed at Terrell Hall, New College, Moore College, LeConte Hall and the newer Pharmacy building built in 1961-1964. There are notes, photographs and histories about pharmacy in Georgia, Crawford W. Long, and the University of Georgia School of Pharmacy. There is also an index of students registered in the UGA Pharmacy School and the years attended between 1900-1948. Print materials in this collection are authored by Kenneth L. Waters, Robert C. Wilson, and professors in the pharmacy school as well as items by others relating to pharmacy history and pharmacy in general, as well as Waters' pharmacy licenses and other plaques and awards.
