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.
