Dean Joseph Price RemingtonContext
Joseph P. Remington graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP) in 1866. A respected figure in the field of pharmacy, Remington became Professor of Theory and Practice of Pharmacy at PCP in 1874 and Director of the Pharmaceutical Laboratory in 1877. Remington was the first vice-president of the Committee of Revision of the United States Pharmacopeia and supervised the preparation of several class compounds for their annual publication of national standards for medicinal substances and preparations. In 1880, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy conferred an honorary Master in Pharmacy degree to Remington and elected him first president of the Council of the American Pharmaceutical Association, an office he held for six years. He later became the Dean of the College, retaining the position from 1893 until his death in 1918. Remington was also the original author of The Practice of Pharmacy (1886), which, now in its 23rd edition, remains the most widely used reference in American pharmacy education.Made/Created
