The Medical Department of Ohio Wesleyan University had vacated the building earlier in the year, when it consolidated with Western Reserve University's School of Medicine. image_header 2021-03-02T17:09:32+00:00 1908-1920 1908 The Cleveland School of Pharmacy was originally established in 1882 by the Cleveland Pharmaceutical Association. It became affiliated with Western Reserve University in 1908. While downtown, the School was housed for most of the time in the old Ohio Wesleyan Medical School building. Student life was almost non-existent as many of the students clerked in drug stores when they did not attend classes. However, a basketball team was organized in 1910. Student activities increased when the School moved to the University Circle campus. Further information about the early history of the school, later years on the University Circle campus, and its gardens at Squire Valleevue Farm is available in the archived blog post, "The School of Pharmacy," written by Archives staff.
