COLLEGEOF PharmacyHealth Sciences

Dear alumni and friends: 2004 is a very special year for the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences as we celebrate our first 100 years of excellence inpharmacy education in Indiana. Graduates from three institutions (Winona Technical Institute, Indianapolis College of Pharmacyand Butler University) contribute to this very special achievement. The theme of this celebration is quite appropriate:

Honoring Tradition, Pioneering ChangeHonoring Tradition:

We are proud of our 3,000+ pharmacy graduates who have gone on to become leading practitioners in retail and hospital pharma-cies, industry, education and research. We have put together a series of events and programs over the next year that will recognize ourhistory of excellence in pharmaceutical education. For example, the history of the college is being written. This work will trace thechanges in pharmaceutical education at Butler over the last 100 years. I am confident that it will be an excellent record of our historyand will chronicle the contributions that our graduates have made to the profession of pharmacy.

On Oct. 1 and 2, during Homecoming, we will celebrate our first 100 years with several special events. The highlight of these eventswill be a Centennial Gala on Oct. 2. This will be an elegant evening with dinner and entertainment. Watch your mailbox for additional information on the weekend.

This year we are also initiating a Distinguished Alumni program. The designation Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna will be bestowed upon graduates who have madesignificant contributions to society, the profession and/or the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. We have received over 50 nominations for the inaugural class.The selection of the first 25 Distinguished Alumni will be completed in June and will be formally recognized at the Centennial Gala on Oct. 2. We take great pride inthe contributions these alumni have made to pharmacy and the people they serve. From this time forward, we will continue to recognize the contributions of our alumnieach year by bestowing the designation Distinguished Alumni on two to three recipients.

Pioneering Change:

We cannot rest on our laurels. Instead, we must forge ahead with new initiatives and pioneer change. Examples of these exciting changes are featured on the pages ofthis newsletter. For example, the PA program is admitting students to the new PA master’s program. We have new programs such as the Health Education Center, thetechnology-enhanced learning initiative and an exciting new direction in postgraduate education. Pharmaceutical science research will be reinvigorated under thedirection of our new chair of pharmaceutical sciences, Dr. Sudip Das, and we have hired a new faculty member in health outcomes, Dr. Iftekar Kalsekar. It is a veryexciting time for the college!

We recognize we must work to remain on the cutting edge of practice and education if we are to describe a new level of excellence for the next 100 years. To help us,we have initiated a Distinguished Lecture Series that will bring in national and international experts to help us exceed today’s definition of excellence for physicianassistant and pharmacy education and establish an exciting new future. These experts will challenge our beliefs about who we are and where we must go in the future.

It is fitting to honor our tradition, but it is imperative that we do not rest on our laurels; we must pioneer change. It is an exciting time for the College of Pharmacyand Health Sciences at Butler.

I love hearing from you! Please feel free to contact me at any time. My e-mail address is: pchase@butler.edu.

Warm regards,

Celebrating 100 years of Excellence in Pharmacy Education1904-2004

Investiture of Dr. Chase Drs. Edward and Margaret Rowe have bequeathed a $3.3 million gift to the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for an endowed chair. It is the first endowed deanship atButler. It is believed to be only the third endowed deanship for a college or school of pharmacy in the country and the largest amount of money ever endowed for a pharmacydean’s chair. On April 23 we held the Investiture of Dr. Patricia Chase as the Edward J. and Margaret F. Rowe Chair for the Dean of the College of Pharmacy and HealthSciences. The investiture is a formal academic ceremony to officially endow the chair. Each year money will be drawn from the interest realized from the endowment forfaculty and staff development.

Dean Chase discusses the significance of the Rowe gift. President Fong chats with Dean Chase and her uncle, Dr. JosephLeahy — Professor Emeritus, Notre Dame.

Butler continues as a partner in the RUAH Cap Grant, which provides services tothe underserved in central Indiana. Through the Medication Access Program thatCOPHS helped to establish at each site, over $2.4 million of medications have beenprovided to clinic patients at the participating sites. Additionally, Butler Pharm.D.students completed patient care rotations at each of the sites over the last year. All

sites were very impressed by the quality of the Butler Pharm.D. students.One of these students, Lee Rhea, Pharm.D. (2004), completed his Pharm.D.thesis project with Kathy Wren, Pharm.D., and Jennifer Gray, Pharm.D.,(both Butler graduates) at St. Vincent Randolph Hospital in Winchester,Ind. Dr. Rhea developed a congestive heart failure protocol for use atthe hospital. The protocol has been implemented and well-received atthe institution.

Miss Sally Reahard passed away July 15, 2003, at the age of 95. Miss Sally was alongtime philanthropist in Indianapolis. She was the daughter of Ralph M.Reahard, who attended pharmacy college with Eli Lilly in Philadelphia. Mr.Reahard came to Indianapolis to work for Mr. Lilly and was vice president ofproduction until his retirement in 1948. Upon his death, Miss Sally inheritedLilly stock and used the money to support her favorite causes. She lived inIndianapolis on Meridian Street until her death.

Miss Sally considered Butler University part of her neighborhood. The Collegeof Pharmacy and Health Sciences was always an interest to her because herfather's background was in pharmacy. To honor her father Miss Sally left $1 mil-lion in her estate to COPHS to be used to help students pursue a degree inpharmacy. The Ralph M. Reahard Endowed Scholarship Fund will begin award-ing scholarships in the fall of 2004.

EEddwwaarrdd JJ.. aanndd MMaarrggaarreett FF.. RRoowweeCChhaaiirr ffoorr tthhee DDeeaann ooff CCOOPPHHSS Edward and Margaret Rowe were lifelong educators,known by their colleagues and students alike fortheir thoroughness and determination. Fittingly,their estate gift to the College of Pharmacy andHealth Sciences will perpetuate the principles towhich they dedicated their professional lives.

Ed Rowe graduated from the University ofWisconsin in 1937 and earned his doctorate in

pharmacy there in 1941. He came to Indianapolis the same year, first teaching atthe Indianapolis College of Pharmacy and then moving to Butler when the collegemoved there in 1945. For 41 years, he taught and served as head of Butler'sDepartment of Pharmacy before retiring in 1982. He passed away in 1995.

Dr. Rowe was a past president of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacyand the American Association of Boards of Pharmacy. He also served 25 years assecretary-treasurer of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, District IV,and was a past national president of the Rho Chi Society.

The recipient of many honors and awards, he was given Butler’s Baxter Award forexcellence in teaching in 1955 and 1956. He also received the university’s HolcombAward in 1956 and was named one of its top 10 professors in 1962.

Margaret Rowe earned her bachelor of science degree in business administration fromIndiana University in 1932, a master’s degree from Northwestern University and anEd.D. from Indiana University in 1973. She completed her doctorate while she wasworking full-time as the chair of the business education department at ArlingtonHigh School, traveling to Bloomington several evenings a week. Previous to herposition at Arlington, Dr. Rowe held the same position at Howe High School.

Dr. Rowe taught at Butler as an adjunct professor in the secretarial sciencesdepartment before it was dissolved in the mid 1980s. She was also the co-author ofApplied Secretarial Practices, a textbook that she revised several times and was in printfor 25 years. Margaret Rowe passed away in 2003.

Both Edward and Margaret Rowe held their students to the same high standards towhich they held themselves. They accepted nothing short of students’ best work andstudents worked hard to meet those expectations. Students credit the Rowes forproviding a rigorous experience that prepared them well for their careers. Becauseof these values this endowed chair is only fitting to be in their honor.
