We, the 1967 graduating class of ACP, dedicate our yearbook to Dean O’Brien not only as an expression of our gratitude and appreciation but also on behalf of all those persons who have been honored by their associations with him during his nearly 50 year career in Pharmacy. He is known as a leader in his profession, a leader in his community and an outstanding leader in pharma- ceutical education. Dean O’Brien was graduated from ACP in 1920 and was ap- pointed to the college’s teaching staff the same year. In 1937 he was appointed Professor of Pharmacy and in 1943 he became Dean. He received his A.B. degree in 1932 and his M.A. degree in 1936, both from the New York State College for teachers. In 1940 Fordham University granted him the degree of Doctor of Philoso- phy. Two honorary degrees have been conferred upon him in 1956 that of Doctor of Science by Union University and in 1963 Doctor of Humane Letters by Siena College. DEDICATION In the drug world he has served in many capacities: Chairman of the Section on Pharmaceutical Economics of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Vice-President and member of the Executive Committee of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, member and Past President of the New York State Board of Pharmacy and delegate to the U. S. P. Revision Con- vention, and Secretary of District No. 2 of the American Associa- tion of Colleges and Boards of Pharmacy. In 1964 he was elected Honorary President of the New York State Pharmaceutical So- ciety. The Dean is contributing editor of the New York State Phar- macist, Consulting Pharmacologist to the Albany Medical Center Hospital and Lecturer at the Albany Medical College. Dean O’Brien’s record of service, achievement, and infinite interest in all things, but especially students, speaks for itself and we as a group can only say “Thank You” in a small way by this dedication. 7
