The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy holds a special place in the history of North America, having been founded in 1821 as the first college of pharmacy in the region. Over the years, the institution has stayed true to its mission of providing high-quality education to students seeking to make a difference in the sciences, health professions, and related fields. Alumni include John Wyeth, Joseph P. Remington, William Procter, Josiah K. and Eli Lilly, all of whom have left a lasting impact on pharmacy practice and related industries to this day.

Cobalt blue, white porcelain, and gilded commemorative plate with University of the Sciences (USciences) seal on the center. In 1998, the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science officially changed its name to the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia to reflect its broad spectrum of new health and science programs. Following its merger with Saint Joseph's University in 2022, the college's name was reverted to Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. The commemorative plate belonged to William A. Thawley, a Philadelphia College of Pharmacy alumnus from the class of 1938. Thawley was appointed the 18th president of the then-Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science from October 1980 to January 1984. During his presidency, William A. Thawley introduced new majors to the College, such as biochemistry and physical therapy.
