Panasci Atrium
This is a casual seating area that overlooks the first-floor café. There are several display cases that surround all columns in the lobby. There is also a glass wall looking into the model pharmacy. Plenty of comfortable couches and chairs are available for students to meet, work or relax.
Apothecary Museum
In 1993, our turn-of-the-century apothecary was created to complement the school’s museum, further illustrating the evolution of the field of pharmacy in the US from the late 1700s to the mid-1900s. The Apothecary also serves to preserve various pharmaceutical artifacts from Western New York and its surrounding areas—many of these items were donated by alumni
Apothecary and Historical Exhibits
As part of the first and oldest public school of pharmacy in New York State, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Museum of the University at Buffalo is an important component of education not only for the school’s students, but also for alumni, the Western New York community, and visitors from throughout the world who have an interest in the earlier methods of pharmaceutical care.
History
The Museum was created in 1986 to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the school. In 1993, a turn-of-the-century “apothecary” was created to adjoin the museum and further illustrate the practice of pharmacy in the U.S., focusing on the period between the late 1700s until the mid-1900s. This education continues as the museum and is further opened to the public through a series of displays throughout the school.
The Apothecary and Exhibits also serve to preserve various artifacts from the history of pharmacy and the practice of medicine in Western New York and the surrounding areas. These actions also support the effort to promote the field of pharmacy in the provision of health care.
Collection
The focus of the Apothecary and Historical Exhibits highlights pharmaceutical care, primarily, but not limited to, Western New York. Unique items which will provide education in this area are sought, particularly those which possess meaning to the history of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University at Buffalo and/or its alumni. Additional artifacts may be added based upon their relationship to the existing collection.
Reference
University and school historical reference questions are welcome, and should be addressed to the Apothecary Exhibits Director.
Celebrating 25 Years
In 1993, our Apothecary was opened to provide visitors with the immersive experience of an early 1900s pharmacy.

Individual and small group tours are available. We also can provide half-day educational tour sessions for classes and youth groups in conjunction with the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection in the University at Buffalo’s Health Sciences Library and other health science museums and exhibits on campus.
Historical Exhibits
The Apothecary, as well as the Historical Exhibits throughout the school display a wide range of products which were used to treat a variety of illnesses. In the front of the Apothecary, a revolving piece focusing on a health awareness area is also presented.
Prohibition Products
The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution had an effect on some medicinal products, including what is now known as “patent medicine.” One of the more popular items of this exhibit is a non-refillable National Prohibition Act Prescription Blank on which a physician could use to prescribe alcohol.
Tax Collection Stamp
A special tax stamp issued by the US Internal Revenue Service and purchased by a pharmacy to participate in the retail sales of products containing opium, coca leaves and related ingredients. The stamp was required to be displayed for all to see in the facility.
Medicine Creation Display
Set up on an actual working bench from an early 1900s pharmacy, the medicine creation display contains a variety of tools including a ledger from the late 1800s, a pill roller, tiles and spatulas, a pill coater, pill finishers, suppository molds and presses, emulsifiers, and cutters used in creating medicines prior to the period of mass manufacturing.
Wolfish Container Collection
A member of the Pharmacy Class of 1958, Maurice Wolfish was an avid collector of pharmacy memorabilia. Upon his death, his family donated his compilation to the Apothecary for preservation.
Traveling Herbal Cart
An integral component of pharmacy education involved the study of botanicals. Students were expected to be proficient in knowledge related to plants used in the creation of medicine. The Apothecary contains a mobile cart which was employed for instruction in this area. The cart contains 144 tin containers of herbal samples which are identified by their common name, botanical name, natural order, habitat and the part of the plant that was used.
Cigarettes for Asthma
A popular item in the Museum is Dr. R. Schiffmann’s Asthmador Cigarettes for asthmatics. The cigarettes, sold until the early 1960s, contained stramonium and belladonna, which were viewed as a respiratory decongestant and a muscle relaxant, respectively. The cigarettes were later favored by individuals for their hallucinogenic qualities. By the late 1960s, reports of poisonings multiplied and they ceased to exist.
Western New York Items
The Apothecary and Historical Exhibits contain many products which were made in Buffalo and other parts of Western New York. Some of these items include Doan’s Tonic Tablets, Charles A. Dref’s Whooping Cough Remedy, Gino Pills, Hutch Tablets, Dr. J.D. Kellogg’s Asthma Remedy, Perry’s Original Hed-Ache Capsules, Peterson’s Ointment, and Dr. Sullivan’s Vegetable Compound.
Medical Tools
A number of items from our collection can also be viewed as part of the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection in the Health Sciences Library which is located in Abbott Hall.

Arthur H. Dean Room
The General Reading Room, now known as the Dean Room, is Uris Library’s most commanding interior space and its prominence is significant. While not the first library to contain such a space, architect William Henry Miller’s design reflects a major shift in how academic libraries functioned.
Previously, university libraries were essentially storage facilities open to faculty only a few hours per week. But Cornell’s library building was designed to accommodate a collection of 400,000 books and to provide a convenient way for people to access and use those books. Built into the natural slope of the site, no book in the library was more than 120 feet away from the service desk at the west end of the General Reading Room – the same place where today’s circulation desk is located.
Cornell may have had the first American university library intended for extensive use by undergraduates as well as faculty, thanks to the vision of its first University Librarian Willard Fiske. Cornell’s library was open nine hours a day, longer than any other college library in the country. Hours were extended even further in 1885, when Cornell’s library, then located in McGraw Hall, became one of the first American libraries to be lighted by electricity.
The library may have been open, but books did not leave the building. From the beginning, the library was conceived as a non-circulating reference library. Only later after conducting a survey of other libraries in 1908 did Cornell agree to allow books to be borrowed by its faculty and students.
By then, the stacks were already becoming overcrowded. Lack of adequate space for books and readers became a frequent source of contention over the next 50 years and these pressures were not completely remedied until Olin Library was built in 1961.
Renamed in 1962 for Harold D. Uris, a graduate of Cornell’s Class of 1925 and a Cornell trustee from 1967 to 1972, Uris Library was designated as the “undergraduate library,” so that these students would not have to compete with graduate students or faculty for resources, services or study space.
The Dean Room is named for Arthur H. Dean, an Ithaca native, Cornell alumnus, attorney, diplomat, United Nations delegate, and Cornell University trustee. He and his wife Mary provided funds for the renovation of Uris Library and the building of Olin Library. Thousands of rare books and manuscripts have been added to the library collections as a result of their generosity, and to foster a love of books and reading among Cornell’s students, they also began the library’s first undergraduate book collection contest, which lasted from 1966 until 1989.
The Dean Room is now, as it has always been, a reading room where one can study quietly or take advantage of other traditional library services. It is also a hub of new activities. Card catalogs have been replaced by computers and wireless connections make access to Cornell’s digital resources possible here and throughout the building.
In the northwest corner of the room hang portraits of Ezra Cornell and Andrew Dickson White, the University’s co-founders. They are joined by portraits of Cornell’s past presidents, which proceed in chronological order as you move counterclockwise around the room.
Elements of Cornell’s history are preserved in Uris Library’s architecture and art work. As you tour the building, we hope that you can appreciate Andrew Dickson White’s belief that: “the library is the heart of the university, ‘the culmination of all.’”
A witchhunter apprentice who genuinely believes he is doing God’s work by ferreting out witches becomes disillusioned when he slowly begins to understand that witch trials are a ploy by the church to rob innocent victims of their land or money, or an act of revenge upon women who have rebuffed unwanted sexual advances. The film contains very strong graphic torture including a woman's tongue being ripped out and nuns being raped.
