Hahnemann University Academic Affairs records, 1928-1994 (bulk) 1848-2009 (inclusive)

Extent:
240.0 linear feet
Abstract:
Hahnemann University’s long history began in 1848 with the founding of the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania. Over the years, the institution evolved in many ways, eventually becoming Hahnemann University and, later, the Drexel University College of Medicine.

The collection consists of annual and accreditation reports; minutes, memoranda, and correspondence from various committees, councils, and departments; records of student life and...(see more)
