College of Pharmacy Distinguished Lecture Series
The Linda H. and Calvin J. Anthony Distinguished Entrepreneur in Pharmacy Lecture Series
This
lecture series is made possible through the kind
and generous establishment of the Linda
H. and Calvin J. Anthony Endowment for Entrepreneurial Development
in Community Pharmacy Practice. The series brings
to campus individuals with distinguished accomplishments
as entrepreneurs in the profession, with an overall
goal of providing an occasion for students, faculty,
staff, and alumni to learn about current opportunities
and future directions in community pharmacy as well
as key factors that facilitated the success of the
invited lecturer. These goals reflect the philosophy
of Calvin and his wife, Linda, who purchased their
first pharmacy in Stillwater upon Calvin's graduation
from OU. Calvin and Linda remain committed to the
promotion and enhancement of educational endeavors,
not only at The University of Oklahoma, but also
to the entire state of Oklahoma and to the profession
of pharmacy. Past Lecturers
The Philip C. and Ethel F. Ashby Lecture Series
Philip
Ashby, a 1922 graduate of The University of Oklahoma College of
Pharmacy, had a distinguished career in the pharmacy profession and
his success as one of the founders of Allergy Laboratories Inc. in Oklahoma
City is shared with us through his generosity and love for the university
and college. This endowed lectureship was established to bring to campus
experts in their fields to present to the students, faculty, staff,
and alumni data, information, thoughts and ideas that the lecturer believes
are current and important events shaping the profession of pharmacy.
This goal is fully consistent with the interests of Phil and Fern Ashby,
who contributed over the years to many university endeavors in addition
to an annual award to a pharmacy student. They were charter members
of the OU Alumni Development Fund and the Pharmacy Support Group. Past

He served as a professor of pharmacy (1926-37) and later as Dean

information and ideas that shape the profession of pharmacy.
Dean Harris also endowed a scholarship for the college,
establishing the Loyd and Maurine
