Dear Friends of Homeopathy,
I am very proud to insert here a press release from the University of
the Sciences in Philadelphia that announces an honorary degree to be
bestowed upon Jack Borneman, a leading homeopathic pharmacist. No one (!)
has done more to keep homeopathic medicines legal in the USA than Jack
Borneman. Bless him...and bless this university that has chosen to honor
him!

Celebrate Founders’ Day on Feb. 19
John A. Borneman, III, P’52, RPh, to receive honorary degree
University of the Sciences in Philadelphia will celebrate the 188th
anniversary of its founding on Feb. 19, 2009, with a number of events,
including an honorary degree to be bestowed upon John A. (Jack) Borneman,
III, P’52, RPh, alumnus, and chairman, founder and past president of the
Homœopathic Pharmacopœia Convention of the United States. Founders' Day
recalls the University's establishment on Feb. 23, 1821, by 68 prominent
Philadelphia apothecaries.
At 2 p.m., a full processional in the AstraZeneca Auditorium of the McNeil
Science and Technology Center will mark the start of an official ceremony
that will award Borneman with an honorary doctorate of science degree for
his “entrepreneurial spirit and leadership in the homeopathic medicine
industry and continued dedication to innovation and excellence.” To further
mark the occasion, University President Dr. Philip P. Gerbino will announce
two awards recognizing a current student and faculty member who represent
the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of the University’s founders, and
who have engaged in research or some form of scholarly pursuit that results
in new developments or discoveries.
“Founder’s Day is a wonderful occasion to celebrate our legacy and the
growth of University of the Sciences. The University has a rich and
long-standing tradition of producing leaders who have shaped new dimensions
of professionalism, pharmacy, and healthcare,” said Dr. Gerbino. “Jack
Borneman is among those leaders. Jack has been at the forefront of standards
and change for homeopathy, creating a foundation from which future
generations of homeopaths can continue to build upon.”
Borneman has spent his lifetime committed to the development and regulation
of homeopathic medicine within the United States. He is the third of four
generations of “John Bornemans” to attend the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy. Upon graduation, Borneman joined the firm of John A. Borneman and
Sons, Homœopathic Pharmacists, begun by his grandfather in 1907. In 1980,
Borneman was a founding director of the newly incorporated Homœeopathic
Pharmacopœia Convention of the United States (HPCUS), and in 1983, he was
elected the second president of the organization. In the course of his 25
years as president, his leadership evolved HPCUS into a respected
international body of scientists and experts consulted by governments
world-wide as the leader in homeopathic regulation. His work has led to the
wide availability of standardized, high-quality medications to the general
public. In Aug. 2008, Borneman assumed the role of HPCUS chairman of the
board, where he continues to be a gentle guiding force in a rapidly growing
industry. He continues to lecture on homeopathy to both pharmacy and
physician assistant students at University of the Sciences, and maintains a
practice in community pharmacy and patient care at Treatment Options
Pharmacy in King of Prussia, Pa.
When the University was founded in the 19th century, the practice of
pharmacy still relied heavily on centuries-old folk wisdom passed down from
apothecary to apothecary. In 1821, 68 prominent Philadelphia apothecaries
met in Carpenter's Hall to establish the basis for the improved scientific
standards we enjoy today and to train more competent apprentices and
students. They pledged “to invite a spirit of pharmaceutical investigation"
and to guard the public from "the introduction of spurious, adulterated,
deteriorated, or otherwise mischievous articles." A year later, they
organized and incorporated the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy (PCP)—the
first college of pharmacy in North America—now a part of University of the
Sciences. The group ushered in a new era of the practice of pharmacy—the
identification, selection, compounding, and analysis of drugs—and laid the
foundation for a legacy of future advances and discoveries.
Many of these discoveries were made by PCP graduates. PCP boasts a 'who's
who' in the history of pharmaceutical companies with nine alumni who were
founders and leaders of today's top pharmaceutical companies:
. Dr. Eli Lilly (1907) and his father Josiah K. Lilly (1882)
. Gerald F. Rorer (1931)
. William R. Warner (1856)
. Robert L. McNeil, Jr., (1938) and his grandfather Robert McNeil
(1876)
. John Wyeth (1854)
. Silias M. Burroughs (1877)
. Sr. Henry S. Wellcome (1874)
At University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, students embark on a
challenging learning experience in a proving ground for successful
professionals in the healthcare-related fields. A private, coeducational
institution dedicated to education, research, and service, and distinguished
as the nation’s first college of pharmacy, the University has produced
leaders in the healthcare marketplace since its founding in 1821, including
founders of six of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world. With
undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degree programs in such disciplines as
pharmacy, bioinformatics, physical therapy, healthcare business, and health
policy, the 3,000 students in the University of the Sciences’ five colleges
learn to excel in scientific analysis and to apply their skills to improving
healthcare in their communities and in the lives of people worldwide.
