George
Lewis
George C. Lewis (1908-1982),
Class of 1928, spent 25 years in
pharmacy before embarking on a
second career as a stock broker.
Committed to his alma mater and
original profession, Mr. Lewis was
known for his unstinting support of
ACPHS, both as a longtime trustee and
an active member of the alumni
association. In 1999 Mrs. Leona
Lewis (1908-2003) presented the
College with a gift that at the time
was the largest in the school's
history, paving the way for the
library's renovation, expansion and
technological upgrades. The expanded
facility, on the second floor of the
O'Brien Building, re-opened as the George and Leona Lewis Library
in 2000.
