Abstract:
Papers, mainly 1880-1941, of Edward Kremers, a former University of Wisconsin-Madison professor of pharmacy (1889-1935), together with a small group of papers of his father, Gerhard Kremers. Edward Kremers' papers document his childhood in Milwaukee; the German Reformed Church; the Mission House, a Reformed Church preparatory school; and his education and training in pharmacy at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, the University of Wisconsin, and the universities of Bonn and Goettingen. General correspondence concerns his personal life and the German religious and cultural environment in which he lived, as well as many of his later professional activities. Additional essays, reminiscences, and subject files concern various topics related to science and pharmacy, post-retirement travel, and his pro-German biases on foreign policy. A large portion of the correspondence is written in German script, although translations are included for his correspondence with his fiancée. Additional professional papers are incorporated in the extensive Kremers' Reference Collection held by the University of Wisconsin Pharmacy Library. Gerhard Kremers' papers consist of reminiscences about the family's immigration to Manitowoc County in 1848 and later to Milwaukee; “Die Reise,” a discourse on social history and religion; and school lesson books.
