UC Firsts:
First program of cooperative education – Herman Schneider (1906)
First oral polio vaccine – Albert Sabin
First observations leading to the National Weather Service
First antihistamine, Benadryl – George Rieveschl
First electronic organ – Winston Koch
First use of YAG laser to remove brain tumor
First bachelor’s degree program in nursing
First emergency medicine residency program
First safe anti-knock gasoline
First degree program offered via satellite
First , Benadryl – George Rieveschl
George Rieveschl (1916-2007) invented Benadryl, the first antihistamine. He earned three degrees at the University of Cincinnati: A.B. (1937), M.S. (1939), and Ph.D. (1940). While conducting research at UC, he developed a number of potential antispasmodic compounds. Benadryl, one of these compounds, showed promise as an anti-allergy drug and was first marketed in 1946 by Parke Davis. Rieveschl was named to the International Science and Engineering Hall of Fame in 1995.
First electronic organ – Winston Koch
Too young to be admitted to the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering, Winston Koch first enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Music, and never regretted it. When he turned sixteen he transferred to engineering and his undergraduate thesis revolutionized the music world. It was the invention of the electronic organ, the first to generate sound through small vacuum tubes, rather than massive pipes. This feat put an organ within reach of nearly every family that ever dreamed of owning one. His patent for the organ was the first of over eighty that he would receive throughout his career.
Joseph B. Strauss: Designer of the Golden Gate Bridge
An 1892 graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Joseph Strauss astonished the audience at graduation exercises by proposing to bridge the Bering Straits. After working in other firms, he formed his own company in 1902, eventually building more than 500 bridges, and earning 100 patents along the way. The Golden Gate project was the culmination of his career, and, for a time, it was the longest bridge in the world. Strauss placed a brick from UC's original McMicken Hall in the bridge's south anchorage. The bridge was completed in 1937. Strauss died in 1938.
First oral polio vaccine – Albert Sabin
Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of the oral, live virus polio vaccine, began his career in biomedical research in 1926 while still a student at New York University where he received his M.D. degree. He worked at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research from 1935-1939. From 1939 through 1969, Dr. Sabin was successively Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Professor of Research Pediatrics, and Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and The Children's Hospital Research Foundation.

History In Brief
The University of Cincinnati, Ohio’s premier urban research university, traces its origins to 1819, the year in which Cincinnati College and the Medical College of Ohio were chartered. In 1870, the City of Cincinnati established the University of Cincinnati, which later absorbed the earlier institutions. In 1906, the University of Cincinnati created the first cooperative education program in the United States. For many years, the University of Cincinnati was the second oldest and second largest municipal university in the country. In 1968, UC became a "municipally sponsored, state affiliated" institution, entering a transitional period culminating on July 1, 1977 when UC joined the university system of Ohio. The University of Cincinnati is classified as a Research University (Very High Research Activity) by the Carnegie Commission, and is ranked as one of America’s top public research universities by the National Science Foundation.
