The original small group was led by David Eisman, now a prominent Philadelphia pharmacist. In the years that followed the society has grown to become the strongest local pharmaceutical organization. Unique among college fraternities, Galen has an Alumni Chapter that exists as a separate unit and is very active in its own right. The war has had its effects both on the Alumni Chapter and on the Collegiate Chapter. Many of its members are in our Armed Forces, but the newly reorganized chapter and the alumni are determined to carry on, in the best way possible, until Victory is ours, whereupon present skeleton plans will mold themselves into a prominent National Society. The College Chapter has distinguishe d itself by aiding the March of Dimes Campaign and recruiting quite a number of blood donors for the Red Cross. In addition to the Temple Chapter, there are groups at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and in Pittsburgh.

... a reorganized american pharmaceutical association student Branch ... The condition of the world today has led to a serious consideration of the importance of an organization such as this, in which Temple students have participated. since February 15, 1939. In joining the American Pharmaceutical Association at this time, we are for an active part in the parent Pharmaceutical Association of America. Classroom and drugstore experience have taught us the duties of a pharmacist to the public, and to the physician. It is to help us prepare for the obligations of the pharmacist to pharmacy itself, that we now associate ourselves with this organization, whose aim is to advance the science and art of pharmacy. The parent group of American Pharmaceutical Association has been instrumental in stimulating and improving research methods; sound pharmaceutical education and training; developing cooperation between and other public health professions; and improving the status of pharmacists in the government service. We look forward. to becoming part of the graduate branch so that we may perfect and. enlarge our professional knowledge. For now, fully equipped, we shall contribute our share of time and energy to carry on the work of the organization and promote its welfare. MEMBERS Bernard Benjamin J.

Kappa Psi Fraternity Kappa Psi Fraternity was organized December 15, 1879, at the University of Virginia. Since that time it has grown to be the largest and most outstanding of pharmaceutical fraternities. There are eighty-one chapters of which forty-nine are collegiate, and thirty-two graduate chapters. Collegiate chapters are limited to colleges of Pharmacy recognized by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. The Beta Omega Chapter was organized in 1930. Since its organization the chapter has taken an active part in all school and fraternal activities. Due to the present conditions the enrollment has dropped considerably and the activities have been very limited.
