QBEIIII nf Eippnrratea
I swear by Apollo, the physician, by Hisculapius, by I-Iygeia, by
Panacea, and by the gods and goddesses, calling them to witness that accord-
ing to my ability and judgment I will in every particular keep this, my oath
and covenant: To regard him who teaches this art equally with my parents,
to share my substance, and, if he be in need, to relieve his necessities, to
regard his offspring equally with my brethren: and to teach his art if they
shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation, to impart a knowledge by
precept, by lecture, and by every other mode of instruction to my sons, to
the sons of my teacher, and to pupils who are bound by stipulation and Oath,
according -to the law of medicine, but to no other.
I will use that regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, shall
be for the welfare of the sick, and I will refrain' from that which shall be
baneful and injurious. If any shall ask me a drug to produce death, I will
not give it, nor will I suggest such counsel. In like manner I will not give
to a woman a destructive pessary. Vlfith purity and holiness -will I watch
closely my life and my art. I will not cut a person who is suffering from a
stone, but will give way to those who are practitioners in this work. Into
whatever houses I shall enter, I will go to aid the sick, abstaining from every
voluntary act of injustice and corruption, and from lasciviousness with
women or men - free or slaves. . VVhatever in the life of men
I shall see or hear, in my practice or without my practice, which should not
be made public, this will I hold in silence, believing that such things should
be spoken. . Vtfhile I keep this, my oath,
inviolate and unbroken, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and my art,
forever honored by all men, but should I by transgression violate it, be mine
the reverse

A school or college is a complex having many parts with differing
functions. There is the building in which it is housed and containing its
material equipment, the board of trustees holding 'title to its property and
clothed with many responsibilities, the faculty, which is charged with the
work of instruction: the student body, for the sake of which the institution
exists, and its alumni, for if these are organized in some way and interested
in its affairs they may greatly aid its work and promote its success, and
should be counted as a very material part of the institution when regarded
as a whole. As with every organism, its healthfulness and efhciency will
depend upon the integrity of its correlated parts. The school exists for its
students, and if these are earnest, ambitious and imbued with the scholarls
instinct, they are, in any of the higher or technical institutions, co-workers
with their instructors, seekers after knowledge and lovers of wisdom, and
not as children who are placed under guardians or driven by taskmasters.
Anything, therefore, that tends to promote solidarity, a true fellowship,
and real community of interests in the student body, is beneficial to its
members and to the institution as a whole. And so fam very glad that
the Senior Class in this school has decided to issue an f'Annual H such as is
published by the students in many colleges. The action is spontaneous, and,
being so, is indicative of a real interest in the life and work of the school
and a desire to promote and maintain a proper class feeling and a legitimate
and praiseworthy college spirit. There is a "college spirit 'i which is
childish in its essence and harmful, rather than helpful, in its ends and aims.
If college pride or class feeling magnines that which is unimportant and
ephemeral, and does not concern itself with the real work ofthe institution
in some essential way, it is misdirected and unlikely to be productive of any
good results. But there are many class activities which are manly and not
childish, and which tend to promote a closer union between student and
teacher, whose aims and interests are identical, if so be they are correctly
understood. An annual like TITHE ALEBIIKIC, while issued by the class, has
a semi-ofhcial status, and should promote a still closer union between the
student body and the teaching staff Such closer union being from every
point of view desirable in institutions like schools of pharmacy, the work of
IO
which is essentially practical, rather than disciplinary, preparatory or
cultural, the Faculty of the Albany College of Pharmacy cordially approve
this new undertaking and wish it abundant and lasting success.
Amo-ng the fanciful conceits of the alchemists which have survived in
our latter-day scientihc terminology was this,- that the volatile part
evolved, as by heat, from material substances, was the essence or spirit of
such substance. "All bodies," says Bacon, Uhave spirits and pneumatical
parts within them." Such terms as " spirit of wine " survive, and it was
in retorts or alembfcs that the separation of the ethereal part was effected.
The vessel is obsolete, but the name " alembic 'l remains, and it has passed
into literature typifying that which refines and frees the rarer and essential
from the grosser and material substance. And so we think the name chosen
for this publication to be suggestive of the true aim of all education, which
is the separation of the higher from the lower, the exaltation of the spirit,
and a rehning that is real and substantial, and not specious or delusive like
an external polish, which, being superficial, merely may deceive for a time,
but cannot long endure.

LECTURE HAALL
F5112 Qlullegr
A College of Pharmacy is supposed to educate its students in all that
pertains to the care, handling, preparing and dispensing of drugs and medi-
cines, on the orders and prescriptions of physicians, and to supplying the
public with such of these agents as maybe necessary for their comfort and
use, without the advice of a physician.
The calling of a pharmacist differs from all other pursuits in iwhich men
engage. The substances in which he deals are potent for good or injury.
Many of the most valuable medicines are active poisons, when improperly
used, and it is necessary for the protection of the public that a knowledge
of these agents be obtained.
This education includes Chemistry, the science of the composition of
matter, Pharmacy, the art of preparing and compounding medicines, and
Materia Medica, that branch of medical study which deals with drugs, their
sources, preparation and uses. These are the major subjects which the
student must thoroughly comprehend. There are minor subjects, some
knowledge of which is necessary. These are Physics, the study of the laws
and phenomena of nature, but especially of forces and the general properties
of matter, botany, the science of plantsg Physiology, the science which treats
of the functions of living organisms, pharmaceutical arithmetic, relating
mainly to percentage and proportion, pharmaceutical latin, relating to the
written prescription, pharmaceutical jurisprudence, relating to the laws gov-
erning the conducting of pharmaciesg and now a knowledge of business
methods. These are minor subjects, but this does not mean that they are
of little value, only that they are of less value than the major subjects.
T Of these subjects, organic Materia Medica and Botany seem to be the
least attractive to students. 'The reason for this apparent lack of interest
may possibly lie in the fact that the substances in these two courses are
familiar to everyone, they are in daily contact with them and why should
they not know all about them? '
This is a false conception of these agents. I have yet to know of a
student who honestly begins investigation along these lines, who does not
soon become intensely interested in roots, rhizomes, barks, leaves, seeds and
plants. An examination of phytolacca shows a formation of its cellular and
fibrous tissues similar to and yet decidedly different from pareira. The
leaf of digitalis. so very distinctive in its wooly surface and boldness of its
framework, valerian and veratrum, both rhizomes and rootlets, of almost
equal size and shape and color, yet with distinctions enough to at once
differentiate them.
I8
The plant world is possessed of life and activity, is constructed in
accordance with fixed laws, is capable of producing only its kind, each plant
retaining its essential characteristics and capable of being classified just as
exactly as the animal kingdom. Wfhy should they not be intensely interest-
ing to all who make a study of them? .
ls it not the way one approaches these subjects that determines their
interesting phase or the opposite? Let one enter upon these courses with
honest and persevering effort and they will soon become as attractive as
other branchesof pharmaceutical education. A. B. H.
As the years have passed, as I have perisisted in my attempt to teach
a minimum of microscopy and pharmacognosy to a maximum of students in
pharmacy, a query has with ever-increasing frequency forced itself to the
front until it has at last occupied the head of the line-and that interro-
gation, that erotem which marks our occasional meetings, says with ever-
increasing emphasis- " is it worth while? "
Annually Qwith the addition of a few " hardy perennials "Q I see before
me a goodly class of sensible young people, a majority of them direct from
the high school, who have come to our school avowedly to make preparation
for their life work. So-me of these earning the money themselves, either in
whole or in part, to pay for their tuition, others at the cost of more or less
sacrifice on the part of parents or friends. Year by year is enacted the
selfsame tragedy, or, so far as microscopy is concerned, the same old comedy
by a hundred or more intelligent young people who with but a few excep-
tions seem to care for but little ibut " getting byf' of escaping as easily as
possible from the censorious teacher who has been set over them.
Failing to realize that the mediocre is the enemy of the best, that the
world is crowded with individuals whose whole life is one steady round of
" getting byg " that in every walk in life the majority of persons manage to
satisfy themselves with doing work that will enable them to " get by,', with
those who are content if their work vvill let them draw their salaries and
not be dropped from the pay roll, that the great successes in this life are as
a rule the result of earnest, honest effort rather than the possession of genius,
they are satisned to be far less than they could or ought to be.
19
In part the reason is the spirit of the times, for it must be confessed
that to a degree this same concept is prevalent in almost every walk in lifeg
in part to the system of education now popular, which is content with the
student's " passing " many courses of which he knows but little or nothing
when he has finished, a system which wastes his time over 'isms and lologies,
few of which he is ever likely to use and finally graduates him unable to
spell, scarcely able to write and totally unfamiliar with " the rule of three,"
and in part it is not unlikely to the inadequacies of the instructor himself.
That my words may not seem to you to be merely my habit of mind,
let me quote in closing the words of the head of one of the most famous
" prep " schools in this country, " The boy who starts in at a ' prep' school
or anywhere else with a policy of ' getting by 3 will have a lot of reforming
to do if ever he gets where he ought to go. ' Getting by' stands at one
extremeg Emerson's dictum ' Hitch your wagon to a star' stands at the
other."

"Hello, there! Have a good summer?" 'I Where were you work-
ing? " " 'Where are you rooming? " Such were the remarks heard around
the Albany College of Pharmacy on the twenty-eighth day of September,
nineteen hundred and nfteen. Eagle street rang with the sound of students'
feet, and the residents awoke from their slumber to another winter of noise
and hastening figures.
Un this great day the Seniors. returning from their summer practice,
greeted each other hilariously and were greatly envied by the quiet, fresh
new juniors who stood one side and looked jealously on, as jokes and
summer experiences were told among the upper classmen.
Over in one corner stood a long, lank youth, with dark hair and eyes,
bearing a certain dignined air and look which - well, he has lived up to that
air and look, for he is our Valedictorian. " Polly " was always quiet and
dignihed, although the boys do say he isn't always so quiet. This year he
has played on our basketball team and, as always, ranked well.
Near the door, sitting up on that shelf known to all because it was here
where "Doc" Huested placed all our checks, bills and love letters, were
three girls. They looked very timid and retiring. Time has shown us,
however, that they were not so, but were overcome by the aged and learned
Seniors. Two were sisters and the other-our beloved " Bill Taft."
This, our first day at college, was spent in enrolling and becoming
acquainted with rooms, boarding houses and fellow students. In the even-
ing " Opening " took place, and the juniors were very noticeable by their
presence and the Seniors by their absence that first night. Dr. Tucker
welcomed the old and new students back, and Dr. Huested and Prof. Dillen-
back spoke to us also. Our Microscopy teacher, Dr. Dawes, gave a very
interesting talk which was rather misleading to us poor juniors, for he gave
us the impression that we were going to have a wonderful time in his classes.
VVe did-yes, if we did just exactly as he told us. VVe certainly were a
trial to him. A man we all grew to respect was present, but as usual said
little. This was always his wayg still he accomplished a great deal and
was always a friend indeed whenever one was in need of an advisor.
Taken all in all, our nrst day at college was a success, and the next day
we took up the regular work of the college and welcomed the new men who
23
kept coming throughout the week. " Betty" Noonan arrived our first day
of real school and was some addition to the class. Don't you think so,
Armstrong, even if she does steal your towels in Lab? Ruby Lupton
arrived later on from a small town which she says " doubles its size in
summer." VVe wish to ask Ruby how large it is in winter.
Cn October 30th we organized, and on November 5th elected the follow-
ing officers: Munger, President, Quinlan, First Vice-President, Murphy,
Second Vice-President, Cunningham, Secretary, and Scott, Treasurer.
Before Christmas the meetings were devoted to our one great social event
of the year, The Dance! It was held at The Ten Eyck, and surely was
some dance. ,lust before Christmas we had our much dreaded midyears.
They were hard, but on returning from our good times very few were
disappointed in the results, and we went on from day to day enjoying life
and wading through Inorganic Chemistry and the rest of our studies. Many
of us shook and trembled on entering the domain of Dr. Dawes, not know-
ing what was to come forth, yet hardly daring to cut, others had a fear in
Chemistry Lab., still others were on tenter-hooks in " Math." or Botany.
The Lord gave each one a different mass of gray matter! Prof. Scudder in
Latin was a treat, and his 'K l-log Latin," as he terms Pharmacy Latin, was
not so hard for us to master.
As spring drew near we Juniors grew uneasy and longed for the finals
and summer practice, while the Seniors began to wear strained and worried
looks. The finals were on us at last, and then such a rushing and packing
and hurried medley of good-byes! Wfe were off, hoping that the little notes
we expected during the summer would be assuring.
The months passed all too quickly, and on the twenty-seventh of Sep-
tember we were again back in the old college, renewing acquaintanceships
and settling back in the old routine. All the girls were back, but some of
the boys had stayed out for a year, while others were to join the new Junior
Class. At opening exercises we lived up to tradition because many of us
were noticeable by our absence. '
This year we had Prof. Dillenback with us, and to most of us he
loomed as Atilla. No one ever fell asleep in his lectures, if they did they
didnlt sleep long. l-le made his lectures interesting. with here and there
a touch of dry humor which none of us will forget.
Early in the year the class reorganized and elected the following officers:
Stoetzel, Presidentg Miss Noonan, First Vice-Presidents Murphy. Second
Vice-President, Miss Griffin, Secretary, Smith, Treasurer, Barrett, Marshal,
and Hess, Historian.
24
Midyears and Christmas vacation hurried along, and we returned to
find our marks posted conspicuously in the hall. Some were disappointed,
but as a whole the class was happy, for Dr. Tucker told us that, taken on
an average, the Junior and Senior marks were the best the college had
produced for years.
Our spirits fell, however, after Prof. Dillenback hurled his midyear
exam at us in February. Only eighteen passed, and the remainder of the
class set frantically to work vowing a wonderful mark in the linal.
But I am ahead of my story, for the .luniors tendered the Seniors a
dance at The Ten Eyck I-lotel in January, and it certainly was a great
success. Many thanks to our under classmates. Another important event
happened before that dreadful quizz. The Class of IQIO decided to launch
forth and edit a class book. ' Indeed, we were growing and broadening out.
After February everyone seemed to settle down to steady grind, and
here and there groups would form in hall, lecture room or library and
Materia Medica, Pharmacy or Chemistry would be the engrossing theme
instead of theaters, dances and various other outside topics. Once in a
while, however, Ruth would break forth and play us a tune on her comb
or sing us a snatch of the latest song hitg 'L VVhit" would imitate our
beloved Faculty, Swain would manage a dance all his own, or, better still,
they would all get started and make a regular racket until, with knowing
smile and kindly word, " Pop H would bring the performance to a close.
'XVe are all sure Charles was glad summer was coming, for to him
winters meant shoveling snow and coal, sometimes all night long. Cheer
up, Charlie, if you have to shovel so much here perhaps you will be let off
in the next world.
VVell, those examinations were on. Wfe set with wrinkled forehead and
pencil scribbling, stopping now and then to scratch our heads and gaze
earnestly out of the window, hoping to see the answer there, we gathered
in excited groups outside the examination room door and nearly came to
blows over answers which differed, we studied some more and groaned,
and racked our brains still more until at last they were over. Over, yes,
but the marks! Vtfe waited as patiently as overwrought humans can until
at last the day came along and we found to our joy that we were through
in spite of the seeds, leaves, hydrocarbons, pills, aleurone grains and
formulae.
The great day arrived at last and a new batch of pill rollers were sent
forth into the world to kill or cure.

DEWITT B. ARMSTRONG, Iillf
Middletown, N. Y.
" Danby "
Middletown High School
It is hard to hnd words to express our
feelings toward Danby. Since he entered
the Albany College of Pharmacy his course
has been marked by his active interest in
all college affairs and his earnest pursuit of
his studies. However, we have noticed a
change in him of lateg he has been having
considerable trouble with a misplaced eye-
brow. In fact, the thing has developed so
that it is even noticeable in his picture. lt
grieves us very much, too, for we cannot
understand why Dauby ever should allow
anything like that to mar his otherwise
handsome face. WVe have been hearing
rumors, too, of late, about a little girl back
in Middletown who has been watching

George is one of our northern members

cially Pharmacy, very seriously. On 21
recent State Board examination for Drug-
gist he first tried the examination for Phar-
macist, and then, on hnding his mistake,
wrote out the Druggist exam. Such merit
certainly deserves reward. Even though
George does like a little nap occasionally
he has the making of a very efhcicnt Phar-

when there is a basketball game or dance

Albany and all his friends in a few short

he does tear himself away he will take
with him our best wishes for future success.

Some time back in the dim and distant
past a train pulled out of the North Creek
station and Kenneth Swain embarked upon
his college career. Perhaps we should say
he was on his way to college as he had not
yet enrolled on the college register. How-
ever, "Swan" landed in Albany and was
soon a full fledged student at A. C. P.
l'Ken,' is certainly a fortunate boy. Last
year he had the pleasure of spending his
Xmas vacation at the Albany City Hospital,
and during his visit there had his ap-
pendix removed. Of course, the nurses
fairly adored him and we understand that
there is one particular young lady that Ken-
neth would rather let take care of him than
anyone else. VVhat it is all going to come
to time only can tell, but when Kenneth
gets that drug store up at North Creek he
will probably tell us all about it. However,
we feel quite certain that with all his other
duties, Kenneth will find time once in a
while to recall the happy days spent at
the Albany Pharmacy College.

what contrary to "lVhit's" doctrine.

" Fink" is one of the best natured boys we have in our class. Always has a smile

tains the whole class with some new popular song. Lester is quite popular with the
ladies and of late has attended a number of dances. 'iFink" says these leap year
parties are certainly line, and he does not see why February cannot just as well have
twenty-nine days every year. He really is a very good dancer, and we can readily
understand why he is in such demand. Xhfe are somewhat surprised to hear that
"Fink'f is a frequent visitor at the different cabarets about town. VVe are sorry to
hear such reports, and if they are true we shall have to reprove Lester for his mis-
conduct. But with all his faults we all like him, and hope he will enjoy many years
of the popularity he has attained. lfVe can easily see that UFink" was cut out for the
high life he loves, and do not understand why he ever chose Pharmacy for a profession.

attained great renown as a musician, so we understand from the people on Jay street.

to recitations "Hank" comes out with flying colors, but occasionally, when deep in
thought, statistics show " Hank " is inclined to shorten his nnger nails by means
other than a lile or pen knife. But who will not admit " Hank " isnlt on the square,
strictly so, for a squarer lad never rolled a pill. And l'Hank's" ability as a pill-
roller needn't be questioned. But Henry's favorite stunt is doing double work in
Chem. Lab. Wfe know he likes it and is sorry this is only a short year. But all in all,

what town the future 'tMrs. Van" is located. but as a suggestion we might say
that " Van " goes to Florida every summer. "Van,s " ability to do two things at one
time is demonstrated by the accuracy with which he jots down lecture notes while

and testament, as follows:
First: To the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen we do

transparent the above. Also we leave said Charlie one oil heater for each
lecture room.
Fifth: To the Seniors of the years to come we do bequeath the knowl-
edge, gained only by bitter experience, that to bandy words with Prof.
Dillenback or Dr. Dawes means certain defeat and humiliation.

the Alemibic, and all the duties pertaining thereto, with our injunction that
they be slighted not, and that all precedents and customs established be
observed and continued.
Seventh: To the usual occupants thereof we leave the halls with the

bers of the Class of Nineteen Sixteen we leave the facultyg all persons hold
this interesting piece of school property in reverence befitting to its dignity.
Tenth: To the college we leave our class gift as a slight mark of the
honor, respect and affection in which we hold this institution and those
connected therewith.

The history of our class is, no doubt, like the history of all junior
Classes in a great many respects. Some of us came here, perhaps, because
our ancestors dids some of us because many of our friends are graduates
of A. C. P., some of us because our fathers before us were druggists or
pharmacists, but all of us came here from choice of profession.
The majority of us were entire strangers to each other, but as the
first semester came to a close we were quite well acquainted and class
officers had been elected. As in all elections there was quite a bit of feeling
and the following officers were elected: Mr. XN'endsley, President, Mr.
Barton, Vice-President, Miss Naumauf, Secretary, Mr. Lindsay, Treasurer.
Shortly after the midyears a committee was appointed for the animal
Pharmacy Ball. Mr. Lossa was appointed chairman with Messrs. Barton,
Wlright, Hoffman and Galloway to assist. The dance was held in the
Pink Room of the Ten Eyck Hotel, Zita's Orchestra furnishing the music.
To the Class of 1917 belongs the credit of giving the best Pharmacy Ball in
several years.
VVe are now near the close of our first year, half way to the goal which
we all hope to win. In this short time we have, in our poor way, tried to
master the perplexing problems of up-to-date Pharmacy and Chemistry,
some of us to a greater extent than others, but all of us have learned the
one great lesson, namely-to love our Alma Mater.

After spending the summer vacation at our homes, we came back to
resume our work and to make our last year in college as successful and
Jrohtable as Jossible, both for ourselves and our cha ter.
l l
On the evening of November 16, 1915, Beta Delta entertained the
members of the junior Class at a " smoker." The class was well represented
and all expressed themselves as having passed a very enjoyable evening.
Prof. Wfilliam A. Larkin. one of our facultate members, spoke on " The
Benefits Derived from Fraternalismf' All were impressed by the Profes-
sor's earnest and direct address. The Social Committee, consisting of
Brothers Newton, Carter, Stillson and Hess, were responsible for the success
of the evening's entertainment. Punch, cigars and cigarettes were enjoyed.
Many events of note have taken place during the year, and now, as THE
.FXLEMBIC goes to press, arrangements are in progress for our annual banquet,
which is to be held March 20 at Stanwix Hall, celebrating the sixth anni-
versary of Beta Delta. As this is the crowning event of the year, we are
all striving to make this the best ever.
As the college year draws to a close the many good times enjoyed as
brothers of Kappa Psi are brought more clearly to mind. These events will
always remain bright in our memory.
Congratulations are to be offered the brothers for the good work done
during the year and their earnest support of Beta Delta. All unite in wishing
Beta Delta and its members a very successful future.
