c .0 L U M B I A In tatrotf Qlitn Uttohttmta Vjimxu We Shall See Light in Your Light Our emblem is our ever-present guide ana friend. It tells us of the past and whispers of the future. Our emblem is the embodiment of our ideals and hopes. It tells the world we are here -- and who we are. Our emblem reminds us of our meaning as individuals and our purpose for each other. It is the vanguard of educational freedom. It affords us the right to and free use of knowledge. It is a torch of truth and enlightenment. In the dark, it is light. Our lives and acts will always honor this proud banner. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Choice ingredients, careful measure, skillful blending, controlled temperature, and exact time, all these and other pre- cautions still leave unanswered the ques- tion, How good is the product? And the proof of the pharmacist is in his practice. So, Class of ' 56, you ' re ready for the test. And each one of us, here at the Col- lege, will be watching closely, for your achievements are ours, and just as certainly, your problems ours. I hope that we have helped you to develop a curiosity and an open-minded- ness, and that we have preserved and enhanced your faith in our profession and your vision of its great stature, as wisely practiced. Your future is of your own choosing. Of one thing you can be sure, your college will continue to grow, and to ex- pand and improve its contributions to education and to public health. That ' s been the story for over a century and a quarter. A program that is never static but always subject to review and improvement in keeping with the needs and the oppor- tunities of the times. Very soon you will be able to share our happiness in a new home, uptown, equipped with an eye on the future. And I hope that everyone of you will always feel that the college is yours, that you will share with her your triumphs, and that you will take an active part, through alumni association participation, in shap- ing her destiny. Budget your time so that you can take part in alumni and college activities, in association work, and, a very important point, in your community affairs. A final practical matter, keep me up- to-date on your address changes. Best wishes to all. E. E.

Today we pause to honor the most noble, but too often neglected segment or ' the Pharmacy Profession, Our Teachers. No one can deny that the most vital and dynamic force in any field is the faculty of its teaching institutions, for it is this handful of people who unquestionably shapes the future. These are the professors and instructors who year after year strive to disseminate truth and whose constant quest for knowledge inspires all of us. An indication of the quality of the persons in the teaching profession can be seen by their reflection in Pharmacy itself. The teacher of today is mirrored in posterity by the students he sends forth and by the ideas and aspirations he instills in them. A casual glance at the rate of changes and advances being wrought in the profession is ample testimony to the success of these teachers. This year the yearbook recognizes two persons who have dedicated their lives toward the advancement of Pharmacy and the perpetuation of knowledge. If it is true that the spirit of professionalism is born in college, then these two have sent scores of souls through the portals of this college to advance the causes of Pharmacy. Those pharmacists who have studied under them are living memorials to their dedication and selflessness. If length of service was the measure of success they undoubtedly would be at the forefront, each having taught at C.U.C.P. for over 40 years. It is however their warm and gracious personalities and deep devotion to duty which have endeared them in the hearts of students and fellow faculty members alike. It is for all of these reasons that we wish to say, Professors Hart and Brown, the Class of ' 56 salutes you. 3 ■ Ol 9 4 Fanchon Hart— Professor of Biology— Ph. G., B.S., A.M. Lewis Nathan Brown— Professor of Pharmacy- Ph.G., Ph.Ch., Phr.D. Dr. M. Irene Bailey-B.S., M.S., Ph.D. She does not seek the limelight For she is modest, self-effacing; yes, even a little timid . . . yet, paradoxically, she radiates light in her quiet, majestic way; illuminating the halls of Columbia Uni- versity College of Pharmacy with her kindly presence. Of course, you know who she is . . . none other than Dr. Irene Bailey, more affectionately called Ma Bailey by the student body. The appel- lation is indicative of Dr. Bailey ' s quali- ties and of the love felt for her by the students. Ma . . . symbolic of an individual who is tender, sympathetic, toler- ant; with a well of understanding for the problems, trials and tribulations of youth . . . the inner conflicts; the doubts; the intense desire to make good dominant in each palpitating heart! How fortunate it is that the freshmen, upon entering C.U.C.P., young and eager, beset with anxieties, a little fearful of College, and over-awed by College Professors . . . that they have Dr. Bailey in their first year. From the moment a new student comes in to her class and gazes at the benign, pleasant face of Ma Bailey and sees the warmth exuding from her gentle blue eyes and her unassuming person-to-person manner of ap- proach . . . fears miraculously disperse and a warm glow permeates the being. Dr. Irene Bailey, we salute you, and nominate you for C.U.C.P. ' s Hall of Fame, where your name shall be inscribed for posterity, as you personify the teaching profession in its highest and noblest form . . . blending academic knowl- edge with humility and humanism, resulting in greatness!!!

Even- graduate has a lump in his throat, but we ' ve complained so much that nobody has guts enough to admit it. Alumni night a heart rendering collec- tion of tearful old grads as Drs. Brown and Hart are retiring after over four decades of teach- ing. All strings are off, and the class, previously dignified and sort of retiring, moves out of its collective shell. All hell breaks loose and we horse around with everybody. It was a great time, we had, wasn ' t it? All of a sudden, nobody wants to leave, but DER TAG finally arrives. Who ' s donating money to new building? Great discussion of reciprocity begins; if State Boards don ' t know what ' s what, how can we?

Only 3 or 4 guys come down to 9 A.M. Law classes. Poor little white rats get clobbered. White lab coats sprout wild sayings on the back, as Senior class gets a sandwich-man effect.

The Devil ' s juice we drink after the senior show- makes certain instructors be- come photographers. Over and out. CLASS PROCEDURE: Cards, spotless and loaded dice, scrab- ble, flavored hair tonic, cough medicine, Grandma ' s swingin ' , no sleep, blackmail pictures and then Indianapolis. A new caution in official compendia submitted by Alvin Golub: Never arouse, by vigor- ous shaking, a barbiturate taker. One good blow on the jaw may result. Ask the conductor. A hockey game, southern fried chicken, and then the calling of long lost cousins and friends, followed by a long line of chauffered Cadillacs in front of the Sheraton-Lincoln. Dick Soloway started counting the days. Good morning, it is now 7:00 A.M. How we soon came to despise this early morning greeting, so often followed by This is Mr. Baloon; the buses are waiting. Tired as we were, we were completely overwhelmed by machines that turned out millions of di and tri colored capsules, sealed ampules, and folded boxes, as well as by the results of Pharmacy in action. NOTE: Carry clothes pins when passing insulin and antibiotic sections. Liver . . . ugh! A song test and banquet which ended with the presentation of a scroll to Eli Lilly, a small speech by Dr. Weingold and the sweet refrains of Old Black Joe and Lucy ' s oldsmobile, then off to die night spots in town. Some of the heartier souls went to the follies and gave out with one big For he ' s a Horse ' s A . Roy Kuramoto ' s theme song . . . Hearts and Flowers. The evening soon ended and found many of us again standing in line. Jack Zweig certainly has a heart of gold. TRIP We knew it would eventually hap- pen: next day we were shipped to the farm. Jobs available for cow barbers and horse bleeders. Back on the train, a horn blowing ind noise maker party for Steve Botnick 3n his birthday. It was good to see the tall buildings of Chicago. The next day at Abbott Labs found us again awed by modem science. That evening the safari set forth through snow and sleet while Irwin and Ben stayed behind to build up pressure. Destination, the Burly Q. Once there, extra draft cards, drivers ' licenses and discharge papers were soon distributed (Al Konwaler-six foot three). But alas, there was a minimum . . . we left. A grand party in J.K. ' s room followed. Sight seeing and then back on the train. In the true Pharmacy 23-24 man- ner, under the supervision of Old Black Joe, hundreds of salami sandwiches and pickles were dispensed. That night we slept. Ah, what bliss. Some slept closer to heaven together with the baggage. At last Grand Central Station. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. A total of fifteen hours sleep and an average of ten pounds per person gained. 2. Lilly and Abbott are the tops in Pharmaceuticals and hospitalitv. 3. The C.U.C.P. profs, who joined us are really grand and 4. The class of ' 56 con- sists of a swell bunch of people. We had a wonderful time! ALPHA ZETA OMEGA Seated, I. to r.: Myron E.

SPORTS FRESHMAN— Athletic interest was high among the one hundred and seven freshmen who entered the antiquated halls of C.U.C.P. in the fall of 1952. Therefore, better than twenty of these frosh answered Coach Milt Schulman ' s (former N.Y.U. basketball great) call for basketball players. But of course, being but freshmen, they spent the greater part of the season on the bench learning the C.U.C.P. style. Spring came and brought with it the inter-class soft- ball games. Our big game, naturally, was against the sophomores and due to our class ' superiority in all positions, especially in the pitching of Ivan Glickman and the hitting of Ted Prince, we easily won. SOPHOMORE-The fall of ' 53 found the class of ' 56 completely dominating the basketball team. Joel Wil- entz, Mike Brody, Ted Prince, George Zografi and Dick Orkand held down the starting positions. The bench was covered by other sops-Steve Shapiro, Stu Nestampower and Bernie Gelbard, who eagerly and ably waited to do their share. At the first game of the season, cute little Anne Chirinos showed up in a cheerleading suit and the boys promptly beat St. John ' s. However, traveling to Brooklyn to prac- tice, and moreover not too often, the team succumbed more often than not to the bigger and better drilled teams of the rest of the Eastern Intercollegiate Phar- macy League. JUNIOR— Our Junior year brought the introduction of indoor miniature football to the school (even though the chairs kept getting in the way). Bowling also was introduced, on an interfraternity basis. The class of ' 56 contributed a major portion of the plav and D.S.T. Fraternity came out on top of the heap. Once more the basketball season rolled round. This season brought with it moderate success, however a very bright spot prevailed as one of our players, Joel Wilentz, was selected for an all-league player award. SENIOR— Our Senior year brought with it a great promise of the most successful athletic program yet. Our athletic director, Lloyd Elkowitz, set up a pro- gram which tried to give the widest possible latitude for student participation. An inter-class bowling tour- nament was set up, which was easily won by the senior bowling team of Slovin, Rabinowitz, Litskv, Shapiro and Ehrenberg. Our class again held down the starting positions on the basketball team, and at the time of this writing, has won all games played. Long hours in the labs, working nights and hard to reach facilities can do a great deal to prevent students from athletic participation. However, such conditions have not held down the members of the class of ' 56. Their determination to compete on the college level and their desire to do it well has set up an encourag- ing example for future classes to follow. APOTHEKAN Seated, I. to r.: Lloyd Elkowitz.

Zografi, Pres. of Columbia University, UYA USA. In another corner of the room is Professor Stern ' s advisor, Mr. H. Wolkoff, addressing Mrs. Hashinsky ' s gift to humanity— Mr. Fred Hashinsky, Ass ' t to the Dean. In another alcove of the hexagon, an adminis- trative conclave is taking place. This distinguished group includes Chief Lab Ass ' t Saul Lowitt; Julius Lampert, keeper of the files, and S. Schneiderman his able assistant. Sitting opposite them are Mr. Litsky, football coach; Mr. Swift, track coach, and Mr. Leavitt, tennis coach. Returning our attention to the Dean ' s office we find a helluvan argument going on between two departments. Speaking for the Pharmacy department is Sam Ehrenberg, Pro- fessor of electioneering. He is supported by Associ- ate Professor K. Auerbach, Senior Dispensing; Prof. Albert Ein Stein, Pharmaceutical Physics; Mr. Wachs, Dispensing and Stuff III; Prof. J. Zweig Keeping files and How to be an expert and Prof. G. Lew, B.M.O.C., B.S. The Pharmacy department claims the chemi- cals found in the chemistry store room belong to them.

Stone, Chemi- suitical Experience VI; Assistant Professor of Col- orimetry; S. Kadin and Prof. Gilner, Pseudo Ana- lytical Chemistry VIII. Those shrugging are Asst. Prof. Munies, Organic Chemistry III and Professor D. Gold, Quasi-Analytical Chemistry VIII.

Gelbard, Industrial Television and Dr. S. Nestampower, Gambling and Kismet. Passing the Philosophy department we over- hear a heated debate involving Prof. M.

The fourth floor comprises the Research wing where we meet the molders of the future: Dr. A. Goldberg, Modern Cough Syrups; Prof. H. Reiss, Secundem Artem; Mr. M. Cohen, Cosmetics; Profs. I. and M. Glickman, Lolabrigida Building (all great things are in pairs); Mr. Margulies, Worms and Germs; Prof. O ' Conner, Fermentation and Antibi- otics and Dr. A. Golub, DDS, How to Live with Dice. Admittance to the remaining floors is at your own risk (except for the student who has passed The Effect of Music on the Savage Beast as taught by Dr. B.

Katz, Anotomy of Katz II; Mr. H. Gluck, Films and Picturemaking and Mr. F. Cohen, The Art of Union Organization. Thank you, please visit us again soon and see Modern Pharmacy in Action. The hungry highschool crown ' ed heads now stripped of cap and gown of rank, Did swell the tributares of state, to flood the street of sixty-eight. For that most torrid noon foresaw the sheet that spoke; of NAMFi and DATE , Of bone and face in sag ' tal plane, for we to write and they to bank. Apollo ' s ball soon catching West recalled the weary supplicants, And lo, the river did reverse, to fill each rill emaciate. And yester ' kings but echoed thin, They also serve who stand and wait. Oh, curs ' ed wait that pilfers sleep and mocks the college applicant. Acceptance won, a year begun, here come the infantile, run, run, run. We wrote: My heart leaps up, when I behold some Wordsworth in the skies. We read and rode the CHILLing winds of Marx and Lenin ' s quest. We drank and tied a LASH OF love for open book and final test, And laughed HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS through a blond, a Schwartz, and cat ' s demise. We could predict with guarantee each quest of gracious Mar ' m ' s intent, And neophyte could pollinate the bryophyte most antiquate. Enwrapped in Aphrodite ' s cloak, which doth protect in blissful state The fatuous, we served the muses well, on dissipation bent. The yearlings free for Pharmacy. Run and get a job, boys, one, two, three. What ugly scent pollutes the air, asphyxiating nature ' s child? It reeks of sweat and work and strain. The gods are angry, thus to deal. What do these demigods recite, from pond ' rous monograph they spiel? By virtue of what fact doth esoteric man, of manner mild, Profess to delve Apollo ' s world? Oh, cease thy quest of Stygian shore! And, what of old Pythagoras; how proud would he have been to see His work so great enlarged, from merely X plus Y to 5 plus 3? And, was Sir Isaac less content with any students avid more? Upon my word, what do I see? These new-born thoughts do interest me! With calculated inhibition set, we bridged the span ' tween goose And erudite, when we o ' er threshed the sacred realm of would-be king. Another liege, with eyebrows three, declared insurance was the thing. While, ' midst the modern jungle, we engorged herbaceous gems abstruse. With alchemistic lore, not memorized, but recognized in time, Our valiant corps laid waste the horde of mice and frog and paid the bill. Corporeal and mercantile, still sad remained the bitter pill. And petty thief of knowledge, time, had rampant run on . . . pantomime. Hello Joe, whatknowest thou? I graduate a year from now. A laugh quite rare, a Dean so Swift, that drugs and such were almost nice. An assay with commercial air, precision samples deftly wrought, Was countered with a biophase whose quests of false and true fell short Of breaking hearts. Long honoured Queen and King who caused our split and splice No longer reign from this time hence, but in forget-me-nots remain, We tasted new and old in law and greased our skins with bold pretence, But little thought, from day to day, of worldly worth or sustenance. For, cradled thus in lofty thoughts, ideals are bread and tests are pain. June came ' round with state board fever: Study for the last time; study like a beaver. For maturation of a seed, one needs no fortune teller ' s ball For, Science knows the length in time. Which witches three could tell of thee? What fatalistic fool would dare to say, I know where I will be At 23, or Have our years of learning but prolonged the fall Of still predestined man? Let parting thoughts not lie with hollow gods, But, rather draw examples prior set. Aggressive Cassius knew That man and not a star directs his fate. Invictus said it, too. Let father ' s teaching not enslave your thoughts ere decade nods. Goodbye, for now, my finger sticks. See you again, in ' 66. I? 78 DEVELOPMENT OFFICE 3 80 Pharmacy as a profession is having greater and more diversified demands made upon it today. Because of the growing and ever-widening horizons of new develop- ments in the drug field, the individual and community needs and requirements have in- creased. An expanding population requires more health service, and prescriptions call for many of the new drugs as well as the old ones. The Pharmacist must be well trained and possess the ability to com- pound, to dispense and understand the use of these drugs. His need for professional knowledge must be much more compre- hensive with the advent of many new drugs and the continuous development of others. The College of Pharmacy is embarked on a major program to expand its curriculum and service not only to meet the widening horizons of Pharmacy but also to prepare its graduates to better serve their communities as citizens and professional men. One of the academic needs today is to recognize that the training in the fundamentals of Pharmacy should fit the graduate for service in many related fields, and the College is revising its curriculum to carry out effectively, the preparation required for service in the specialized fields of Pharmacy. The present building of the College of Pharmacy is not adequately equipped nor is it fully capable of meeting the modern-day needs of Pharmacy. Extensive plans to change this situation have been made. The new College of Pharmacy building will enable the college to develop fields of specialization for which that educational institution will be particularly fitted . . . and become a source of information and fact finding for the profession of Pharmacy. Strengthening and augmenting the School will be a new, powerful research and teaching arm— THE RESEARCH INSTITUTE— an instrument for research on the highest professional level. This Institute will be an organiza- tion which will cooperate with all segments of Pharmacy. The work of the Research Institute will bring to industry the advantages of new knowledge derived from basic inquiry which can mean better production and distribution. Many phases of the program of the Research Institute will provide direct benefits to Pharmacy in greater sources of new fundamental knowledge and trained men. In today ' s world, man ' s aspirations for better life, peace and security, health and well being are unalterably linked with Pharmacy. Joseph L.
