Y.; Came to Albany in 1852; Received early education in public schools and Albany Academy, and in 1856 entered the drug business as a clerk; Entered Albany Medical College in i860 and pursued his studies there until the outbreak of the Civil War. He was appointed Medical Cadet in 1862 and left with his regiment for the front. He still pursued his studies, and in December, 1863, received his diploma from the Albany Medical College. He passed the examinations of the Military Board and received a com- mission as Assistant Surgeon, U. S. A. He was detailed to the Twenty- First New York Cavalry, then operating in the Shenandoah Valley. Here he saw active service with his Regiment until the close of the war, when it was ordered West, to guard the Overland Stage route. In 1866 he was mustered out, and returning home, entered the practice of medicine, but Ins love for pharmacy caused him to leave medicine, and in 1868 he opened a pharmacy, which lie conducted until 1900. In 1883 he accepted the chair of Materia Medica and Botany in the Albany College of Pharmacy.

Not many years ago in this state any person might keep a drug-store, there was no licensing of pharmacists, and attendance upon colleges of pharmacy was entirely volitional, for their diplomas con- ferred no special privileges and were not essential to the securing of a license to practice. But all this is changed and the would-be pharmacist nowadays must pass not only such preliminary examinations as are neces- sary to obtain his entrance certificate, and the various examinations of the school as well, but also a state board examination in order to obtain the license which permits him to do business as a pharmacist. And so it is all along the line, from the ash gatherer and tlie, milkman to the trained nurse, druggist and doctor, and finally to the undertaker who disposes of us after all examinations, inspections and licensings are passed, all these ministers to our various wants and daily necessities are controlled by that impersonal fiction that we call the state. And this supervision of the people by the people, and, presumably, for the people’s good, has necessitated the creation of bureaus, boards and departments innumerable, with a vast horde of employees of many grades and varying dignities, the whole making up a great bureaucracy, patterned after those existing in many foreign coun- tries, but unknown in this land of the free until a comparatively recent date. Now to many people, and indeed to most people at first sight, it seems that al! this state supervision must be of advantage to the public, and that it marks a distinct advance in our civil affairs. The regulation of trades and professions, we are told, is in the public interest, and fixation, rigid classification and standardization of the different occupations results in increased efficiency and greater economy in operation. No doubt there is some truth in this, hut, in the institution of reform measures, we are prone to go to extremes, and the worth of our methods should be judged by their results, and our mistakes corrected in the light of experience. Tf mistaken methods are allowed to harden into a rigid formalism the gravest abuses may result. Intelligent criticism, and proper protest against real evils and threatening dangers in our governmental policies, are always in order and are often effectual. 17 l Now, in our educational affairs and in the regulation of the professions two dangers threaten us: too much control by the state, whose right to control is conceded, and too much interference by voluntary associations and endowed corporations possessing no right of control whatever and hav- ing no jurisdiction at all. State control, and reference is made more par- ticularly to New York State and to professional schools, begins with the registration of the schools based upon inspection. The results are often misleading, because the foot-rule, inventory, and time-table method of appraisal cannot properly be applied to such institutions. Size and value of buildings and equipment; amount of invested funds; number of books in libraries.; number of teachers and salaries paid,— such measurements as these give little indication of the work done by an institution. “ The price of wisdom is above rubies,” and material things cannot impart knowledge. Mere piles of brick and mortar arc nothing; books are of no value unless used, and material magnificence of equipment may hinder rather than pro- mote scholarship. And yet we arc very apt to gauge the worth and work of a school by these material measurements. Such a method is radically wrong and needs amendment, but the unwarranted interference of the Carnegie Foundation in “our educational affairs has done much to fasten this vicious system upon us. And, as concerns the students, state control begins with their entrance to the professional school, establishing a preliminary education requirement, prescribing the length of the course, and the character of the instruction, and requiring the possession of certain credentials from some listed insti- tution prior to admission to a final and licensing examination. Thus is use provided, not for reels nor spools, but for bales of red tape, and thus are places created for inspectors, examiners, clerks and heads of depart- ments in ever increasing numbers. To what end! — we may well pause occa- sionally to inquire. Students are sometimes held back for a year because they fail to dot their i’s or cross their t’s to the satisfaction of some fussy examiner. A few years ago, when the writer was registrar of a medical school, one of lyis most brilliant pupils was held back, and all but driven from the state to complete his education because, being a foreigner and as such required lo pass an examination in second year English to obtain his medi- cal student certificate, his paper did not suit the examiner. He spoke, good English, and wrote it properly and like an educated man, but not like a native, and it wasn't good enough for the examiner. He will, in all proba- bility, be a distinguished man while those who placed such obstacles in his way are still slaving away at their thankless tasks. The fact should be better 18 recognized than il is that the examination system is a very imperfect one for determining proficiency and serviceahleness, and that it should be em- ployed. not mechanically, mathematically and arbitrarily, but intelligently, judiciously and judicially. Il is absurd to allege that a man’s fitness to practice pharmacy or medicine should be determined by an arithmetical differentiation between 74.9 and 75.0. And yet such distinctions may take a year of useful service out of a man's life. Plato and Socrates are held to have been great teachers, but they probably would not Ire admitted to an examination for a teacher’s license in our public schools to-day, and cer- tainly the “ academies ” of the greatest teachers the world has known would not be registered under our present laws. It may he said that the ends attained justify the means employed, but some of us who have been engaged in teaching many years do not feel very sure that this is the case. Latter-day methods place too much emphasis upon size and wealth, and encourage the larger, but discourage the smaller, institutions and make it harder for the poor «nan, or even the man of moderate means, to enter the professions. Tt needs no marshalling of sta- tistics to show that the richest of our F.astern schools and universities are, to the student, the most expensive, and as the smaller institutions are dis- credited and crowded out the poor man’s chances are diminished. This is often denied, but every' teacher knows that it is true. Exceptions there arc to all rules, and opportunities exist here and there for men of excep- tional ability, though poor, to secure an education and entrance to the professions, but for the average man the chances arc rapidly diminishing. A few weeks ago the writer was discussing professional education with two lawyers and a relative of one, who was a university teacher, and one of the lawyers said to the other. “ Why, judge, if the requirements when you and T studied law had Been what they arc now neither you nor I would be in the profession,” and the statement was agreed to by the gentleman addressed. And if it be said that, in the various professions, the average ability of the members is greater, and their fitness to render useful service is superior by reason of their better supervised and regulated training, and that the moral tone of the rank and file has been elevated by our examining, registering and licensing methods, there are many educators whose memory is long enough to go back three or four decades who would be unwilling to assent to such a view. The time is coming when some of these matters will be re-examined, and the advisability of restricting indivdual liberty in many directions in which it is now controlled by legislative enactments, will he called into question. W. G. T. 19 A Parting Hurt� in thr (Hians nf 1917 There is seldom a more inspiring sight than a group of young people, boys and girls, gathered in an institution, for one common purpose, that of preparing themselves to go forth into the world to begin life’s work. Nor is there a more responsible position than that of one who undertakes to guide and instruct such a body. The success of such work does not lie on one side alone. There must be union of purpose and effort to accomplish the best results. The student who does not appreciate this fact, does not come up to the full measure or attainment that he is supposed to desire, nor can the teacher who does not appreciate his responsibility and is not inspired by the young faces before him, render good and efficient service. There jmust be a union of purpose and concerted action to secure best results. The Class of 1917 is nearing the time of departure from its Alma Mater, and the future life of each member will reveal to what extent this period of instruction has been utilized. Two years have passed since we came together as student and teacher. The relations have been very pleasant. We have come to know each other well, our good and poorer equalities. Some of you have exceeded expecta- tions in your application to the work which was before you; some have not come up to what was promised at the beginning. Each one will have approval or lack such in themselves. If there are those who feel that they might have been more persevering in their efforts and it acts as a stimulus for the future, it will prove of value, and many there are who I know will have a satisfaction, if not pride in reviewing the past because of attainments secured. The future will soon begin to spread out before you and the position you may occupy, either as principal or assistant, will to some extent at least, call upon you to apply knowledge acquired. The pharmacist can and should assume a position in the community where he resides of an advisory and helpful character. This he can do by applying the knowledge for the conduct of his work. To-day this work, by force of circumstances, is of a mixed character, part commercial, and, I am sorry to say, far too small a part professional. It is to be hoped that you have a love for your work. If you have not and are in it solely as a means of livelihood or for the position it gives you, you will not contribute 20 to tlie advancement and upholding of a high standard in the pharmaceutical world. Some of you may use the knowledge acquired here as a foundation for more advanced work in this or closely allied lines. All must realize that the end of your present work is only the beginning of a broader and more extended field of labor. You cannot remain stationary, you must either advance or fall behind. There may be some who are of opinion that they are not by nature or surrounding conditions on an equality with others, it is not always those who appear to, and in fact may have advantage over others, who succeed to the greatest extent. The world is wide; the outlook and opportunities are greater than ever; in all probability just as good in your environment as in some distant locality. The race is not always to the strong and swift. A consistent and persistent purpose, slow in pursuit it may he, will in all cases bring no small measure of satisfaction and success. Allow me to urge you to hold fast what ydtf'have obtained, and deter- mine to add to it. always bearing in mind that your Alma Mater stands ready at all times to aid in every possible way. A. B. H. 21 i urrpsa The great secret of success in life is to be prepared when opportunity knocks at your door. There is nothing quite so persistent as that inward voice ever reminding us, ever persuading us to improve those opportunities that are prevalent throughout our entire life. Then you must be prepared at all times to forge ahead, to grow up and reach out. That man who asserts that he has no opportunity within his scope must be miserable, fighting his own conscience and crushing that voice within him. Now is the time, when youth favors you, chances await you and ambition calls you to grow strong in knowledge and make good every chance in your path. It is the one great opportunity of your whole life, and if you improve this one many others are bound to follow, but if you disregard it your chances are simply lost forever. Some people are of the opinion that an opportunity is a goldcti thing, untangible in a way, and its forthcoming is announced by trumpet blasts. .Such people wander through life indifferently awaiting that chance to come and lay itself at their feet. To such people that chance will never come. They do not seem to realize that these “ chances ” always exist and that an eligible person is the chief requisite in filling the bill. In other words, one must “ produce the goods to hold down the job.” There are so many “ live wires ” these days that you must continually go ahead, learn something new, keep up with the times or you will be forced to retreat into the hazy background. Once you stop, remember, someone else is catching up with you or else getting ahead of you. If you wish to he a success in the twentieth century, you must elbow by your competitors in the alleyways of life. We men of the twentieth century are divided into three classes: Those who are horn rich, those who acquire riches, and those who have riches thrust upon them. Generally those who are fortunate enough to be of the first class invest their fortune profitably under the supervision of their wise fathers, who perhaps accumulated the wealth ; or else squander it and, having no available means of acquiring a similar fortune, the door of opportunity is barred against them. The second class comprises the man of the hour. The man who is sought after. The progressive, energetic man; the alert, wideawake man, to whom all in turn must bow. He is the man who believed the great reward was not 22 for him who strived to lighten his burdens, but for him who acquired strength to endure them. He is the man who was prepared when opportunity knocked, and success was the reward. Then the third class is considered by many “ the lucky fellow,” but the greater majority of this class play minor parts on the stage of life. They have plenty of the “ filthy lucre,” but no means of obtaining it honestly. What do they contribute to the world '1 Nothing much, but invariably the spendthrifts’ evil influence, which spreads and prevails, unfortunately, throughout the lives of some men, whose success would have been clever bad not jealousy and false pride led them into competition with these muddle- headed. dough-burdened, third class spendthrifts. This class, indeed, we must pity. But we arc not classed with them. We have our field to culti- vate. We must listen to that voice. Watch! Listen ! Lost once, it is lost forever. It knocks but once. Tf you disregard it, you will loose all. Ambition is the rising star of fame. “ Hitgh your wagon to that star.” Remember this is a free country in which the highest positions can be ob- tained by the lowest on the ladder of success. Some of our very executives at Washington have risen from the ranks. This only proves the oppor- tunities this country affords. There is no reason why you cannot surmount the pedestal of your desires. Tf you have not heeded the voice the first time, train your efforts for the next, and when an opportunity looms before you, seize it and others will follow in its wake. G. E. G. '17. 23 PH ARM ACY LABORATORY $lp Almlttr Back in the middle ages, when many things were at the stage of begin- ning lived and thrived the alchemist. His was considered a learned, but mysterious profession. Tbe scientists of the day, of which he was one, thought the baser metals could be changed in composition, that iron and lead could be made by some strange manner into gold and silver. That all things in the universe had a common beginning and that they had only to find the touchstone, the link which would enable them to create the elements at will. The alchemist sent to distant countries for samples of strange earth, ore, stones and minerals. Discovrers of new countries selected sam- ples to bring him for his forges. So when Virginia was discovered a yellow substance, called fool’s gold, was taken at once bfcane to Europe. Even then, working and toiling at the trade of his ancestors, these untiring laborers of science kept on with their work of discovery. Even with the sight of the mysterious touchstone before them, making discoveries of untold value to us, but never succeeding in their object. In the first part of the 16th century a Greek gave alchemy a new direc- tion. He declared that its true object was not the making of gold, but the preparation of medicines. Here was founded a new school whose adherents investigated the action of different substances on the human body, and chemistry profited by the fact that it passed into the hands of the greatest scientists of the day. From the principal apparatus of all alchemists, the ingenous still-like kettle of our profession's early adherents we name, this our class book, 41 The Alembic.” An alembic consisted of three distinct parts, the base, a pot-like crucible. This part was made of some metal such as copper or iron. It must needs be very durable, for here the beat was applied. Fitting tightly over the opening at the top, or neck, of this metal base was a condenser of the same material, or sometimes of the less durable material, glass, the advantage being that one could see the vapors as they arose and were condensed. This condenser was fitted with a long neck, or roughly, a spout, through which the vapors and gases still uncondensed passed into a receiving flask, or liquids already condensed into their proper containers, here to be tested at will. In all alchemists’ shops there were many of these of different sizes, 25 and we who have anxiously watched the result of the mixture of several com- pounds can well imagine the thrills through which the fathers of our pro- fession passed as they leaned over their forge and watched vapors of fantastic and new colors pass into the condenser, there to cool into substances so common to us, only because some untiring and faithful alchemist discovered them for our use. This is the age of chemistry. The world of manufacture and progress would stand still without sulphuric acid alone. This substance, known as oil of vitriol, had its beginning in the discovery by an alchemist in the 15th century, and back in the 8th century aqua regia, a very useful acid, was dis- covered. It is well if we sometimes think when perplexed in our laboratories of the untiring struggle of the men who gave us the knowledge which we apply in our profession. Geo. N. Hoffman Ty 26 Slip Irug i tnre as a Communitu WO In spite of all assertions that the modern drug store is on a par with all other stores in the community, as for instance the grocery store, it is still an undeniable fact that the former exerts a marked influence on the com- munity. This is especially true of stores in residential neighborhoods. The drug store in the latter case is the community’s post-office; it is the com- munity’s public telephone booth; in short, it is the public service station of the community. In case of an accident in the community before any medical aid can be obtained, it is the druggist who is called upon to apply “ first aid to the injured.” In this respect the drug store is of invaluable service. The fact that drug stores have adopted such long working hgurs is proof of its neces- sity and importance to the community. For the druggist is not so indif- ferent to life and its pleasures that he would willingly deprive himself of its benefits were it not necessitated by public demand. Thus it is evident that the drug store and the druggists’ professional knowledge and experience are valuable assets to the community. In view of these facts, it is to be regretted that the druggist, in spite of all his services, is so little appreciated by the public. F. N.

Very few students object to fraterni- ties as social organizations. As such they serve their purpose very well for they bring the students into closer relationship and also create a better under- standing between students and faculty. However, it seems to be the general opinion that as only part of the students are members, it is not to the best interest of the college for the fraternity as a body to have any influence upon class activities. After all, the college as a whole is far more important than any one organization within it. Since our activities reflect not only upon ourselves, but on the college as well, every student should act with the welfare of the 27 college in view rather than the welfare of any group or organization in which he is interested. If we are to have fraternities, let them serve the purpose for which ffiey were originally created. Let us hope that the fraternities will not henceforth concern themselves with matters that affect the college as a whole. Let there be fraternity in the real sense of the word among all students. Ethel Naumoff ’17. pjarmariat nnb flrcggre twag One of the most important questions for discussion and action before the American public to-day is that of preparedness. Colleges, preparatory schools and in fact nearly all institutions of learning throughout the country have joined hands and at the present time are in the midst of efficient preparation. These preparations consist mainly of a military training for the purpose of giving the attending students a knowledge of modern warfare. In the Pharmacy colleges, however, there is a seemingly different atti- tude. From outside appearances one would imagine that the main object of the institution was to produce men capable only of slaving in some pharmacy for a period of twelve or more hours daily. This, however, is not so. Should the United States of America be called upon to defend the rights so gloriously attained by our forefathers, it is a certainty that that flame of patriotism present in the heart of every true American would burst forth in the hearts of the pharmacists and they would enlist in one or the other branch of the service. True, they would not shoulder a musket, but they would he prepared to labor heroically under the most trying conditions, carrying out the instruc- tions of the surgeon to the minutest detail. It is to this end that the Pharm- acy colleges of the country are striving, trying to make each man an efficient unit in the nation-wide movement of preparedness. R. F.. C. T8. 28 ■Jv Albany (£nU?g? of fHjarmary (Class of 131 r • i y ili mm Em YK' ' y• •: MICROSCOPV LABORATORY IQ17 (£laj 0 Ipateti At eight o’clock Monday evening. September 27th, 1915, we assembled for the first time in the Lecture Room. Here Dr. Tucker gave a talk on Pharmacy and Dr. Huested warned us against the temptations of the city- life. Dr. Dawes also gave a short talk and advised us to do as Dr. Tucker said. Tt was not until the second day that Miss Naurnoff arrived and it was to our sorrow that we learned that she was to be the only one of the fairer sex in our class. Soon we were busy with our studies and by November we got into the laboratories, where Dr. Tucker and Professor Larkin showed us how to use die blow-pipe and detect suspected cases of arsenic poisonings, where Pro- fessor Hutman showed us bow the U. S. P. preparations were put together and where Dr. Dawes endeavored to show us how a ray of light is bent in passing from a rarer to a denser medium. On November 19th we held our first class meeting and organized under Wensley as President; Barton, Vice-President; Galloway, Second Vice-President; Miss Naurnoff, Secretary, and Lindsay, Treasurer. Then came our midyear examinations. They were hard, but much to our surprise on returning from our Christmas vacation we found that nearly all the class had passed. On January 28th we entertained the Seniors with a dance at the Ten Eyck Hotel. The dance was said to have surpassed any given by former classes; for this, much credit is due the committee composed of Lossa, Hoff- man, Wright, Barton and Galloway. Time passed quickly and we were soon trying our final examinations. On April 15th we hid goodbye to our classmates, returned to our homes hoping soon to hear favorably from our examinations. O11 September 22d we were back to A. C. P. anxious to greet our old friends and to get back into our studies once more. This year we met two other members of the faculty, Professor Dillen- baek and Dr. Jenkins. The Professor lectured to us in that much dreaded subject, “ Senior Pharmacy ” and the Doctor showed us real microscopy. By this time we began to realize the necessity of good, hard studying, so we did nothing but “ dig ” until the midyear. On January 29th two big events took place, Professor Dillenback’s Pharmacy and the dance given by the Juniors. The dance was a grand success, many thanks to the Juniors. The examination was hard, but much to our joy nearly all of the class passed. The next week we selected Young as Valedictorian; Moses, Alternate Valedictorian; Wortley, Essayist, and Cloke, Alternate Essayist. Again we settled down and began to study for the finals, learning the definitions of the “ dried rhizomes and roots.” how the synthetic hydro- carbons are made, and how chemical assays arc made. G.

Some consider that knowledge should be hemmed in and not be given out: but certainly the more you tell people what you know, the more the public at large will know. Wc feel that Louis will do his share in enlightening the public Jv EARL DEAN ARMSTRONG, K Athens N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. “ Abe Dcak Army ' as he is better known to us, is a level-headed, far-seeing gentle- man. His cleverness in class meetings has distinguished him indeed. When there was opposition he was always able to bear the brunt. Xo doubt he will continue to engineer the “big doings” throughout life and thus fill the bill in an adequate manner. 38 WILLIAM HENRY BARRET, AE J? Warwick, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi. Frat. One ol our brightest stars, and still de- serves more recognition than he actually received. His humor is, without a doubt, first-class entertainment, and he has often relieved the pressure of study from our minds by one of his famous antidotes (a story). Someday he will reap his reward, where brains are recognized and appre- ciated. X JAMES HENRY BONNER, KM' Luzerne, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. Well, “ Jimmy,” we will always remember your smiling face, which has proven a right bower to the fairer sex. Your popu- larity is due to your pleasant disposition and indeed it will exist throughout your career. A pleasant smile is an invitation of friendship and surely we predict that you will make many friends who will favor you in business and in life. 39 CECIL EDWARD BROOKER. AE I Schenectady, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Erat. Do we know Cecil? Well T guess. He is our class elocutionist and his carved words have brought him fame. ITis various con- troversics with Dr. Dawes in the Junior year were very amusing. TTe and the “ Doc ” spoke the same language. Doc. succeeded and we trust Cecil will also. CHARLES Y. BYRNE. K k Poughkeepsie, N. Y. “ Bunnie ” Member Kappa Psi Frat. Class President Manager B. P� . team (both years), Presi- dent Senior class, “ Bunnie ” succeeded in forging to the front in the early part of the Senior year, and being the favorite with both factions, was elected President. It was not long before we recognized in him a good, straightforward President who treated both factions with one accord. Tt is rumored that “Bunnie” will accept a posi- tion as Pharmacist at Albany Hospital. We wonder why? All said and done we all join in congratulating him, wishing him health and prosperity. 40 WILLARD KINNE BARTON, K Fort Edward, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. Second Vice-President (i) Vice-Regent of Fraternity “ PartM is a great admirer of human nature and the classified knowledge per- taining to it. Tie set out in search for a subject, and succeeded in netting one in Troy. His accounts of his research are in- teresting. Xo doubt he will some day take bis subject up at Fort Edward. I V JOSEPH CANDIDO. AE f Albany, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat, “Joe” is always one of the first men in the lecture room. His eagerness for learn- ing has become a hunger to bis ambition. If he succeeds in learning all that he is reaching out for, he will no doubt reach his goal. 41 GRANT CHAS. CARTER, K Canaan, Conn. Member Kappa Psi. “Nick” hails from that town known as, the growing end of the nutmeg. In his Senior year he tried to graw a taehe, but it looked like a baseball team (nine on each side), so he dismissed it in disgust. Grant is noted for his singing, looks and beaker breaking. TIis pastime is spent studying drugs in the observation room, in which he is quite proficient. H' JOHN BENJAMIN CLOKE, AE4 Hoosick, N. Y. Member of Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Alternate Essayist Two years the B. M. train brought to us a thorough student from the north. “ Benny,” the boy with the grey matter. Without a doubt his whole being in enrapt with a desire to accumulate knowledge. Fie is our Alternate Essayist, and a capable man for the position. “ Benny ” has a de- sire to pursue a special course in chemistry. No doubt this will be the stepping stone to his future career. 42 HENRY PATRICK CONRON, K Norwich, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. ('lass Marshal “ Paddy,” our class Marshal, gained prominence in the Glee Club with his me- lodious voice. TTis friendly disposition also has gained for him valuable friends. “Paddy” has a true Irish heart and it will take a pretty good man to elbow by him in the alleyways of life. RALPH THOMAS CURTIS, K Troy. N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Second Vice-President (2) “Jincks” is some boy and we all admire his manliness. lie is one of those few fellows who has perfect control of his will. His logic is very clear and by no means narrow. He was elected Second Vice- President of the Senior class and in this office, served his classmates well. 43 LEO FRANCIS CORRIGAN, AE b Dannemora, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Vice-President of Fraternity “ Leo ” came from a place where they make little ones out of big ones. o, not pills, stones. But that doesn’t say lie's going back there. Albany Southern for his. He likes the ride on that road better than any other, and besides (sh----c) well, you know the rest. nr FREDERICK LANSING CARR. AE4 Rensselaer, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Secretary of Fraternity There is one man at least who does not let the fair sex bother him, at all events, that is our opinion. Well, maybe that is why bis recitations are so keen and to the point. We know he is wise and at the same time we wish to remain foolish to a cer- tain degree. 44 ARTHUR VINCENT ELLSWORTH, AE4 Glens Falls, N. Y. Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Although “Art” came from a noisy little town, he has not acquired much of the noise-making methods. He is very quiet. He never talks unless he really wants to say something. This is a very good trait and many of us should try to cultivate it. It will never do harm, but may often do good. CHARLES ALTON EDWARDS. AE4 Albany, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. “ Gus,” the busy man, always attended class and pinned his attention particularly to materia medica, in which he became quite efficient. TTis dope on “ America first” is good and he wanted to see every one prepare for the big finale. His inten- tions are the best and we are all with him. 45 LYOT EDGECOMB ELLIS. K Schenectady, N, Y. Member Kappa Psi Our old friend “ Sliv ” is a live wire from “ Dorp.” He is a well-informed chap, and although he is a married man, he docs not put. any restrictions on his diet. He can eat any time and any place. Some day lie will, no doubt, make his mark in the world, in the field of bacteriology. K' WALTER JOHN FILE, A 1 1 Meehanicville, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Walter is one of our heavyweights. Class expenses were rattier high until the chairs were reinforced with extra cross- bars, but Walter should worry why. “ His is not the only bank that’s breaking'.” 46 L BUELL HUNT FRANCISCO. K Chatham, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Prat. We have our friends and foes, but “ Boo ” has but one class to deal with, that of friends. His lovable disposition has gained the favoritism of all of us. When it comes to “good lookers’’ well, if his mother doesn’t watch closely, some fair damsel will steal him from her. “Boo” is quite a skater. Last winter he had “ some ” skating partner too. She had a record tie:Win her skating, but it took “Boo” to break that record. HAROLD GLAZIER. K Gouverneur, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi When you are looking for a real good fellow, do not pass up “Old Har.” ITis faults are all good ones. His regular stunt is to arise early winter mornings, when the mercury is almost coagulated in the bulb of the Fahrenheit, and do a mile hike before breakfast. (Ask Doc. Wright.) He says he can do this because he generally eats a hard-boiled egg or a gumdrop before re- tiring. 47 EDWIN HEISINGER, K Palenville. N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. Class Vice-President. “ Ed ” needs no introduction. Rv looking at bis picture you recognize in him one of the finest fellows in college. In him you will find a self-made man of the highest standing. He makes friends wherever lie goes. To do him honor we would fill a book, so we all join and wish him health and prosperity. STEWART HUDSON, K Rouses Point, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi A man who is straight, honest and to the point. We know him as “ Stew ’ but this does not infer that he is deserving of the name, it is merely a contraction of his rightful surname. “ StewT ” never hesitates to tell you what his opinion really is on a subject, nor does he let a subject go by without concerning himself, for the benefit of the weaker brother. His frankness will some day increase his standing in the csti mation of the public. V 50 GEORGE NILES HOFFMAN, A F I Chatham, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Business Manager Alembic President of Fraternity “ George,” better known by the members of the class as “Chatham,” is a very ener- getic and wideawake young man. lie was elected Business Manager of the Alembic and has filled the bill very nicely. In character he is very frank, and Abraham Lincoln had no traits that “ Chatham ” doesn’t possess. STEWART HENRY HIMES, k Troy. N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. “Stew” is a clever chap and a friend of everyone’s. He takes a front seat in class and ploughs all the time. He came from a long line of “good-lookers” and is him- self no exception in this line. 51 J MARVIN DAVID HARMON, K Chatham, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. “Man ” is any easy-going sort of boy, with «an even disposition. He is one ol' the quiet members of the class, and little is heard from him unless the quartette is rehearsing; then we will hear “ Mare ” with his double “basso ' Tie takes great pleasure in stretching out his long legs and reaching low “ G ' Yon bet he can reach it. too. TERESSA CONWAY IN IRA HAM, A E I Troy, N. Y. lion. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi. Frat. A womanly woman, whose candid opinion about matters has led us to consult her in affairs, prone to advisory criticism. This trait in a person's makeup wins for them admiration, even by those who arc not favored by such opinions. We feel that nowadays one must speak the truth, whether it be little or not. Admiration is bound to follow eventually. 52 LOUIS KROUNER, AE I Nassau, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Erat. Louis is a quiet fellow who studies and knows the work. Nothing is of interest to him unless it pertains to class work. He is often busy trying to convince someone what took place in a chemical reaction, but this is quite beyond some of us. We would listen if he tried to convince us that, the wines would be restored in the U. S. P. ROBERT REUBEN LAVINE. AE I Member of Alpha Epsilon Phi Prat. “ Ruby,” as he is better known, is a wizard in microscopy. He is forever dis- covering new bodies under the microscope. Doc. Jenkens says these bodies belong to the “ air bubbling class.” The one great trouble with Ruby is the stand he takes in politics. 53 LIVINGSTON F. LOSSA. K'J' Canajoharie, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi. “ Liv ” is one of those fellows who takes things as they come. For this year he holds down, a position in Prof, Dillenback’s store and has a chance to post the boys on the quizes the Prof, pulls on the boys every week. Tie has extended his studies to a three-year course. J JOHN LAWRENCE LINDSAY, K Olmstedville, N. Y. Member of Kappa Psi Treasurer (l) John is a very desirable classmate indeed. He was a very active member in the Junior class and held” the office of treasurer at that time. He is taking a three-year course and has little time to participate in the present class business. Everyone has a good word for John and he deserves nothing but good. We will leave him to carry on the good work in “ 1918.” 54 RALPH PATRICK LANSING, AEd Mechanicville, N. Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. “ Buddy” is a favorite with all the boys. He has gained such favoritism that he actually conducts the materia medica speci- men department. Leaving all jokes aside, he would be an exemplary young student if he could keep away from the fair sex. iv HYMAN MOSES. AE T Newburgh, N. Y. Alternate Valedictorian Member of Alpha Epsilon Phi F'rat. Moses came to us last year and brought with him a whole lot of energy. The re- sult of his work in class has brought about the honor of alternate valedictorian, which is his. He is a good practical man in the laboratory and he will make a good man in business. 55 THOMAS PATRICK MULLEN. JR., Kvp North Lawrence, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. Whenever we speak of Mullen we can imagine a good fellow with a good natured countenance and invariably a smile. Mul- len has a disposition as even as the horizon on the sea. He never looses his head for a minute, but is absolutely sane at all times. “ Tom ” has “ some ” friends at the Normal College. They all want to know “ Is he always like that? ” His lucky number is Tcn(nv) and some day he may get a Chandly. J. CARL MANGELSDORF. AEd Saratoga Spa, N. Y. Member of Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. “ Mange ” is a quiet member until he gets in chem. laboratory. Then all his energy is stirred up and we all know he is present. He has treated the subject “ Zea Mayes ” in an adequate manner, and his argument is a good one. 56 THOMAS JOHN MACK. , AE4 Troy, N. Y. Member of Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. “Connie” is one of the old reliables of the class. When lie lights his pipe and crosses his knee you may well expect to hear a good yarn. If we only had a camp lire to sit around and listen to Connie life would be complete. MISS ETHEL NAUMOPF, E I Schenectady, N. Y. Class Secretary (I) Class Secretary (2) Asst. Editor-in-Chicf Alembic Hon. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. The dainty little girl with the winning ways that has brought to her feet the love and respect of all her classmates. Miss Naumoff is the class secretary and has played an important part on different com- mittees. She is a star in her studies and will, no doubt, reach the goal to which she attains. 57 RALPH DAVID ROBERTSON. K Amsterdam, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. “ Robhy,” our pal and good friend, we will never forget. He is of that type that is rare. Good fellow, immuned against worry, good ear for music, never slanders, likes to see everybody' happy and likes bis studies. Put this combination together and you have “ Robby,” and he can’t be beat. iv CHARLES WALLACE SMITH. K F Troy, N. Y. Member Kappa I’si “ Wally ” is a soldier boy and served with the Troy Ambulance Corps between terms at the Mexican border. We were all glad to see him back alive this fall when College reopened. He told many an interesting stoty of the Gulf region to the boys. 58 FRED L. SCHRAMME, AE I Kingston, N. Y. Kingston Academy Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Fral, After a “little two-year vacation our Fred, known as Schrammc, returns to us to follow that noble path to pharmacy. His great ambition for work classes him among the most popular and prominent ot the Pill Board. Plis week ends, at Kingston, spent at “ home ” always send him back to us in the best of humor. Can it be that this noble boy has become victim to the charms of the fairer sex? Success, Fred. K' CHAS. E. VEDDER Schenectady, N. Y. Charlie is the least noisy of the class. He has a pleasant smile for every one and re- ceives the same from all. He is an expert on baseball and knows every player in the big leaugue. Some day he expects to manage the Giants. 59 JOHN CLIFFORD WILSON, AES- Kind erhook, N, Y. Member Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Wilson belongs to the nn.saturat.ed class of bodies. TTis bonds did not take long to become saturated after be met a certain little girl and he look on addition com- pounds. ’Twas the bonds of matrimony. Ever since he has been a well satisfied body. He is not free any longer. • JOHN MARTIN WILD. K'F Troy, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. In November. 1913, he seems to have de- cided to transfer the place of his study from Germany to America, and that just, in time to escape the inviting life in the trenches. He finds living here quite be- coming to him, especially since he made a visit to “ Chatham,” where he lost his heart entirely. Leaving that all aside John is a universal seeker after knowledge and we have learned to esteem him as a good friend. We wish him success in his pro- ceedings both in pharmacy and at Chatham. 60 FRANKLIN NORMAN WRIGHT. JR., K'l' Nortliville, N. Y. Member Kappa Psi Frat. Class Treasurer Alembic Sporting Editor “ Doc ” is the most popular of our class- mates. He is everybody’s friend and everyone is his friend. We elected him our class treasurer and our sporting editor. His good will is at the disposal of every- one who seeks it. Tie has made a good coach for the basketball five and succeeded in whipping them into shape last year. HAROLD WENSLEY. K Syracuse, N. Y. Chaplain Kappa Psi Frat. President (i) Senior Editor Alembic Harold was president of our Junior class and was an able man for the position. At present he is Senior Editor of the Alembic and contributed largely toward the same to make the book a material success. In him one can find a good friend. Tie has figured prominently on different committees during the College year. GEORGE CORNELIUS WORTLEY, K Cambridge, N. Y. Class Historian Essayist Member Kappa Psi Frat. Wortley is a busy man at present. He is our class historian and essayist. He is also devoting much time to some work for the Alembic. When we class all this work with the outside work he refuses to neglect, we may well call him “ busy man.” George is very popular with the fairer sex and his engagements arc most “ pressing.” RALPH YOUNG, AE h Cobleskill, N. Y. Valedictorian Treasurer Alpha Epsilon Phi Frat. Ralph is the Gibraltar of the class, a rock of common sense. His brilliant work has placed him on a pedestal and crowned him a star in his studies. His work in chem- istry was exceptionally good and this field is open to such men as he, who will add much to its progress sooner or later. 62 Gllasa HUI We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen of Albany College of Pharmacy, in the county of Albany, State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, declare and publish this, our last will and testament, as follows: First: To the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen, we do hereby bequeath the lecture room with seats, etc., and the knowledge to be gained therein.

M. 65 materia medica study room JUNIORS [ I: NI OR CLASS Junior (Hlass iitstimjf When the grey autumn sky cast its gloom over the capital district in October, 1916, it filled the freshies arriving at the College with a sense of feeling, more or less melancholy, half yearning for the end, and yet not fully willing to miss the good times that accompanies the course of study. We realized gazing on the happy faces of the Seniors that good times were eminent and by their disposition of friendship and loyalty we were much influenced to begin, oil hand, the good work of familiarizing ourselves with one another, and thus the bonds of friendship between the classmates were sealed at an early date. Time rolled onward and eventualities led to election of class officers. U. T. D’Aran topped the list and was elected president; I). Finn, vice- president; Miss Brunette, second vice-president; Doran, secretary, and Sulli- van, treasurer. Thus our class work, combined with the judicial and other affairs, progressed rapidly under the careful supervision of our executives. Finally we gave the Seniors a reception and ball at the Hotel Ten Fyck. It was an exceptionally well attended function, and those present voted the event one of the best in the College history. The union of Juniors and Seniors was completed by this time and we closed for the season all social affairs and opened the gates to the field of study, owing to the fact that our final examinations were on their way and we lost no time in deciding that we were all prepared to bring to a close our first year's work and the eventual- ities of the second year with clear records. 69 (filam Mall Caplan Altman Harold James Baldwin William Frank Barry Fred Henry Bcrkholz Benjamin Berkowitz Lena Katharine Brunette John Thomas Byrnes Martin Joseph Gallery Harold Byron Carncrosc Henry Joseph Carpenter Edwin Alfred Collamer James Claire Colwell Raymond Earl Cressler William Frederick D’Aran Paul Leo Doran Leslie Clayton Edsal Fred John Cairns Elbert Donald Finn Buel Hunt Francisco John Joseph Gcraghty George Patrick Golden Harold Schermerhorn Greene Vincent Francis Guerra Francis Ambrose Hans Marvin David Harmon Francis Stanton Henry James Henry Hogan John Joseph Knauf Alva- Tremain Knight Lawrence Clayton Lanfair Samuel Leviton Roy Samuel Lodewick Livingston Fredricksburg Lossa Anthony Joseph Mack Thomas Augustus McCann Earl Joseph McCarthy Saul Naishtat Leo Joseph O’Keeffe Isado'M’atlen Isabella M.

On returning last fall we took up new and more spacious quarters at 53 South Hawk street. During the year we have entertained the Junior Class with two smokers. On the evening of March 19th the seventh annual banquet was held at Keeler's Hotel. Over fifty-five members and guests were present. Dr. Alfred B. Huested was toastmaster, and toasts were responded to by Garret V. Dillenback, Edwin C. Hutman, William A. Larkin, Jared W. Scudder, Dr. Thomas Jenkins. George C. Wortley and Charles W. Vars.

Our Junior members are fellows of a quality. We are proud of them and their enthusiasm. Some crowd too — count them. As this is a purely local body with local ideals and principles, we cannot boast of a membership in the thousands, but there is much truth, in our case, in the motto, not large, but strong.

A. for practice. The men trained hard and practiced faithfully under the direction of Manager Byrnes, Coach Glazier and Captain Wright, and with wonderful support from the students. The personnel of the team included Captain Wright, Smith, Garrity, Krcslcr, Greene, Huestead, Carter, Lamfair, Barton, Francisco, Harmon, Wensley, Curtis, Loedewick, Lossa, Byrnes. The season proved a very successful one, as the team only lost one game, that being to the Law School's fast team by a close score. It is hoped that the spirit which was so prevalent this year and last will be continued by the students next year and a g'ood team should be put on the floor to represent old A. C. P. 76 TRITURATES (Etea flrtfjjljtfaij HIT Saratoga Springs, N. Y.t May i, 1927. My Dear Mr. Larkin : I have recently read of your appointment as State Chemist, and wish to congratulate you on your success. I would have written you long before, only I have just returned from a ten-years’ trip abroad, where I have been collecting my own Materia Medica specimens, and have been isolated from American newspapers. You will perhaps be surprised and glad to know of the success of a great many of my classmates of A. C. P., 1917. Time has wrought a great change with many and few have retained their chosen profession, pharmacy. Most of my time was spent in southern Asia with tlx exception of four years, in which I travelled most of Africa. The old country had attracted others of the class besides myself. While in Bombay, almost the first sign I struck was: IT. GLAZIER COMPANY, Pure Drugs. I immediately went into the store and found my old friend Harold attempting to sell an old native a bottle of Freezone.” He was quite sur- prised to see me and said that he bad become tired of the States and had been practising here for nearly three years. He surprised me by bringing forth Galloway and Wright from the rear room, who were the company of the firm. The four of us had a pleasant visit and they urged me to come again should i pass through Bombay 011 my return. My next surprise was in Calcutta, when passing a movie show. Casually glancing at the program my gaze was riveted on the following: “ Lynne Edgecomb Ellis presents Miss Ethel Naumoff, world famous vampire in ‘ Frenzy ’ supported by the noted dramatist, Leo Corrigan.” I could scarcely believe my eyes. My old-time friend Ellis, a movie producer, and modest Miss Naumoff. a star; and Corrigan, who was one of the staunchest of pharmacy promoters, turned actor. I witnessed the per- formance, saw Miss Naumoff entice victim after victim with her bewitching- smile, and stab Corrigan who was her bitterest enemy. There were three, at least, who had left the prescription desk to take up more adventurous duties. On coming from the movie show, 1 was attracted by a crowd watching the landing of some sailors. T stopped and looked at them and near the end 78 of the line, one form seemed decidedly familiar. Looking closer, I dis- covered it was none other than Charles Vedder. Rut, not the Vedder of old days! He wore a heavy beard and leaned upon a cane. After exchanging greetings he told me that he had gotten off his feed and ruined his health entirely by taking Hoffman's opeldock remedy. Thinking a change would do him good, he had joined the crew of a tramp steamer, putting the ocean between himself and the prescriptions of his friends and was seeking health in the East. Talk of coincidences! The next meeting with any of the fellows was two years later when I was in Cairo. A large terrace was being constructed and one of the carpenters had met with an accident. Thinking my medical knowledge might be of some use, T hastened over to see what 1 could do. Turning the man over, I brushed back his hair and with astonishment beheld the features of Tom Mack. I got him to the nearest hospital, where he told me his story. He had given up the drug business because he couldn’t stand the odors from the cosmetic department and had gone into the carpentry trade. He had come over to Egypt with Himes and Curtis in search of work. He had procured (his position on the terrace, but Curtis and Himes saw in the upper Nile a fine opening for an ice cream parlor. He had heard from them several times and they had reported a sale of banana splits and nut sundaes that would make Riker’s look like a movie palace on Sunday niglu. Curtis’ wife doesn’t like the customers. She can’t get any ideas in dress from them. Leaving Mack comfortable, 7 left for Alexandria, where I had heard that a certain brand of valuable allium could be found. Here T met with another surprise! At my hotel was stopping a party of five, drug collectors as myself. Who were they, but Buddy Lansing, Aker, Hoffman, Barrett and Carr. They invited me to join their party, but ! declined with good reason. It was their plan to hire a bunch of Italians to locate the garlicy stuff, and the atmosphere of the tiling didn’t appeal to me. So, I said, “ good night.” They intended spending several years at this work, as they intended to found a museum, on wild drugs they had gathered. Before I left, however, Lansing told me that File had become a very successful druggist in Mcchanicville, had happily married and now specialized in Mellin's food. I learned further that Jim Bonner had bought out the New York Telephone Company and was fast on the road to become a multimillionaire. Armstrong had been summoned home to Athens, Greece, on account of the death of a relative, who had left him the Parthenon which lie had immediately remodeled into a first class drug store. 79 A few days later, 1 was ready to cross the Sahara Desert and found myself just in time to join a caravan that was leaving the next day. On picking out my camel. I was surprised to see Eddie lleisinger arguing with one of the natives. On seeing me, he came over and said he was glad to have an American to talk to, as he had become disgusted with Egyptian ways. He was now an agent for Murads, and I had the pleasure of his company across the desert. ITe had travelled nearly the whole United States and had run across many of the fellows. He had spent two weeks in New York with Carter, who was manufacturing closed chain hydrocarbons on a large scale. On stopping at Poughkeepsie, lie learned that Byrne had become the chief of the tire department and had won a medal for having carried a 260 pound damsel from her tenth-story apartment to the arms of a cheer- ing multitude. I asked about Ellsworth, but a mystery surrounds him. He was last seen talking to the wooden Indian in front ?ff a cigar store in Glens Falls, but no one had seen him since. While in Buffalo, lleisinger had found Moses and Candido proprietors of a large toilet goods factory and the “ Mos-ido ” perfumes were fast gain- ing prominence. In. Chicago he saw the J. P� . Cloke factory for photographic chemicals, but was unfortunate in not being able to see J. B. himself, as the latter was out taking landscape scenes in Armour's slaughter house. He did, however, meet W. K. Barton, who was head foreman of the plant and had quite a chat. Barton said that Conron had been with them for a few months, but had to leave on account of his wife’s death. His occupation for the future would be living on the money she had left. No!!! There was noth- ing suspicious about her death. In Denver, he had visited Brooker, who was the president of a large orphan asylum. His wife was the house mother and they were both very tender in caring for the little ones. Brooker never lifted a hand against one of them — he used an axe. The last one Heisinger had seen was Carl Edwards, who was managing a Grceley-Krouner chain store in San Francisco. Greeley and Krouner had gotten their idea for these stores through patronizing Woolworth Go., in their college days and learning thereby the gullibility of the public in falling for adulterated goods. Edwards was very prosperous, as he was manu- facturing Leave-me-not ” sachet on the side and had made a great sale for it. Some of the prettiest customers went so far as to complain because he was always throwing it at them. 80 1 left Heisingcr after a few days, and journeyed on. While collecting acacia in a small clearing, I was attracted by hearing voices coming from a nearby cave. On stepping closer I recognized the voices of M. Cornelius Hoagland and Ralph Young. They were excited, as only a few minutes before they had rescued John Lindsay from the poison of a huge snake. 1 joined them, and after exchanging greetings helped bring John to. He was quite pale after his escapade — looked a lot like Stuart Holmes after a scene with Theda Wheelhara. I had lunch with the boys and left them at their hotel late in the afternoon. Two years passed and I neither saw nor heard from my classmates. I found myself in Cape Town. Here I was surprised to find several of my friends living. Stewart Hudson and Ed Huested were working in the dia- mond mines and Stew told me in confidence that he was making a fortune smuggling diamond chips in his finger nails. Fred Schramme had become lord mayor of the city, and was getting suspiciously rid trading with Stew. Tom Mullein was the owner of the largest drug store here, and did a great business in stamps and phone calls. Hensted told me he had received a letter from Wilson and that he and his family intended removing to Iceland, where he proposed starting an ammonia refrigerating plant. My slock of specimens was now mostly complete and I determined to take the next steamer home. The following Monday, 1 bade them all fare- well and started on my journey. A month later the ship landed at the Canary Isles, and I had a day’s outing on shore. 1 visited the small town and found two more of my friends here established—J. M. Wild, the pro- prietor of a “ Deutsche Apotheke ” and Harold Wensley the owner of an aeroplane line. I was introduced to Mrs. Wensley and Harold Junior, find- ing them both very charming. The son was the very image of his father. I learned through them of the distinguished success of Wallace Smith in the war and of the statue that had been erected by the citizens of Troy in honor of his bravery. The steamer stopped again at Liverpool to discharge passengers and here 1 had a three days’ wait. I determined to call on my old friend Wortley who lived here and found him and Mrs. Wortley at lunch. 1 had lunch with them and they informed me of the sad fate of Ralph Robertson who had been blown up in the explosion of the Liverpool Gas Works, of which he was the sole proprietor. They told me he had been all broken up ever since. On my arrival in New York, 1 went immediately to my hotel and inquired for mail. T found several letters, among which was one from R. Lavine and one from Mrs. Ingraham. T.avine’s was postmarked Con- 81 slantinople. In relating his experiences, he said he had joined the navy and had been taken a prisoner by the Turks. The Sultan was very ill at the time but Lavine soon had him nursed back to health again. In repayment the Sultan made him eunich of his harem, and now he was happy amusing the ladies, teaching them witty poems, and his old class yell. Stravvb-- SB!!! Mrs. Ingraham's letter was in the form of an announcement: Lingerie Mrs. Teressa Conway Ingraham announces The Grand Opening of her new And up to date Pharmacy Saturday, May fourteenth, 1926 Specialties! K Yictrolas Hardware Stamps Prescriptions, a side line. And now, my dear Mr. Larkin, let me end this with the promise of never again inflicting such an epistle upon you.

Galloway awake during the whole lecture? Edwards not chewing? Harmony at Senior Class meeting? Hoagland without his goggles? Lansing called anything but “ Buddy?” Armstrong playing the hurdy-gurdy ? Hilly — What is the action of mercury on other metals? Curtis — Very active. Hilly — Does it eat them up or just tell them to skip out? CurtiS — If there arc other metals in the stomach no doubt it will tell them to skip out. Who is the best chemist in the laboratory? Why Barton of course; he actually poured ten mils of distilled water from the barette into the flask without spilling a drop, and ever since then Smith has been watching him work. 84 Paddy Conron is the wash-flask artist. Ho can blow a stream within striking distance at a Wild range. Jimmy Iluested discovered a new form of mesenchymal under the microscope. Dr. Jenkins investigated the discovery and named it Ilucsted's Aerial Bubbling Cell. Dr. Dawes was compelled to discontinue his course in microscopy owing to the fact that he could not obtain material. Well, you know there was a scarcity of potatoes. Bart— I low many cc's in a dekagramme? Mangh — Oh, joy! The dried plant of Tea Maize. Dr. Tucker was telling the class of the arrival of a new bug to Albany called the thousand loggers. He asked one student if he had ever heard of them. The student replied: 1 have read of 20,coo legs under the sea, but I never heard of them on land. One student asked Dr. Mullins why it was that on stooping over the blood rushed to his head and why it did not rush to his feet when getting up again? Dr. Mullins replied: Well, I guess because your feet are not empty. Who is that man who cannot retire peacefully unless he has a hard- boiled egg or a gumdrop? After Paddy received his eleventh bundle of patches someone asked him if he was making a crazy quilt. He replied, “ No, I'm just making a back-ground comfortable. There was a man who took a drink, But then let out a roar, Instead of drinking H,0 He drank H,SO,. 85 Mr. Hut man — Why didn’t you filter that solution? L. Aker — It wouldn't stand the strain. Little Girl (to drug clerk) —I want some talcum powder. Lindsey (in Huested’s) — Mennen’s? Little Girl — No, wimmen’s. “ Look here,” said a man excitedly to druggist, “ you gave me morphine for quinine this morning.” “ Is that so? ” replied the druggist, “ then you owe me forty cents.” Teacher — Can you name a liquid that will not freeze ? Bright Junior— I lot water. TAKING A RISK Ain’t you rather young to be left in charge of a dfSg store? Perhaps; what can I do for you ? Do your employers know it’s dangerous to leave a mere boy like you in charge of such a place? T am competent to serve you, madam. Don’t you know you might poison someone ? There is no danger of that, madam; what can I do for you? Think 1 had better go to the store down the street. I can serve you just as well as they can and as cheaply. Well, you may give me a two cent stamp, but it doesn't look right. Mr. Gibson (speaking about insurance policies) — Now if a man is married and wants protection he will take out a Phoenix or a — Mr. Mack (loudly) — Mr. Gibson, does a man need protection after he’s married? A young lady was after buying a boltle of hair restorer. The drug- gist, to make the sale complete, said: “ That is a very good preparation, my wife uses it regularly.” The girl replied with anxiety: “ Does she? Well your wife has beau- tiful hair. I bet she can sit on it.” After the young lady closed the door from the outside the druggist laughed and muttered to himself: “ Yes, she can even jump on it.” (Puffs and rats.) 86 Remember—Our Advertisers Made this book possible.
