Freund 10 (|)APMAKON 'MPMAKON (Pharmacon) is the Greek term, meaning drug, potion, medicine, or charm. This title has been chosen as one that is unique and distinctive in that it relates to Pharmacy. The term drug immediately suggests a Pharmacy or Drug Store, but how few realize or think beyond? How many think of the innumerable sources, the varied people, and the vast amount of labor the gathering of drugs entails? How many consider the painstaking methods used in the compounding of drugs into suitable medicants? Drugs come from all parts of the world and are gathered by the natives in their respective localities. Some drugs require a short time and little care, others require a long time and the b$ t of care for their maturation. Those gathered in the Orient, in the past, have been sent to market in cartons, bundles, and bales identical in nature for each separate drug. Those from the Occident do not seem to have the same care and consideration, and this fact requires that the Druggist have the most minute knowledge in order to separate them, whether they have been accidentally or intentionally adulterated. Consider for a moment the amount of time one spends in preparation before one actually compounds the ingredients of a prescription. The student of Pharmacy spends many hours of careful study and close observation on all the outstanding characteristics of a crude drug so that it will be distinct and individual. The student also studies the preparations into which each crude drug enters, taking into account its therapeutical and toxic effects so that it may be dispensed intelligently. Economic pressure has made the compounding of many medicants by the individual Pharmacist a lost art, but do not infer from this that he has not as good or better knowledge of compounding than his predecessors. The State, realizing the necessity of sufficient knowledge of these things, requires that before a person is able to fill prescriptions, on one’s own respon- sibility, that one must spend several years in preparation, including a college course which devotes itself exclusively to this end. When these require- ments have been met an examination testing the fitness of the person must be passed. Tf passed, the person is given the title of Pharmacist and the right to dispense drugs. The Dispensing Pharmacist is held entirely responsible for all prescrip- tions. irrespective of the originator, unless the originator accepts full responsibility. From a consideration of the facts so briefly stated here it is hoped that a better understanding will be reached regarding the Pharmacist and his implements of trade—drugs. 12 Cl ass History In September, 1921, a heterogenous mass assembled for the first time in the. Lecture Hall. This conglomeration was to be known to the world as the Class of Twenty-Three, Albany College of Pharmacy. Early in October the first fusion toward a homogenous body was accom- plished by electing officers of the class. This was a friendly affair and the results were obtained with ease and dispatch. C. W. Fuhrer was unanimously chosen President, and the other offices were soon filled. Joseph Welch, Vice-President; Robert Bruce, Second Vice-President; Arthur Palmer, Treasurer; Miss Bernice Johnston, Secretary; Miss Margaret Ostrander, flistori i. These officers executed their duties in a commendable way, though at times some disagreed as to minor details. Classes, examinations and minor social events passed in rapid succession until we had the pleasure of our first Christmas party, which was held at the College. Gibson-Snow Company to welcome us as future Pharmacists, through the President of the Board of Trustees, gave us each a little token distributed by that genial character, so customary at this time, whom we were later to be intro- duced to as Professor Seneca S. Smith. Two Fraternities sprang up during the early part of the year and their mem- bers made merry with the two bodies then in existence. Lambda Kappa Sigma and Kappa Psi. About this time the Prom so near and dear to each Junior was being arranged. In February this notable event of the College year was carried out to perfection, as some of the. members would have it. A minor detail—school next day, seemed the only part out of harmony. The officers of the Year Book were chosen shortly after this: Ediior-in- Chief, James J. O’Leary; Business Manager, Charles W. Fuhrer; Advertising Manager, Peter Danzilo; Assistant Editor, Joseph V. Walsh; Treasurer, Arthur S. Palmer. Shortly after this Fuhrer resigned and Lazarus Weinstein was ap- pointed Business Manager. The social side was promulgated by the societies above named, and the Faculty was very generous in supplying the necessary amount of material so that class work was never dull or boresome. Finally that wonderful day when we met together as Juniors and separated as Seniors. 13 In September, 1922, wc returned to the task, and our first experience was a communion with Nature with Dean Mansfield as the expounder of its secrets. Class elections were next in order, and though many rumors floated serenely through the indigo-colored atmosphere of the smoking room, the election was staged quietly. C. Howard Russell was chosen President; Joseph Welsh, Vice- President; Austin Peach, Second Vice-President; Alfred Smith, Treasurer; Margaret Ostrander, Secretary; Frances K. Rosenweig, Historian. Social events that have made history passed until we celebrated our second Christmas party, during which many appropriate gifts were exchanged, and later we found out the results of teaching some of our class Jurisprudence in a Mock Trial. After which we needed a vacation to recuperate. Junior Prom occupied our attention upon our return, and to be sure that it would he a success, we donated our presence. The Juniors are congratulated upon their success. • After this was over our minds dwelt longingly on that day that was so near and yet seemed so immeasurably far away, Graduation Day, when we would be known as “ Graduates in Pharmacy.” As such we greet you. « 14 Officers Senior Class William Mansfield - C.

Breithaupt J. Brack N A. Gates S. Legault }. Morgan W. Mulvey R. Mulvey E. Murphy J. Murphy E. Simonson H. Smith Kappa Psi is one of the oldest professional fraternities. It has chapters and members throughout the entire United States. Kappa Psi was organized May 30, 1879, at the Medical College of Virginia. Tn 1903 it was incorporated with Alpha as the grand chapter. On November 17, 1917, Delta Omicron Alpha Fraternity was merged with Kappa Psi. This was followed by Phi Delta Fra- ternity on January 26, 1918. hf Front the above one can easily see that Kappa Psi ranks as One of the leading fraternities of the country, and it matters little whether you meet a man of your own or some other chapter, the same Goodwill and Fellowship is always present. Beta Delta Chapter was installed on November 11, 1910, at the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy. The total membership of this chapter numbers about 300. Among these three hundred men it will be found that the tradition of Scholarship and Goodfellowship has ever been upheld. It is not the purpose here to give the history of the Fraternity, nor yet of Beta Delta Chapter, as a whole. It would not be in keeping with the aim of this book. Since, however, this book is liable to fall into the hands of men and women unacquainted with this wonderful organization, it is believed that the few points of interest portrayed are not amiss. Since a year book is to serve as a memento of college days, it is fitting and proper that the interesting details of Beta Delta chapter should be incorporated so that its members may fondly recall those of note during their active participation. During the early part of October, 1921, Beta Delta Chapter greeted its pledged men at a smoker. The honor thus bestowed upon us, the then Pledgees, was accepted with a feeling of pleasure and somewhat of responsibility. The aims of fraternalism were carefully explained to us by both the officers and the Facul- tate members present. Dean Mansfield spoke on “Scholarship;” Professor Hut- man, “ Fraternalism,” and Regent Guernsey, “A Word of Welcome.” Early in November, in order that we might know further the value of a Fraternity and its means of attaining the spirit of brotherly love, we were invited to attend an informal dance at the Yacht Club. It is needless to say that we accepted and attended in a body. Later there was a similar dance, at the same place, and each meeting with the Kappa Psi men became more pleasurable than the previous one. 56 After the Midyear Examinations, or to be exact, on January 18, 1922, Kappa Psi started to welcome students of the Junior Class as members. New members were “ pleasantly ” received until early in March, when the annual election of officers took place. Harry F. O’Brien was elected Regent; James J. O’Leary, Vice-Regent; Arthur S. Palmer, Secretary; Clarence Lawler, Treasurer; Charles W. Fuhrer, Historian, and Francis J. Dunn, Chaplain. The following week the newly elected officers were installed in their various offices at a monster smoker. Members of the Faculty were present and welcomed the new officers. The retiring officers gave counsel and advice, while the new men responded with short addresses on their plans, hopes and aspirations. Weekly meetings on Wednesday evening allowed the brothers, who were soon to leave, to inculcate the necessary finesse to our knowledge so that we would later be able to carrv on by ourselves. A dance, shortly after the election, gave us the opportunity to act as the hosts, and it was greeted with applause by the older members. During this time plans were formulated for the Annual Banquet which is given during the week of Graduation. Brother Hallenbeck was in charge of the Committee. The evening of May 3rd, 1922, was decided upon, and it was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel. The Twelfth Annual Banquet was a great success, many graduate members attending and welcoming us as brothers. Dean William Mansfield acted as toastmaster. Professor E. C. Hutman responded with, “ This and That;” Pro- fessor W. A. Larkin, “Idiosyncrasy;” William Humphries, “Crayon Artists;” Harold Becker, “Our History;” Harry F. O’Brien, “Kappa Psi.” The Chap- ter’s Orchestra furnished the music, with several of the men playing solos. On Wednesday, September 27, 1922, we congregated again to start the year as Seniors. The schedule for the year was planned and commented on. Looking back, now, we look on achievements that stand out in Beta Delta’s history. Dur- ing the evening it was remarked on the vast amount of material that represented the Junior Class. Plans were made to find those suitable for Kappa P.si’s re- quirements. We found many. ' To go into details would require more space than is allotted, and hence only the real bright points will be touched upon. In the third week of school we entertained our Pledgees at a smoker at which we endeavored to make the new men feel at home. The Faculty assisted in the welcome. Regent O’Brien gave the new men the “ key of the city ” so to speak. Vice-Regent O’Leary spoke on “Application, Concentration and Co-operation.” It was announced that an informal dance would be held at the Yacht Club, and that it would be a pleasure for us to have the Pledge men as our guests. On November 17, 1922, the dance was held. It was an enjoyable occasion. The Pledged men attended in a body. 57 On January 9, 1923, a luncheon was given to members only. It was held at The Park Restaurant. It afforded ah excellent opportunity for the Brothers to get together. The Faculty attended. On January 11, 1923, a formal dance was held at the Aurania Club. The boys put on a “ vast amount of boiled starch and stepped out.” . Facultate mem- bers were present and an enjoyable evening was the outcome. Rodney B. Gallagher was elected as Chaplain vice F. J. Dunn, resigned, on January 17, 1923. The 17th of March lias been set aside as a date on which it is planned to hold an Interfraternity dance. Kappa Psi is doing its utmost to make the affair a success. New officers were elected March 14: Samuel Legault, Regent; Edwin Simon- son. Vice-Regent; John Brackin, .Secretary,; Allan Barnurn, Treasurer; Joseph Morgan, Historian. They were installed at a luncheon at the Park Restaurant March 21. Facultate members were present. The last dance that Kappa Psi will give will be on April 2nd. This will practically close the social season. Formal dance, Hotel Hampton. The crowning event of the year, the Annual Banquet, is being carefully planned by a committee under the direction of Francis G. Scanlon. The other members are: Martin L. Sharbach, William E. Kenny and C. Howard Russell. The thirteenth annual banquet is to be held at the Ten Eyck Hotel on the evening of May 2. The following program has been arranged: Professor E. C. Hutman will act as toastmaster. Dean William Mansfield and Professor W. A. Larkin will give addresses. Charles W. Fuhrer will give the history of the active Chapter. Martin L. Sharbach will entertain with his violin. The new regent will given an address. The music will he furnished by Eddies Melody Boys. Soon after that we will part and go our respective ways, but always keeping in mind that the Get Together Day is at the Annual Banquet in May. -J. J.

As a rule people like to know the beginning of things that interest them. They want to know whether man’s existence can be traced back to the jelly-fish; or whether it began nearly six thousand year go by God forming Adam from a piece of clay. The same is true with the history of drugs. Scholars, men of science and historians began to carry out an investigation for the purpose of knowing the history of drugs. To their surprise they found that ailments and medicines were not uncommon in the early days of the Bible; in fact it: was a universal fault which was as old as the human race itself. For do you not recall your Bible teaching which says that. “ Cain was not Abel ’’ and on further study you will see that Moses ascended Mount Sinai, where he took “Two Tablets” and then moved. So do not become alarmed when you find that the Beta Chapter also had a beginning, for as a matter of fact, it actually originated in the Albany College of Pharmacy on December 4, 1921. The Jewish students of this institution seeing the advisability of forming an organization for purposes of promoting social activities, good fellowship, sym- pathetic co-operation among the students, and above all, an attainment of as high a scholastic standard as possible, organized the Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi Fraternity. At the first, meeting of the Beta Chapter the eleven charter members elected their officers for the year. Frank A. Yaguda was elected the first: President of the Beta Chapter. 11 is fellow officers were: William Jakofsky, Vice-President; Lazarus Weinstein, Secretary; Louis Jafife, Treasurer; Feinburg, Sergeant-at- arms. The newly elected officers were installed and from then on, the ball was kept rolling. The Chapter was highly honored when the members of the Faculty accepted the invitation to become honorary members. During that: year five men active in the Pharmacy profession were, made Alumni members. The Chapter established a prize to he given to the Junior student who attained the highest average in Laboratory work for that year, and also established an award of a Gold Key to the Senior member who attained the highest average in class work. The eyes of the social committee was directed to the first annual banquet. The New Amsterdam TIotel was chosen as the place, and on the evening of May 1, 1922, (he banquet was held. Dean Mansfield was toastmaster. Professor 64 Larkin spoke on, “The Chemistry of Food;” Professor Ilutman, “A Minor Matter;” Frank Heynian, “Commercialized Pharmacy;” I azarus Weinstein, “The Future;” Louis Kotok, “Co-operation; Frank Yaguda, “ Innuendoes.” Election of officers for the ensuing year soon rolled around. It was a spirited election with the result that Lazarus Weinstein was elected President; Louis Kotok, Vice-President; Harry Kantrowitz, Secretary; Michael Auerbach, Treas- urer; Ely Eber, Sergeant-at-arms. After Commencement the Chapter closed its activities until the following school year. After passing the years 1921-1922 with great success the new officers were inspired to carry on the work for 1922-1923. At the opening of the school year Beta Chapter again showed it was alive and active by giving a monster smoker as a welcome to the incoming Junior Students. At this affair the Dean and the Faculty gave speeches of welcome and sound advfr'c for the conduction of our activities which were certainly welcomed and appreciated. The Alumni were also represented and in an extremely pleasing way prophesied a wonderful future for the Fraternity. After the first quarterly examinations ten Pledges were initiated and ac- cepted as members. The initiation was conducted in such a conspicuous manner that it became the topic of the day. Local newspapers gave it a big write-up as well as inserting the pictures of some of the initiates in their original costumes as they appeared on the streets. Those initiated were: Rezeal Kantz, Elmira, N. Y.; Samuel Engel, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Frank Kaminsky, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Joseph JSfadleman, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Morris Kessler, New York, N. Y.; Trying Silber- gleit, Bronx, N. Y.; Jack Zamost, Hartford, Conn.; Gustave Rothschild, Syracuse, N. Y.; Samuel Greenberg, New York City. On the evening of January 16, 1923, Beta Chapter held its first informal dance in the College building. It was a great success, about sixty couples attending the affair. The second affair of this kind was held at the College building on February 8, 1923. Tt was more successful than the first one, about seventy-five couples were present. The rooms of the College were decorated with the banners and colors of the Fraternity. On the evening of March 16th an .Interfraternity dance was held at the Aurania Club. It. was the first affair of its kind and proved to be a big success. The Rho Pi Phi was well represented. Every active member as . well as many alumni attended the affair. On March 15th the Beta Chapter held its election of officers. The results proved entirely satisfactory. Gustave Rothschild was elected Oracle; Irving Silber glcit, Vice-Oracle; Joseph Xadleman, Scribe; Jack Zamost, Treasurer; and Samuel J. Engle, Sergeant-at-Arms. 65 The next week, March 22nd, the new officers were installed after a brief address by the new officers and a few words of advice by the out-going ones, all enjoyed a teed and smoke. This was a “ get-together ” meeting for many alumni were present and all enjoyed the affair. The biggest event of the year for the Beta Chapter, the Second Annual Ban- quet, is being handled by a committee under the supervision of Regeal Kang. The other men on this committee are Samuel Engle, Irving Silbergliet and Ellis Liber- man. The banquet is to be held at the Ten Eyck Hotel on the evening of April 30th. Professor Larkin will act as toastmaster; Dean William Mansfield and Professor E. C. Hutman will give addresses; Harry Kantrowitz will give the history of the chapter; Samuel Engle will entertain with a vocal solo and Emil Koretz will render a cello solo; Alumni Alexander Deiches and Frank Yaguda will give addresses; Ely Eber and the nevwOracle, Gustave Rothschild, will also give addresses. Each member putting his shoulder to the wheel, working in an unselfish man- ner for the good of the Fraternity, made the Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi as it is at present a growing organization full of activity, increasing in strength and membership and looked upon as one of the important institutions of the Albany College of Pharmacy.

Zinnanti In nineteen hundred and seventeen a group of students at the Albany College of Pharmacy, noted for their scholastic ability, being embued with the desire to organize a Fraternity of an honorary nature as well as an organization which serves to meet the1™scholastic and social needs of the student body, started the Alpha Chapter of the Epsilon Phi Fraternity. This group under the able leadership of Brother George Niles Hoffman, whose articles relating to Pharmacy are widely read in pharmaceutical publications, with the assistance of Brother Ralph Young, whose scholastic standing and personality gave him the honor of being valedictorian of his class, later becoming a member of the Faculty, made wonderful progressive strides. The national call to arms at this time was nobly answered by a majority of our Brothers with the result that the affairs of the Fraternity were quiescent until nineteen twenty-one, during which period no social or school activities were participated in. At this time some of the members of the Nineteen Hundred Twenty-two Class banded themselves together rejuvenating the organization and injecting life and pep into it. With Brother Frank A. Squires as President, who at present is a member of the Faculty, aided by his Brother Officers as well as a group of ardent Juniors, the affairs of the Fraternity assumed large propor- tions. Every Brother in the Senior Class took a heartfelt interest in its affairs, social as well as otherwise. Interest in studies was stimulated by discussions, debates and so forth. Public speaking pointers were given by competent men and a reail Fraternal atmosphere pervaded the entire doings of the members. The success of this plan was seen when we had a hundred per cent graduation and one of our Brothers winning the majority of the prizes offered for scholastic ability. The affairs of the Fraternity culminated in a dinner, which the Members of the Board of Trustees and the entire Faculty attended. Very high praise was given at this time by the guests to the officers and members not only for the wonderful showing of the Brothers but for their unceasing efforts to make the organization a model for fellowship, scholastic ability and one which any he-man would be proud to be associated with. 70 Upon his retirement from active participation in Fraternal affairs to take up his duties as a member of the Faculty, Brother Frank A. Squires was exceedingly regretful that this step had arrived. The reins of government were then taken up by Brother Peter Danzilo. In accordance with the traditions sent down by his predecessors Brother Danzilo started on his new duties with vim and vigor. He won honor by his masterlv oresentation of facts at class meetings as well as in the Fraternity room. Surrounded by a corps of able assistants he proceeded to make things hum as they never did before. The scope of the Fraternity was enlarged so as to make it more of an organization devoted to establish a helpful under- standing between the Faculty and its members and Fraternal assistance given to every man with relation to his studies as well as social being, and to promote Brotherly feeling between members. Its members are carefully chosen from the foremost scholars of the Collie. His ability to create a Brotherly and Fraternal air at the various meetings and social fufictions has earned for him the commendation of our Dean and all Professors. Our social functions are invariably attended by the entire Faculty. They have also graced many of our meetings by their presence and their helpful hints and suggestions have served as a stimulus for the men to be continually on their toes to make the best possible showing. Our Graduate Chapter is vitally interested in our welfare and are ever- ready to lend a helping hand along necessary lines. Although the Fraternity is local at the present time, plans are being made by our Graduate Chapter to nationalize it. This means that the Alpha Chapter at the Albany College of Pharmacy will in the future be the Mother Chapter of a National Organization as powerful as we wish to make it, with all the prestige and honor this implies. It means that a member of this Chapter will be connected with the most powerful link in an ever growing chain, with all the advantages of such a connection. With the opening of the new College Building which we hope will be in the next year, we expect to have a place which will be the pride of the College and a source of satisfaction to us, its members. Our future members will be affiliated with an organization which will be a continuous source of help in their studies and finances as well as giving them a permanent abode during College career and a place where smokers, dances and sundry func- tions can be held with convenience. Reunions will take place at least once a year and oftener if possible, and a permanent place will be available for all Graduate Brothers who come to Albany, from time to time, to meet the active Brothers, so that the bonds of fellowship and Fraternal spirit may be more strongly forged. 71 % A Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority Frances K. Rosensweig - - - - President Margaret Ostrander j Vice-President Secretary Bernice Johnston Treasurer Active Members Gertrude Bacher Bernice Johnston Anna Dever Margaret Ostrander Mary Eagle Pauline Stafford Carmelina Fallisi Inis Sherwood Edna Gray Libbie Saccharoff Frances K. Rosensweig In the year 1919, under the auspices of three ambitious, loyal and adept students, the Beta Chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma first came to light in the Albany College of Pharmacy. It is to these girls, Miss Flla Gardner, Miss Ethel Rasmuson and Miss Helen Langford, that we owe so much of the present success. Miss Sadye Kramer, Miss Frances Walters and the honorary members, Mrs. William Mansfield, Mrs. William A. Larkin, Mrs. Jared W. Scudder, Mrs. Seneca S. Smith and Mrs. Ralph Young did much to help the growth of the Sorority during its initial year. Struggling to make it the most popular and outstanding organization that it is to-day, these active workers were rewarded the following year by a very large number of initiates. The next year, 1920, under the leadership of Jane O’Neill, the Sorority accomplished many social activities. Those who aided were Vice-President, Margaret Kennedy; Secretary, Mary Guiltinan; Treasurer, Muriel Bowman; also Marion Denison, Hildegarde Hohl, Henrietta Rabbitt, Jane McCullough, Matilda Patack, Gertrude Forsell and Beatrice Woodworth. Many delightful dances and parties were given this year. Among these were a Halloween party, a Christmas party, April Fool’s Day dance, Alumni dance and the customary banquet at the Hampton Hotel at the close of the school year. Mrs. Salathe was entered on the honorary list. 73 The next year, 1921, the destiny of Lambda Kappa Sigma lay in the hands of President, Helen Radding; Vice-President, Alice Sturtevant; Secre- tary, Alice Bartholomew; Treasurer, Esther Stafford. Not forgetting the good work that had been done in past years, the new officers resolved to not only keep up the good work but also to break the record. Although fewer in number than the year before many interesting affairs were “ put across.” The eventful Christmas party was partly made possible by them, also the vivid and magnificent Alumni ball. A new banner was purchased. The custom of a reunion was again pursued to the utmost. Mrs. Horace M. Carter was a new member to join the ranks of those on the honorary list. hf —Helen Radding, ’22. RETROSPECT Don’t you wish it were September, When you began at A. C. P. ? The jolly times that I remember— Dances—Goodness, gracious me!!! Do you recall that in November “Lambda Kappa” gave a dance? They dressed the school in decorations, Its faded beauty to enhance 1!! The girls just smiled with glad enjoyment, Pretty girls and dresses blended; The boys were proud of their “ employment,” O Memorable Night- how sweet you ended!!! Days went by—then came December, Our party made us happy. This affair was also splendid, Fancy steps and music snappy!!! Then along came frozen January, With lots of snow and frost, And if it weren’t for our subscription dance I’m afraid that we’d be lost!!! Just think of initiation night, The creepy feel you had. How those awful naughty Senior Girls Tried to make us mad!!! How they dressed us up so funny In paper blue and white. Tried to make us take “ Oleum,” You all put up a fight! 1! 74 And I was all exasperated. They kept roe till the last— And as a Martyr weakly faces death. I,, the threshold pass’d 1! 3 I heard Inis laugh at me— And Peggy thought she’d tease. And when Kitty peeled the Garlic, 1 heard Benny sneeze!!! You know how mad a kitten gets When you ruffle up its fur:— And when you smooth it down again It soon begins to purr !! 3 Such was the case of all the girls:— It soon came time to go— We found our hair devoid of curls— We all felt hurt 1 know !! 3 Kitty said. “We’re sorry,” But we’ll get something sweet— Come into this Icc Cream Parlor And eat and eat and eat 3!! And we all did—you may he sure— Then it was late—We had to part • I wish this night could come once more, ’Twill remain forever in my heart!!! Dear Seniors—I have said my say. The great Sorority Extends best wishes for your SUCCESS Through no one else but me!!! Guess who I am, I know you all can; Success to you all. especially Dan 3 3! —Mary Eagle, Historian. 75 Alumni Association This Association was organized March 5, 1883.

P. consist of basketball, track and an occasional base- ball game. Previous to our first year sporting events had fallen somewhat into the discard but our class realizing their possibilities have attempted to revivify them. It is not our purpose here to give you a vivid account of our victories and not to touch upon our failures and vicissitudes, ft is merely to give a detailed account so that in years to come? this article may serve as a small remembrance of our joys, hopes, and sorrows with mingled other feelings that we encountered during our College days. Where to start in is a question but the beginning of the Junior year seems to be the logical place. It was after we recovered from our bashfulness to the extent that we had nerve enough to steal a smoke between classes in the presence of our dear upper-classmen, the Seniors, that somebody suggested a basketball team. The suggestion met with instant approval. We talked the matter over for a long time and finally it was decided to secure the aid of the “ Digni- taries.” The outcome was that Mr. Harry Zeh, president of last year’s Senior Class, was elected manager and Edwin W. Taylor, assistant manager. Mr. Homer P. Lasher, ’23, of Troy, was elected captain. The thought of a gymnasium, of money, games, suits and a coach entered our minds and we set to work to accomplish these things. The obstacles that presented themselves were at times difficult to overcome. A general assessment was made on the classes and the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars was realized. This was not a very large sum but being borne on with our enthusiasm we “ carried on.” The Albany High Gymnasium was secured for practice and games, while Coach Snavely, of State College, rendered us valuable aid. Practice immedi- ately started and a schedule was arranged. It cannot be said that our team was successful, losing the first game to the Albany Y. M. C. A., 23-18, but still it cannot be said to be entirely unsuccessful as will be borne out by the summary at the end. The team will be presented individually and the small amount of praise bestowed upon them is their just due for their efforts. 80 'V % I Captain TTomcivP. Lasher, ’23, Lansingburgh, New York. Chet was our leader, lie was well fitted for the position having had past experience on the- Lansingburgh High Team for two years. At our darkest moments Homer’s smile was always cheerful and his counsel helped us greatly. He was also the stellar player throughout the year. Clyde W. Graves, ’23, Clayton, New York. Clyde filled the position of right forward and much could be said of his work. 11 is uncanny eye for the basket and his continual breaking away from his opponent made him a man to be feared after the first few minutes of play. Charles W. Brooks, ’23, Minoa, New York. Brookic also came to us as a man with past experience having played on basketball and baseball teams in and near Syracuse. Tie filled the position of center with ease, playing all the games in this position. Clarence E. Hayes, '23, Potsdam, New York. Haves fitted the position of right guard holding his opponents down, without much efifort. He had previous experience with the Potsdam Normal High Team. In track he copped the honors in the high jump in his last year high school. He was also noted as a runner. Arthur S. Palmer, ’23, Onconta, New' York. Art was the mainstay always playing the same consistent game as left forward. Art could be depended upon to give his best in each game. The substitutes William S. Inglee, ’23, Whitehall, New York. Bill always played a commendable game whenever called upon to do so. He played in several of the games and made an excellent showing. Becker, of the Class of Twenty-two, and Hayes had a rather interesting struggle for the position of right guard. After closing our season, last year, we succeeded, with the aid of Dean Mansfield, in having the Board of Trustees pass a resolution to the effect of an athletic tax of five dollars to cover the expense of athletics during any school year. After the “ hello’s and handshakes ” and a thorough discussion of the previous summer was over and the school had again settled down to its regular routine, it was considered that a field day between the two classes would he an excellent means to acquaint the members of the two classes. A park was obtained and the necessary plans formulated. The baseball game was held at Beverwyck Park and the track events at Ridgefield Park, nearby. The class obtaining the greatest number of points was to he awarded a loving- cup. The class of twenty-three won, of course by being the more experienced. This cup is to remain in our possession during the remainder of our. stay at the College. 81 One of the main features, in sports this year is our weekly trips to the Y, M. C. A., where, under the direction of Mr. McLaughlin, we have physical training and indoor meets. In this way each man is studied as to his quali- fications for basketball or track and in this manner men who would naturally be disinclined to offer themselves are urged to “ do their bit ” for their Alma Mater. The girls arc not forgotten in this as. they have their training at the - Y. W. C. A., and from what can be learned it is evident that they too are making good as athletes. The basketball team of this year is under the management of Charles W. Brooks. Brooks found a wealth of material in the Junior Class and with the exception of a few the Seniors were obliged to take a back seat as they forced the class before them to do. Some of the members of the team of last year were forced to hand in their suits by virtue of their scholastic standing. The record of the meet above mentioned is as follows: The Senior Class won by a score of 58-29. The baseball game was also won by the Seniors, 1 o-7. Freeman, Brooks and Palmer; Ehrman, Marone and Barnum were the batteries, Senior and Junior, respectively. Inglee of the Seniors featured the track and field games and personally scored 18 points.

The idea was primarily, to have an organization that could lie called upon to officiate at school functions in an efficient manner. Its scope, soon after organization was widened to take in functions such as dances, smokers, etc., given by the various societies. During the past year, the orchestra has played at eleven affairs. Most of these have been of a remunerative nature, so that there would be no hardship inflicted on anyone, a certain percentage of the earnings were paid into the club treasury to defray incidental expenses of traveling, music, etc. The organization is distinctly an honorary one, members having to maintain definite scholastic standings. The efforts of the orchestra have been praised whenever they have been retained for dances and other affairs. The members have derived much benefit and amusement from rehearsals and parties of their own. The organization has been permanently established as an official school activity on a par with athletics and fraternities. There is no doubt but what in the future, there will be keen competition amongst the students to be counted a member of the “ College Orchestra.” 86 Press Club Clarence Hayes Chairman Louis Miller ... Vice-Chairman Carl Ruhl I a v i ngston Coulter Bernice Johnston John Callahan Frances K. Rosensweig Pauline Stafford Knowledge .s' Power.” The Press Club was organized with the express purpose of giving greater publicity to the social, athletic, and other interesting events that take place during the College year. Tt has been found that in this way the popularity of the school is greatly enhanced and also presents a more interesting appeal to the prospective student. That the ways and means by which this is attained may be inculcated into the minds of the succeeding class, members of the Junior Class are invited to sit in consultation with the more experienced Seniors. In order that interest may not lag in this regard a meeting is called as the occasion demands and each member is requested to state his or her ideas in unequivoca,ble terms. The need of organized effort in behalf of this has long been felt and though the club is still in its infancy much has been done to further the ideals of the College. It is hoped that as time goes oti this club will grow in strength and wisdom portraying in interesting accounts to the people at large the import- ance of their calling and instil a better understanding of the profession as such. 87 s ♦ i s i X i JUNIOR z' i • THE JUNIOR CLASS % R.

So far, it has been quite rough, Pent-Etre? That day nobody knew anything or anybody and everybody wanted to know everything and everybody. But with a few days things began to move and it wasn’t long before at least a few faces and names were known. Finally most of the faces are connected with their right names. Now, however, we are beginning to learn all about the great cities most of the faces come from and are waiting Tor that happy day when it will be ours to explore them. Some of the Juniors are kept quite busy exploring Albany, and, from what we hear, have found some priceless treasure caves. But, “ day by day in every way,” etc.—you know the rest. Closely following the opening of College an athletic meet was arranged be- tween the Junior and Senior Classes, consisting of a baseball game at Beaver Park and other sports ai Ridgefield Park. A certain number of points were allowed for each sport, and the class obtaining the greater number was to be the recipient of a silver loving cup. Everybody was quite certain that they would win, and of course they did. The Seniors won the ball game and numerous other sports, but did you notice the points for the girls’ dash were credited to the Juniors? We were horribly disappointed, but perhaps we weren’t meant for sports, judging from the present class average. One consolation is left, us—next year. Then, perhaps, we might get a look at the silver loving cup. Don’t you think both Mr. Janaro and Mr. Harrison won a few points for the Junior Class? In due time somebody decided that we should organize and—organize we did. A chairman was appointed to carry on the election, and we’ll say he didn’t lack assistants. After considerable bickering and arguments, and more arguments with heaps of noise, Dean Mansfield appeared and saved the day. The election from then on was quiet, to say the least. The election results were as follows: President, Mr. R. G. Ehrmann; First Vice-President, Mr. Lyons; Second Vice-President, Mr. H. Brown; Secretary, Miss P. Stafford; Treasurer, Mr. A. L. Barnum; Reporter, Miss E. Shields; Historian, Miss E. Gray; Cheer Leaders, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Janaro. Due to the fact that Mr. Lyons left College in a few weeks, a new First Vice was elected. Mr. H. Brown, acting Second Vice, was elected First Vice and Mr. S. Carlat elected Second Vice. The class also adopted a constitution which was 92 submitted to them by Professor Hutman, the author. This constitution was also adopted by the Senior Class and is one which we are sure can’t be beat, seeing that Professor Hutman spent his summer writing it. On October twentieth the Juniors were entertained by the Seniors with a dance at the Aurania Club. It proved to be a great social success. The week of October thirtieth held a great dread for most of us. and at last it arrived with practically all that we had been fearing. The week soon passed and then we found out who was “ born under the drug star..” Most of us must have been born a good distance away from it, it seems. Then with many resolu- tions we commenced our second term. A few weeks later, November twenty-seventh, to be exact, the Seniors were the guests of the Junior1! at an informal dance held at the Yacht Club. The Com- mittee in charge were: Mr. G. Beach, Chairman; Miss M. Eagle, Mr. Carlat and Mr. Grundhoeffer. From the Seniors we heard it was fKwonderful success. Again, the week of December eighteenth, exams, filled our every thought, and, judging from results, our resolutions held good. At the end of the second quarterly the Junior Class held an average higher than any other Junior Class has ever held at Pharmacy. Hope that the fourth quarterly has a success of its own! The Friday before the Christmas holidays the students were entertained by the Faculty and Trustees at Eastern Star Hall. In the afternoon the students were entertained by a musical program, consisting of a piano solo by Miss M. Eagle, one of the talented juniors, a quartette, composed of Seniors and the Col- lege orchestra. Mr. Janaro was quite amusing in his reading, nest-ce-pas? We are sure a certain young Junior fell for that seller of oranges. We are looking forward to some cart wheels next year, by another of our talented Juniors. Mr. William Gibson addressed the students at the conclusion of the musical program, and certainly we were just as glad to have him with us as he was to be with us. Mr. George B. Evans also addressed the students. The dis- tribution of gifts was the next thing on the program, and then the fun began! “Did anybody see my monkey?” The remainder of the afternoon was spent in. dancing. A scrumptious luncheon was served, which surely every one enjoyed, for there were oodles of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake, not to mention the mammoth cakes sent by the fraternities. In the early part of the evening the Seniors conducted a mock trial which was followed by an informal dance. The whole day was a wonderful success and the Juniors certainly appreciated the good time given them. During the month of January the fraternities commenced taking in their new members. We all became interested watching for straw hats and lanterns, and brown derbys. Nor were we surprised when we spied them down town play- ing checkers. Now they are all happy and waiting till they can get their hands on the next ones. 93 The social event which is considered the foremost one given by the College every year to the Seniors is the Junior Prom. The Prom of the Class of 1924 was held Friday evening, February sixteenth, in the ball room of the Ten Eyck hotel. Dancing started at nine o’clock, and at ten o’clock the Grand March, headed by the Class President, began. Intermission was from twelve-thirty o’clock to one fifteen o’clock, during which time dinner was served in the Ten Eyck. After intermission dancing continued until half-past three o’clock. Music was furnished by McGuirk’s Orchestra of Albany. The ball room was attractively decorated with the banners of the Junior Class. Kappa Psi. Alpha Epsilon Phi, Rho Pi Phi. the fraternities and of Lambda Kappa Sigma, the sorority. The patrons and patronesses were members of the faculty and their wives. The gentlemen received leather card cases bearing the College seal, while their partners received leather vanity cases which also were inscribed with the College seal. The Committees in charge of the Prom were: Mr. Harold Smith, General Chairman; Program Com- mittee, Miss G. Murphy and Mr. J. Bracken; Decoration Committee, Miss I. Sherwood; Punch Committee, Miss F. TIare and Mr. Coucher� Favor Committee. Miss A. Dever and H. J. Smith; Orchestra Committee, Mr. E. Cohen, Air.

Ah, that it were so— I dream’t the river was full of wine, Instead of H.,0. And all the town went rushing down When they had heard the news, To fill their mugs and empty jugs With the Mighty Hudson’s booze. And everyone went wild with joy, They thought that it was fine! They all went down and tried to drown Their thirsty souls in wine. The odor of the fragant stuff Was wafted on the breeze— Oh, strange, strange sight! The birds got tight And staggered in the trees. I watched the men from miles around Join students from A. C. P. Nineteen were killed and gallons spilled To get two quarts or three. I watched the temperate faculty, Who hated the wine filled cup— “ Medicinal Use ” was their excuse— As they filled their bath tubs up. T leached the brink and knelt to drink But sad I op’d my eyes; For then at last the vision passed; Oh, dreams are nasty lies! 102 i A PEW “ IPS AND ANDS ’’ What Would Happen : “ If ” Normile was at ease during a quizz “ and ” Kenny was excited. “If” Russell was seen without his sideburns “ and ” Ruhl without his moustache. “If” Rod Gallagher wore a white shirt “and” Dewell stepped out with the hovs. 4 “If” O’Brien, Welch and Scanlon all came ttKschool on time “and” found Taylor there ahead of them. 1 “ If ” Clarence Lawler flunked an exam “ and ” Kantrowitz did the same thing. “ If ” A1 Smith kept quiet “ and ” Lonergan didn't have his usual wise crack. “ If ” Rheingold got boisterous “ and ” Drew helped him out. “ If ” McClellan was not prepared for a quiz “ and ” Maxwell stayed awake during one. “ If ” Bob McLanc “ and ” Bert Freeman reduced. “ If ” Joe Walsh appeared in public without that dignified look “ and ” Duke Pacilio without his cigar.

R. 106 Board and Room A young man. fresh from the wilds of St. Lawrence County, and pies freshly baked after having been moulded by Mother’s hands, arrived in Albany about six o’clock one rainy afternoon in September. Albany, to show to best advantage, must be viewed in the Spring of the year and in early morning when the sun is shindig brightly upon her hilly outline. The best time is when the buds are appearing and trees are putting on their garments of green. Then, taking the l’laza as a point of vantage, one gazes in wonder at the sight that unfolds itself. Standing, with one’s back to the building and looking up State Street, the vast amount of traffic at the intersection with Pearl Street will first hold the attention. Then following the busy string up the hill you will notice that the formation is diverted into two sections, one going up Washington Avenue and the other continuing up State Street. Between the two streets is an expanse of well- kept lawn with many stately trees bordering the walks. As a fitting back- ground to all this stands the Capitol with its many angles strangely mellowed by the bright rays of the early sun shining through the new foliage on the trees. This effect is very pleasing. But, if tlie city is viewed for the first time on a rainy day in late Sep- tember, it furnishes a very different impression. Imagine the feelings of this lonesome young man, Lyle May by name, of Brayton, when he arrived on a late afternoon train from the north, at Union Station. A misty rain, com- bined with the smoke from the many busy engines, created an atmosphere anything but pleasing. Following the crowd through the underground tunnel May finally passed through the spacious concourse of the station and on to Broadway. By this time, being pretty well discouraged, he wandered aimlessly down the street. Finally he summoned up enough courage to inquire his way to the Albany College of Pharmacy. The man directing him did not seem to be acquainted with it but sent him up Beaver Street. Arriving on Pearl he again inquired the way and this information was sufficient to get him to Eagle Street. Knowing that the College was on this street he felt assured that he could find it. Keeping his eyes open for an imposing looking structure with a well-kept campus he passed the place several times. Fearing that this was riot the street he again sought informa- tion. His informant directed his attention to a building across the street, on whose sides was proclaimed in large gold lettering. ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY. To say that May was surprised would be putting it too 107 mildly—he was stunned. He had expected to find something different from the ordinary four-story building. However, lie could not disbelieve the testi- mony of his eyes. Tie crossed the street and tried the door which refused him entrance, and, thoroughly disheartened, he sal down on his bag to take stock. His thoughts ran riot and he was strongly tempted to return to his home. Then he thought of the consequences of such an act. The old crowd would never let him hear the last of it. They would take him as being a quitter and that did not appeal. Then he thought of his lifelong ambition to become a Ph.G. Feeling obliged to remain he again took note of his bearings. Obstructing his view of the building was another young man, suitcase in hand, studying the somber walls and darkened interior. May, thinking that perhaps this was a kindred spirit, accosted him. The other chap proved his contention was correct and the two strdfek up an acquaintance which was later cemented by the bond of friendship. May learned that'thc other’s name was Claud Gray from Pottsville. “ Misery loves Company.” So (bey decided to stick it out together and that it was time to find a room to rest their weary selves. They started up Lancaster Street looking for a “ Rooms To Let ” placard. At the first house the landlady asks where each is from. Not knowing the. location of either Brayton or Pottsville she asked them what they intended to do in Albany. On being informed that they were to be students at Albany College of Pharmacy she looked sadly at them and said that she had no rooms at present. Both were very much surprised at the sudden change in the otherwise pleasant lady. However, when they turned to ask the reason for the sign, if she bad no rooms, they found that the door had been closed upon them. Much taken aback by such treatment they, turned their weary feet to the street and continued their search. The next place at which they stopped the lady who answered the bell flatly refused them a room when she learned where they expected to attend. She said that she had enough experience with college boys and that she absolutely wanted no more to do with them. Having impressed these few potent facts on their minds, with many shakings of her index finger, she slammed the door in their faces. By this time the pair was thoroughly discouraged and decided to pass up the next two places in order to change their luck. At the third place they were more lucky. The man who answered the ring, after asking numerous questions about their pedigree finally opened the door a trifle and let them slide in. After letting them in he proceeded to look them over suspiciously. Evidently convinced that they were harmless he preceded them up three flights of stairs to a small room in the rear of the house. The guide, after much fumbling, succeeded in lighting a flickering gas-jet. The room viewed in this dim light was far from prepossessing. It boasted of but a single small window opening on an air shaft. The furniture consisted of a double bed, 108 a wash stand, bureau, two straight-backed chairs, and a small table. The meagerness of the room and the much-used and abused look of the furniture did not present a cozy appearance. Rathered discouraged at the looks of the room, but fearing that their feet would not carry them much farther and the prospect of other refusals, led them to take the room for a week. After the man had gone Gray remarked that when he paid a week’s rent he hadn't expected to pay the man’s taxes for a year. May answered that now that they had bought the house what in the world were they going to do with it The next morning, after reporting to the college, they set out to look for a boarding house. Boarding-house keepers did not seem so hard to please and very quickly they found a place in the same neighborhood as their room. After the first meal the boys decided that eating in Albany was nothing like eating at home. The soup was mostly water, but water can be taken without any dangerous results if the constitution becomes adapted to it. The rest of the food was more palatable and their hunger was dispelled, but it lacked the appeal so apparent in the meals to which they had been accustomed. They soon adapted themselves to the change and though many longings filled their heart they soon became used to boarding-house fare. From these remarks it will be seen that the first impressions obtained by May and Gray were not so pleasant, but this side of college life soon ceased to bother them. Having become immersed in the social life of the place they are found to be Albany’s most ardent supporters. After taking a long walk up beyond Washington Bark and vicinity they are heard to remark, “ This is SOME TOWN.” J. V. W. 109 A Perfect Day Dates always bored me; but tbe day on which the story, I am about to relate, happened, was so eventful that even the date had carved itself on my memory. It happened on February 5, 2800. It was one of those typical cold winter days with plenty of snow for which Albany is noted. Our home was indeed comfortable as our fuel supply was plentiful. The “ Half Grain Radium Furnace ” which was installed ten years af 6, at the time the house was built, was in good shape and its condition much the same as'the day it was installed. From the news which came over the radio at breakfast time, it looked as though the day was going to be pleasant in spite of the cold weather. As usual, after breakfast, I went into the laboratory. At that time I was making a chart for the verification of the absolute weight of the Hydrogen atom. I was about to place one of these tiny individuals on the balance when Adelia came rushing in with a frightened look in her eyes. After I had managed to calm her a little she informed me that she had just received word over the radio from California that her mother had met with an accident and that she must leave for Los Angeles at once. We consulted a time table and to our regret we found that the next plane leaving for California' was at 10.18, a local, and that it would not reach her destination until 12.02. Adelia never liked long trips especially when she was in a hurry, and she complained bitterly of having to sit in a plane for two hours with nothing to do but read. I tried to pacify her by reminding her that a few hundred years ago a trip to California would take a week. “ 1 don’t know how they ever managed to get around in those days,” I added. “Yes,” she agreed, “You said a ‘mouth- ful.’ ” A term, which Adelia had picked up out of a very old book. She said it was used a great deal in the early part of the twentieth century. Classical as that term might be, I never could understand the real meaning of it. We finally got everything ready in time for the 10.18 which took Adelia to her mother’s side. I attempted to straighten things in the house, and before I knew it, it was time to prepare lunch. Here is where I began to experience the most disagreeable day of my life. Not that I was indifferent to my mother-in-law’s sudden misfortune, for, I am indeed very fond of her; but my system has a mean way of acting when it expects something good to eat and is disappointed. 110 I decided to have a nice juicy steak and mushrooms. As this was about the easiest dish for the “ Synthetic Food Machine,” to turn out. After having pumped in enough air into the reservoir to synthesize my favorite dish, i pressed the “ steak well done ” button. Glancing through the window I saw Walter coining home from school. As soon as he came in and removed his coat he began telling me of a controversy he had with a boy of the fifth grade who showed him an equation and dared him to integrate it. “ It would be a shame, if I, being two grades above him would be unable to do it,” he said. 1 looked at tht paper and explained that with a few substitutions the integration could be don very nicely. I added that he could put it off until evening as it. was now time for lunch. I went back to the kitchen to get my s gak and behold what I found w;as a frozen flat piece of meat with a thick, white layer of fat above it. You see, I had forgotten to press the “ Endothermic Reaction ” button. The synthesis took up so much heat that it froze the steak. As much as 1 detest cold meat T had to eat it for want of something better, hoping to have better luck with the dessert. Walter decided that we would have ice cream. This time I made sure of all my ingredients. I pressed the “ Ice,” “Butter,” “Sugar,” “Milk,” “ Cream,” “Vanilla,” and “Egg” buttons, but this day’was destined to be an adverse one for me. Instead of finding a rich, velvety ice cream T pulled out a can containing lumps of ice floating on milk and eggs, with a heavy sediment of sugar at the bottom. It didn’t take me long to find the cause of this unearthly mixture. I plumb forgot to press the “ Colloid ” button. For the evening meal I decided to take no more chances. I called Adelia by radio and asked for full directions for synthesing Veal Chops and Apple Pie. Adelia was always exact and she insisted that I take down the formulae on paper. For the benefit of those who may desire to use it Sometime I gladly give it here: (C120HZ39)52C00 + CsH60z + H2°- Pie 1 ? _ CY Veal Chop She further instructed me to use cither a Pyrex or an Aluminum pan for the Apple Pie, but she cautioned me that if I used the latter, to be sure that the Hydroxyl Ion concentration does not exceed 10-5 because Aluminum is amphoteric and is readily attacked by Hydroxyl Ions. Ill With this information I am sure even the most ignorant of bakers couldn’t help but turn out a perfect pie, and I would have, too, had I pressed the “ Apple ” button. As it was, what T took out of the Synthetic Food Machine was two layers of perfectly baked crust with nothing between them. The Veal Chops, however, made up for everything. They were absolutely perfect. The strangest thing about the Chops was that I could not remember pressing any buttons for them. It was not until two hours later that Adelia returned from California. 1 related to her the mystery of the Chops. She thought that strange but shortly after recalled the fact that she had made them to take along with her, but had forgotten them. Adelia was very sorry that I had spent such a disagreeable day, and, with that smile that is peculiar to her when she was about to spring a surprise, said, “ I will make up for that right now. I came across a new dish in one of the old books I took along for reading. It was very popular in the early twentieth century. They called it ‘ Ham and over.’ ” I agreed that the sound was rather appetizing and an excellent portion of it concluded a rather trying day. G. L. FitEUtiD. 112 The Pharmacist at Work The pharmacist of to-day is a man held in high esteem by the average man. Nevertheless this respect, or perhaps envy, does not keep this average man from haggling over the price of a quarter of a pound of epsom salt if he thinks the pharmacist will drop the price a nickel. If the pharmacist does, the man thinks he has “ put one over ” and will return on the morrow ready to do the same thing. But somewhere, perhaps far back in the dim, dark past, the pharmacist has been taught a lesson in the subject entitled, “ A Study of Human Nature,” and he quotes to himself from memory (ofttimes refreshed by practical applications), “ Never, however small may be the sum in question, deter from your principle of ‘ One Price to Everyone,’ by allowing the so-called bargain hunter to persuade or induce you to drop the price on an article.” Perhaps it was during his apprenticeship that the pharmacist learned this les- son, or perhaps later, but learn it he did. Now he passes on the knowledge thus obtained to a younger generation. Speaking of studies! What other profession includes so many? Surely medicine, law and the ministry do not. Take the training, or some of it, given to each of the above, and add studies in finance, advertising, diplomacy, salesman- ship, etc., besides. He, the pharmacist, must not only be a skilled worker of his brain and his tongue, but his fingers have to obey his every whim. To the un- believer we would suggest the following so that he may be convinced. Let him fill one hundred capsules, make a dozen suppositories by hand, make an emulsion and then simply tie up a respectable looking package. Of course the pharmacist has splendid training. The law-makers have said the would-be pharmacist must graduate from a College of Pharmacy and shall have had a definite number of years of experience, working in a drug store. The course in the colleges, we all agree, is quite essential, but quite a bother. A bother when you stop to think of the splendid course in soda-fountain work you were receiving and which counts in many cases as “ drug store experience.” You won- der, “Will I make as good a pill-roller as I did a soda jerker? ” Then doubt arises. But preceding and intermingling with the course in soda-fountain work comes that excellent training in errand running and package delivering. Often in after life one can look back and realize with certainty how. and just how, he obtained such wide knowledge of geography. So after many trials and temptations the “ would-be ” graduates from college and finds he has enough “ experience ” to face the last of his obstacles—the State 113 Board. Examination. As we find him as a pharmacist we know he passed, even though he thought he wouldn’t. The world lies at his feet. (But it don’t stay there long, for soon he thinks it is resting on his back, like Atlas of plden times.) Now life really begins for this enterprising young man. He enters the em- ploy of another pharmacist. Here his studies continue and form something of a post-graduate course. Here it is he learns about pharmacy and.pharmaceutical preparations 'what he should have learned in college, but didn’t. But what he didn’t learn never troubled him very much. There was always a dance or show to drive away dull care. Now he knows more about the later part of social func- tions than the beginning, mainly because he never gets to any but the end. Why? Store hours! Although the boss may he a good sleeper in the mornings the clerk can’t be. It is the duty of the underman, the junior, to give the boss precedence; and he takes it. JV After years of this toil the hardy pass on and become owners of stores, man- agers, etc. The weak ones have succumbed to the rigors of the training and may now be resting peacefully in some cemetery, or slowly convalescing, attempting to regain their former attitude toward life by reading “ Success” and practicing the applications of the principles of Emile Coue (a former pharmacist). No, indeed, our pharmacist is lord of all. That is, until his income tax comes due. But soon this slight annoyance is past for that year and his old congenial, suaveness has returned. When the alarm goes off mornings he can shut it off and take another nap. Even Tut-ankh-amen couldn’t do that—he didn’t have an alarm clock! When our pharmacist-proprietor reaches the store he finds everything in fine shape and nothing to mar the day. Only the soda fountain has sprung a leak and flooded the cellar, thus damaging several cases of hi? own make, “ Combined Hair Restorer and Corn Remover.” Then, too, the bank had called up to say that a check he had cashed for Bill Jones amounting to $67.13 had been returned marked “ No Funds.” One of the boys, while sweeping cut the store had stumbled and fallen, thus breaking a show case. Otherwise everything was fine and the day’s batch of citrate of magnesia would soon be finished. The mail brings greetings from all the old friends, Parke-Davis, Squibb, “ Kellogg’s Tasteless Castor Oil,” and even Lydia Pinkham sends a note. But no matter what the reputation of the writer, nor the length of the friendship, all of these epistles are consigned to that receiver of many other masterpieces of the human mind—the waste-basket. Just as our friend finishes his mail he is called to his place on the bridge— the space behind the counter—and here he upholds his reputation in being able to calm irritable and peevish women. For this ability the neighborhood moguls have given him the title—Mr. Smooth. 114 Again he retires to Iris private (?) sanctum. All the clerks are on their toes, and see how the work progresses. Well it is that it should, for when the boss goes out a private luncheon will he served at the fountain and all available resting places will be occupied ’til the sound of his voice or even his footsteps gives the signal to disperse. Then the work again receives attention. This time luck played with the hoys. We find awaiting our pharmacist an ever-growing line of commercial ambassadors (they have oilier names too). See how the boss takes his time in the rear of the store. How carefully he hunts for something with which to occupy himself, and thus have an excuse for not going out in front. But the clerks knew his habits and forestalled him. Finally he goes out and greets the first one. “Good morning! Is there something I can do for you?” “Good morning, Doctor! this from the first , and then he continued: “1 represent the Gadzooks Ground Goat Gland Co. of Pikes Peak, Colorado. We are making an extensive campaign here in the East just now and desire your co- operation. Now, we offer two dozen packages of Ground Goat Glands for $24.00, and we give you one-sixth of a dozen free. Then, toe. we guarantee their sale, take back all unsold goods and will give you a demonstration if you wish. Prob- ably you’ve heard how in our public demonstrations we feed a canary Ground Goat Glands, and in five minutes it begins to warble exactly like a nightingale. We also give it to a cat and it warbles too—that is—1 mean—well the comparison isn’t the same. But thus you see that Ground Goat Glands arc wonderful for both men and women, adults and children, male or female. How many gross would you like?” “No, I won't be interested to-day.” The boss cast a sigh. And well he might, for by mental arithmetic he had calculated a couple of hours must he spent with those remaining fourteen agents. Again it started. “Doctor, how did you enjoy your breakfast, to-day? Do you know that in New York City alone there arc 1,437,627 people who go without breakfast be- cause of the trouble connected with getting it. Taking that fact into consideration the Consolidated Breakfasts, Limited, of Rensselaer, have undertaken, a gigantic scheme to breakfast the country. Just think what it would mean to the weary, sleep-desiring office worker, to have his breakfast prepared and waiting for him each and every morning, rain or shine. “ Here's where you come in, Doctor. Just think of the other trade it will bring you. “We deliver to your store, every morning, on a tray, a bregpkfast fit for any epicure; all you have to do is see that,the individual receives his tray. We get the customers, guaranteeing to have them all within a radius of one mile. For your part of the transaction, and taking in, too, the advertising value of the idea. 115 - we will allow you four cents on each breakfast delivered. This service starts Monday. Shall we sign you up for it ? ” The pharmacist sighed, but it was al- most a groan. “ No, I can’t use any breakfasts,” he said. One by one the remaining salesmen attempted to persuade the lxxss to stock some article or take advantage of some wildcat scheme. They presented all kinds of articles. One suggested a side line of ladies’ hats as a part of the endeavor to secure business. Hair dyes, bonbons, a portable safe and combination burglar alarm, a new dictionary and others were offered. But on this particular day the pharmacist was not susceptible to any persuasion and passed by all the so-called opportunities to buy and reap the harvest of easy dollars. For he remembered the flooded cellar. By the time the last salesman had finished his appeal it was time for the boss to go to lunch. Work, on the part of most of the clerks, ceased the moment he had stepped out of the door, not to be resumed until the time came for his return. They did work during the afternoon, for upon his return he saw to it that they did. Apparently during his time away from the store be had been doing some planning to the sorrow and dismay of the clerks. Orders came immediately. The fountain must be fixed. The cellar cleaned up and the damaged goods looked over and taken care of. No loafing this afternoon. Everything progressed in fine shape for a couple of hours. The pharmacist had only one emulsion and one batch of suppositories to make. Then a clerk hoisted a distress and help wanted signal. The boss responded to the call for aid. An Italian woman wanted something but could not make the clerk understand. “ I wanta da chest cedar,” she told the boss. “ And 1 tell her we don’t sell cedar chests,” explained the clerk. “No! No! Mista, I wanta chest cedar, not cedar chest.” The woman was quite emphatic, probably due to being unable to make the clerk understand. “ Yes, Madam, we have it.” And then the boss turned to the clerk. “ Get the lady some oil of cedar, for use on the chest.” Once more the pharmacist retired from the floor, but not to remain away long. The saying goes, that there never was a war that a woman didn’t have a hand in starting. So it is in the drug store. For 95 per cent of all drug-store complaints and troubles are started by the weaker sex. The remaining five per cent—well, the women make the men carry out the arguing campaign. “ I want to see the proprietor of this store immediately! ” The war is on. The store versus an irritable and unreasonable woman. The pharmacist comes front again. “ I just told your clerk I wanted to see you. I bought this hot-water bottle here and it leaks. I want a new bottle. Why you ought to see the damage the leaking water did.” Again the feminine got the first word. (We take it for granted she will have the last, too.) 116 The boss took the hot-water bottle, examining it. and handed it back to the woman, saying as he did so, “Are you sure you purchased this bottle here ? ” “Certainly 1 got it here, and only a little while ago, loo,” was her reply. “ But, Madam, we never handled that line of rubber goods,” the pharmacist remarked. After some more arguing the woman suddenly remembered that she bad bought the bottle at a special sale in one of the department stores down town. And with that remark she argued no more, but then proceeded to purchase one of the water bottles of the standard line carried by the pharmacist. The boss decided after this that it would be useless to attempt any further work at his desk. So he stayed “ on the floor ” waiting on customers, visiting with friends and acquaintances who came in the store, persuading some and soothing some who came in with ruffled feelings. Again the application and fitness of his cognomen, Mr. Smooth, was verv evident. And the customers, all classes, races, ages and sex. For is not the drug store the meeting place for all and the place where rich and poor, black and white, re- ceive the same treatment. Of course there is some deference shown in the case of women and children. Every customer requires a different method of approach and treatment, flere the adaptability and sense of humor of the pharmacist comes to the fore. Courtesy, pleasantness, quickness and service applied to each customer’s problems, brings trade to the store and friends to the man. Those taken together stand as a per- petual advertisement, and a good one, for the store. Many a customer, after purchasing some article has asked, “ How does the pharmacist keep in such a good humor all the time?” Training! There’s the answer. The afternoon was waning when a girl of seven or eight years approached the pharmacist and said, “ My mother sent me after ten cents worth of something to dye the baby.” What store gets more strange requests than the drug store? “What is your mother going to dye the baby for, little girl? Even the phar- macist was puzzled for the time lreitig. The girl shrugged her tiny shoulders and answered, “ I don’t know. But baby’s sick and mother sent me here for ten cents worth of that stuff.” Racking his brain, trying to recall an incident of his own youth, the pharmacist retired to the rear of the store. At last it came to him. He went front again and asked the child, “ Has the baby got the jaundice?” The child quickly answered in the affirmative. The pharmacist, to make sure, got down his U. S. P. and referred to saffron. Then ten cents worth of this drug was soon in the child’s possession. Another problem of the day had been solved. Feeling that his presence was not needed for waiting on trade the pharmacist retired from the floor once more. His monthly alcohol report was due on the next day. So another trait or accomplishment came into use. Bookkeeping receives 117 its share of attention in the drug store and is augmented by the requirement set forth by the United States Government and state governments that a detailed record be kept of all alcohol used and all narcotics used and sold. And this record- keeping is ever a source of annoyance and trouble. Often the imaginations of the boss and his clerks are called into play in addition to their memories. For the chances are ten to one that the record won’t correspond to the actual amount used. However, there is always a unanimous assertion from the clerks that “ they don’t know how it occurred.” But the clerks never do; the boss didn’t either when he was a clerk. The attention of the pharmacist was next taken up by one of the clerks, thus interrupting work on the records and reports. The clerk, ever on the watch, had received a prescription in which the doctor writing it had very evidently made a mistake. The prescription, calling for thirty powders, had been miswritten. As it stood when received, each powder was to contain three-tenths of a gram of nitroglycerine. Both the clerk and the pharmacist had recognized the excessiveness of the dose. Here was a case for diplomacy on the part of the pharmacist. For sometimes doctors dislike correction. Nevertheless the prescription was incorrect and dangerous as it was written. The pharmacist phoned the doctor. The doctor, in this case being human in his dealings with his fellow men, thanked the phar- macist. and corrected the prescription to read three-tenths of a gram for thirty powders. The training a man receives ever asserts itself. From the earliest days of their college life the clerk and the pharmacist had been carefully and systematically trained to watch for an overdose. Ask the pharmacist if he had to study doses very much. His reply will be emphatic, for he’ll tell you he had doses to study every day, until finally he began to wonder if the course was anything more than a dose of doses. The result of this training and preparation is seen in the quickness and cer- tainty with which the incorrect dose is recognized. Suppertime for the boss means another rest and lunch for the clerks. No one lets Opportunity knock at the door and go away unanswered. The early evening brought the usual rush of customers for a short time. The boss was always in the habit of assisting on the floor, thus letting the other pharmacist remain working at the prescription counter. To-night the time passed and at the usual time the clerk had not returned. The time wore on. Finally.- during the rush of trade, in staggered the clerk. Attempting to step behind a showcase, he knocked a case of dyes to the floor, breaking the case. At this act the pharmacist’s temper became ruffled. The clerk was trying to fix the case. To him the boss said. “ There is no use in your staying around here to-night for I won’t let you wait on trade, nor put up prescriptions. And see to it that this does not happen again.” Staggering out, even as he staggered in, the clerk went home. 118 Another burden added to the lot of the pharmacist- This time the burden is both physical and mental. Never will his trust in this man be the same. How. when at home, is our friend to know whether the clerk is drunk or sober? How many prescriptions has he put up while in that condition? What has been his treatment of the customers? These and like questions will from now on cause the boss much anxiety and worry. Realizing the value of life, the boss knows a drunken clerk has no place in a drug store. The burden of Atlas seems to become greater and greater every day. Trade became somewhat dull as the evening advanced. Many old customers dropped in, some with the fixed purpose of buying something, while others came in to visit with the boss. Then, too, the regular share of another class of trade was not overlooked. Trade in postage stamps, use of the telephone and directory, and people after information constitute sonic of this class. The pharmacist carries stamps merely as a convenience to the public, ye nne woman made a written com- plaint to the Post Office Department at Washington because the pharmacist hap- pened to be temporarily out of them. Not only was the ordinary public well represented, but a few special cronies gathered in the back of the store toward closing time. A physician, an insurance agent, a successful Jew grocer, a policeman and a jeweler comprised the regular gang. Some nights there were additions, but not so to-night. Stories and experi- ences soon saturated the back-room atmosphere. The doctor, ever quite willing to talk, never missed a chance to quote an experience. These were true, but soon became repetitions and so quite tiresome to his audience. To-night he started off by saying, “Well, boys, I saw a funny tiling to-day. Bootlegging a la mode. 1 stopped in at Jefferson’s Pharmacy for a tube of ethyl chloride. While waiting J noticed some hurried signals between the proprietor and a customer. I stayed there until I discovered the code. The way it is done is this: A customer will come in the store and start tapping his nose. One hurried tap, in the presence of the proprietor or clerk, brings forth one pint. Two taps, two pints, and so on. the number of taps tells the number of pints wanted. Not a word is spoken. No wonder Jefferson is getting rich.” The policeman had been smiling while the doctor told his story. “ Sure,” he said, “ I knew that a long while.” The Jew grocer turned to the pharmacist saying, “ You ought to start selling whiskey too. With your extensive trade you'd soon make a fortune.” The pharmacist had been expecting this. “ No,” he said, “ I was trained to be a pharmacist, not a saloon-keeper. Therefore the stuff will not be sold here. Too many so-called drug stores are doing business that way. Deluding the public into believing them to be first-class, ethical pharmacies. When the clerks in one of these stores think ‘ dog grass ’ is a patent dog food and that ‘ Maltine with Cas- 119 � cara ’ is ‘ Muiford’s Tablets of Cascara,’ it’s time something was done to give the public a fair chance. • For that same clerk might think strychnine was saccharine and then what would happen ? ” The conversation drifted to other phases of everyday life. Finally, as it was getting late for these other men (not for the pharmacist), the group disbanded. The pharmacist returned to work on some prescriptions that had been brought in. Some clerk would have to deliver them and he would be allowed to go home after doing so. At last closing time arrived. Lights went out in the front of the store, curtains were drawn over some of the show cases, and all showcase doors were shut. The pharmacist took account of the day’s business and removed the surplus bills and change from the cash registers. The clerks departed. The boss, not quite satisfied, or else by force of habit, made a last survey of the store, cellar and back room. Then he, too, prepared to depart. The time being somewhere be- tween 11 P. M. and 1 A. M. Locking il e- doors as he went out. he made one more survey from the outside. Everything appeared to be as it should. Evidently satisfied, he started for home. A cop, on his beat, saw him leave the store and noticed that as he started down the street he was whistling “ The End of a Perfect Day.” He may have been whistling that song, but his thoughts dwelt on the following: The lay man works from sun to sun, But the pharmacist’s work is never done. Edwin C. Pendleton, ’24. 120 A Resume of Pharmacy Even if King Tut had returned to life, he would, no doubt, have been familiar with some of the drugs in use to-day. The science of pharmacy as practiced to-day is the result of the gradual accu- mulation of knowledge from the earliest periods of the world’s history. Egyptian inscriptions tell us how physician-priests had sent their prescriptions to be filled by the priests of Isis, and papyrus records that date back almost to the time of King Tut, contain references to the art of prescription writing. Amongst the Ancient Grecian Gods was Aesculapius, a Thessalian, deified as the God of healing. Temples were dedicated to their idol and his disciples were called Aesculapians. In fact, Greek medicine seems to have occupied a superior sphere of its own and was not subordinate to religion as was the case in ancient Eygpt and India. It was due to efforts and teachings of Hippocrates (II. C. 460-377), in the age of Pericles, that medicine and pharmacy were developed. Alexander, by his conquests, further diffused the knowledge of the Greek science. In every period of the world’s history some contribution has been added to the science of pharmacy. When Rome dominated the world, it was due to the Greek influence that medicine and pharmacy were developed. Dioscorides wrote a book on materia medica in A. E). 77-78, enumerating some 400 plants and drugs. This work still remains the most important contribu- tion on remedies employed in ancient times. A hundred years later, Galen, a physician at Rome, added some 200 hundred more plants. The names just men- tioned are outstanding lights in the development of medicine and pharmacy, they are commemorated in Dioscorea villosa, wild yam, the root of which is used in dropsv, while Galen’s name is responsible for the word Galenical, which designates the pharmaceutical preparations of the natural vegetable drugs. The knowledge acquired by the Romans from the Greeks, and augmented by the work of the philosophers who flourished when Rome was at the height of glorv, asserted its influence over the Eastern conquerors. As it became absorbed and appreciated, and when peaceful conditions began to prevail, schools of phar- macy and medicine were established at Damascus and Bagdad, the chief seats of Moslem power. 121 It was during this period that we have the first records of the use of remedies used in modern practice. Such drugs as colchicutn for gout, iron for anemia and rhubarb for dysentery were used. Under the Moslems’ influence the first apothe- cary shops were established and the pharmacopoeia, or set of drug standards, were produced. The separation of the practice of pharmacy was recognized in the eighth century and legalized in the eleventh. Frederick II in 1233, by edict, divided the pharmacists into two classes: the stationerii who sold the crude drugs, and (he confectionerii who dispensed the prescriptions of medical men. The Mohammedans were leaders in the field of medicine and pharmacy throughout the middle ages, but during the monastic period of pharmacy was largely under the control of the religious orders, particularly the Benedictines. As the Monks were forbidden to shed blond, the practice of surgery was turned over to the barbers. The familiar barber’s pole, with its spiral decoration, is a survival of those times when they advertised their calling by a device representing the application of bandages. The use of local anaesthetic was unknown in those days, ether and chloroform had not been discovered, and surgery was crude and barbarous. In England, the separation of pharmacy from medicine did not occur as early as it did on the continent. The first apothecary’s shop in London was opened in 1345. With the discovery of America many new drugs were carried to Europe by the explorers and introduced into the materia medica. Cinchona, or Peruvian Bark, was first introduced into Spain in 1640. During the eighteenth and early part of the nineteenth centuries the science of chemistry was greatly developed. To the efforts of such brilliant and incle - fatigible workers as Cavendish, Black, Scheele, Priestly, Lavoisier, Dalton and others that the modern foundation of chemistry is due. There were many important discoveries during this period (1702-1850). Boric acid, ammonia gas, morphine, ether, chloroform, strychnine, quinine, iodine, bromine, cocaine and many other important discoveries were added to the growing list of medicinal agents. The population of the United States was increasing at an enormous rate and with this increase the expansion of industry followed, it was only natural that other means of dispensing pharmacy should occur. The old-fashioned apothecary with his mortar and pestle could not hope to be the sole medium for compounding herbal mixtures and powders and rolling pills for the new civilization. The importance of the chemical industry was becoming apparent, and the making of mineral salts and other organic chemicals was taken up as an individual industry. 122 Drug stores increased in number and by the middle of the century a few manu- facturing pharmacists soon demonstrating that they were permanent factors in the trade. From that time the development of the drug business tended towards the conditions that exist at the present. The drug trade to-day includes several dependent factors, each one of which function as a link in the chain of operations that finally places medicines within the reach of the consumer. The chief distributors include the crude drug dealer, the manufacturer of medicinal chemicals, the manufacturing pharmacist who has a line of several hundred products, the proprietory or patent-medicine manufac- turer, the physicians’ supply house, the wholesale druggist and the retail druggist.

To most people this bald statement of fact will suffice, but to us, having .fcprne the trials and tribulations, it is well to go further. . Reviving the book was no easy task, to compile it was no easy task, and to make it financially successful was no easy task. However, it is done; we are thankful, and it is hoped that you appreciate our efforts. Much credit for the obtaining of advertisements goes to a great number of .members of the Class, but more particularly to E. W. Taylor. The main idea of the book is to keep the school fresh in our memory and to serve as a tie between us, the members of the class, by portraying the interesting events of our college days. To each of you the Year Book Committee wishes a huge measure of success. We appreciate, more than these words indicate, the assistance of the Faculty, the Printer, the Photographer, the Junior Class, and the Advertisers in making 1 his book a success. We trust that the future classes, as well as we ourselves, will remember our advertisers and when doing business with them will mention the Pharmacon. The Yeah Book Committee.
