Vici!—the call of triumph of the great Caesar—may well be adapted to the slogan of the class of ’26—but lest the conquest be misinterpreted as a mere matter of stretching forth the hand to pluck the desired fruit, it must he admitted here that the struggle was a difficult one—a hard uphill, grinding climb, fraught with fears and tnisgiving hopes and determination from the first day that the massive portals of learning swung open in September, until they closed in May. It was exceedingly difficult at the beginning of the year to throw off the. false sense of security, the lack of responsibility from all duty occasioned by our rather extended vacation of the Summer. We had been resting, so to speak, for more than twelve weeks in a state of sweet oblivion from all scholastic cares and worries. Our mental machinery was rusty from disuse; and it was hard to rouse ourselves from this state of mental lethargy—as it were. Rut this did not make us blanch, nor did it make us throw our hands up in despair. On the contrary—it only served as an incentive towards increased activity. Tt inspired us with new vigor, with new strength, with new determination to do, as we had never done before! And just as the mighty waters of Niagara carries everything before it by the tremendous power of its irresistible force, so did we distinguish ourselves in our triumph over this second and seemingly unsur- mountable barrier. It is to the credit of the class as a whole to say that never once, in any of the following examinations of the third and fourth quarterlies did this spirit of fight—fight—fight—forsake them—never once! Tt calls to mind a huge boulder poised on the edge of an abyss—difficult to start in motion—but once possessed of momentum—it is well nigh impossible to stop its course until it had reached its destination. So, after hours and hours of arduous toil, the heights were scaled, the chasm was cleared, the victory was won! Sanctuary! Sanctuary! But our struggles—our toils—were lessened—by the various diversions— amusements—entertainments, sprinkled here and there throughout our curriculum; and most welcome periods of respite they were, to be sure. First came Field Day, bringing to the open, the athletes, and would-be athletes of our College. For a day, all cares were flung to the winds—everybody let loose—so to speak, and a wonderful time was had. !p| Thirty-two i Then followed the class elections, giving us another afternoon of fiery speeches, excitement and political animosities, which were immediately dispelled by the results—regardless of party feeling—as becomes the spirit of true sports- manship. The Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses gave us the most longed for oppor- tunity to sec our loved ones again, for Fate had destined most of us to be Pilgrims away from home to worship at the Shrine of Learning. The Senior Prom on December 11th, and the Junior Prom on February 12th, brought the students of the entire Mlegc together again in a true spirit of friendship and revelry. Beautiful girls—soft music—twinkling lights—both were events never to be forgotten by those attending. Special mention must be made here of the splendid entertainment afforded us by the skillful playing throughout the year of the best basketball team in the history of the Albany College of Pharmacy. Not one of us failed to regret the close of the basketball schedule. And now wc come to the end of our journey—to the parting of ways, when we must leave the sheltering arms of our beloved Alma Mater, to aid the less fortunate with the knowledge we have gained. It was .Shakespeare who said, “ Parting is such sweet sorrow—sweet sorrow.” Only a Shakespeare could express a thought so wonderfully. Two of the happiest years of our lives have been spent here, and it was indeed a sorrow?—our farewell -sweet sorrow— sweet because it spells the realization of our aims and ambitions and fulfillment of the dreams of our loved ones—sorrow—-because wc have learned to love you with all the passion and respect of true gratitude—a love which we will carry away with us to the end of all time—our Alma Mater! Marc P. Gaxbarg, Historian ....................... Barnet A dei-8 on Brooklyn University Prep. School “A quiet mediocrity is preferred before a troubled superfluity ”—and Barnet stands at the head of the class for his religious adher- ence to this principle. Melvin L. Alsever, K'k Ostvego Osivego High School As joyous as the cadence of the sea; true as the college clock’s unvarying hand; and gen- erous as a dream, is this son of Oswego. Monte Arnone Brooklyn Stuyvesant High School Armed with a fiddle—a shiny countenance— and courage—Monte arrived in the City of “Ups and Down” to “do or die.” Between breaking his cranium over carbons, endo- sperms and emulsions, he still finds time to break an “A” string. Needless to say, Monte is “ doing.” Thirty-four iniULiuumuuiiiiKpminniiuiiuiiiuinii Josk Avalos Cicnfuegos, Cuba Blanchard High School, Cuba Jose at the delicate age of three aspired to be President of his Republic. However, at the age of twenty, his aspirations changed when he learned that a President went through more revolutions in a minute than an aero- plane propeller. He accordingly, and jsj$ely, started out for a more permanent vocation, and landed feet first in a Wedgewood mortar. Que bueno es vivir bicn! Wilbur C. Baldwin Ilannacroix Ravena High School Wilbur insists “ Baldwin ” apples were named after him, as he was first born. Adam and Eve, Eden’s vaudeville team, and friend Ser- pent, think different. They contend a “ Baldwin ” green apple started all the trouble. Wilbur, however, still argues that the trouble did not start over a “green” apple, but over a “ green ” pair.

S.; E'irst Vice-President Senior Class, '26; Associate Editor Alembic Pharmakon. An intense reader of the lives of great men, Sam one fine morning woke up to find himself Napoleon. With no Waterloo or Moscow in sight, he captured the “ Math ” prize in his junior year. His weakness, alternating from growing a moustache in the day time, to play- ing Napoleon at night, and sipping Tnfusion of Dandelion between times, Sam amuses him- self by calling himself “ Cheerio.” f Irving Bezner, PII Brooklyn Manual Training High School “ Gee ! fellers, I smacked ’em !” No respect- able citizens, not the aftermath of a fist light —or a necking party—merely his sanguinary treatment of all examinations. Joseph Block Brooklyn Boys High School Ignoring the traditional silver spoon right from the start, Joe first opened his blinkers with a chemistry book in his mouth. When only three days old, he memorized the book, word tor word, but on account of his youth, could not say a word. At the present time he is getting even— and only regrets the insuffi- cient number of text books we have. Lionel J. Boiven, E f Cohoes Cohoes High School; Albany Business Col- lege. Lionel, whose ancestral wickyup is hatched somewhere among the hills of our Empire State, was, when a kid, bent on seeing the world. Accordingly, he came to Albany to straighten out his views. His success at Col- lege has proved beyond a doubt the fufillment of his aspirations. Thirty-seven _.r___ ,-i mmw Vincent J. Bonerbo Bronx Fordham Prep.; Evandcr Childs H. S. Vincent’s idea of a well dressed man is one with a toothpick adorning his front molars. Without it, he is as lost as a mortar without a pestle—and he derives much gratification by munching them. His favorite expression is, “ Wotta guess—wotta guess.” Clifford L. Bosworth, K'k Nichols Nichols High School Cliff, this taciturn, blonde-haired youth, after annexing half of the Junior prizes, decided he would finish his course by staying another year. Unassuming, soft-spoken, compared to him fish are talkative. Hyman Brandoff, Pn J Brooklyn Co-operative Preparatory School “ Szecks,” the self-styled apothecary of Brownsville, which he admits without blush- ing, contains the intellect of the country. Af- fectionately called “ Hy ” by pulchritude, to whom he submits proprietary over his hard- earned downy bloom.

Raymond Brrndes, E I Utica Free Academy Team, ’26 For his size. Ray, the inimitable clown, the human grasshopper, makes a jumping jack look as slow as a plumber going for tools. His everlasting, broad, good-natured stnile is symbolic of his incorrigible sense of humor. Fraternity Bonding Joseph Brenner, PIM New York City De Witt Clinton IT. S.■ City College of N. Y.; New York University “ Yussel ”—scion of the Brenners of Riverside Drive—came to see Albany, but Albany saw him first. He is an active member of the Ways and Means Committee. He has a way with the girls, and that means something. Thirty-nine • PS(S («MRJSOffiad lo 'W93J JS - ■ ■ Irving Bromberg Nezv York City Morris High School “Irv” first broke into prominence with his phonetic ejaculation of “glytzerin.” His crown was almost snatched from his head by a fellow student, but only his usual steadfast- ness and perseverance made him still the proud aim only possessor of that incomparable “ glytzerin ” twang. James E. Byrne Schenectady St. Joseph’s Academy His hair is like a golden harvest moon When all the mists are gone, Or like a stream of golden sands On which the sun has shown. Charles V. Byrnes, K'k Ilion Ilion High School; Glee Club, ’26 Charles is a long story—briefly told. He towers above his puny boy friends, and attrib- utes his unusual elongation to the fact that when a child he made good use of his growing days. Nemo V. Caminiti, I'M' Brooklyn Drury II. S.; Boys’ High School; Fraternity Bowling Team When he was born, his folks were reading the comics, “Nemo in Wonderland,” and so it came to pass, Nemo today is Nemo. He has postponed his trip to Wonderland, however, until his sheepskin is clasped tightly to his breast—and then—we wonder what Nemo’s Wonderland will be. ■ Albert Chesanow Brooklyn Boys’ High School; Columbia University; George Washington University; Literary Editor Alembic Pharmakon. From “cutting- up” in Washington Univer- sity, where he was taking an “ M. D.” course, A1 is still cutting up here at A. C. P. His explanation of his northern trip was that a professor asked him if he could dig him up a nice girl, and with his usual facetiousness he answered the prof—“ wouldn’t you prefer a live one?” So would we, Al. Richard Ciilewinski Schenectady Schenectady High School; Orchestra, ’25 Between wrestling and playing a mean banjo, Dick, the blonde-haired Pole from General Electric City, delights in munching konseals.

The latter only has withstood the ravages of time —for his derby has long been absent from its usual domicile. Morris Cohen Bernard Cohn, 1TI 1 Albany Albany High School A native Albanian, Bernie says he likes Al- bany. The way he takes those hills on high, in his delivery wagon, and the broad smile which covers his face when he reaches the top, are indicative of his rare judgment.

Frederick W. Coon Syracuse Central High School, University of Buffalo As quiet as the lighting of a fly on a feather cluster, Fred has managed, during his confine- ment here, not to commit any crimes, nor to become a party to a scandalous affair—so what can we say but that he is too quiet. Nevertheless, beneath his sobriety his natural reserve and good naturedness stand ever forth. Forty-four i I I i I i i inrini� j� !inij Ralph E.

Morris Danzig New York City Dc Witt Clinton High School A songbird of note—Morris is the only man alive or living to have found ninety-four hairs on a single slide under the microscope. This remarkable discovery, he admits, is due to his own method of focusing the miscroscope and by having his both eyes shut, and his imagina- tion wide open. Ralph DeAngelo Schenectady Schenectady High School Another of those mortals who during his two years of college life has proved nothing except that one can get along without a publicity agent—and get by.

Nicholas Demciiak, EL Binghamton Binghamton Central High School; Outer Guard Epsilon Phi Coming from “God’s country,” as Nick calls his home town, to Albany originally to see the workings, and workers, of the Telephone Company, he made his stay worth while by becoming a Knight of the Pestle and Mortar.

Like Castoria, the girls cry for him—and his heavy eyebrows curl gently, as he murmurs sofUv to himself—“ it's horrible to be handsome.” George C.

To fondle, to nourish, to fertilize, a forlorn hope —to have faith in the impossible—to cherish a false ambition—but alas—the truth will out— and against countless odds—George has went and raised—a moustache—and as the gentle zephyrs blow through it he murmurs to him- self, “ there’s nothing like trying.” Frank D’Glisse, Ed Brooklyn Eastern Evening High School I’m ruined—I’m wrecked!—he shouted as he left the College Building—and slunk into the gathering dusk.

O’Day Luba Perlmutter One Hundred Ten HISTORY Almost one hundred future pharmacists of the world disobeyed a city ordinance of Albany on a warm fall day in September 1925, when they gathered on their campus in Eagle street to await the opening of the college. They had innocently come from the peaceful villages and hamlets of the state, and thrown themselves upon the iniquities and pitfalls of the Empire State capital city. Little did they know at that time what temptations they would have to resist, what dangers beset their paths and what courage they would have to muster if they were later to be classed among the survivors of the fittest, who had come to try to learn the gentle art of pushing pills around the grease-coated counter in the dingy, dark back room of a drug store. The first few weeks of college life were not spent in sleeping beneath the trees of the campus. For lack of trees this had to be done in the class room, and after the young unsuspecting ones had slept through lecture after lecture together, they became sufficiently well acquainted to choose a set of officers, to guide over their destinies and lawlessness for the remainder of the pharma- ceutical year. William F. Coughlin, Jr., was pronounced the most perfect sheik, so the women of the class swung the election to him for president. Vincent J. Carr and John IT. Shipe were made his partners in crime by being elected first and second vice-presidents respectively. Charles B. Heverin pulled an honest look- ing expression which got by to the extent of his receiving the treasurership. A young lady Elizabeth Beck was thought to be the best pen pusher, if not the best pill pusher, and was accordingly made secretary. The class history was a problem so Leonard G. LaBarge was selected to chronicle the historical data of this illustrious group. Winston A. Chesterfield secured the reportorial position to furnish the press with the high spots of our athletic and pharma- ceutical existence. And thus the elections marked by keen political spirit became a thing of the past. Fatherly seniors advised us to hit the first quarterly exams with all our powers, but red ink was used on the student cards to such an extent that the supply of crimson writing fluid ran short in the city for weeks after. We trotted out a goodly number of athletic stars and enjoyed a good repre- sentation on the Varsity basketball team and other sports, including bowling, swimming, and some of the less strenuous activities, such as the glee club. After the holidays the members burned the midnight oil in their new Christ- mas lamps and overworked the pens and pencils Santa had brought to try to hit the second quarterly exams. The red ink was ever present, for most of the report cards still bore the crimson stains. No more pleasant abstinence from peering through microscopes and strug- gling through recitations was experienced when the young hearts beat tunefully and some all too rapidly as their feet tripped merrily over the floors of the Ten Eyck ballroom at the annual Junior Prom. Some preferred to stand in a corner and Charleston while others sought more relaxing amusement in the halls of the hotel, as they walked from one floor to another in search of excitement— or perhaps—. The dance continued lfffe into the early morning hours, when the pharmacists gathered up their pill boxes and girls and waited until the following day to expound on the excellence of the party and the good time each had enjoyed at the year’s most notable social event. What must be done can be done and the class settled down to the third quarterlies, and in them tried to save their reputations and squeeze by without too much red on their cards. Things looked black however, much to our delight. The class had come through on the exams. The sheepskin of next year began to be visualized. The studies had paid, and through the warm days of early spring as the. snow of winter left in, small rivers through the streets, one by one the class members recovered from attacks of the flu and grippe only to become victims of severe cases of spring fever. And so Time rapidly brought the last series of exams. The Juniors looked into the warm spring sky and wondered, wondered if it could possibly be that they had come to their pharmaceutical seniority. Won- dered if they had actually survived the dangers of iniquitous Albany, and still wondering what it was all about, they found their way to the station and thence to their homes, comforting themselves in the thought that they would shortly return and go through the formality of becoming seniors. At last, tire thought struck us, that perhaps some day, we may be pharmacists, after all. Leonard G. LaBarge, Historian Elizabeth K. Beck AK Albany, N. Y. TTarry Abramson Albanv, N. Y.

McClure and Co., wholesale druggists, Albany. He, with the assistance of Dr. W illis G. Tucker and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, and Mr. Charles Gibson of his firm, called a meeting on November 18, 1878 of the pharmacists of the City to consider the advisability of forming a pharmaceutical association with the view to establishing a school of pharmacy, to be conducted by the association. At this meeting a cornntktee was appointed to prepare a plan of organization. Owing to lack of interest no further steps were taken to secure the organization of a school of pharmacy by Albany pharmacists. In the fall of 1880 Dr. Willis G. Tucker, Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, Mr. Archibald McClure, Dr. Jacob S. Mosher and Mr. Joseph W. Russell met and decided that a belter plan of organization than that previously proposed, would be to establish a department of pharmacy in Union University. A plan of organization was drawn up by Dr. Tucker, approved by the others, and presented by them to Dr. E. N. Potter, then president of the Univer- sity. He approved of the project and presented it to the Board of Governors of the University. At the annual meeting of this board held June 21, 1881, the Albany College of Pharmacy was created to constitute the Department of Pharmacy of Union University. A board of trustees was immediately appointed and the school incorporated as The Albany College of Pharmacy in conformity with the laws of the State of New York. August 27, 1881. The first faculty consisted of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher, President of the Faculty and Professor of Botany and Materia Medica; Dr. W illis G. Tucker, Secretary of the Faculty and Professor of Chemistry and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, Pro- fessor of Pharmacy. The first lecture was given on October 8, 1881. The lecture room and laboratories of the medical college were used for purposes of instruction. In 1881 and for several years subsequent to that date four subjects only were taught namely—Botany, Materia Medica, Pharmacy and Chemistry. The course was of twenty-one weeks duration. Juniors attended five hours a week for twenty-one weeks, a total of 105 hours. Seniors attended three hours a week for twenty-one weeks, or a total of 63 hours. In the two year course a total of 168 hours of lecture and laboratory work was given. Owing to the death of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher in August, 1883, Dr. Alfred B. Huested was appointed Professor of Botany and Materia Medica and Dr. One Hundred Twenty-nine Tucker became president and dean of the faculty. No important change oc- curred in the professorships until 1903 when Professor Michaelis resigned the active professorship and Mr. Garret V. Dillenbeck was appointed associate pro- fessor of the department. After this date there were numerous changes in the faculty. Of special interest, however, was the appointment of Edwin C. Hutman in 1903 as Director of the Pharmaceutical Laboratory and his later appointment in 1918 as Professor of the Theory and Practice of Pharmacy, also the appoint- ment of William A. Larkin in 1906 as Instructor in Physics and his appointment in 1920 as Professor of Chemistry. Dr. Willis Gaylord Tucker The name of Dr. Willis G. Tucker will recall to a host of graduates of the Albany College of Pharmacy vivid memories of their student days. The greater part of Dr. Tucker’s life was devoted to the teaching of chemistry, the practice of chemical analysis in jts varied branches, and the advancement of professional education to which he contributed in no small way. He was one of the founders of the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1881; Professor of Chemistry in the same, 1881-1918; Trustee from 1898; Dean of the Faculty, 1883-1918; and Honorary Dean from 1918. Dr. Tucker graduated from the Albany Medical College in 1870 but never practiced the profession, becoming a lecturer on Materia Medica immediately, later an Assistant Professor of that subject and Chemistry, and for many years lie was Professor of Chemistry and Registrar; for a few years he served as Dean. His connection with the Albany Medical College extended over a period of nearly half a century. During various years he was Professor of Chemistry in the Albany Acad- emy, Albany Female Academy, St. Agnes School and the Albany High School. He was Analyst of the New York State Board of Health, 1881-1891 ; Director of its Laboratory, 1891-1901; and Director of the Bureau of Chemistry of the same, 1901-1907. At various periods Dr. Tucker was a member of numerous organizations such as New York Stale Board of Medical Examiners, Board of Governors of Union University, State and County Medical Societies, also several Scientific and Chemical Societies. He received the honorary degrees of Ph.D. from Union College in 1882 and Pli.G. from the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1882. He was the author of numerous papers on chemical subjects such as sanitary chemistry, food and drug adulteration, water analysis and toxicology. Dr. Tucker’s long, useful and brilliant career came to an end April 21, 1922. This was a source of regret and sorrow to a multitude of friends and admirers. The foregoing brief summary shows that Dr. Tucker was a man of cap- ability and worth. Those who knew him well and were associated with him knew him to be a man of wonderful and brilliant intellect, kind judgment, good understanding and probity. These traits of character have always created an admiration which was well deserved. The college is proud to record in its annals the work of Professor Michaelis of the Pharmacy Department; in 1885 he perfected and made possible the com- mercial process for the manufacture of chloroform from chlorinated lime and acetone, the latter having been found to be the richest chloroform-yielding sub- stance. This method has since been much used, but before that time chloroform had been prepared by methods which were so costly as to restrict its use. The method devised by Professor Michaelis brought chloroform for anesthesia within the reach of every hospital, inasmuch as the cost of manufacture was greatly reduced owing to the fact that acetone, obtained as a by-product in the preparation of wood alcohol, had before this time been of little practical value. Growth of the College under its Presidents Mr. Joseph W. Russell was elected president in 1881 and served until 1899. In 1890 the first Pharmacy Laboratory course opened in a loft on Beaver Street opposite the Knickerbocker Press building. Attendance was compulsory on Thursday and Friday from 2 to 5 P. M. for a period of ten weeks. In the Fall of 1893 the College acquired a new pharmacy laboratory in the loft of the Van Huesen Charles building on Broadway. A reading room was provided for day students and a Pharmacognosy Laboratory was in use for the first: time. In 1895 a two hour course in Practical Microscopy was given for the first time by Dr. MacFarlane to the Senior Class during a period of ten weeks. Half hour recitation periods became compulsory at this time. William j. Walker, senior partner in the firm of Walker and Gibson, whole- sale druggists, was elected president of the Board of Trustees in 1899, he served until 1904. He died May 10, 1904. In 1899 the Pharmacy Laboratory was moved to the top floor of the building on the corner of Maiden Lane and North Pearl Street. In 1902 Physics and Pharmaceutical Mathematics were added to the course. In 1903 the Faculty conducted recitations for candidates preparing for the State Board Examinations. Mr. Charles Newman was elected president in 1904 and he served until 1916. In 1904 a State Law was enacted requiring all candidates for State Board examinations to he graduates of a College of Pharmacy. m Ml eHIIIII One Hundred Thirty-one In 1905 the State Law required matriculants in colleges of pharmacy to secure a Pharmacy Student’s Qualifying Certificate based upon the completion of one year of high school or the equivalent of twelve Regent’s counts In 1906 the entrance requirements were increased to fifteen counts. Tn 1907 toxicology was added to the course and in the fdtfowing year physiology and Latin were added. Tn 1909 the Pharmacy Laboratory moved from Maiden Lane to Howard Street. In the following year the Pharmacy Laboratory was moved to its present quarters on Eagle Street. In 1911 a Senior Chemistry Laboratory was established in our present quarters. In 1915 the Junior Qualitative Laboratory was moved from the Medical College to Eagle Street. From that date to the present time all the work has been done in the present quarters. Mr. Charles Gibson was elected president of the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1916. His knowledge of all branches of the drug business and his active interest in educational work eminently fitted him to become president of the board of trustees. Under his leadership, in 1918, Dr. William Mansfield the present dean, was appointed and the college reorganized, the faculty increased, new courses of study provided, the hours of study lengthened and more class rooms and new laboratory equipment added. All these changes were timely and necessary to meet the constant growing need of better educated and better practically trained pharmacists. The wisdom of these changes is shown by the rapidly increasing numbers of students who have taken advantage of the facilities offered at the Albany College of Pharmacy for those desiring a sound pharmaceutical training. The social and recreational phase of college life has not been overlooked. There are now three fraternities and one sorority, a glee club of thirty-five members, an orchestra of twenty pieces, a swimming team of twenty men, a bowling league of fifty and a basketball team of twelve. This team has won the majority of the games played this season, defeating Middlebury College, Vermont; Queens University, Canada; Clarkson Institute of Technology, Pots- dam, New York; Oswego Normal School, Oswego, New York; and Cortland Normal School, Cortland, New York. The Albany College of Pharmacy has to date thirteen hundred and seventy- nine graduates. This number will be rapidly added to because of the large classes now in attendance. There are, at the present time, three hundred and twelve students at the college. When the college occupies its new building in the Fall of 1927 a total of five hundred students can be accommodated. One Hundred Thirty-two Present Education Requirements High School graduation is required for entrance. . Not later than the Fall of 1927 the present two year (Ph.G.) course will be extended to three years with a minimum of 750 hours for each of the three years or a total of 2250 hours. The present three year (Pli.C.) course will be extended to four years. The Albany College of Pharmacy has gradually increased the number of subjects taught and increased the number of required hours of work. During the First Year the following suljjects are required: Pharmacy Theory Pharmacy Laboratory Mathematics Latin Commercial Pharmacy Theory Commercial Pharmacy Laboratory Histology Theory Histology Laboratory Botany Theory During the Second Year the following subjects are required: Botany Laboratory- Physiology Theory Posology Inorganic Chemistry' Theory- Qualitative Chemistry Theory Qualitative Chemistry' Laboratory- Physics Theory Business English Dispensing Pharmacy Theory- Dispensing Pharmacy Laboratory- Manufacturing Pharmacy Theory Manufacturing Pharmacy Laboratory- Commercial Pharmacy and Jurisprudence Theory Commercial Pharmacy Laboratory Materia Medica Theory- Toxicology Theory- Macroscopic Pharmacognosy Theory- Macroscopic Pharmacognosy- Laboratory Microscopic Pharmacognosy Theory- Microscopic Pharmacognosy Laboratory- Analytical Chemistry Theory- Analytical Chemistry Laboratory- Organic Chemistry Theory- Organic and Inorganic Chemistry Lab. Inorganic Chemistry Theory- Business English A passing mark of not less than 70% in each subject is required. The rapidly increasing population of the State of New York has made it necessary lor the pharmacy schools of the State to train increasing numbers of men and women for the profession of pharmacy. Our school has outgrown its present quarters, including the auditorium and rooms in St. Sophia’s Hall. The site for a new college has been secured and a Committee of the Board of Trustees have perfected plans for a new college to he erected within a year on the New Scotland Avenue site. 1 he new college, with its added facilities and up-to-date equipment, will enable the Albany College of Pharmacy to become a center of pharmaceutical education. It is the purpose of the Trustees and Faculty of the Albany College of Phar- macy to maintain an education standard in keeping with the best traditions of the University and the advancements made in the several sciences taught.

Upon completion of his course he entered his father’s pharmacy which was located on the site of the present Edu- cation Building. Later the business was located at Central Avenue above Tark Street. • His pharmacy is now located at Steuben Street and Broadway. In 1900 he was elected Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy a position which he capably filled. During his term of office all the legislation regulating the practice of pharmacy was enacted. One Hundred Thirty-four .1823; (£ The College and the pharmacists of the State owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Bradt for his untiring efforts in behalf of higher educational and ethical standards for pharmacists. Mr.. Bradt held the office of Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy until July 1st, 1925 at which dale he resigned in order to devote more time to his pharmacy and other business interests after completing 25 years as its Secretary. He is a director of the Albany Trust Company, a member of the Rotary Club, Albany Country Club, University Club, Fort Orange Club and Masters Lodge No. 5 F. A. M., State Pharmaceutical Association and American Phar- maceutical Association. Mr. Bradt is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the College. TTe is a member of the building and equipment committees which have direct charge of the work of erecting and equipping the new college. Arthur S. Wardle, a member of the board of trustees, graduated from the college in 1891, and was awarded the Alumni Association prize for the best examination in Pharmaceutical Laboratory work. With his brother, J. Harold Wardle, also a graduate of the college (class of 1896) he is associated in business under the firm name of Wardle Brothers, wholesale and retail pharmacists, located in Hudson, N. Y. Mr. Wardle is director of one of Hudson’s largest banks, president of the board of education of Hudson, past president and member of the .State Board of Pharmacy, member and past presi- dent of the New York State Pharmaceutical Association. He was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the College in 1914, and as a member of the building committee, has taken a very active part in planning the new college building. Edwin F. Hunting of the class of 1882 is one of the very successful gradu- ates who has built up an enviable, ethical retail and wholesale pharmacy which specializes in supplying the varying needs of surgeons and physicians. He is now associated with his son Joseph, of the class of 1914, in their building at Central and Lexington Avenues, in this city. Tn 1918 the college was pleased to honor him with election to the Board of Trustees and appointed him Treas- urer. He is a director of the Central Bank of Albany, and takes an active interest in all civic activities. Herbert E. Walker, one of the honor members and valedictorian of the class of 1891 was elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the College in September, 1922. Since graduation Mr. Walker has been actively engaged in retail pharmacy in Schenectady, N. Y., as senior member of the firm of Walker Brothers, and as an active member of the Chamber of Commerce of Schenectady. SiflpM -—-A- One Hundred Thirty-five 33JM m 111 Mr. Walker has always taken a great interest in the advancement of the Albany College of Pharmacy. William Gibson graduated with high honors from Yale University in 1906, receiving the degree of A.P . In 1909 he graduated from the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy and received the degree of Ph.G. Two years later he studied law at Columbia University. After his graduation from Columbia University he was appointed Professor of Commercial Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical jurisprudence at the Albany College of Pharmacy which position he held un l he entered the army in 1917. During the time he occupied this position he developed the course of Com- nfercial Pharmacy and established it as one of the major subjects taught in College. lie has been business manager of the Rochester branch of Gibson-Snow Co., Inc., and later of the Buffalo branch of that firm. He is now president of the Gibson-Snow Co., Inc., and is located in Albany. tie is a member of the Yale Club, Fort Orange Club, Drug Club of New York and numerous State and National Pharmaceutical Associations. THE NEW BUILDING The site upon which the new building will be erected is on New Scotland Avenue opposite the Albany Hospital beginning at the State Laboratory line and extending east for a distance of 446.88 feet, with a total area of 2.18 acres. The building which will be of fireproof construction, will be 178 feet long and with a front elevation of 42 feet. The two main wings will be 42 feet wide, the two side extensions 35 by 45 feet, and the center wing 115 feet long by 50 feet wide. The building is to be constructed of tapestry brick and limestone. It will be three stories high. The ground floor will be occupied by the pharmacy depart- ment. This floor will have a dispensing pharmacy laboratory, a manufacturing pharmacy laboratory, two recitation rooms, an alumni room, store room, men’s assembly room, girls’ assembly room, two preparation and stock room's, boiler and fan room, janitor’s quarters, three locker rooms, a serving kitchen, showers, a gymnasium and three offices. The main floor will be occupied by the botany and materia medica depart- ment having a photography room, a botany and pharmacognosy laboratory, a histology and microscopic pharmacognosy laboratory, two preparation rooms, and three offices. On this floor will also be located the executive offices, a library, a recitation room, a plant laboratory, an auditorium seating 500, a locker room and a check room. —I The second floor will be occupied by the chemistry department. It will have a qualitative chemistry laboratory, a quantitative chemistry laboratory, a lecture room and two recitation rooms, two preparation rooms, three offices, a locker room, three advanced laboratories, one for the teaching of advanced chem- istry, one for advanced pharmacy and the other for advanced materia medica and technical microscopy. Equipment of Pharmacy Department Laboratories The laboratories of the pharmacy depaWment will consist of a manufacturing laboratory, dispensing laboratory and an advanced pharmacy laboratory. Tire manufacturing and dispensing laboratories arc 40 by 45 feet, accommodating 80 students working at one time. These laboratories will contain 6 15 foot and 2 12 foot modern laboratory tables equipped with gas, electricity and hot and cold running water. The laboratories will also be equipped with modern fume hoods. Each student will be supplied with a Torsion balance and all the latest apparatus and appliances necessary for properly carrying on the work. Each laboratory will also contain an 8 foot demonstration table and sliding blackboards. Each student has an individual locker for the care of his apparatus. In the manufacturing laboratory the student prepares specimens of one . or more of each class of official preparations. In the dispensing laboratory, prescriptions are compounded under conditions closely approximating those in a modern retail pharmacy. The advanced pharmacy laboratory is equipped with special apparatus for the manufacture of the more important organic and inorganic sails and com- pounds, for the training of students for laboratory positions with manufacturing houses. Equipment of Botany and Materia Medica Laboratories In the histology and microscopic pharmacognosy laboratory there will be eighteen tables each table providing a three foot working space and fitted with a compound microscope, a euoscope, and instrument which reflects the section of a leaf or other object upon a screen which can be viewed by the student without bending the head and has the added advantage of not injuring the eyes. The illumination is obtained by an adjustable light which is operated by an individual switch. Along the walls of the laboratory will be wall cases for holding drawing books and microscopic mounts, also cases for holding the plants and specimens studied. In the botany and macroscopic pharmacognosy laboratory there will be eighteen tables providing working space for eighty students working at one time. One Hundred Thirty-seven Ml S3; :i IMiicssi.iimui'.l'itlil In this laboratory the student studies by means of a dissecting microscope some three hundred vegetable and animal drugs which enter the finished prepara- tions used as medicine. Special attention is given to the method of selecting genuine drugs and iden- tifying adulterants. The drugs studied arc kept in bulk in the wall cases. In other cases the plants from which the drugs are obtained are arranged in the order of study. Such a collection will prove of great practical value to students of botany, pharmacists and physicians who wish to acquaint themselves with the plants used in medicines. Equipment of Chemistry Laboratories At the disposal of the chemistry department will be qualitative, quantitative and advanced laboratories, which are to be furnished with the most modem equipment. The tables will be supplied with electricity, gas and water, and large fume hoods will be conveniently situated for working with poisonous and obnox- ious fumes. The quantitative laboratory will be equipped with analytical balances and electric drying ovens. Each laboratory will have ample accommodation for eighty students working at the same time each being supplied with an individual locker containing a complete set of apparatus and having access to all necessary reagents. The demonstration tables will be raised so as to be in full view when methods of procedure are being illustrated. In these laboratories the students will be required to carry out practical work in qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis, inorganic and organic manufacturing chemistry, pharmaceutical testing, and drug assaying. An advanced laboratory will be specially equipped to carry out more com-' plicated analyses and research work in the above mentioned branches of chemistry. Botanical Garden Of special interest to the citizens of Albany will be the development of the college grounds as a park without any expense to the city. Our native trees will be planted along the borders and the shrubs and flowers arranged in artistic groups about the grounds. There will be a medicinal plant section, a poisonous plant section, and a section with all the wild flowers of New York State that it is possible to grow. All the trees, shrubs and flowers will be labeled so that the public may have an opportunity, when visiting the. garden, to become acquainted with the rare beauty of the plants yielding medicines and study the plants that should not be touched, or eaten. Every assistance will be given anyone desirous of developing a wild flower garden. Fostering the maxims of an ingenuous and virtuous policy may tend to strengthen the fraternity of the human race.

Harvey Smith. Tt was established on the basis of an older academic society in which Mr. Smith’s father held membership. The organization was formed as a literary society and soon expanded into the insti- tutions of Russell Military Academy, Cheshire Military Academy, Hillhouse High School, and Yale College. Many of the members of these chapters entered medical schools and in 1887, the academic chapters were discontinued and Kappa Psi reorganized as a strictly professional fraternity. “Alpha Chapter,” which is the governing body was placed first on the new chapter roll. The governing body, which is also known as the Grand Council, has met annually from 1886 to 1908 and every two years since that time. Up to the year 1917, two medical fraternities merged with Kappa Psi. Delta Omicron Alpha Medical Fraternity, which was founded in the College of Medi- cine of Tulane University in New Orleans in 1907, joined with Kappa Psi in 1917. Shortly after, Phi Delta Medical Fraternity, founded at the Long Island Hospital Medical College was also merged with the fraternity. At the last “ National Convention ” it was decided that the medical chapters1 and the pharmaceutical chapters divide so that the present Kappa Psi Fraternity is strictly a pharmaceutical fraternity. Since that time the name of the fraternity has been lengthened to Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. Beta Delta Chapter originated in the year 1910 after a group of young men attending this college saw the possibilities of an organization promoting good fellowship and scholarship. After due consideration the Grand Council of Kappa Psi Fraternity was petitioned for a charter which was in due time granted and Beta Delta Chapter began to function. Since that time Beta Delta Chapter has been decidedly active in collegiate affairs. We arc proud of the work accomplished by our predecessors who have gone out into the pharmaceutical world with the spirit of good fellowship instilled in their hearts. Success has greeted them in all parts of the world. In our book of “ Memoirs ” we read of the good times we have enjoyed since we became members and brothers. Shortly after our arrival as Juniors, on October 7, 1924, we were given an insight of the spirit of fraternalisifi at a smoker given by brothers of ’25. On March 24, 1925, new officers were installed and since then we have had the task of striving to better the work done by our predecessors.

On May 13, 1925, the Fifteenth Annual Banquet was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel. Dean William Mansfield presided as toastmaster. We had the good fortune to have as our guest Dr. Diekman of Gamma Chapter at Columbia, who was one of the speakers'of the evening. Among the other speakers were Prof. William A. Larkin and Prof. O’Brien. The first meeting of the senior year was held September 21, 1925. On September 28, 1925, a smoker ws given to our friends. This was a get- together meeting for the purpose of giving the Juniors and Seniors a chance to become better acquainted. Short talks were given by the faculty, Kappa Psi brothers and some of the Juniors. On February 12, 1926, a formal dance was held in the Ten Eyck ballroom for members and friends. It was with regret that all those present left after the last dance was over. Plans are being made for our Sixteenth Annual Banquet to be held at the Ten Eyck Hotel on May 13, 1926. We feel that we, as brothers in Kappa Psi, class of ’26, have carried on the good work that ’25 set for us. We feel assured, judging from the calibre of the officers-elect for the year 1926-1927 that they will carry on the work for Kappa Psi. George C.

Thus it was that a group of students at the Massachusetts College of Phar- macy decided that in order to maintain a more sincere friendship and brotherly love for each other, and in order to add to the recognized organizations of the College, they established the Rho Pi Phi Fraternity. Soon they realized, that others would he interested in this movement, and accordingly steps were taken to nationalize the Fraternity, with the result that today chapters have been installed in practical every part of the United States. The Beta Chapter of the Rho Pi Phi Fraternity, was started shortly after- wards at the Albany College of Pharmacy with marked success. Since then the fraternal spirit that has been imbedded with its inception, has been paramount, and it was that fraternal spirit that brought back to many of the affairs and social events of the Fraternity, a large number of the Alumni members. The class of ’26 started with a bang! Smokers and pledgee’s dances—an atmosphere replete with good fellowship, soon started the ball rolling. In March followed the elections and installation of new officers, who were entrusted with the reins of the Fraternity for the ensuing year. The Annual Banquet was held during the week of commencement at the Hotel Ten Eyck. Prof. Hutman presided as toastmaster. Many speeches were made—humorous, serious, and between the soup and nuts, strains of music helped to make it an enjoyable evening. The Senior year started slowly, but gained momentum as the days sped by. The usual smoker was held, and served to more deeply instill into its members the spirit of fraternalism. On January 18th, the Pledgee’s dance was held at the Aurania Club, and was without a doubt, a great success. On March 20th, the Annual formal affair was held at the Hotel Hampton, and proved a fitting event for the successful close of our social season. The year draws to a close; the Annual Banquet will be held during com- mencement week—where farewells will be made—the parting of the ways—but our Fraternalism will out.

With these principles to guide them they founded Epsilon Phi fraternity. Under the leadership of George Niles Hoffman, now a leading contributor to pharmaceutical journals, and Ralph Young, whose scholarship and personality caused him to be chosen Valedictorian of his class, the fraternity was well organ- ized and flourished. Soon, however, it was confronted with an obstacle over which it had no control. The entrance of United States into the World War saw so many fraternity men answer the call, that its activities had to be suspended until the year 1922. In this year reorganization began and under the leadership of Frank A. Squires, now a member of the faculty, the fraternity was so thoroughly rejuven- ated that when he retired from its presidency, the fraternity affairs had assumed large proportions. Upon his retirement, the presidency was given to Peter Danzilo, who, fol- lowing in the footsteps of his predecessor, ably steered the affairs of the fraternity in the right path. Many of his ideas combined with his ability to carry them out, greatly strengthened the organization. Not only was Brother Danzilo’s work in the fraternity appreciated but his ability to lay facts before the class in class meetings also won for him (be respect of the entire student body. Next to occupy the office of president was Harold J. Lynn. Brother Lynn proved himself a worthy president and directed the fraternity safely through all its problems. lie was succeeded by Kenneth Hunter who also conducted the fraternity affairs through a very successful year. Social events held during the year are looked forward to with high expecta- tion and are enjoyed by members and friends to their utmost. These began in our junior year with a “ Smoker” held in the college build- ing. It was attended by faculty, members and friends and was pronounced a great success. Following (be smoker came the Installation. Professor Larkin presided and invested the new officers, headed by Jay Enich as president, with their respec- tive duties. One Hundred Fifty-six • I I • I The next big event was the annual prom held in the tea room of the Ten Eyck Hotel, which, being the biggest of the fraternity’s dances, was greatly enjoyed by a large number of alumni as well as active members. The last and greatest event of the year was the Fourth Annual Banquet held in the New Kenmore Hotel on May 14, in honor of Faculty, Board of Trustees and graduates. Professor Larkin presided as toastmaster. Among those who spoke were Arthur G. Wardle, Professor F. A. Squires, Peter J. Danzilo and Jay D. Enich. ' On Commencement Day, the annual Grand Chapter Meeting was held. Several new plans for execution during the ensuing year were adopted. This meeting concluded official activities for the year. In September, after returning from vacation, we resumed our activities. The first event was the “ Smoker ” the success of which even exceeded our expectations. Old friendships were renewed and new friendships made. The social affairs had “ taken off ” with a flying start which predicted the success of the events to follow. The work of “nationalizing” the fraternity has begun and we are confident that it will meet with success. The social events and most particularly the annual Banquet are the means of bringing together our active members and alumni and serve as a means of strengthening the bonds of brotherhood to that point at which they can never be severed by time, distance or future happenings. It is this strength of brother- hood that makes a fraternity worthy of its name. Kenneth H.

The aim of its organiza- tion was a society that might provide social activities and promote fellowship among the girl students of the profession. Not until 1918 were efforts taken to nationalize the sorority. The nationaliza- tion process secured a firm foothold in Beta at A. C. P. and since then, nine more chapters have been granted charters, forming eleven chapters in ail. It was in 1919 that a small and enthusiastic group of young women at A. C. P. felt the urgent need of an organization that might aid and perpetuate the feeling of friendship and co-operation already manifest. The Beta Chapter of the Lambda Kappa Sigma was the result. While the membership of Beta has been limited due to the small number of girl students, the chapter has always attained its ideal and every year sees fit on a firmer and loftier pedestal. Our present history starts with March 1925, when elections were held, and the officers headed by Roslyn W. Hertz were elected. September, 1925, opened the doors of the College again, and our small group of girls returned to resume the activity of the Sorority with renewed vigor. The first affair of the season was a Rush party given to the Junior girls, and all of those present, spent a most glorious evening, which was replete with laughter and enjoyment, and concluded by refreshments and dancing. On December 3rd. the first dance of the year was held at St. Sophia’s Hall. Many students, and Alumni of the College were amongst those present, and it is needless to say that it was a memorable night. The monotony of the period following the Christmas vacation was broken by the subscription dance held on St. Patrick’s Day, at the Colony Plaza, where in a sea of blue and gold, many danced to the tunes of a splendid orchestra, drowning all cares and worries. The Social season was concluded by the sixth Annual Banquet, when part- ings between the Senior and Junior members took place. One Hundred Sixty iOWBUSC b ''j u: I And to the younger Junior members of our beloved Sorority, its welfare is entrusted—to reverence and cherish it as we have done, and may their efforts in the future, be crowned with even greater success than has attended us in the past. “ To you we throw the torch, Be yours to hold it high.” ' Helen Pupko, Historian COLLEGIATE CHAPTERS .

Pleasurable indeed will these pages become when we are far removed and time obscures our memories. It has been customary to refer tcjvthe noil-fraternity members of the class as the Neutrals. The incorrectness of the appellation is readily evi- denced by the most cursory examination of our school activities. Whether the heading be scholastic, athletic or social, their presence is felt. Scholastically, many non-fraternity men made inroads in the honor field early in the Junior year. Their capabilities and continued application throughout the Junior and Senior years gained for them the respect and unmitigated admiration of all. Should the Class of ’26 make the claim of being the best that ever graduated from our revered Alma Mater—and who would deny its right to do so?—it would be in a large measure due to the efforts of these men that the claim could be substantiated. Their success invited emulation, and this, coupled with their constant and eager desire to be of assistance to their classmates, furthered the general excellency of the class as a whole The academic eminence of A. C. P. cannot but be enhanced by men like these. Success will be their inevitable reward. The knowledge that they fostered them in their formative stage, that they helped them whenever possible will be the reward of the faculty, and lastly the fact that they were our friends and classmates will be our reward. In sports non-fraternity men were particularly conspicuous. In bas- ketball. bowling, and swimming, they made valuable and capable team- mates and formidable opponents. A non-fraternity man led the field in the indoor Junior competitive athletic events at the weekly “ gym ” classes and another was second high. On Field Day their nerve and dash won them new laurels. They set the pace and their ability and energy placed them in the. fore in a large number of the events. Socially they were the incarnation of the figurative social lions. They came forth in large numbers, at the formal dances and the basketball games and dances—as dandy a lot of Beau Brummels as one would care to gaze upon. One Hundred Sixty-two School spirit they possessed in superabundance. Their encouraging cheers in times of defeat and their appreciative applause in times of victory were no mean factors in the successes of our basketball team, on the home court. T hose whom nature had endowed with melodious voices found their places in the college Glee Club, adding considerably to the worth of that deserving ensemble. Others, who had the ability to express their musical tendencies through the medium of an instrument, were eagerly welcomed in the College Orches- tra, which was headed in the Senior year by a non-fraternity man. Of the class officers, three in the Junior year and three in the Senior year were non-fraternity, of these, several were elected unanimously— testifying amply to the confidence reposed in them. All filled their posi- tions creditably, giving their best. Non-fraternity men served upon the numerous committees appointed front time to time, to carry out the various student problems of the school year, and were instrumental in the success of these enterprises. The non-fraternity men of the class of ’26 were capable of higher things. A great good-fellowship seemed actually to unite them in bonds as strong and true as those offered by organized fraternalism. An atmos- phere of good-cheer, good-will, and brotherly love enveloped them at all times, smoothing the rough spots encountered in their journey together, which is now at an end. Friendship blossomed. May it bloom forever. Leox F.

Composed of a General Committee, a Senior Executive Committee, and a Junior Executive Committee, this government in the capacity of a legislative body, guided the destinies of the Junior and Senior classes, and exercised dis- cretion in all matters relative to student welfare. In this connection, several meetings were held during the year, ably presided over by Dr. E. A. Vander Veer, its Chairman. The General Committee, composed of the faculty, the fraternity heads, class presidents, Year Book editor, business manager, and athletic managers, con- trolled all affairs and matters of general importance and significance to the student. The Junior and Senior Executive Committees, consisting of the class presi- dents, a member of the faculty, and several members of each class respectively, chosen by the class president, were in due course authorized to carry out the decisions of the General Committee.

Music is the crea- tion of Man. Richard Green During the past year, the College Orchestra, led by Richard Green, achieved the zenith of its glory, by their consistent rendering of melodious and harmonious selections. With a large class to select from, Mr. Green, started the process of elimina- tion early in the year, and before a few weeks, had garnered together, an orchestra, easily on par with any of the professional orchestras in the environs of Albany. Working together with the Glee Club, the orchestra made several local appearances, and on other occasions, broadcasted its syncopated tunes to the entire world, via the WGY broadcasting station at Schenectady, and the WHAZ broadcasting station at Troy. These instantly met with success, and established for (he College Orchestra, an enviable reputation. In addition, these lads of syncopation, lent color to the dancing following the basketball games.

Originally organized in 1924 through the efforts of Dr. Mansfield and Prof. O’Brien, the Glee Club, quickly gathered force, and in two years, has risen to be one of the outstanding organizations of the college. In conjunction with the orchestra, the Glee Club presented several concerts for the local Albanians, and in addition, broadcasted several concerts via station WGY, Schenectady, and station WHAZ, Troy. Each appearance was greatly successful, and added to the splendid reputa- tion the Glee Club had built up for itself. M embers Professor Hugh Male, Director Harrison C.

Tbe action of the supervisors was in response to a request by Senator William T. Byrne and Charles Gibson. The land is near the Albany Hospital. The college plans to construct a building that will cost about $300,000 and will accom- modate 500 students. Ground will be bro- ken for the building within two weeks, it was stated at the meeting of the board last night. The present college quarters in the Hu- mane Society’s Building in Eagle street are much cramped and last September, when the college opened, it was necessary to limit the number of students because not all who applied could be accommodated. The new college building will be an addi- tion to the group of stately structures in New Scotland avenue, those of the Albany hospital and the proposed St. Peter’s hos- pital. The culmination—the realization—of five years of untiring effort—arduous endeavors—on the part of Dr. William Mansfield-—aided and abetted by the Board of Trustees—a new college building. Never before in the history of the college, has such a victory been won for the development and advancement of its principles; and it brought endless rejoic- ing to our Dean—whose dreams came true; to our trustees, whose constant patron- age made it possible; to the faculty—the students—who know that the new structure will justly be a monument to the standards-—the principles of our Alma Mater. The passing of the old building—to those who knew it so well—its lecture halls—its laboratories—its corridors—smoking room—staircases—merely another panorama in the cycle of life—yet a tug at our heartstrings—for their memories —instilled through years of contact—shall linger ever. One Hundred Etghty-tzvo ■ . i 1 -4 But with the echo of the modern cry “ off with the old, and on with the new,” still ringing in our ears—with the vision of the old building still lingering in our memories—we turn gladly ’round—to the new building— with its new laboratories—new lecture halls—new corridors—and we feel happy that those students who find haven in its walls—will find by the knowledge of its teachings immunity from the vicissitudes of life. They will live in a new environment—sur- rounded by principles—tried and true; by standards and traditions, which have placed the Albany College of Pharmacy in its enviable position among the Pharmacy colleges. CCLUW THE OLD And we extend, on behalf of the Student body—sincerest congratulations- to Dr. Mansfield—to the Board of Trustees—for making it possible. One Hundred Eighty-three MARKS Wondered at his Ambition for a Perfect mark. And still another Day after some More exams l met these two The first student Had flunked a Couple of exams— His memory slipped Just a little The second student Slipped up on two Questions but Was still away Ahead of the game. And the first student Who studied just enough For a passing mark Saw red— Red ink. And he felt blue; And he wondered why, But we didn’t. We knew why. We knew the Difference between Studying for a Passing mark, And studying for A perfect mark. The first fellow Flunked and wondered Why. But the second passed And knew why. That was the Difference. The other day After the exams I met a student And I asked him How he made out. “Oh, I guess I Passed,” he replied Gleefully. And I walked on Wondering At the nonchalance With which he said Wondering What damage a little Slip of memory Might have done During the exams. And a little later 1 met another Student And I also asked him How he made out. “ Pretty good, I hit ’em high, but, gee, I missed up on One question.” And he passed On with a worried Look upon his face And his brow was Wrinkled. And I wondered again Wondered at this Student who With high marks Looked worried Because he slipped Up on one question. One Hundred Eighty-four REVERIES The shades of night were falling fast, as I dropped off the train at Union Station. I was cordially greeted by a colored gentleman, who unsolicited, proffered his aid, took my baggage, and escorted me without. This greeting was indeed overwhelming. He had his naffie written on his cap, A. Porter, I think it was. After depositing my grips on the side- walk, he left me, and another gentleman approached, and whispered “ taxi ” in my ear. I said yes, of course, and before I could say “ Jack Robinson ” I was whisked downtown, and I soon found myself in front of a large, imposing structure. I entered its massive entrance, and asked the attendant at the door for the Dean. He evidently misunderstood, for he asked me who wrote it. I soon discovered that the taxi driver, the rascal, had left me off at the Education Building by mistake. 1 undoubtedly exhibited all the earmarks of a student of learning. The next day, I found the college, and before T knew it I was engulfed in a sea of knowledge—but the sailing was not rough—at least as much as 1 expected. I soon made friends, many of them—the work was easy—T had a very nice lodging house—reasonable—good board. Needless to say, the days, the weeks, the months slipped by quickly for me; and I absorbed my work; and the examinations drained me dry—a merry cycle— recitation—study—exams—1 wish I could have had more. And so passed the first year—the second year came to a close—my hopes ran high—my heart was filled with exultation—graduation day drew nigh—the dawn of a new day. I saw success beckoning to me from the horizon, sending its radiant glow towards me—filling me with the warmth of fulfillment. Graduation day—I passed down the aisle—slowly—in cap and gown—smil- ing faces to the right of me, and to the left of me—and I went on—on—. The aisle seemed unusually long—so I started to walk fast-—1 ran—I stumbled—I could not falter—with my goal in sight—things became dim—the gleaming faces turned to shadows—the shadows to dire nothingness—I couldn’t turn back now— I must get there—1 must get there. And—“Yo is all theah, suh, Albany, Albany, this station stop is Albany,” rang in my ears. I hurriedly grabbed my grips, and dropped from that train, just as it passed into the night, for it had merely stopped to deposit another human cargo—of students. And I went in search of a room—to settle down for a two years’ sojourn, which I had so easily bridged in a two hours’ nap. -y.'

A soda jerker, he! And have you observed the actions of another drug-store clerk? How he filled your order for the same “black and white”—how he went through the operation—naturally—nonchalantly—without any outward effort—and in due time—placed that same sparkling, bubbling conglomeration of soda suds before you—and how he turned to the back bar mirror—to straighten out a natty tie— to flatten a truant hair, that refused to submit to the charms! of “ Stacomb ”—and turned around similingly to you—ready for more. A soda dispenser, he! And all through life—through the ages—in the highways and byways—we find these two classes. The first, who in their efforts to attain the proverbial “ speed ”—do so only in a series of jerks—spasms—and although successful in attaining “speed”—are unsuccessful in overcoming their methods of attainment. The second—attains his “ speed ”—naturally—unassuming—unforced—and not only is successful, but in addition gains the confidence of the public. The first has paid the price of “ speed ”—the second has earned it. Place yourself with the dispensers—not the jerkers. The ways of a trans- gressor are hard, but those of a jerker, are still harder! One Hundred Eighty-eight aiiiiiiiiaiBiiiiiiiiiiii RIP VAN WINKLE (Then and Now) Whoever has made a voyage up the Hudson must remember the Kaatskill Mountains. They are a dis- membered branch of the great Appalachian family.— Irving. Many of us are acquainted with Washington Irving’s quaint and picturesque character, Rip Van Winkle, who, some years ago, created such a furore, by doing a marathon in the arms of Morpheus, somewhere in the Catskill Moun- tains. When he awoke, twenty years later, his dress was uncouth; his beard long and grizzled; his gun, rusty and wormeaten; his memory shady—for Civil- ization paused only a moment, engrossed in her pursuit of Progress. And, we can’t blame Rip—in fact we sympathize with him; he never had a Big Ben nor a publicity agent. Many pharmacists today—although surrounded by Big Bens and publicity agents, are unconsciously the reincarnation of Rip Van Winkle. Clothed in ancient frayed coats—bespeckled with square rimmed glasses with colored globes, backed by dim gas lights in their windows —splintery wooden floors—old-fash- ioned fixtures inadequate displaying their wares, they are unaware of the demands and the exactness of the modern spirit being steeped only in their own old-fash- ioned business principles—reeking of antiquated ideals. And Civilization frowns, and passes on, arm in arm with her fastidious friend, Progress. Around the corner—Mr. Modern Druggist holds forth, a well lit store— appealing and attractive window displays—elaborate display of merchandise— sanitary wdiite coats bedecking his clerks—clean polished floors—all breathing welcome—sanitation—all symbolic of modern needs. Civilization and Progress pause and smile—for this is their haven. And the poor Rips—slumber. And the Big Bens ring. And Civilization—and Progress —and Mr. Modern Druggist—drink a toast to Rip; but are interrupted by the stream of customers who all come-around the corner. Moral—When in Rome, don’t be a Greek. I One Hundred Eighty-nine .I'yir.ji .'ii i,i ..'ir'...IailUiiiaLliaiP'j When we face about years from now, and look back at our college days, what will stand out most prominently amongst the host of recollections, once so vivid, but now confused in the gathering umbrage of time? With the days flown—with the veneer of shallow sentiment completely washed away—when remoteness makes true judgment possible—what is it that mounts high on the wings of memory, and beckons back to us from out of the mists of the past? Friendship! Friendships of various natures! Friendship of our room-mates, who shared and shared alike our struggles for our portion of elusive knowledge—the friend- ship of our faculty, who through their teachings, lessened those struggles—the friendship of our Dean, who was our guiding spirit in our endeavors; all, friend- ships, that have instilled in us, and kept alive, through the passing years, fond recollections of two years spent earnestly in the preservation of our future. And we have made other friendships, than those of persons. There is the College Building; the Education Building, within whose walls we have found a refuge, a sanctuary—Washington Park, with its lake, its walks—which placed us in close propinquity with nature’s own—the Capitol, where we have oft witnessed the Empire State’s destiny ground out. These have all left in us the everlasting gratification, the infinite satisfaction, which even the ravages of time and tide could not efface. They have made our present day existence less burdensome. They are the things that will endure when others have faded. They are the things that we will keep eternally sacred from corruption—our Friendships. Tlpfl ■1 m One Hundred Ninety Mill ♦ KEEP SMILING Oh, my dear friend, do you not smile today? Come, drink you deeply from, the font of mirth And let its sparkling waters take away Your troubles, to far regions of the earth. Kind friend, your soul to me depicts despair, Perhaps ’tis of the sorrows hidden there, That springs such melancholy and such wail, But listen friend, pay heed to this, my tale: It happened oh ever so long ago (I speak now not of times that ceaseless flow) But speak T now of ages of experience Which bring us sorrows and sharpen our sense. I had a friend, as true as friend could be, Glad was this world, I had prosperity. And 1 myself helped him to taste success, Forfeiting mine, that fortune might him bless. But as of old and ever it shall be Unto the world’s last ceremony, When men achieve success they turn with glee, Heaping up scorn where thankfulness should be. And no exception in the case I stated: My friend turned on me fury unabated. And if his friendship should have stayed his hand. It served for naught but as a venom gland. And so I grew more pensive, perhaps cynical, Until life’s agonies to me seemed trivial. Said I, “ Why melancholic all the while When from my youthful lips can fall a smile? One Hundred Ninety-two 7 ’%ggp r i 1795. J873; ’Twas in a tale that once was told to me (Long will it linger in my memory). Wherein the hero cries, words of a seer! “That’s all there is to life, a smile a tear.” How true, damnably true, I sit and ponder. As vague thoughts tear my drab old brain asunder— A smile, offspring of a contented soul— A tear, which smiles often can condole. K' So my dear friend, do you not smile today? Come drink you deeply from the font of mirth, And let its sparkling waters take away Your troubles, to far regions of the earth. P. I.. Oliva, ’26 A DREAM Long years ago there came a dream to me; And in this dream, it seem’d that 1 did see A maid, whose eyes flashed rays of astral light, Transforming all to day, that had been night. The beauty I beheld in her sweet face, Was dainty, like some rare hand-fashioned lace. The sun itself, had sacrificed a share, Of his bright golden rays, to tint her hair, No master’s pen whatever he might write, Could half describe the dream I saw that night. Long years have gone, the dream ne’er came again, Long years I hoped and prayed, to pray in vain. James Del Negro, ’26 Karl Klaus, ’26 One Hundred Ninety-three -- GOOD WILL K As a Pharmacist, you should do all in your power to reconcile your clientele with the idea that you are nqt a trader, selling a commodity to the public, but a man at the head of a profession whose duty it is to help your customers, by your advice and by your medicines, this right being logically yours by virtue of the special training you received before you earned your degree. Endeavor to instill in the minds of those who make your existence possible by their patronage, a feeling of friendship and confidence. Show a personal interest in their welfare. They will not resent it—they will welcome it, in fact feel flattered at the thought that their pharmacist is on such friendly terms with them. People often come to you to be advised upon subjects which would not be confided to any other individual in the world, with one exception, the physician, and no man will confide in another, unless he has faith in him. So do not fail to do all you can to merit such confidence. Be courteous at all times, for there is no excuse at all for brazenness. Be tactful and avoid all arguments thereby, for the man of tact is a diplomat who knows not only how to say the right thing but when to say it. It is just as embarrassing to say the right thing at the wrong time, as to say the wrong thing at any time. Be pleasant—a cheerful voice and a wholesome smile cost nothing and go a long way towards creating good will and friendship. Men of science say that to frown, two hundred and twelve facial muscles must be brought into play— to smile but ten—why waste energy!!! There is nothing in the world that can contribute more to success of a business venture than these seemingly little things. Material advertising will serve to introduce the customers to you, but courtesy, tact, and friendly interest shall serve to make you better acquainted. The one will bring your patron to your door, the first time; the other shall serve as incentive for his repeated visits. Success follows close on the heels of confidence, for the customer who believes in his pharmacist, will believe in that pharmacist’s ability. M.

Marc Pete Ganbarg, TIME What may be done at ANY time will be done at NO time. The road of by and by leads to the town of NEVER. It will not always be Springtime and time to plant the seeds of future growth. To be always intending to insure your property and never doing it leaves you endangering all you have. It is a strange delirium to trifle with time. An hour saved today is equal to an hour and a quarter tomorrow—a pawn-broker’s interest—. Why pay it? It’s the biggest and most expensive leak in any busi- ness. If you have an organization of say forty people and each wasted only an hour a week, that would be equal to at least one full week’s salary for person. Strike your own average and see what it costs YOU. The value of time is almost beyond computing. Ask any boxer who has hit the floor and stayed down for ten seconds. HE KNOWS.

They shall say that they like their courses, that their spirits thrive on exams, They shall tell us they work for the working, with never a thought of the work. Rut we who were not so lucky, who fell in the van of the fight, Shall hope in our breathless anguish, through the long still watches of night; Till the fatal news shall reach us, shall fill us with sorrow and pain, And the. ever relentless cycle of life, shall set us to work again. —Anon.

(From the diary of a Med Student) All day long at his poor Chink, Cutting and carving—link by link; Unraveling nature’s mystery, Learning how difficult her patterns can be. At night a weary medical “ stude ” Lay on his bed and tossed, Until sleep came and brought with it The ghosts of the “ stiffs ” he lost. It seemed that he was shut up tight In the midst of all the dead Which “Freshman Meds ” had cut and sawed From the feet up to the head. And as he stared about him ’round, The fear upon him grew, For Heavens above! the dead all rose And towards him slowly drew. Some lacked arms, and some lacked heads; From some the skin was stripped; Some showed open cavities From which the hearts were ripped. They were indeed a gruesome lot As weird as weird can be From front and back and right and left, They enclosed him completely. There he stood—all pale and blue No place to fly and hide; TTis feet were rooted to the ground— By fear completely tied. j' . v‘T. 1 With ghastly, staring caverns for eyes, Each corpse drew to him nearer; Forming a circle ’bout him ’round, Each skull a horrid jeerer. And as he eyed them in his plight, One corpse he recognized— His own dissected specimen— The ghost of him who died. A laundry-man in life he was; In death a judge divine, For there he spoke in accents loud. Passing judgment on his crime. “ This man is guilty, fellow sprites, Of our many cuts and tears; Of our sorry state of ugliness,, Of our woes, and of our cares. I will pronounce his sentence now— By Hell’s fires he’ll be burned By scalpels torn, yea! limb from limb, A punishment well earned! ” With these words, the “ Stude ” was seized, And carried to the spot— Where ghastly executioners Prepared “ to make it hot,” In vain he begged and screamed and yelled, In vain, he called for aid— Revenge was their desire—no less! No heed his cries were paid. And just as one long lanky shade Had grasped him by the head, The student struggled lustily And tumbled out of bed.

Lionel Oliva, ’26 Two Hundred Two 0% THE REGENERATION OF AMERICAN PHARMACY A movement is in progress and well nigh completed, throughout the United States, for the establishment of a National All Pharmacy Building, similar in purpose to the Academy of Medicine. It provides for a large modern building which will contain a complete pharmaceutical library; a research laboratory; a staff of pharmaceutical technicians; an executive secretary to solve the business problems of Pharmacists; a legal expert to assist in legislative matters; an employment bureau; meeting rooms for the various local associations; lecture and recreation rooms. The primary object of this project is to combine the various divisions of the profession of Pharmacy, so that the profession as a whole will be able to present a united front in all matters which may arise pertaining to it, and to familiarize the general public of the importance of the profession to this country, through the media of a publicity department. Very little has been accomplished in the past towards solving the questions of drug-peddling; drug store ownership; narcotic laws and prohibition legisla- tion. Consider the numerous petty license fees, unjust taxes, unfair rules and regulations imposed upon the pharmacist! And why? Merely because the dif- ferent divisions of Pharmacy, including manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers —in the solving of their problems, have worked as individual groups, frequently even opposing each other, instead of acting together as a unit. The result was lack of uniformity in legislation, much to the detriment of American Pharmacy as a whole! Such differences of opinion should in reality be settled by the phar- macists as a single group, and then after arriving at a satisfactory decision amongst themselves, as to what is necessary in the way of Pharmaceutical legis- lation, to lay such measures before local, state, or national legislatures and to request the enactment of them. It is now necessary to educate the laity to the realization that Pharmacy is not merely a business carried on for pecuniary gain, but that it is a profession; working together with medicine, having in mind the care and general health of the public; that the pharmacist is not merely a merchant selling to the public, an article in demand, but that he is a member of an honorable profession, pos- sessing knowledge about which the average individual knows nothing, and consequently must turn to his druggist for his needs, even as a patient turns to a physician for the diagnosis of his illness. To unite the various groups of the drug industry; to create a membership of scientific pharmacists; to emphasize professional pharmacy, and to elevate the ethical and educational standards of the profession, such is, in hrief, the object of the Academy of Pharmacy.

Wm. Rosenblum Two Hundred Four ntuuwaiimmn unnanE T TccHTreTTor-ir All nations have their games. g s vs� • jr i —— A. A. McLaughlin Coach Two Hundred Seven With only McCarty, Rcimann and Del Negro left from last year’s squad, and little indication of the quality of new material in the Junior class, the out- look at the beginning of the school year was rather dubious. Thus this situa- tion confronted our coach, at the beginning of the interclass games. The Junior team was naturally intent only upon beating their upper class- mates. For the Seniors, however, superseding the hope of giving the Juniors a trimming, was their hope that some prodigies would be found amongst their freshmen opponents. The results of their two meetings are known to all of us—the Juniors merely romped away with both games, and before the final whistle blew, every loyal heart palpitated with joy, for it was evident that here were the makings of a fighting, smashing, and winning combination to constitute the varsity team. It was only a matter of a few weeks when the new material, combined with the old, was welded into a uniformly working machine—perfected, finished as it were—the new combination—the varsity team! Meanwhile, Manager Potter had been strenuously working, arranging a schedule for the team, and he is to be heartily com- mended for his most efficient management of the team and many of the affairs con- nected with it. After much preliminary negotiation, he finally arranged a “ peppy ” schedule of ten games. Everything was now ready for the start. Opponents were selected, who were noted for their formidable teams—and the boys were in the pink of condition and were on edge awaiting the opportunity of demonstrating to a skeptical yet optimistic following, their capabilities. The personnel of the team was as follows: A. L. McLaughlin C oach Wm. E. McCarty Captain Wm. E. McCarty William H. Eccles Richard P. Reimann Morris Finklestein James J. Del Negro Iyman R. Schwartz Arthur J. Kantz Caspar T. Chiara GILBERT D. POTTER Gilbert D. Potter Manager Earl Green MATTHEW MlECZKOWSKI John H. Fox Paul Sahagian !«§I§ Two Hundred Eight •'S 9! • K85u§F Wm. E. McCarty Ttvo Hundred Nine ’’■WVTC Two Hundred Ten ■ The next to go down to defeat was Queen’s University, who furnished one of the most furiously contested games ever witnessed. Though Queen’s was a heavier team, the' Pharmacy team, through their alacrity and consistency, came out victorious at the final whistle, with the score A. C. P. 41, Queen’s 40. Our next opponent was Oswego Normal, who gave the A. C. P. team a stiff light, and it took the usual brilliant playing of our quintet to present a final score of A. C. P. 47, Oswego Normal 37. The Clarkson Tech team, who last year administered a defeat to our team, came hack strong, to repeat the drubbing handed then to our boys. The end of the first half found our team in the lefe'd, with, a score .of 19 to 16. During the second half, Clarkson rallied valiantly and at times it seemed that the A. C. P. five would be overwhelmed, and defeat for us loomed again and again, ominously in the air. By an almost superhuman effort, our team again came out on top, with a score of A. C. P. 33, Clarkson Tech 32. Intense excitement now pervaded the entire school. We had won four vic- tories in a row, and there were many who fondly cherished the hope that we would finish the season unbeaten. But the Fates decreed otherwise, and so we met our first defeat in the hands of St. Bonaventure, final score A. C. P. 16, St. Bonaventure 26. This first defeat, however, only tended to make the boys train more assidu- ously, with the result that our next opponent, Amsterdam Y. M. C. A., was beaten by our aggregation on their court by a veritable deluge, the score at the end of the game A. C. P. 39, Amsterdam Y. M. C. A. 23. Enheartened by their recoup in this game, the boys next met Cortland Normal, and after a hard uphill struggle, attained the lead in the early part of the game, and finished with the usual gratifying result of A. C. P. 28, Cortland Normal 25. The Rochester School of Optometry, came, saw, conquered. We were, we will admit the conquered, by the score A. C. P. 28, Rochester S. of O. 38. We must, however, accept the fortunes of war philosophically, but yet we believe that had our boys played the same game they played in their previous encounters, this defeat could have easily been registered as a victory. And thus ended the season on the home grounds—everyone was elated. The A. C. P. basketball team, hitherto an unknown and ignored factor in collegiate athletic circles, came out of obscurity, anil by the dint of sheer fighting and most skillful playing, had humbled some of the strongest fives in the State. Our team then departed for their foreign invasion, confidently expecting to repeat the previous drubbings handed to Oswego and Cortland. But the tide turned, and both games were lost, our opponents evidently Strengthened by their home atmosphere. The score at Oswego was A. C. P. 20, Oswego Normal 28; at Cortland Normal, A. C.

There, are no doubts that this combination will be augmented and strengthened by recruits amongst the incoming Juniors, and we feel confident, that they will carry on the good work which the team of 1925-26 has established as precedent. 1 Sarkis Kazarian Monager A stride forward in the activities of our college in the nature of sports was effected in October 1925, with the organization of the Albany College of Pharmacy Swimming Team. The nature of this organization was referred to our Dean by a group of aquatic enthusiasts who were well aware of the benefits to be derived from such an enterprise. Needless to say, our keen-sighted faculty, was quick to discern its value, not only to the individual participants, but to the school, and gave it their whole hearted co-operation. The advantages of swimming as a sport; as an art; or even as a means of amusement are manifold. It aids nature in building up the human frame, for in no other field of sports, are so many different muscles of the body brought into play at the same time as in this, it strengthens the mind as well as the body, for to swim skillfully, gracefully, and tirelessly, to maintain equilibrium of motion, to master the various intricate swimming strokes, call for considerable mental effort. And lest we forget, it has a hygienic value which in itself is conducive to good health. Two Hundred Thirteen •=“ And so with the aforementioned in mind, the purpose of the organization of the swimming team, is, to prepare the students for aquatic responsibility; to develop mind and body; and to promote good fellowship and sportsmanship. Towards that end, the members of the team meet once a week at the Public Bath House for two hours, where they are given special instructions in plunging, diving, floating, fetching, underwater swimming, and life saving. Two contests are held yearly, which include events covering all of these. Meets are also arranged with other teams in the city. Membership is practically opeii to all who qualify, for all that is necessary is good moral character and a slight knowledge of swimming. M embers Manager, Sarkis J.

I Life Saving In addition to the advantages afforded those who learn to swim, we may view this sport from a phase which we”have slightly considered before. To know the art of life saving is undoubtedly the most important advantage of learning how to swim, for we may he called upon at any time, to save the life of a drown- ing person. To expect a person who is a poor swimmer, or who cannot swim at all, to save a life, is of course out of the question, and many of us would give anything to be able to place ourselves amongst the class of good swimmers, so that at some time or another, we could jump in, and help some one, who unfortunately could not help himself. A good knowledge of swimming, there- fore, can place us in that restricted class, and simultaneously mark us as an administrator of first aid, which the pharmacist is naturally classed as, on account of his training. PUBLIC BATTI IIOUSK SWIMMING POOL Two Hundred Fifteen B OWLING Stephen T. Grosoh Monager Strike! Strike! Spare! Strike! Not a riot friends, but our bowling teams in action. A sure cure for the blues, this is to be sure. A gentleman’s game, in the days of yore, bowling has reached the standard as one of the major sports in the Albany College of Pharmacy. Requiring strong initiative, a good eye, steady nerves, and a strong forceful arm, bowling can be readily classed as a Veritable health builder. With this in mind, the bowling teams, under the leadership of Stephen T. Grosch, started November 11th, on a new and improved schedule. A league was formed consisting of the Senior, the Junior, the Faculty and the Fraternity bowling teams. Many excellent bowlers were disclosed in their ranks, and never before in the history of this sport at the Albany College of Pharmacy, has such intense interest, and such keen rivalry been evident. Unfortunately the Faculty had many on its sick list, with the result that the showing of its members were not up to par. The Fraternities put up an excellent team, and gave their opponents many a thrilling contest. In fact, right from the beginning of the schedule, the race has been neck to neck, and only the last game, will doubtlessly decide the supremacy of any one team.

M. C. A., the students of the Albany College of Pharmacy, went through another year of vigorous and beneficial physical training. .. Each week at the “ Y,” both the Senior and the Junior classes met, and in addi- tion to the regular setting-up exercises and calisthenics, various events were held, in which all students participated; these events including broad jumping, high jumping, chinning, running, etc. The individual students earning the high- est score in points were awarded prizes donated by the Faculty, and to the class earning the highest number of points, a silver loving cup was presented, thus stimulating keen rivalry amongst the stu- dents and classes. tm Director M. Howard It goes without saying, that the benefits and advantages of a physical training such as was afforded the students of A. C. P. were manifold, both to body and mind. It served its purpose not only as a material aid in the preservation and improvement of the physical condition and general health of the student body, but as a great stimulant in upholding their morale.

Yes!” he observed, when the survey was done, “ That’s the matter with you, beyond doubt.” So I went to a dentist—he tcM me of one— Who savagely pulled them all out. But still 1 was racked by all manner of pain, Though I hadn’t a tooth in rny head; As the time dragged along it grew daily more plain That I’d soon be confined to my bed. So another physician T hastened to see, Who drew a small tube from its sheath, Found my temperature up to a hundred and three And said: “ It’s because you’ve no teeth.” I am feeling much better, but how can I tell That soon some distinguished physician May not say I have never a chance to get well, Because of my toothless condition? 1 am inwardly trembling with shuddery fear, Though I’m outwardly stoic and brave, For if teeth are declared to be vital next year There is nothing ahead but the grave! Vt� S Two Hundred Twenty-five .i.-.- ....1. THE PROSPEROUS DRUGGIST The drug store is a modern Noah’s ark with this difference: Instead of only two of everything there is at least a gross. Also, Noah was a patriarch and a prophet without honor in his own country, while a druggist is profit pure and simple. Well, pure at least, if not simple. You may not agree with me that the druggist business is profitable. I have spent a great deal of time in drug stores. A great deal more since the Volstead Act went through. T never was so well acquainted with the prescription work as I am now, and, while waiting to have my pint—I mean prescription—filled, I have watched the thriving business he does. Here’s a typical scene: Customer—Have you a 2-cent stamp? Druggist—Yes, ma’am. Customer—Will you please sell me one and take it out of this ten-dollar bill? Druggist—Yes, ma’am. Customer—Wait a minute. I have a 1-cent stamp here. You just better sell me a 1-cent stamp. Second Customer (rapping impatiently on the counter with a nickel)—Will you please wait on me? 1 have been waiting here for half an hour. Druggist—Yes, madam, just a minute. What would you like? Second Customer—1 want a telephone slug. Druggist—Here you are, madam. Third Customer—Will you let me look at your directory? (looks at direc- tory)—Why, this is wrong. I moved into this neighborhood since they printed this address. Druggist—1 am awfully sorry, madam. Fourth Customer—Sav, is that clock right? Druggist—Yes, ma’am. Fourth Customer—Are you sure? Druggist—Well, tolerably sure. Fourth Customer—Well, it was wrong the other day. Druggist—I had it fixed. Fifth Customer—Nice day, isn’t it? Druggist—Yes, ma’am. Could I do anything for you? Fifth Customer—Well, you might give me a glass of water. I am waiting here to meet somebody. Sixth Customer—Do you know anything good for rheumatism? Druggist—This is said to be good. One dollar for the bottle. Sixth Customer—You haven’t got a 25-ccnt bottle, have you? Druggist—No, it doesn’t come that small. Sixth Customer—Have you anything else for 25 cents ? Druggist—1 am afraid not. Sixth Customer—1 wish you had. 1 have got rheumatism awful bad. I’d give anything to get rid of it. Druggist—Well, why not give a dollar for this bottle? Sixth Customer—That’s too much. It would take me too long to use it and it might spoil, or T might get over my rheumatism before T got it all used up. You can see from this what a rushing business the druggists do. Xo wonder they build summer homes with platinum doorknobs, surrounded by pools of eau de cologne, filled with solid goldfish. STRICTLY GERM-PROOF They said it was a microbe, and a hotbed of Disease, They steamed it in a vapor and a thousand odd degrees, They froze it in a freezer that was cold of Banished Hope And washed it in permanganate and carbolated soap. There’s not a micrococcus in the garden where they play They bathe in pure iodoform a dozen times a day; And each imbibes his rations from a Hygienic Cup The Bunny, and the Baby, and the Prophylactic Pup.

Prof. L.—Didn’t I caution you not to use the pipette wjjth corrosive acids? N. .S’.—Ooh—wah—how it burns! Prof. L.—Come to my office, and I’ll do something for you. I think a solu- tion of sodium bicarbonate will do you some good. (Prof. L. leaves for his office.) N. .S', (following Prof. L. into his office.) Prof. L. (handing N. S. the solution)—Here, put this in your mouth, and keep it there for about ten minutes, and you’ll be all right. The sodium bicar- bonate will neutralize the nitric acid. See Sadtler and Coblentz, page 461. Prof. O’Brien (passing, is attracted)—What happened, Prof. Larkin? Prof. L.—Poor-technique gave this fellow an idea of what nitric acid tastes like. I gave him some sodium bicarbonate. What do you think of it? Prof. 0.—I’m afraid the saliva will interfere with the action of the bicarb on the acid. I would suggest Di Chloramine T. dissolved in Paraffinum Chlor- inatum which is one of the most modern remedies for burns caused by cor- rosive acids. N.

CURTAIN Two Hundred Forty-nine ASPIRINES (The Bayer Facts) If your sweetie throws you down, And she calls you silly clown; And the ring—she then returns, And your ardent love she spurns; When the world is pretty blue, And your spirit says “ I’m through. Just take one—or maybe two— As-pi-rines. I f your school exams are hard, And annoy you from the start; If each question is a catch, And an answer’s hard to match; When your finish is in sight, And you creep into the night; Just take two—to ease your plight- As-pi-rines. If sometimes you’re indiscreet, And perchance have played the “ street Just to buy her pretty pearls, And you’re quickly “ done in oils Don’t put something “ on the hip,” And in time, give up the ship, Just put two upon your lip— As-pi-rines. If your foot—or if your tooth, Or your backbone, docs forsooth Start to ache, or start to pain, And all sunshine turns to rain, Don’t you bawl or don’t you whine! Straighten up your aching spine, A dose of two—the “ genuine ”— As-pi-rines. Two Hundred Fifty 'ib-Z orr 'X. And when you’ve charged a nobby suit. And some nobby shoes to boot; And your tie it is the “ cats,” And your ankles, clothed in spats, You call upon your dad for “ kale,” He lands on you—you land in jail! Just take a couple—do not fail— As-pi-rines. And tho’ our story’s scarcely o’er, Yet we can hardly think of more New words—new thoughts—we try to find; But somehow Fate is not so kind. Our memory’s dull, our pen is dry; We may as well lay down and die. Before we do, we think we’ll try— As-pi-rines.

C — Two worms waiting to be picked up by park sparrows. Ringing loudly in the silence of the' night, the druggist’s bell roused him from slumber. With reluctance, he wrapped himself in a dressing gown and went downstairs, shivering, to be met at the door by a placid-looking man who merely wanted a bottle of soda water. The druggist’s feelings were strong, but he resolved to do business. “ Five cents extra on the bottle,” he murmured blandly, “ which will be al- lowed on return.” Then he returned to bed. Two hours later the bell rang again. Once more he went down. Again it was the placid-looking man. “ There’s your bottle,” he said calmly. “Gimme my 5 cents ! ” “ Daughter, dear, your escort brought you home very late last night.” “ Yes, it was late, mother.

One day, his patience exhausted, he discharged him. “Will you give me a reference?” asked the lazy one. The employer sat down to write a non- committal letter. His effort resulted as follows: ? “ The bearer of this letter has worked for me one week and I am satisfied.” Biggs—“ I called on Mabel last night and I was’nt any more than inside the house before her mother asked me my intentions.” Jiggs—“ That must have been em- barrassing.” Biggs—“ Yes, but that’s not the worst of it. Mabel called from upstairs and ‘said, ‘ That isn’t the one, mother.’ ” Why did they select the stork to couple with the doctor? Why not the eagle or the owl? “ The stork is the bird with the biggest bill.” “ Let me kiss those tears away, sweet- heart,” he begged tenderly. She fell into his arms and he was very busy for a few minutes. But the tears flowed on. “Can nothing stop them ? ” he asked, :i breathlessly. §-: “ No,” she murmured, “ it’s hay fever, but go on with the treatment.” Mr. Common Citizen stepped into the butcher shop with a do-or-die look on his face. “A pound of steak,” he ordered. The steak, mostly bone, was thrown on the scales. “ Look here,” remonstrated Mr. Com- mon Citizen iti as firm and determined a voice as he could command, “ you’re giv- ing me a big piece of bone.” “Oh, no, I ain’t,” returned the butcher blandlv; “ ver payin’ fer it.” He could swing a ten-pound dumb-bell He could dance, and he could box; lie could row upon the river And could clamber ’mong the rocks ITe could golf from morn till evening.

Three Hundred COn the Making of College Annuals HE Keats’ ideal of beauty, as formulated in his immortal ode, is the guiding spirit of our organization. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever ” particularly applies to a College Annual, for as year chases year down the pathway of Time it will be increasingly pleasant to cherish a book—your book—that is representative of the finest printing and binding. We aim to sense the spirit and sentiment of your school or college, for our Annual department is under the supervision of college men long experienced in this branch of printing.
