Wright Thirty JMl anb Jfaretoell I low [me has the day been, how bright was the sun, How lovely and joyful the course that we run; Though we rose in a mist when the race was begun And there followed some droppings of rain: But now the fair travelers come to the West, The rays are all gold and the beauties are best; The sky painted gay as the sun sinks to rest; And foretells a bright rising again. One would scarcely recognize us now as the group that entered this insti- tution not many months ago; for there have since been many changes. There appear now several faces which were not with us at the beginning of our career at A. C. P.; while many others are missing. We have become dignified Seniors and if our greatest change is in appear- ance, we have grown equally as great in knowledge. Class spirit, that rather elusive wraith, needed no encouragement, was not a doubtful quantity. The number participating in extra-curriculum activities helped the cause along. Our various athletic teams made a fine showing both on the floor and in Neptune’s kingdom. Flying colors were oft in evidence as a result of the spirit of eagerness, the determination to win and the wholeheartedness of the participants. The class election proved a diversion worthy of note. Opposing factions, veiled secrecy, et cetera contributed to make a fiery scene. When the smoke of battle had drifted away, the staff of power was found in the hands of Leonard G. LaP arge, who proved himself a capable executive. Francis S. Needham and George P . Walker were elected to assist him in crime as first and second vice- presidents, respectively. A young lady, under the cognomen of Rachel E. Latti- more was conceded to be the best pen-pusher and was accordingly made secretary. Perry W. Hughes was entrusted with the position of treasurer and business manager, and the editorial data was vested with William Rosenblum. Gordon C. Stone was selected to chronicle the class history. The reportorial position went to Winston A. Chesterfield to furnish the press with the high spots of our athletic and pharmaceutical existence. And then the election, marked by keen political rivalry, became a thing of the past. The social season of the school term was opened by the Senior Hop. As is customary, the attendance was large and the affair pronounced more than a suitable beginning to the social program. Dimmed lights, charming women, gay hearts, and romantic music did homage to King Terpischore. Thirty-one At this time we wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Faculty who have imbued us with a spirit to seek for greater things in the age old art of phar- macy. They have inspired us and contributed to our advancement in this world. Invaluable assistance has been rendered and we realize that much of our success in later life will be due to their unceasing efforts in our behalf. We might compare the college to a shrine to which we journey bringing our best in mental effort and in return being given knowledge, inspiration, encour- agement, and the companionship of fellow pilgrims. Truly, the order changeth yielding place to the new, our Alma Mater is to be given a new housing. A modern institution will now embrace the entering class. We have been signally honored by Fate who has selected us as the last class to graduate from the antiquated yet ««stately structure. It has served its purpose and must pass on as we all must. Ever our thoughts shall return to the lecture hall, recitation rooms, laboratories, and staircase. Pleasant memories will remind us of the happy days spent in the old school on the hill. Following last year’s class as leaders and gaining experience thereby, one can feel that this class is prepared to fill, to the best of their ability, the places allotted them by Fate. To the class of ’28 we entrust the traditions of a beloved Alma Mater. May you reverence and cherish them as have we and may your efforts in the future be crowned with some measure of the success that has attended us— “ To you from falling hands, we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high.” —and now, scarcely realizing that our college career has ended, we must begin a new era, a new period, leaving the school where we have studied, which we have enjoyed and loved. We hope we have maintained the excellent reputation of the school that we may leave behind us a record to be envied, that we may be remembered as a class with no blot on our history. It might be remarked that tempus fugit. This may not seem so, and the goal may appear far distant; but nevertheless, it has been attained by honest effort. After long weary months, as a matter of course, June, the month of months rolls around in its turn. An annual event, but it has acquired a new and greater significance to many each year. As the last year draws to a close, life seems a bit more serious. Work ahead and work behind—else no progress. There’s much to be done, but it is with a tinge of sadness that we come to the parting of the ways, when we leave the halls of our Alma Mater and its noble citizenry, the Faculty. Henceforth we must strike for ourselves. The burden of responsibility for our individual action rests upon us. Our traits will be revealed. Thirty-two It is thus with a sense of duty done and a knowledge that the class of ’27 of the Albany College of Pharmacy has taken a long step forward that we close.

Wytrwal Robert A. Yehlk Lewis L. Zimmer Sixty-nine Cla£s IT is only a matter of a few months since two hundred or so of the youth of Albany and surrounding vicinities assembled in front of the Albany College of.Pharmacy, anxiously awaiting the opening of its portals. But what a difference a few months make. An innocent bystander, looking over the motley crew and observing them going through their pranks now, would rub his eyes in amazement. What a sorry looking lot they were at the start! And what a blaze class of students they turned out to be. The old traditions of the college life are being trampled in the dust. First year men are supposed to be meek, obedient, and polite; but not so with the Class of '28, for the Seniors have fallen down in their duties. Frosh should be put in their place, and as prospective Seniors we shall restore that old tradition. Our new College and all our fondest hopes are centered in it. Every one of us is proud that we are to be the first class to receive our tutoring in a college that bids fair to be one of the most famous educational centers in the country. Three hearty cheers for the men who have made this building possible, Doctor Mansfield, his efficient stafif of Professors and the Board of Trustees. Field day was the first opportunity that many of us had to come in contact with our fellow students. On that ne’er to be forgotten day we selected our room-mates and friendships were hatched that have already ripened into the real thing. After we were fairly well acquainted with each other, the election of the Class Officers came as a matter of course. The voting was spirited and the candidates knew full well that they were in a fight, before they were finally elected. The election of the President was a close affair, but the females of the class, who are more deadly than the male, threw the balance to Abe Silverman. Why they came under his standard is still a mystery as his opponents were much better looking. He doesn’t sport a Rolls-Royce so it must be his personality. The first Vice-Presidency went to Leonard Mendelsohn, our own Larry, an Apollo in the flesh and an Amy in the making. Moustaches have become the vogue at the college, and so Moe Koplin was elected second Vice-President. The girls had to be represented, so Martha Edmond was elected Secretary. Morris Sacks arid Al. Weinberger, “the long and short of it,'’ were elected Treasurer and Reporter respectively and Charles Serling was selected to chronicle the class history. The first half of the year passed quickly. While the study of pharmacy was new to most of us, the majority of the class came through with flying colors. The many activities, as basketball, swimming, howling, etc., helped us to break the monotony of continuous grinding at our books. The Senior Hop and the other social events brought out the fair sex in large numbers. Seventy And then came the social event of the year, the Junior Prom. A beautiful night, a beautiful gathering, and a more beautiful affair. To look at the happy countenances of those present, one would think that they had not a care in the world. The affair was the most successful in the history of A. C. P. If the orchestra had held out, we would still be dancing. At is was, we met the milk-man on our way home. Then came the second half of the college year. By this time, we were all accustomed to the grind and we settled down to a long siege before the beginning of the mid-winter vacation, when we were glad to get away for a rest and prepare for the home stretch. Most of our work had been done, but there was sufficient to be done to reach our final goal. And reaclrnt, we did. We are about to leave, but it won’t be long before we’ll be aching to get back to our studies again, this time as proud Seniors, a title to conjure with.

Treasurer r 7'is One Hundred Two $rog reste On November 10th, 1925, the following news item appeared in a local newspaper: PHARMACY COLLEGE RECEIVES GIFT OF SITE FROM COUNTY Supervisors Deed Plot on New Scotland Avenue for Building Albany County Supervisors last night deeded to the Albany College of Pharmacy a plot of land in New Scotland avenue on which a college building will be erected. The 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. i 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—ithe 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 Three ALEMBIC PHARMAK.CN THE OU) 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. And we extend, on behalf of the Student body—sincerest congratulations— to Dr. Mansfield—to the Board of Trustees—for making it possible. THE NEW One Hundred Four SMstorp anb Bebelopment of Cl)e gUtianp College of tarmac? The idea of organizing a College of Pharmacy originated with Mr. Archibald McClure head of the firm of A. McClure and Co., wholesale druggists, Albany. He, with the assistance of Dr. Willis 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 comnjijtce 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 better 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. Willis 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 3, 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 Five Tucker became president and dean of the faculty. No important change occurred in the professorships until 1903 when Professor Michaelis resigned the active professorship and Mr. Garret V. Dillenbeck was appointed associate professor of the department. After this dale 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 appointment 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 chem- istry, the practice of chemical analysis in its varied branches, and the advance- ment 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 in Materia Medica immediately, later an Assistant Professor of that subject and Chemistry, and for many years he 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. TTe 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 State 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 Ph.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. One Hundred Six 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. 'l'he 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 sm 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 prepara- tion of wood alcohol, had before this time been of little practical value. Growth of the College under its Presidents Mr. Joseph V. 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 (.lass 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 be graduates of a College of Pharmacy. One Hundred Seven 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 Regents’ counts. In 1906 the entrance requirements were increased to fifteen counts. In 1907 toxicology was added to the course and in the following year physiology and Latin were added. In 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 lahoraton' 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 games played this season, defeating Rochester Mechanics Institute, Rochester, N. Y.; Oswego Normal School, Oswego, N. Y.; Springfield College Juniors, Springfield. Mass.; St. Michaels College, Winooski, Vt.; and New Jersey College of Pharmacy, Newark, N. J. The Albany College of Pharmacy has to date fifteen hundred and eighty- one graduates. This number will he rapidly added to because of the large classes now in attendance. There are, at the present time, two hundred and fifty-seven students at the college. When the college occupies its new building in the Fall of 1927 a total of five hundred students can he accommodated. One Hundred Eight 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 (Ph.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 subjects arc required: Pharmacy Theory Pharmacy Laboratory Mathematics Latin Commercial Pharmacy Theory Commercial Pharmacy Laboratory Histology Theory Histology Laboratory Botany Theory «Botany Laboratory Physiology Theory Posologv Inorganic Chemistry Theory Qualitative Chemistry Theory Qualitative Chemistry Laboratory Physics Theory Business English During the Second Year the following subjects are required: 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 75% in each subject is required. The rapidly increasing population of the. State, of New York has made it necessary for 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, now nearing completion on the New Scotland Avenue site. The 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. One Hundred Nine 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 Slate Board of Pharmacy until July 1st, 1925, at which date 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. lie 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. Warble, 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. lie wras 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. In 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. One Hundred Eleven 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.B. In 1909 he graduated from the Albany College 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 until he entered the army in 1917. During the time he occupied this position he developed the course of Com- mercial Pharmacy and established it as one of the major subjects taught in College. He 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. lie is a member of the Yale Club, Port 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 rooms, 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. One Hundred Twelve 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 chemistry, one for advanced pharmacy and the other for advanced materia medica and technical microscopy. Equipment of Pharmacy Department Laboratories The laboratories of the pharmacy department will consist of a manufacturing laboratory, dispensing laboratory and an advanced pharmacy laboratory. The manufacturing and dispensing laboratories are 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 ga.s, 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 arc 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 salts 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 laboratory there will be eighteen tables each table providing a three foot working space and fitted with a compound micro- scope, a euoscope, an 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 Thirteen In this laboratory the student studies by means of a dissecting miscroscope 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 are 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 modern 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 manu- facturing 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. Dean William Mansfield m One Hundred Fourteen Ceremonial Cxemses The first actual event in the program was the breaking of ground for the new building of the Albany College of Pharmacy on New Scotland Avenue, opposite the present site of the Albany Hospital, on May 13, 1926. Assistant Commissioner, Augustus S. Downing, having been requested to perform the ceremony of lifting the first shovelful of dirt, spoke briefly as follows: Chancellor Richmond, Dean Mansfield, and members of the Board of Trustees of the Albany College of Pharmacy: It is not only a pleasure, but a very high honor, that has been accorded me, as representative of the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York and Director of Professional Education, to perform this service in behalf of the Albany College of Pharmacy. This institution is an integral part of Union University, and through the long years of its history, it has stood for the advancement of the interest of pharmacy not only in this vicinity, but throughout this State and throughout the whole country. It has steadfastly stood for the integrity and improvement in education of those who should enter upon the study of pharmacy, as well as maintained high ideals for the pro- fessional training of pharmacists, not only for the good of the student himself, but for what is more important, perhaps, the protection of the public against service by incompetent men. The city and the State and the University of which it is a part, have reason to be proud of its achievement, and now that a new building large enough and properly equipped for carrying on the work of the insti- tution is really assured, this is a day for great rejoicing. Two hundred days, in the span of life, is a short time and it will seem to have been a very short time when a year from now the student body will be housed in a building fitting and becoming to the great work which this institution is doing and will better continue to do in the years to come. .1, therefore, congratulate you Mr. Chancellor, and you Mr. Dean, and members of the Board of Trustees, as well as the student body, on this fortuitous day. There is an old adage that “ Blessed is the bride that the sunshines on,” and so on this first beautiful, warm, sunshiny day of Spring, the Lord is shining upon our work; and we may regard it, if not the bridal day, at least the public announcement of the engagement of this institution to the service of the great State of New York. Again, therefore, it gives me pleasure to turn the first spadeful of earth in this great enterprise, and may God bless the elforts of all of those concerned with the welfare of this institution and let his blessing fall upon those who graduate today and those who shall graduate in all the years to come. One Hundred Fifteen � r Trained pharmacists, skilled in the knowledge and the functions of chemical agencies, able assistants to the medical fraternity, conscientious dispensers of health-giving but also dangerous compounds, will march forth from the halls of this building, but their service to humanity, their joy of life, their consciousness of knowledge will all be enhanced by the vision which has accompanied them through their years of study in this place. Manhood or womanhood devoted to the service of humanity, con- scious of knowledge but using it only for noble purposes, must be the crowning result of this material structure with its material equipment.

Harvey Smith. It 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 institu- tions 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 chapters and the pharmaceutical chapters divide so that the present Kappa Psi Fraternity is strictly a pharmaceutical fraternity. Since that time the name has been length- ened 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 college affairs. We are 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 September 28. 1925, we were given an insight of the spirit of fraternalism at a smoker given by the brothers of ’26. On March 29, 1926, new officers were installed and since then we have had the task of striving to better the good work done by our predecessors. On February 12, 1926, a formal dance was held in the Ten Eyck ball room. It was with regret that all those present left after the last dance was over. One Hundred Twenty-five On May 11, 1926, the Sixteenth Annual Banquet was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel. Professor Seneca S. Smith presided as toastmaster. We had the good fortune to have as our guest Senator William T. Byrne, member of the Board of Trustees, who was the principal speaker of the evening. Professor E. C. Hut- man was among the other speakers. The first meeting of the senior year was held October 11, 1926, with rather a small delegation of members, but we have since initiated into the fraternity mam- capable men, whom we feel assured will carry on with the good work even more successfully than us. On October 18, 1926 a smoker was 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 wefc given by the faculty, Kappa Psi brothers and some of the Juniors. On February 25, 1927, a formal dance was held in the Ten Eyck ballroom, for members and friends. Many old members were back, which made an enjoy- able evening even more so. Plans are being made for our Seventeenth Annual Banquet to be held at the Ten Eyck Hotel in June. We feel that we, as brothers of Kappa Psi, class of ’27, have carried on the good work that others have set for us, and we feel assured, judging from the calibre of the officers elect for the year 1927-1928, that they will carry on the work of Kappa Psi in a better way, in a better school.

Sloane Max H. Stern One ITundred Thirty-one 21 Resume In the spring of 1921 Beta Chapter, of Rho Pi Phi Fraternity was organized through the spirit of interest, cooperation, and assistance of a progressive group of students of the Albany College of Pharmacy. The aims of these men were to create a fraternal organization where a spirit of brotherly love and friendship would exist and to endeavor to elevate the standing of the Pharmacy profession. Social functions were extensively engaged in and the dignity and care with which they were exercised affords a rare pleasure. Thus was the second link of an endless chain humbly begun, and through unceasing and honest endeavor, Beta Chapter has reached the stage it' now occupies and also the respect with which the fraternity is regarded. Others soon became interested in this fraternal organization and steps were taken to nation- alize the fraternity, with the result that at the .present day chapters are known in collegiate cities extending from coast to coast. The fraternal spirit with which the fraternity was begun has been very deeply imbedded in the hearts of its fraters, and it was this spirit of brotherly feeling that brought back many alumni members to the numerous affairs and social events of the chapter. The initial function of the fraters of ’27 was the annual smoker which was indeed a fine affair. The speeches, enjoyment, and fraternal environment aroused the spirit and enthusiasm of the fraters and the future members of Rho Pi Phi. The Pledgee Dance ensued at the Aurania Club and this was indeed a rare treat. The dancing continued until the wee hours of the morning, and needless to say, a good time was had by all. Other social engagements followed in rapid succession, and finally officers were elected and installed for the coming year and upon them fell the responsi- bility of guiding the fraternity through a path of brotherly love and friendship and of solving the problems with which they would be confronted. The Fifth Annual Banquet was held at the Hampton Hotel on May 11th. Professor William A. Larkin presided as Toastmaster. The humorous and serious speeches, intermingled with music and the fraternal air was and could not result otherwise but in a great success. The Senior year started rather slowly but improved as the days rolled by. The usual smoker was held on October 21st, and all records for attendance were shattered. On January the 13th the Pledgee Dance added to the successful social activities of the fraternity. Soon the Annual Formal Affair rolled around in its turn and on April the 2nd, the Colony Plaza was the scene of one of the greatest social events of the year. One Hundred Thirty-three , The Annual Banquet will be held during Commencement week, at which time many alumni members will be present. It is with a tinge of sadness that the year draws to a close, the realization that soon we shall no longer be active members of A. C. P., but there still remains the consolation that we are still members of Rho Pi Phi. Some of us will return for the post-graduate course, others will enter the chosen profession for which they have so earnestly prepared. Pleasant memories will remind us of the happy days spent among our fraters in the Old School on the Hill. It is thus with a sense of duty well done and the knowledge that Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi has taken a long step forward, that we close.

Zimmer One Hundred Thirty-seven ■ !3 Resume In 1917 a number of students at the Albany College of Pharmacy foresaw the advantage to the school and to its student body of an organization in which high scholarship and good fellowship go hand in hand. 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, the activities of Epsilon Phi had to be suspended, for at the entrance of the United States into the World War many fraternity men answered the call. In 1922 reorganization began. Under the leadership of Frank A. Squires, now a member of the faculty, the fraternity was so thoroughly rejuvenated that when he retired from its presidency the fraternity had assumed large proportions. Peter Danzilo succeeded to the presidency. His many 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 capacity for laying facts before the members of the class in its meetings won for him the respect of the entire student body. Next to occupy the office of president was Harold J. Lynn followed by Kenneth Hunter, both proving worthy of the office and directing the affairs through their successful years. Jay Enich next became president by virtue of his scholastic standing and personality. During his tenure of office the number of active members greatly increased and under bis leadership the next great step, that of nationalizing the fraternity, really began. Certain social events such as the “ Smoker,” Prom, and Installation have become annual events. The first of these in our junior year was the “ Smoker ” which was held in the college building. It was attended by faculty, members and friends and was pronounced a great success. The annual prom was held in the Ten Eyck ball room. This, the premier of the fraternity’s dances, was enjoyed by a large number of alumni as well as active members. It was followed by two informals, the Pledgee and the Installation and Dance. Professor Larkin presided at the Installation and invested the new officers, headed by Earl Green as president, with their respective duties. One Hundred Thirty-nine The last and greatest event of the year was the Fifth Annual Banquet, held in the Hampton Hotel the night preceding Commencement in honor of the Faculty, Board of Trustees and graduates. Dean William Mansfield presided as toastmaster. Among the speakers were Mr. John A. Dixon, Mr. William Gibson, Professor Farrant, Professor F. A. Squires, Jay D. Enich and Kenneth Shults, historian. At the Grand Chapter Meeting the preceding afternoon a method for more firmly uniting the alumni was decided upon. Jay Enich was elected! president of the grand chapter. During our Senior year Brother President Green was obliged to leave school temporarily because of ill health. Lester Chickering, as vice-president, became president pro tempore and Brother Gonyea succeeded to the office left vacant by Brother Chickering. Social events; particularly the annual banquet are the means of bringing together our active members arid 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 brotherhood that makes a fraternity worthy of its name. L. Clyde Farrar, Historian One Hundred Forty Hambba appa fetgma ororitp BETA CHAPTER Roll of Officers Rachel E.

Wytrwal One Hundred Forty-three e£ume Lambda Kappa Sigma is a pharmaceutical sorority, which vas organized in October 1913 at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy to provide enjoyment for the girl students in pleasant social ways and to promote fellowship among them. It was not until the year 1919, that Beta Chaper of Lambda Kappa Sigma was installed in the Albany College of Pharmacy. Our present history starts with March 1926, when Rachel E. Latti- more was elected president. In the fall of that year, there were only three members but with this small and enthusiastic group, the sorority was increased to nineteen. The sorority accomplished many social activities with the aid of the officers and members. The first activity was the Rush Party given to the Junior girls of the college to promote acquaintance among them. On December 15 our first dance was held at St. Sophia’s Hall. Many of our alumnae were hack which made it an enjoyable evening for every- one present. The next great event was the dance held at the Colony Plaza and, being the greatest of the sorority’s dances, it was enjoyed immensely by the faculty and the students. The greatest event of the year was the Seventh Annual Banquet held during commencement week, where members parted, some as gradu- ates and others as Seniors. In order to make our Sorority flourish, the new members request the hearty support of each individual. We feel assured that the officers elected for this year of 1927-1928 will carry on the. work for Lambda Kappa Sigma. We charge you, “Oh! members of Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority,” guard unstrained the name of our Beta Chapter, ever keep for her the best of yourselves and in so doing give her members whom she may proudly claim as her own.

State College of Washington, Pullman, Wash One Hundred Forty-five J?eutrate If we trace life back as far as Adam and Eve, it can be considered that we are all brothers and sisters. With the passing of time we were separated into main groups, namely races, and sub-groups such as organizations, societies, clubs, etc. And so it exists at this College, the student body being divided into groups as sororities, fraternities, and neutrals. A friendly rivalry starts from the day the class officers are to be elected and continues throughout the year. We as neutrals, being an unorganised body, held together by only a com- mon interest and one motive to guide us, our Alma Mater, have made wonderful progress in our school activities. Whether the heading be scholastic, athletic, or social we were always well represented. Scholastically, many neutrals made inroads to the honor field. Our con- tinued success throughout the Junior and Senior year gained for us a place among the high average students. In sports, the neutrals were particularly active. Fifty per cent of the basket- ball squad were non-fraternity men. At the games our encouraging cheers fn time of defeat, and appreciative applause in times of victory were great factors of success on the home court. In swimming and bowling they rendered valuable assistance and made capable team-mates and unbeaten opponents. On Field Day they were conspicuous with their ability and energy, which placed them in the lead in many events. Socially, they were well represented at the various affairs, carrying with them a school spirit that could not be surpassed. Those of us who were musically inclined found places in the College Glee Club and Orchestra, aiding materially in the success of these deserving groups. Of the class officers many were neutrals and filled their positions creditably. Others served on numerous committees appointed from time to time and helped to solve various student problems, which occurred during the school year. As an unorganized body without a leader, the neutrals can look back with pride at the record they made for themselves in the class of ’27. As broadminded individuals we fully realize that we did not receive the assistance and cooperation that one fraternity man affords a brother or a member of a sorority affords a sister, but despite this fact friendship, good will, and good cheer were, created which prevailed throughout our college career.

This system was inaugurated two years ago and its success since then spells its perpetuation. The governing body is composed of a General Committee and two Executive Committees, representing each class. Several meetings were held during the year under the chairmanship of Dr. E. A. Vander Veer, at which time matters per- taining to student welfare were discussed. The faculty, the fraternity heads, class presidents, editor of the Year Book, business manager, and athletic man- agers made up the General Committee. The Junior and Senior Executive Committees were appointed by the respec- tive class presidents. These committees, consisting of the class presidents, a member of the faculty, and several members of each class were duly authorized to carry out the decisions reached by the General Committee.

FEE HUYCK Director RALPH AURITI Leader 0rcfje£tra With a comparatively small class, from which to select members, the Col- lege Orchestra, under the able leadership of Ralph Auriti and directorship of Professor C. L. Huyck, has made rapid progress in the past year. Besides making the basketball games social as well as athletic events with their syncopating music, they have, on several occasions, made local appearances in conjunction with the College Glee Club. Broadcasting from stations WGY at Schenectady and WHAZ at Troy, their fascinating tunes proved a source of enjoyment to all who “ listened in.” That these performances met with great success was shown by the number of congratulatory telegrams and letters which were received. The Orchestra of '27 has established a reputation for itself that will serve as a beckoning goal. Members Professor C. T.. ITuyck, Director Ralph Auriti, Leader Ralph Auriti, Drums Neil B.

The concert was followed by dancing, the music being supplied by the College Orchestra. The cooperation received by the Concert and Dance Committee from members of the faculty and Gibson Snow Co. aided materially in making the affair the biggest success of the social season. The proceeds were added to the Permanent Equipment Fund, which was begun several years ago, for the purpose of making the new Albany College of Pharmacy the best equipped pharmacy college in the United States.

O’Day orchestra and glee club concert and dance committee One Hundred Sixty-four Cbttorials I tston Out of the small material beginnings of an unknown institution for phar- maceutical students there has slowly grown the mighty home of learning which we know today. Through the stormy years, inspired by the far-reaching minds of our lirst tutors, splendid victories have followed each other in close suc- cession. Into the newer structure, which will soon grace a beautiful expanse of land, there has been built the framework of a high tradition, of a huge zeal, of a never-ceasing will to do bigger and greater things for A. C. P. Through the long period of constant development, there has been created and breathed into the college mind to end advance only when there were no new worlds to conquer; only when the never-to-be-attained summit of perfection was reached. Even so has it been with the great builders of a nation. Springing from their unfaltering search of goals lodged high in the shining peak of ambition has come their most precious contribution—the lesson of a stern idealism admixed with a firm will to accomplish. Of such an ancestry was born the College that exists today, from that same source will come the material to make possible our newer vision—the Greater A. C. P. of Tomorrow. A Greater College! Greater in distinction of faculty; greater in facilities for work; greater in service—a service to mankind—to a portrayal of that ideal, the aim fostered by a man of noble intuition, to whom we arc devoting this annual. Many elements must enter into the composition of a truly greater college. Material surroundings play a very important part in the efficiency of a school, but the fact must never be forgotten that they are merely one portion of the whole scheme of the ideal environment. Faculty and student body are inseparable con- stituent parts of another requisite phase of our educational progress. In the faculty there must be vision, sympathy, the ability to inspire; in the student body there must be intellectual curiosity, intelligent cooperation, and earnestness of purpose. Permeating all these more tangible factors must he a strong belief in service, the leaven necessary to the most fruitful mixture of concrete materials, if the spiritual apex of the welding which will make ultimately real, the Greater A. C. P. of our dreams is to be attained. Far in the past, more real in memory than in fact, huddles the small school that was the forerunner of the present college. On in the future, dimly outlined behind the misty veil that shields us from our fates, rises the mighty Alma Alater of the day to come. And we, midway between the dim past and the brighter One Hundred Si-vly-six future, strain forward eagerly as we reach for the goal of further attainment. We remember the past because its hopeful beginning is a spur to greater striving; because its pulsing propensities must be carried on; because it is the inspirational challenge to continued effort. The future, a tome whose end- less pages of weeks and days glow with opportunity, is before us; and at our hands lie the magic pens of vision. Tt is for us to see that we shall have wrought well, that the gleaming outlines of the projected building, real now only to those who dwell in thought beyond the veil of mist, shall tomorrow be our lasting monument in the quick-receding past. One Hundred Sixty-seven 3Tn tfje OTiorlb of Science Luminous Plants Glow worms are not the only living things that are luminous. Several plants and parts of plants have the. power of shining in the dark. There is, for example, a luminous moss. It can be seen in crevices among rocks and large groves by the roadside, sometimes in patches meas- uring six or seven inches across. The common tormentil gives off a light, too —just close near the roots. If the roots are dug up and cleaned of soil, they will be clearly outlined in the darkness by a pale green phosphores- cence. The light given off by decaying wood is common enough, but few peo- ple perhaps have noticed the light given off by leaves during the fall of the year. When beech and oak leaves start decaying they glow with much the same kind of light that comes from fresh fish. This light is caused by tiny threads that are interwoven into the plants and are essential to their health, al- though often they do not start glow- ing until the plants are either dying or dead. If the underside of a glow- ing beech leaf is examined under a magnifying glass, many yellow spots will be seen. These are the centers of the fibers, and if one is disturbed with the point of a pin it will glow more brightly for a few minutes. Immense Salt Beds That the southwest United States rests on a bed of salt averaging 500 feet thick is the conclusion geologists are drawing from the nature of ores «.brought, up from oil wells all over the region. The bed is known to be under the surface soil of 40,000 square miles of Texas and is believed to extend far into New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas. Some Texan wells have been drilled through strata of salt estimated to be more than 1,000 feet thick. Japanese Mushrooms Many varieties of mushrooms, little known in this country or in Europe, are to be found in Japan. The most esteemed of these is the shii-take which is chiefly grown on the ever- green oak. Trees about six inches in diameter are felled and cut into lengths of six feet. The logs are scarred on the back, and are laid on the ground for about three years. Then they are stacked in rows in shady places and soon become covered with mushrooms. After yielding one crop the logs are soaked in water, beaten with a wooden mallet, and again set up. In a few days new mushrooms begin to sprout on them. The shii-take is a great favorite in Japan, being used in many dishes, but most frequently in soups. One Hundred Si.vty-cic ht Pure Air In Amsterdam, Holland, the mu- nicipal electric light works sell air to citizens. This seems an odd by-prod- uct of the electric industry until it is considered that the electric ozona- tion process is one of the most effec- tive means of purifying the air just as lightning “ freshens ” a dank and humid atmosphere, stimulating those who breathe it. The Dutch air is drawn down through a chimney 100 feet high, purified and dried by elec- tricity and compressed into cylinders like those used for soda fountain gas in America. These are sold to homes in the city on an annual contract basis, for about $24 a year. Slow release of the air in bedrooms of people af- flicted with asthma is said to bring relief to the sufferer. Most of the world’s commercial supply of iodine comes from the ni- trate fields of Chile. Flowers and Coins Plenty of money has always gone into floral exhibitions, and this is lit- erally true in England, where a florist has succeeded in getting delicate tints with the aid of silver coins. He drops silver coins in water in which the flow- ers are standing. Silver hydroxide is formed and the action of the chemical changes the natural color of the blos- soms, giving them shadings not pos- sible under natural conditions. After the coloring has proceeded to a satis- factory degree, the coins are removed and a few crumbs of slaked lime or mortar are added to fix the tint. Black Phosphorus Black phosphorus, hitherto supposed to be pure phosphorus turned black as the result of sudden cooling, is pro- duced by the contact of phosphorus with mercury on which it can react at the moment when it passes from the liquid to the solid state. Molten phosphorus dissolves mercury, giving a colorless solution. When cooled the saturated solution remains colorless in all low temperatures, but if the phos- phorus solidifies the solidification is very weak and the mercury leaves the solidified phosphorus and colors it black. If black phosphorus is melted, the mercury is easily redissolved in the surrounding phosphorus and the whole body becomes colorless. This is the correct explanation of the phe- nomenon. Nature as a Physician A Boston doctor, who has been giv- ing some suggestions to his fellow doctors on the treatment of accidental wounds, says the main thing to do with a wound is to let nature do her best and not interfere too much with her. Nature, he points out, prevents in- fection by various methods. Blood washes out the wound, carries away a certain amount of the foreign mat- ter, including bacteria. The blood also contains certain “ anti bodies,” which act as chemical antiseptics and kill bac- teria. Nature, he claims, repairs wounds by bathing the injured tissues with serum which contains cell blood, and with white blood cells, which ab- sorb and digest badly damaged tissue. One Hundred Sixty-nine The Weed in Nature Weeds are the wound dressers of the soil. Whenever man or nature makes a scar, the vigorous, coarse- fibered weeds find out the spot and straightway mend the injury. Hated and much objurgated, the weed, of whatever breed, is one of the most useful forces of nature. The farmer regards it as a foe, the gardener as a nuisance. In truth, it is a friend that persists, regardless of ill treatment and attempts at extirpation. Soil, to preserve its strength, must be pro- tected with some sort of nature cov- ering, otherwise the rains leach it, or w:ash aw'ay the precious particles of mold that make it reproductive. Man neglects this factor in his dealings with the earth. Plowed fields are allowed to go uncovered after the crop is har- vested. Washouts are left to take care of themselves. So is burnt-over land. In all three instances, great damage results, and much more would follow but for the energy of the weed family. The color of the hair is furnished by the blood and is a pigment which contains iron and sulphur. Prophetic Plant A plant which is said to be able to predict earthquakes and volcanic erup- tions bears the scientific name of Abrus precatorius. It is a native of Cuba, has no flowers, and consists of a long stalk from u'hich branch numer- ous twigs containing rows of delicate looking leaves. The leaves frequently change color or close, while the twigs bend themselves into curious positions. This plant is highly sensitive to elec- tric and magnetic influences, and by being able to interpret the movements of the plant in response to electric cur- rents the scientist is enabled to predict great convulsions of nature. Creosote in Chimneys The division of agricultural engi- neering says that creosote deposit in a chimney is a product of distillation from burning wood. Greater quanti- ties of the deposit are produced when green wood is burned, so the best pre- caution is to be sure that you are using dry wood, as this will lessen the creo- sote. Chimneys subjected to cold wTinds are more susceptible to creosote than others, as the walls seldom be- come hot enough to carry off the ex- cess of gas. One Hundred Seventy a Bniggtst ts jfflore Cfjan a jflerdjant Pharmacy is an ancient and honorable profession. Its beginnings are lost in the mists of antiquity and its history is replete with substantial accomplish- ment. It was born in the same matrix as medicine and is the original source of many forms of research. Numerous investigators who have made valuable con- tributions to science and art have been enrolled among the numbers of its fol- lowers. Today, pharmaceutical research is scholarly and productive. In the laboratories of two continents scientists are industriously and effectively studying the problems of the field. The materials that the pharmacist deals with are in many cases so dangerous upon physical well-beings and the problems that face him in the handling of these materials and in his contacts with the public require so much intelligence—if they are properly performed—that it is absolutely essential for him to have a rather wide and intimate acquaintance with the fundamental sciences upon which the art depends. Since the distinction between the trade and the profession lies essentially in the fact that the trade needs to know only the methods in order to be proficient, while the profession needs to know the principles upon which the method depends, it follows that pharmacy is a profession rather than a trade. Yet, the general public of today look upon the druggist as a mere merchant (and sometimes worse than that). There are probably many causes for this, but the utmost cause, to my mind is the passing of the eighteenth amendment, which is self explanatory. It has brought many undesirable individuals into the field of pharmacy, and paved a path for the commercialization of the profession. When you walk into a modern pharmacy of today, you are impressed with a picture of a miniature department store. The aroma that greets your nostrils is that of toasted sandwiches rather than that of drugs and chemicals. The pre- scription department, which is the backbone of the pharmacists profession, is located in the rear of the store, or in a little corner, and sometimes even in the cellar, instead of being displayed where the public can see it. In order to instill in the minds of the public that “A DRUGGIST IS MORE THAN A MERCHANT ” it is up to the younger generation entering the field of pharmacy to stimulate the profession and create for the pharmacists a place among the professions of the world. One Hundred Seventy-one „ __I Arc, . • v ALEMBIC PHARMAILON Common £ tn$t I have suffered under two kinds of dentists. One says, with a guileless smile: “Now, this isn’t going- to hurt at all.” Having thus caused you to lower your guard, he deals a thrust which is twice as bitter because you are unprepared. The other says briefly: “ This will hurt:” You grip the chair a little tighter; the pain comes and goes, and to your surprise, is not so bad as you thought it would be. I note the same difference in technique among business executives. A man carne to me recently complaining about Iris boss. He said; “ The old man is so tender hearted that he causes other people a lot of needless pain. I've just learned that the executive committee plans to let me out next month. I suspected something of the sort last spring, and 1 went to the boss with the direct question. He soothed me with kind words and sent me away feeling that everything would be all right. “ So 1 rented a house and made all my plans to stay. Now f find that I’ve got to move, and it is far more difficult than it would have been six months ago. “ The old man doesn’t mean to lie. But he has side-stepped the hard thing all his life. He thinks that by dealing out friendly phrases he is sparing our feelings. He only makes things worse.” Great leaders have operated on the other principle. Caesar, in Africa, learn- ing that some of his officers were nervous at the approach of King Juba, delib- erately exaggerated the danger. Calling them together, he said sharply: “You will understand that within a day King Juba will be here, with ten legions, thirty thousand horses, a hundred thousand skirmishers and three hundred elephants. You are not to think or ask questions. T tell you the truth, and you must prepare for it. If any of you is alarmed, 1 shall send you home.” The forces of Mohammed, which swept victoriously across the East, were recruited not by the promise of reward but with an invitation to die for the faith. Said Napoleon: “If you experience reverses always remember these three things—union of your forces, activity, and a firm resolve to die with glory. These are the three great principles of military art which have made Eortune favor me in all my operations. Death is nothing but to live vanquished and without glory is to die every day.” This is the type of appeal that has built great empires, great faiths, great businesses. Those who tell us that life “ isn’t going to hurt ” do us a very poor service. What we want to know is when the test is coming, so that we can take a tighter grip and act like men. One Hundred Seventy-two 19 2? Cfje tillage ®ruggts(t (With apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) Under a spreading Chandelier The village druggist stands; The druggist is slim as a Roman spear With pale and slender hands; And the muscles of his «delicate arms Arc as soft as rubber bands. His hair is gray, and thin like lace, His face is like the wan; His brow is wet with anxious sweat At the paper he pauses to scan, lie looks the whole world in the face, For he has poisoned not any man. Week in, week out, from morn till night. You can hear his mortar go: You can hear him swing his pestle, With measured rhythm and slow, Like a housewife turning the coffee mill, When the morning sun is low. And children coming home from school Walk in at the open door; They love to look at the pretty things In the big glass case on the floor, And sigh to the depths of their little hearts For nickels and pennies galore. One Hundred Seventy-four Triturating,—macerating,—percolating. Onward through life he goes; Each morning sees his door unlocked; Each evening sees it close; Something clarified, something standardized Has earned a night’s repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my patient friend, For the lesson thou hast taught, Thus in the grinding mortar of life Our fortunes must be wrought; Thus on its sounding spatula shaped Each compounded deed and thought. One Hundred Seventy-five Carl Von Htnnaeus: Of all the great leaders of natural science there was one outstanding genius, a man who dared the tremendous task of classifying into families, generae and species, all of the plants, animals and minerals, known to man of his time. Through his work were laid the foundations of modern biology and mineralogy. This man was Carl Von Linnaeus. This short sketch may be of interest to students of natural sciences. Carl Von Linnaeus, or Linne as he is called to-day, was born in Sweden' in 1807. His father was a Curate and wanted his son to follow his fobtsteps. Accordingly he was sent to college. At college Von Linne neglected theology for botany and his progress in the former was so poor that his father decided to remove him from the school. One of the professors knowing Von Linne’s love for science, persuaded the father to allow his son to keep up his studies. Von Linne later became famous as a scientist and writer, and attained the chair of medicine in the University of Upsala. While in this chair he wrote the most famous of his works “ Species Plantarum,” in which we find the nucleus of modern binomic. scientific nomenclature. Von Linne was a very close observer of nature, for we find in his works, the most accurate and concise descriptions possible. He believed that all studies should be systematic and because of his work in systematizing botany, he has become known as the father of “ Systematic Botany.” It seems incredible that one man could achieve the work that Von Linne did in a short span of life. When this wonder scientist died in 1887 he left a legacy to future men of science which caused him to be remembered as the “Greatest Naturalist.” Irving N. Herman, ’27 One Hundred Seventy-six jf areto ell Two score and six years thou hast stood, And served us as well as one could; In our memories, longest, shalt thou linger, For we are the last of your earnest labor. Great men have emerged from within thy walls, And we, the youngest, realize all. Oh! Alma Mater, can we ever repay For such indebtedness, without much delay? Thy laboratories, corridors, and walls shall linger ever Deeply imbedded in our hearts, we will remember; For hearts of steel must we possess To do otherwise than I related, I guess. Goodbye Old Dear, the time, has come When we, our relationship must shun. Westward ! Westward ! is our goal; Something more than they realize they will behold, Our successors, to a more magnificent edifice will go, But the spirit of our Alma Mater will not undergo. Victory, Rejoicement have been won Through the untiring efforts of the “One,” He whom we honor and adore; in return for that which was mentioned before. Realization of our dreams have developed, And our followers with a new environment will be enveloped. To the old building we must bid adieu, And shout “Off with the old and on with the new,” Modern apparatus and labs.—all new, Our successors, hardly visualize what is due, Tn the center of education they will dwell, Who can say that this is not well? Louis Strosrerg, ’27 One Hundred Seventy-seven 3Tobap t£ Sere Live life today as if today were all, As though this very morning you were born. Your yesterdays are days beyond recall; Tomorrow does not come until the morn. Rest not upon the victories you have won; Because you lost, surrender not to fear.

Violet The Cytherean dozed upon the sand; Wind rippled through her hair, as if a crowd Of golden jonquils danced a saraband; A shining cloud Of butterflys, of yellow butterflys, Through airy mazes undulating, spun A screen, a lovely screen to shield her eyes From the bright sun, Until she woke and wandered, dream obsessed, Herself a dream with no true being—yet There blossomed, where one lingering foot had pressed, A violet. —Nathan Botnick, ’27 One Hundred Seventy-eight Botanical jHptfjologp In perusing the study of our official drugs and their sources, it might, be well to consider briefly their place in folklore. Some are attendant upon various super- stitions, while others are of legendary interest. As to Convallaria or Lily-of-the-Valley, there is a legend still current in Sussex, England, Kipling’s county, that the lily-of-the-valley sprung from the blood of St. Leonard, who, although triumphant in a fight with a giant firedrake in St. Leonard’s Forest, was severely wounded and wherever his blood was spilled there the Iilies-of-the-valley grew in profusion. The sentiment attributed to it as a gift to another is “ Unconscious Sweetness.” The Marigold known officially as Calendula owes its name to a title applied in the middle ages, “Mystic-Gold of Mary.” Among the Mexicans it is the death flower. This has been traced to a legend that it sprang from the ground stained by the life-blood of those that fell victims to the love of gold and the cr'uelty of the Spanish pioneers. Trifolium or Red Clover has been adopted by Vermont as its state flower. It is expressive of industry. Among the Indian tribes of Virginia the red clover was once supposed to have sprung from the blood of the red man slain in battle. Podophyllum or Mandrake is told in story as having started where a criminal had once polluted the grounds and so the belief grew that it was commonly found near a gallows. The Sambucus or Elder is expressive of Zeal. There is a belief that still maintains among the Danish people that anyone wandering under an elder-bush on a mid-summer night’s eve around midnight will see the king of fairyland pass by with all his retinue. Inula or Elecampane is supposed to have been originated by the elfs. It is a beautiful plant with bright yellow flowers and is known sometimes as elf-dock. Aspidium or European Fern brings to mind that the Cornish people have traditions connected with the people of elf-land. One of these concerns a young woman who, while resting by the wayside, was listlessly breaking the fronds off a fern. Suddenly she found herself face to face with a fairy widower, seeking some one to care for his little son. He made her the offer, which she ratified by kissing a fern-leaf and repeating the formula: “ For a year and a day, 1 promise to stay.” Soon she became an inhabitant of fairyland and was lost to mortal gaze. Fern leaves arc used to express fascination. In Japan they are a symbol of exuberant prosperity. In the northern lands they are used on Palm Sunday as a substitute for Palm Leaves, thus indirectly conveying the sentiment of victory over death. One Hundred Seventy-nine The Rose or Rosa Gallica has occupied a prominent place in art, literature and music from time immemorial. Its cardinal sentiment expressed is Love. A few attendant attributes are Wisdom, Beauty, Silence, Pas.sion and Martyrdom. The Empire State claims it as its own official flower. The official red rose was the badge of the house of Lancaster which figured prominently in the Wars of the Roses. This was afterwards grafted with the white rose emblem of the house of York, producing a form of damask rose having red petals flecked or striped with white. Harpocrates, the ancient god of silence favored the rose; hence the term “ sub-rosa.” Among the Turks the red color of the rose is attributed to the blood of Mohammed. It was a basket of roses that St. Dorothea sent to the notary of Theophilus from the Garden of J’aradise and roses sprang up all over the field of Ronce-vaux where Roland and his knights had stained the soil with their blood. The Passion flower or Passiflora incarnata is the official flower of Tennessee and is used to express faith when given to another. Sometimes known as Purple Clematis, this flower has two symbolic attributes. First its deep purple color and its five petals, emblematic of Suffering and of the Five wounds. The leaves are spear shaped. Secondly it is expressive of the passion of Christ. In the various parts of this flower may be seen the Ten faithful apostles, the Cross, the crown of thorns, the hammer and nails, the five sacred wounds and the cord that bound Christ to the column.

She’d give to him an icy stare If any fault she could discover. W ith her he never had a chance If he came tipsy to a dance. The youth who loved a girl back then Could not afford to be. a sinner. He must not dice with wicked men If in his heart he hoped to win her. For oft she’d say: “ If you want me. Give up your vicious company. “ If you would have me for your wife Forgo the joy of glasses clinking— No man shall ever share my life Addicted to the curse of drinking.” 'Men gave up many a habit vile, To win some blushing maiden’s smile. I know the men, and this I say: They’ll be just what the women make them.. They’ll walk the straight and narrow way If sweethearts threaten to forsake them. If but the battle-flag they’d wave, The girls could make the boys behave. —Anon. One Hundred Eighty-one 5 lone JBj The Fivovus “ There’s a man I’d love to meet, You’d think he’s never known defeat, That life was easy, full and sweet; But his has never been that kind, For he is lame and benJ and blind And smiles!” Many a time I pass him on the street and yearn to clasp his hand. Perhaps through the contact of our handshake he will impart to me the secret formula by which he lives. If ever a man has cause to he surly and forbidding in manner, it is he. For li fe has stripped him of every choice possession that man can have, but it has left him courageous and undaunted—smiling. Smiling—with nothing, whereas I, who have everything, cannot find happi- ness or content. That man spreads the joy of living, while 1 find nothing but emptiness in my life. I am basking in the sunlight of my realized ambitions but its warmth chills me. I am a success, yet I feel myself a failure. But what am 1 missing that the man possesses? Here he comes now, bright and cheerful as ever. I shall stop him for I must find out wherein he finds content. “ Pardon sir—” I stop, for I do not know what to say. “What is it, my friend?” A smile illumines his features as he answers in a pleasant voice. It loosens my tongue and I plunge into my story. “ I often see you from my house across the way. No matter whether the day is bright or gloomy, it seems to me as if a perpetual smile lives on your face. What is the secret of your content? In truth you have nothing but that which should cause you discontent and bitterness. Your ability to withstand enormous setbacks seems to me superhuman. Compare your condition with mine, your poverty with my riches. 1 possess everything but the thing T want most—happi- ness. What wouldn’t I give to share your happiness. The God of Cheerfulness must have put his power within you. You can't be human, for I feel that it does not lie within human ability to find happiness in such a life as you must lead.” One Hundred Eighty-two Again that radiant smile upon his face. I feel strangely drawn to this man for 1 feel as if he possesses a strength and power that I cannot equal. His voice contains a buoyancy that soothes my feelings and makes me forget his sightless gaze. “ So friend stranger, you think that I am a superbeing because in spite of my lameness and blindness 1 am contented. No, I am but a man—a human being with desires and feelings, hopes and plenty of disappointments. My heart wants the same things, my mind desires the same pleasures that you do. You are rich while I am poor and crippled, and therefore 1 should be unhappy. True, my life has been one long struggle with handicaps always forced upon me. In spite of all this, my code of living has included consideration and kindness toward my fellow-men and a willingness to meet them more than halfway with a hearty hand- clasp and the smile you| see on my face. My confidence in man was great and there were many whom I called ‘ friend.' Then came the accident that crippled me and took my sight. “ My friends did not desert me in my time of need, especially one, who in my long fight for life that followed, was always at my side, helping, encouraging me with never a doubt but that I would win out. He returned unselfishly and freely all that I had ever given to our friendship—loyalty, confidence, and the helping hand. Do you still wonder that I go through life with a smile? That man is truly happy who has found the beauty of life. My friend has justified my unfailing faith in him. We are two bodies with but one soul. T may be poor but, stranger, my heart is singing and my soul is glad. I am content and I smile.” The blind man goes his way leaving me with whirling thoughts. My entire past unfolds itself panoramically before me, as if to mock me. Swiftly did I travel the highway of life hurdling each obstacle that loomed up before me. There were others on that road but what did that matter to me. I asked no mercy and gave none. That man who did not serve my ends I ignored or pushed aside. No word of good cheer or encouragement did I exchange during that glorious climb. “ Each man for himself ” was my slogan. Now I stand on the pinnacle, possessor of everything that I wanted including the fear of the people around me, the fear but not the respect or love of any man. I look around me seeking the smiles of friendship, but T find the smiles of greed. They fawn before me because my body is gilded and my pockets bulging. Strip me of my treasures and I will become a broken idol to be cast by them One Hundred Eighty-three into the heap of has-beens. Not one of my friends values me for the man; not what 1 am but what 1 have is the deciding factor. Look at the many people around me, yet I am alone, for there is no one whom 1 can truly call my pal. Fool that I have been, thinking myself a victor, the monarch of my world, a proud conqueror over everything, yes everything—material. But my dream world which is the blood and energy of my life, what does it consist of? Of selfish aims and goals which T have reached but which have left me unhappy— a victor—a defeated victor. Yes, I am unhappy because 1 am alone—friendless! What is there left for me in life? Misery—emptiness. I can’t stand this state of melancholy that I am in. 1 who lgve laughed so many times in the face of death, 1 whose courage and grit have surmounted many an obstacle—shall I stay defeated? No, there is a way out and 1 will take it. “If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch and toss, and lose, and start again at the beginning, and never breathe a word about your loss—you’ll be a man.” My courage shall stand me in good stead. It isn’t what 1 have but how T will live, it isn’t what 1 did, hut what I will do that will make this life worth going through it. I will start again and this time win. “ Let me live in a house by the side of the road, By the side of the highway of life. Where men press by with the ardor of hope And men who are faint with, strife, But I’ll turn not away from their smiles nor their tears, Both, parts of an infinite plan. Let me live in my house by the side of the road, And be a friend to man.” One Hundred Eighty-jour Almost Httameb It is not a tragedy to fail, nor yet To lack far reaching dreams that chafe and fret The soul with fevered longing to attain Dull, stolid apathy is never pain. But, when your hope seems realized, to fall; To reach the path’s rough end, and find a wall; To strive, to strain, with bitter years the cost And almost win—then find that you have lost. To reach out for a star and grasp the air; To climb, but fail to gain the utmost stair; Though loving song, through fear remaining mute; To have your fingers bungle with the lute. Ah, I have seen unfinished dreams in eyes Of men grown old with longing; heard the sighs Of those whose harps just lacked a single string One note gone from the voice—they would not sing. If you put a little lovin’ into all the work you do, And a little bit of gladness and little bit of YOU, A little bit of sweetness and a little bit of song, And a day will not seem too toilsome, not a moment seem too long, And your work will be attractive, all the world will stop to look, Everyone will see a sweetness, like the tinklin’ of a brook. After awhile will come the twilight, but the night will not be dark For, the “Little bit of lovin’ ’’ brings the light as you embark, And the friends you leave behind you, as in death’s long sleep you lie, Will remember all your sweetness and “A little lovin’ ” try. —Nathan Botnick, ’27 —Anon.

We face the opening of a new era which should prove the most progressive since the establishment of the college. Tt is with a sense of pride that we can look back on the progress of the athletic department of the Albany College of Pharmacy during its growth. Previous to 1921 there was no activity connected directly with the college to which the students could turn for diversion from the daily stress of school work. That year saw' a class of students enter the college which was alive tto the need of physical and mental relaxation as a necessity towards the production of better work. The first act of this group of students, with the aid of the Dean and the faculty, was to carry out the suggestion that a meeting of the Junior and Senior classes be held, so that the members could become better acquainted and so func- tion as a unit and not as individuals. The result of this meeting was the estab- lishment of the Annual Inter-Class Field Meet. That this has proven a success is clearly shown by the number who tobk part in the various events. Later that year Bowling and Basketball were established, but in a manner that was far from being a credit to the college. The basketball team was com- posed of a group of students having no coaching and playing only when the oppor- tunity presented itself. Bowling, at that time, benefited only those students who were natural and skilled bowlers. The next year found both the bowling and basketball teams placed on a systematic basis. Inter-class basketball games were held and the better players of the Junior and Senior teams were selected to represent the college. A regular bowling league was established in which four teams took part. From this time on there has been a continual increase in the interest taken by the student body. The teams have consistently developed, bringing the school the notice in athletic circles which was heretofore lacking. Our latest sport is swimming which was introduced in 1925. and with the continuance of the spirit as already shown, should produce teams worthy of notice in the swimming world. All these developments have had their affect towards producing that school spirit which makes college life worth while. The teams are now on a firm footing, school spirit is not lacking and will increase with the beginning of every school year, and with the addition of a track team and possibly other major sports with the opening of our new home—the work will go on in a bigger and better way and will eventually build for A. C... P. the best athletic teams ever produced in any college of pharmacy! Gaspar T. Chiara, ’27 One Hundred Eighty-nine ♦ basketball For the second year in the history of the sports of the Albany College of Pharmacy, we can look back with pride upon the year’s performances of our team. Pride—because here was a team which fulfilled the hope of every Senior student and of our coach for a combination which would equal the record of last year's team, the best ever produced in the college, and the hope of every Junior student for a team which would have a nucleus of good material for next year’s team. With only two men lost by graduation. Coach McLaughlin began his annual task of weeding out the players immediately after the college year began. There was ample material at hand, and aided by his conscientious coaching, the skillful management of Jack Shipe. and the energetic leadership of Captain Eccles, a team was produced which, for the second consecutive year, set a standard for future teams to aim at. '1'he personnel of the team was as follows: A. A. McLaughlin Coach William PI. Eccles Morris Finkelstein Arthur J. TCaxtz Paul Sahagian William H. Eccles Cap I a in Iymax R. Schwartz Gaspar T. Chiara Abraham Silverman John A. Shipe Manager Charles Serling Vincent Coniglio Francis X. Evans Earl B. Seguine One Hundred Ninety-one “ Bill ” Eccles certainly fulfilled the confi- dence the team showed in him when they elected him captain. He was fast, a thorough fighter and consistent throughout the year. “ Fink ” Finkelstein was a good all-around player and the possessor of an uncanny way of following the ball and shifting his play; all of which placed him at the top of the scoring list. “ Artie ” Kantz “ knew basketball ” and could play it. This quality combined with an eagle eye placed him near the top of high scorers. � � Paul Sahagian was fast, gritty and aggres- sive which is a combination hard to beat, as he so convincingly showed at every opportunity. “ Rube ” Schwartz was a consistently hard player who could be depended upon to give his best and showed his worth on more than one occasion. “ Chick ” Chiara was a guard who could be depended upon to hold his man scoreless and was always instilling the A.C.P. fighting spirit in his able team- mates. “Al ” Silverman was shifty and clever, his chief attribute being an exasper- ating way of outwitting his opponent. He will, no doubt, continue to be a main- stay of the team next year. “ Charlie ” Serling, the fighting guard from Syracuse, was fast, clever and the possessor of a good eye for field shooting. His playing was consistent and he can very aptly be called “ one of our best bets.” In addition to these were: Evans, utility center, who should prove one of next year’s best players; Seguine, a clever forward, who will, no doubt, capably fill one of the places left vacant by the gradua- tion of Eccles and Kantz: and Coniglio, a hard- lighting guard. With Serling, Silverman, Evans, Seguine and Coniglio returning for another year, Coach McLaughlin will have an excellent nucleus around which he can ably build a team—one that will continue and even exceed the excellent work of the teams produced in the past two years. And so, after only a short period of train- ing, the team met Manhattan College from New York. After trying vainly to overcome the handicap of lack of sufficient practice and expe- wm. ii. eccles, Captain john a. shipe, Manager One Hundred Ninety-two rience in playing together, our team succumbed to the well-directed attack of the Manhattan Five by the score of 33 to 27. This defeat seemed to have incensed the fighting spirit of our boys, and in the next game Eastman Business College from Rochester fell under the con- tinual battering of the Pharmacy Team's attack; our first victory to the tune of 54 to 26. Lulled into false security and overconfidence by this victory, we met St. Stephens College with the result that a score of 30 to 22 was registered before our boys realized that the game was being lost. This seemed to have pul. courage and determination into the soul of every player, and they entered the game with Osweg� Normal School full of the spirit to win. The result was our second victory at 35 to 16. At this point came the annual trip of the team to outside territories. Jour- neying to Rochester, they met the Mechanics Institute and the result was the most bitterly fought game of the season. With the Mechanics leading all through the game, the Pharmacy Five rallied in the last few minutes of play to snatch the lead and bring home a victory by the short margin of 25 to 24. This game seemed to have sapped the strength and fight of the team. It was a bruised and tired team that entrained for Cortland, there to meet the Cortland Normal School. They entered the court at Cortland and vainly tried to show spurts of fight. The result was another loss, 31 to 15. The homecoming of the team was an event worthy of any ancient conquer- ing hero. For the first time, since the establishment of the sport, our team had won a game on a foreign court. The results of the game at Rochester were still in evidence when the team met the Springfield College Juniors in their first home game after the eventful trip. The team lacked the necessary stamina so that another defeat was suf- fered by the score of 24 to 17. After a much needed rest and a good deal of practice, the team finally rounded into condition to resume activities. St. Michaels College of Winooski, Vt., fell victims, in the closing period of play, to the dazzling pass-work and deadly shooting of the Pharmacy team and another victory was recorded to the tune of 39 to 35. All eyes turned with eagerness to our next game. The team practiced as it never had before, the students waxed more and more enthusiastic. The stage was all set for the first game our team had ever played with another Pharmacy College. As Fate would have it, it turned out to be a farce instead of a tragedy, when our boys romped home with a victory by the overwhelming score of 49 to 16, after an excellent display of real basketball. One Hundred Ninety-three This was the final spurt of the team and in spite of all the fight they put into the final game with Cortland Normal School again, they were defeated by the score of 35 to 30. And so ended another successful year of basketball for A. C. P. At Albany.......... At Albany ....... At Albany ....... At Albany ....... At Rochester At Cortland...... At Albany .......

There are no such handi- caps as lack of or excessive weight, or as shortness or tallness. Everyone is on a par and has an equal chance to show his worth or develop it. Bowling is perhaps the best sport for keeping the body in condition and the mind clear. It requires no excessive exercise which may cause fatigue, but develops a strong arm, a steady nerve, a supple body and perfect coordination of the mind and muscle. In addition to its physical developments, it produces among the students and the faculty alike, that spirit of “good-fellowship ” which is so evident in the environment of our college life. Early in November, Prof. O’Brien, faculty advisor, and Winston Chester- field, manager, planned a very practical and systematic program which resulted in the most successful)’ operated season enjoyed since the inaugural of the sport. Four teams were organized, namely the Senior, Junior, Fraternity and Faculty teams. The season had not progressed very far when it was evident that the struggle for the league supremacy lay between the Junior and Senior teams. The Faculty and Fraternity teams had their little tete-a-tete fighting for pos- session of third place, and a close one it was. In addition to the regular bowling league within the college, a team was made up of the best players among the student teams and several games were arranged with local teams. Since this primary step has been taken, it is hoped that in the very near future a varsity team will he formed.

Lee Huyck One Hundred Ninety-eight i£ totmmtng PROF. B. G. DEWELL, JR. Director FRANK RUSSO Monager Swimming is the third major sport in the college, and although the newest, shows signs of developing into the most popular one. To learn the reason, one need only journey to Public Bath number 3 on any Wednesday evening and take notice of the extreme pleasure the boys enjoy in splashing around in the pool. From the beginners, who spend the evening developing the proper “ kick ” and “ arm-stroke,:” to the more experienced swimmers, who dash here and there like minnows, one can notice the spirit gradually developing, which will eventually spell a great team and perfect team-work. Who has not swam for a time and taken particular notice of the pulling stresses on the muscles of the back, neck, arms, legs and lungs? That is the reason for the claim that swimming is the best bodybuilder. It develops every muscle in the body. Activities began rather slowly, but under the energetic leadership of Manager Frank Russo, and Faculty Advisor Dewell, the Juniors finally began to take an active interest. Gradually, the little group that met each Wednesday night at the pool, grew to a group that now numbers well up in the twenties. The beginners were given the necessary advice and instructions and the more experienced swim- mers held practice meets, thus weeding out the best talent for the respective class teams. No Weismullers have been produced as yet, but time will tell. If spirit Two Hundred made swimmers, then every one of the men on the teams would be a record- breaker. All these practice meets and preliminary training served to whet the enthu- siasm of the swimmers to a point where it must give way. Everyone was eager and rarin’ to go at the opportune moment. Thus was ushered in the Annual Inter-Class Swimming Meet. Prizes were awarded the winners and letters to those who showed their worth throughout the season. No meets with outside teams have been held as yet, but with the talent and spirit growing as has been shown. the time is not far distant when A.C.P. swimming teams will be splashing and spattering water into the faces of their pursuers.

In addi- tion, competitive sports and friendly rivalry tend to develop those qualities which are necessary to any successful business men, the biggest of which is “ fair play ” toward an opponent. Only “ fair play ” will produce a sense of fairness and our days spent in the weekly “Y” classes certainly succeeded in giving all of us this “ fair play.” Activities began immediately at the opening of the year under the leadership of Assistant Physical Director Milton C. Howard. In addition to the weekly calisthenics, Director Howard arranged a scries of competitive sports in which keen rivalry occurred in the leadership of these sports. Among the events were bar-chinning, bar-dips, floor-dips, 50-vard dash, high jump, broad jump, etc. mjltom e. Howard.

Glee Club in Action LOST OPPORTUNITY On the 23rd of September that ne’er to be forgotten night Public attention was focused on the Dempsey-Tunney fight The money was all on Dempsey at odds of ten to one, Tunney’s demise was expected before another sun. But fools rush in where angels fear to tread And though Max was nobody’s fool ’tis said Still he said he was for Tunney and open for bets But money parting time found him with regrets. He weighed the pros and cons with the shrewdness of his race The odds he demanded could not be found any place And since 12 to 5 was the best he could get The hour of the fight found Max without a bet. The first round started with Max in trepidation When it proved to be Gene’s it caused him perspiration Max had his Gehenna in the next nine rounds When a new champ was declared his suffering knew no bounds. “ Nothing ventured, nothing won ” we can understand But Max’s favorite motto is “A bird in the hand ”— The morning after found Max with face white and drawn His chance to win some money had come and—gone.

And I have lots of references From the big men in our town. “ There’s Parson Janes, Professor Brown, And the banker, John McGrew, They’ve spoken well of me before, I’m sure they will to you.” But the angels called their credit man, A fellow named St. Pete. And in a very knowing way He said to this deadbeat: “ Your references are very fine, Your story listens well; But we must go by records here. So you must go to hell.” A BACHELOR’S DREAM If no one ever marries me— And they don’t seem very keen, For I can’t pretend I’m handsome, And my purse is rather learn— If no one ever marries me, I’ll get along all right— I’ll play at golf the whole day through, And at bridge the livelong night. I shall have a little sailing yacht, And a motor all my own, And I shan’t be plagued with chil- dren’s bills, For things that they’ve outgrown. And when I’m sick of everything, And dull as dull can be, I’ll think how glad I've made some girl Who didn’t marry me.

A placid, well- dressed woman had alighted from the passenger train and was passing close to one of the freight brakemen when he yelled to his buddy, “Jump on her when she comes by, Rill, run her down by the elevator and cut her in two and bring her head up by the depot.” The lady picked up her skirts and ran for the station yelling murder at every7 jump. Soldiers live on hash and beans, Sailors live on ships, Workers live on what they earn, Waiters live on tips. Old men live on borrowed time, Old maids live on tea, Then there are my relatives — They all live on me. The law the lawyers know about Is property and land; Rut why the leaves are on the trees, And why the waves disturb the seas, Why honey is the food of bees. Why horses have such tender knees, Why Winters come when rivers freeze. Why Faith is more than what one sees, And Hope survives the worst disease, And Charity is more than these, They do not understand.

Two Hundred Twenty THE OLD PILL She took a pill with breakfast; She quaffed a pill for lunch; And just before she went to bed She swallowed quite a bunch. She knew a pill for every ache— Five grains for every twinge; Each time she felt a chill cotne on, A capsule would impinge. She took a pill while sewing, Whene’er she took a tuck; Tnvited out for auction bridge, She took a pill for luck! She led a perfect pellet life, Alas, she is no more! St. Peter is her druggist now Upon the other shore. MY DARLING IS LIKE GINGER ALE My darling is like ginger ale, So dry and pale— Yet gayly youthful, adolescent, Bubbling over, effervescent; Sparkling spirit ever present, Fragrance of the dale. My darling is like ginger ale, Hidden in a tinseled veil Spun of bubbles, opalescent, Dancing forth and evanescent; Memory of the moon a-crescent, So dry and pale. Two Hundred Twenty-one ALBANY’S RESTAURANT EGGS Omelets and one-eyed eggs; Eggs with feathers, eyes and legs; Eggs as tough as Brooklyn yeggs; Defeat 'em. Married eggs and eggs unwed; Eggs whose mothers long are dead; Colombo stood one on its head; Delete ’em. Some are round and. some are long; Some are weak and some are strong; T’m satisfied, they're all quite wrong; Deplete ’em. Smiling eggs and eggs irate; Eggs of spirit—eggs sedate; Eggs that just won’t sit up straight; Secrete ’em. Eggs incarnate, eggs supreme; Eggs as thin as dairy cream; Eggs—1 see in every dream— We eat ’em. HOW TO MAKE A SPEECH We gleaned this helpful formula from our course in Pharmaceutical English: Three long breaths. Compliment the audience. Outline what you are not going to talk about. Points that you will touch on later. Two familiar quotations. Outline of what you are going to say. Points that you will not have time to touch on now. Reference to what you said first. Funny story. Compliment the audience. Ditto to city, state and country. Applause. Two Hundred Twenty-two An experimenting student once Cooked up a pretty stew Of cyanide and dynamite And HgCl.,. The explosion sent the roof up high And the student went below; Yes, verily, unto the place Where all good students go. Then the devil rubbed his hands with glee And said, “My friend, come, enter! Before you leave, you’ll know for sure That I’m quite a good tormentor.” So he called his imps together And said, “Get busy, guys! And we’ll treat this nice new student To one great grand surprise.” So he sent the imps to his chem. lab. To boil up an awful mess; To saturate the atmosphere With phosphine and IBS. Two Hundred Twenly-Ihree But the student only shrugged and said, “ By George, this is a treat! When up above, I never thought That hell could smell so sweet.” Then they threw him in a retort Filled with liquified bromine; But ihe student only grinned and said, “ This is the nicest place I’ve seen.” He was baked in a roaring furnace And sprayed with liquid fire; But he said with a sigh. “ Now this is no lie, These ovens I sure do admire.” He made the devil angry, For it maddened him for fair That one should take his treatments so Without the turning of a hair. Then they pounded him with pestles And they pressed him in a vise; And while hot fires burned around him He remained as cool as ice. Then the devil just surrendered And said, “ Tell me. T implore. Hew is it you take our torture so And then go and beg for more ? ” The student neeled with laughter And responded in his mirth, “I worked in the College of Pharmacy labs. When 1 roamed the mortal earth.” Two Hundred Twenty-four A DAY IN CLASS Professor—“ What is an anodyne ? ” Student—Something to produce coma. Prof.—Why not store Hydrogen Peroxide in a warm place?

A MOUSE-EYE VIEW OF TWO COLLEGI AXES Two Hundred Twenty-nine 9m ACT 1 At this interval, the curtain is furiously yanked back, disclosing her brother and the hero, Willy, who are drawing cartoons on their slates. Willy: What a whale of a difference a few cents make! Her Brother: In a loaf of bread? Willy: No fool! In my toy bank. ACT II Whereupon, the curtain is removed front'the front of the stage in order that the audience may feast its eyes on that which is behind it. Also, the audience is here informed by the stage manager that it refrain from loud whistling, throwing of pharmaoccpias and stamping, as it is quite annoying to those watching the progress of the play. !Ier brother and the hero are in the middle of a pinochle game and are at the same time throwing bombs and fire-crackers into the open windows of the college building. Her Brother: Where is the Stacomb? Willy: Do you need the Shellac? Her Brother: I said Stacomb. ACT III During the intermission, the collection is taken up, paint, varnish and tooth- brushes are sold, and the orchestra renders “Consolation in four flats.” The third act and scene, as the case may be, is located on the summit of Alt. Everest. Snow is on the ground, and so is the multitude, who shiver and cry: “ Why doesn’t the price of Caffeine go down?” The hero appears with a shovel and remoi’es all traces of snow. Willy : My eight hours are up! Multitude: They are just as high as they can get. Willy : Well, then I am through for the day. CURTAIN This should be followed by much applause. If it is not, the play is to be shown again the second night. Two Hundred Thirty-one « SOME SENTIMENTAL SHORT STORY! Simon Stoddard, slim, simple stu- dent, stood stock-still staring sullenly —suddenly saw Sadie Simpkings, “ sweet sixteen,” stepping sturdily. Sam Sloane, sly sport, sat survey- ing surroundings sadly saw sublime Sadie sauntering slowly. Sam seek- ing Sadie saw Sadie seated silently, so Sam swaggered softly Sadie-ward. Sadie screamed — slapped Sam. Soon Sam sampled Simon’s strength. Sam, Simon struggled; Sadie shouted, “ Strike Sam.” Soon Sam sped swiftly somewhere. Summer’s sun sank slowiv. Stars shone shimmeringly. Sadie, Simon sat strangely somewhat surprising. Sadie simply said, “ So sudden! ” Soon Sadie shared Simon’s savings. So stops Simon’s sentimental story. GRATITUDE “ Lottie,” said the professor softly, “ Lottie, come into my study.” It was now thirty years that Lottie had kept house for the professor. She had cooked his meals, brought them to his study, and fed them to him. She had put him to bed every night without any protest and examined him every time he went out to see that he was conventionally clothed. Thanks to her untiring help, the professor had rarely forgotten himself. Never had he put the cat to bed and kicked himself downstairs. On one occasion, it is true, he had lost his self-control and kissed her in the hallway, but he did it so absent-mindedly and inoffensively that Lottie had forgiven it long ago. And the professor, of course, had forgotten. And today he had called her into his study. “ Lottie,” he said, and his voice trembled. “ Dear, dear Lottie! You have always been true and faithful to me. The time has come for your reward, and the professor never forgets.” He took her hand in his. She brushed the iron gray locks away from her motherly forehead and looked at him hopefully, tenderly. He led her to his writing desk. “ See, I have named this new species of parasitic vermin after you.” Two Hundred Thirty-three EXPERIENCE TEACHES Walt's former experience in washing his own clothes has aided him materially in pharmacy lab washing bottles, etc. Here we find Walt doing the clothes back home in Boonville. TTe is trying to prove that soap and water is a natural emulsion. TTTE PRIZE WINNER At a rec'Tt Masquerade Ball, it was decided to give the prize for the booby costume to Miss Max Rubin. Here she is shown in her famous prize winning cloak. She has received many offers from prominent movie men, but thus far has refused to divulge any secrets. MAKING GOOD USE OF A VACATION PERIOD During the last summer vacation, we found Pro- fessor Root around the wilds of Oxford, N. Y., in search of fresh specimens of equisitums. To cut down expenses, he walked the railroad tracks and flirted with the passing engines. Here we have him resting after walking several miles. This has led to his invention of a new corn plaster for tired botan- ists. Two Hundred Thirty-jive WHY BE BALD? So many people have asked me for a remedy for baldness that I have con- sented to give my own much treasured prescription. Although I have been bald for the last fifteen years I fee! confident if 1 had had the opportunity that T am about to give you, free of charge, I should have been able to avoid this most dreaded of epidemics or what you will. Of course in view of the fact that you were born without a single hair on your head I think that you have a nervt asking for a way to grow fur on the sacred billiard ball. If you have but a feu hairs left on your anti-bellum, or whatever they call it, be sure to part them so that one falls on one side, one on the otfltr and so on and so forth for months and months. My famous hair restorer is as follows: two ounces of pepto-pepto, one ounce of java-java, a half ounce of oil of banana (not banana oil), a dash of juniper juice, and no alcohol. Put this entire mixture in a dccanetr or better yet a decanter, add some ice, shake well and serve while still boiling. This recipe will not only grow hair on your head but also on your teeth. After the ingredients are well mixed put the fingers in the liquid and then apply to the head, being certain to massage well causing the blood to come to the surface; however do not be too violent as it is liable to cause concussion of the brain, rupture of the spinal cord, or a most powerful case of painter’s colic, in five or six years, providing this operation has been repeated daily, you will notice a thin layer of hair on the moth ball or pimple, (We call it pimple as it hasn’t come to a head yet). When you arrive at this state there is hope. In fact after twenty years of constant treatment you will either have a head of hair or be completely bald. My second way to avoid being bald is to suggest that you wear a toupee. In the words of that famous hair restorer, John Q. Herpicide, allow me to say. “ To pay or not Toupee, that is the question. Why a certain student of pharmacy took only one plunge at the “ Y ” Pie stepped into the pool, surrendering himself to the water’s voluptuous familiarity. Rut the sensuousness of its embrace repelled him with its implication of luxurious security; seemed an alien and perfidious presence in whose contact there was something improper. Tu'o Hundred Thirty-six tm SOME ADS “The Gold-Dust Twins”—Rubin and Kaller. “ Four out of Five have it ”—Red ink on the report card. “ 57 varieties ”—Our co-eds. “ Chases Dirt ”—Prof. Smith. “ Keep that school girl complexion ”—“ Fat ’’ Needham. “Body by Fisher”—Mutt and Jeff.

Once 1 had money to burn, and that was the trouble, sir. I burned it. Stude: You burned it! Plow? Give a fool enough rope and he will either hang himself or smoke it. Tramp: With an old flame of mine at college, sir. Two Hundred Thirty-seven acknotolebgment Believe it or not, but there is a bit of sentiment connected with our college careers. It is with heavy hearts that the Pharmakon Board leave their Alma Mater and their many friends—but that’s life. However, they feel that if the foregoing pages have given each of their colleagues and the members of the faculty at least a laugh, then this book has been a success. The 1927 Alembic Pharmakon would not be complete without expressing our sincere thanks to the following, who helped make this volume a success: Professor William A. Larkin—Our Faculty Advisor Dean William Mansfield—Our Inspiration The Faculty—Our Tutors The Student Body—For their cooperation The Brandow Printing Co.—Our Printers The Empire Engraving Co.—Our Engravers The Obenaus Studio—Our Photographers Our Advertisers—Our Supporters As a last mill and testament, the gray beards pass on to the youngsters: 1. One typewriter (eight keys broken). 2. Ten sheets of stationery (unfit for use). 3. Five envelopes (without mucilage). 4. An empty paste jar. 5. Lots of advice. 6. Faculty supervision. 7. One telephone (out of service). 8. A fast decaying office. 9. And last, but not least, a good sense of humor. The Board is dead, long live the Board!
