President SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Classi pistorp 1928 It was with a degree of anticipation and thoughts of a joyous and happy year ahead, that the class of 1928 returned to Albany to resume their studies, after the summer vacation. The beginning of this term marks a new era in the life and history of the Albany College of Pharmacy. The realization of a foreseeing dream. The cu I - ruination of years of untiring effort, by the men who have worked incessantly for the advancement, and development of Pharmacy. From its humble origin of a few rooms in the old medical college, our school has developed, sometimes perhaps under very adverse conditions, until we now have one of the most modern and best facilitated institutions of its kind in the country, with its wonderfully equipped laboratories, lecture and recitation rooms. With this environment of science, of development, and progress is it any wonder that we were glad to be hack, glad to see. our professors, and happy to renew old acquaintances? We, of course, hold happy memories in our hearts of the days spent at the old college. It was there that we gained friendships that have lasted through out our years in Albany, and which we hope will last for many years to come. “ Gainelh new friends, but keepeth old. One is Silver the other Gold.” But since we are the class that is beginning life over, as it were, with the college, we must consider ourselves a part of this new era. We must pride ourselves on enjoying the benefits of this mighty institution. Let us therefore review the many events we have enjoyed during the past year. The spirit of progress has, it seems, injected itself into the activities of the school both socially and athletically. What a vast difference has manifested itself over former years. College life is now enjoyed by every student. There is such a wide variety of activities that each and every student is able to find one to his liking. No one need sit on the sidelines. If one likes athletics there is the basket- ball team, swimming or track. I f one enjoys a milder sport there is the debating society or rifle team. For the girls we have the dramatic society or girls chorus. Everything possible has been done to make each and every student’s sojourn in Albany one to be associated with the happiest moments of life. Every class must have class officers, so one of the first events on our program was the class election, and this indeed was an event to be remembered. It proved to be a battle royal with plenty of opposition from each political faction. The first rousing cheer brought John Koziol to the foreground as president. C. Stewart Wallace and Michael Adclbcrg were chosen to share honors with him as First and Second Vice-Presidents. Miss Dorothy McGovern was elected to do the secretarial work. Abe Silverman was placed in charge of the Year Book as Editor. For its business manager Morris Edelschick was chosen. Twenty-seven With the competent leadership ability of these officers, we were provided with a most successful school term, both in social activity and academic standing. Throughout the year our college and Fraternity dances, some formal, some informal, have been affairs compromising all the joys of gayety, splendor and romance. The best of orchestras, the most elaborate of settings, and atmosphere. Each one a wonderful time. Our college orchestra, an organization .long in existence at A.C.P., has proved that it is both a necessity and a luxury. We have greatly enjoyed their excellent music at the basketball games and dances. The Glee club, another musical organization of our students, has had a very successful year. The members themselves have spent many pleasant evenings together, and have provided harmonious entertainment for others at their con- certs. The newest addition to our already lengthy list of activities was in the form of a dramatic club. This was greeted with wholehearted support from the entire student body. So successful was it that it has gained a permanent place among our organization. During the year three plays were presented to the public. At the conclusion of each presentation sincere congratulations were offered the cast, each member of which performed like a professional. Introduced about the same time as the dramatic club was the debating society which soon gained great favor among the students. Each week discussions were held on topics of national and local importance. From time to time the discus- sion took the form of a debate, many interesting arguments being heard from the pros and cons. We must not forget to mention the crowning event of the year. The greatest step forward the student body has ever taken namely the publication of the “ Mortak and Pestle,” a bi-weekly organ dealing with life studies, studies, humor and sports at A.C.P. This publication has met with tremendous success and much credit is due its sponsors. During 1928 our various athletes have done much to place the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy foremost among the colleges of its class. On the court our basketball team has kept our colors flying high. In the tank and on the cinder path our athletes have met and defeated the best of them. Now we find ourselves at the commencement. Commencement, symbolical of work already done, and work yet to be done. Soon we will have to leave the hall of old A.C.P. Leave our friends tried and true. Our professors who have guided us with friendship and patience and made us more able and qualified to meet the many obstacles of life. But we leave with all their pleasant memories entwining around our heartstrings to be recalled in future years as the happiest days of our life. Francis X.

H.Wright, Historian FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS jfrestyman Class JMstorp It was only a few months ago that a very surly bunch of young men and women, fresh from the home town, farm or city high school, entered the portals of what is now known as the New College of Pharmacy. It was not a new college in spirit, but only in structure and position. We were not aware of the comforts and pleasures afforded us by the new building for we had not seen the old school. Some of the freshmen, as we were to be called for the first time in the History of the College, were rather meek upon entering, but they were soon over this when the spirit of the School had been caught by them. Our first lecture came on September 26th when Dean Mansfield sjade his welcoming speech and our first lecture of college life. To this there were some exceptions as a few' in our Class had been elsewhere to school. The following weeks held work, worry and concentration, we had very little entertainment and as usual the process of getting accustomed to Albany and its surroundings was a bit hard. We saw very little of our upper classmen and con- sequently, the process of becoming acquainted was slow. On the Thirteenth day of October our Class came together for the first official meeting, principally for the purpose of electing officers. The usual hap- pened, it again wag a very temperamental, unruly and morose gathering, the results of which were real astounding. “Art.” Mosher, our six-foot boy from Elmira was the lucky winner in the Grand Prize—being chosen for President by a great majority. To follow him or succeed him in absence or dire need was —“Bobby” Thyne—First Vice-President, and “Jimmie” Chilson, Second Vice- President, who also may be called the best looking boy in the Class! Miss Florence Stronski was chosen Secretary after a hard fight with another feminine member of the class. Next came the balloting for the keeper of the Gold and Jack Hurlihey was given the job of handling, counting and stacking the money and although he does not have much to do he does it well. Our little boy in short pants from Schenectady, Gilbert Lange, was handed the position of sponsor of the scandal sheet or Reporter. The history of the class rested upon the shoulders of Herb Wright. The members of the Executive Committee appointed from the Freshman Class wrere Max Brunschweiger and Isreal Levine with Professor F. J. O’Brien as Faculty Advisor. A little later the members of the Class voted to get Frosh Caps. The duty of the Seniors were to make the Frosh wear their “Lids”—Not so when the caps came—the novelty had worn off and the caps were put away as remembrances; let’s hope that the following class will be made to wear them and also have a real lid with a shade of green and a scarlet red button for the top! It is these customs and traditions that make a school an enjoyable place to go to. The Sorority and Fraternity initiations put a little of the monotony Eighty-three out of the way for a couple of weeks and those that, did make these organizations were laughed at and booed, but the boo and laugh were soon changed and as the saying goes—“He who laughs last, etc.’’ The Senior Ball was held in the School Auditorium just before the Christmas Holidays. It was a very sociable dance where everyone that attended surely had a good time, but none could ever compare with the h'rosh 1 lop on February Eleventh. The Auditorium was fitted and decorated into readiness by the diligent work of many. The orchestra, decorations and refreshments were superb, they have surpassed all at any time before. The Hop lasted until the wee hours of the morning and those who were present went home with an air of self-satisfaction which was carried for many days after. We wish to take this time to thank our Advisor, Professor O’Brien, for fus helpful suggestions, watchfulness, and worthy assistance in arranging our dance. The Freshman Class has taken a very active part in the School activities such as. the Debating Society, Dramatic Society, Glee Club, Orchestra, Basket- ball, Swimming, Rifle Club, Tennis and Bowling Teams. It is with those who have taken part in these activities that we hope to carry the Banner of A.C.P. higher next year. Herbert Wright, Historian Eighty-four Andrew M. Adams, K'k Potsdam, N. Y.

CLASS OP 1928 CLASS OF 1930 S. Presidentix 0'0 1st Vice-Pres. 6 - v nd Vice-P es - ft Secretary Treasurer jLL, Ninety-eight Jligtorp anb ©ebelopment of tfje Ibanp College of J9l)annacp The idea of organizing a College of Pharmacy originated with Mr. Arcnibald 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 committee was appointed to prepare a plan for 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 P oard 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. Ninety-nine Owing to the death of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher in August, 1883, Dr. Alfred B. Huseted was appointed Professor of Botany and Materia Medica and Dr. 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. Dillinbeck was appointed associate professor of the department. After this date there were numerous changes in the faculty. Of special interest, however, was the appointment of Edwin C. Hutman in 1903 as Director of the Pharmaceutical Laboratory and his later appointment in 1918 as Professor of the Theory and Practice of Pharmacy, also the 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 chemistry, the practice of chemical analysis in its varied branches, and the advancement of professional education to which he contributed in no small way. He was one of the founders of the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1881; Professor of Chemistry in the same, 1881-1918; Trustee from 1898; Dean of the Faculty, 1883-1918; and Honorary Dean from 1918. Dr. Tucker graduated from the Albany Medical College in 1870 but never practiced the profession, becoming a lecturer on Materia Medica immediately, later an Assistant Professor of that subject and Chemistry, and for many years Dean. His connection with the Albany Medical College extended over a period of nearly half a century. During various years he was Professor of Chemistry in the Albany Acad- emy, Albany Female Academy, St. Agnes School and the Albany High School. He was Analyst of the New York State Board of Health. 1881-1891; Director of its Laboratory, 1891-1901; and Director of the Bureau of Chemistry of the same, 1901-1907. At various periods Dr. Tucker was a member of numerous organizations such as New York 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 The foregoing brief summary shows that Dr. Tucker was a man of cap- ability and worth. Those who knew him well and were associated with him knew him to be a man of wonderful and brilliant intellect, kind judgment, good understanding and probity. These traits of character have always created an admiration which was well deserved. The college is proud to record in its annals the work of Professor Michaelis of the Pharmacy Department; in 1885 he perfected and made possible the com- mercial process for the manufacture of chloroform from chlorinated lime and acetone, the latter having been found to be the richest chloroform-yielding sub- stance. This method has since been much used, but before that time chloroform had been prepared by methods which were so costly as to restrict its use. The rnehtod devised by Professor Michaelis brought chloroform for anesthesia within the reach of every hospital, inasmuch as the cost of manufacture was greatly reduced owing to the fact that acetone, obtained as a by-product in the preparation of wood alcohol, had before this time been of little practical value. Growth of the College under its Presidents Mr. Joseph W. Russell was elected president in 1881 and served until 1899. In 1890 the first Pharmacy Laboratory course opened in a loft on Reaver 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 Iluesen Charles building on Broadway. A reading room was provided for day students and a Pharmacognosy Laboratory was in use for the first time. In 1895 a two hour course in Practical Microscopy was given for the first time by Dr. MacFarlane to the Senior Class during a period of ten weeks. Half hour recitation periods became compulsory at this time. William J. Walker, senior partner in the firm of Walker and Gibson, whole- sale druggists, was elected president of the Board of Trustees in 1899, he served until 1904. He died May 10, 1904. In 1899 the Pharmacy Laboratory was moved to the top floor of the building on the corner of Maiden Lane and North Pearl Street. In 1902 Physics and Pharmaceutical Mathematics were added to the course. In 1903 the Faculty conducted recitations for candidates preparing for the State Board Examinations. Mr. Charles Newman was elected president in 1904 and he served until 1916. In 1904 a State Law was enacted requiring all candidates for State Board examinations to he graduates of a College of Pharmacy. One Hundred One In 1905 the State Law required matriculants in colleges of pharmacy to secure a Pharmacy Student’s Qualifying Certificate based upon the completion of one year of high school or the equivalent of twelve Regent’s counts. In 1906 the entrance requirements were increased to fifteen counts. 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 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. 4i'rom that date to June 1927 all the work was done in the old college building on Eagle Street. Mr. Charles Gibson was elected president of the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1916. His knowledge of all branches of the drug business and his active interest in educational work eminently fitted him to become president of the board of trustees. Under his leadership, in 1918, Dr. William Mansfield the present dean, was appointed and the college reorganized, the faculty increased, new courses of study provided, the hours of study lengthened and more class rooms and new laboratory equipment added. All these changes were timely and necessary to meet the constant growing need of better educated and better practically trained pharmacists. The wisdom of these changes is shown by the rapidly increasing numbers of students who have taken advantage of the facilities offered at the Albany College of Pharmacy for those desiring a sound pharmaceutical training. The educational policy of the Albany College of Pharmacy was changed when an agreement was made January 27, 1920 between the Board of Governors of Union University and the Board of Trustees of the Albany College of Phar- macy amending the charter of the Albany College of Pharmacy. That part of the charter of special interest to students and Alumni is as follows: “And Whereas the Albany College of Pharmacy under the Act of 1873 was established by the Governors of Union University and recog- nized by the Board of Regents, July 12, 1881 with power to confer the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy only BE IT RESOLVED that the Governors of Union University hereby formally apply to the Regents of the University for the modification of the organic law or charter of the Union University to the intent that undergraduate and graduate courses in Pharmacy may be organized by the school and appropriate One Hundred Two degree in conformity with the requirement of the Regents may be con- ferred by Union University.” Proceeding under the amended charter the Pharmaceutical Chemist Course was authorized by the Trustees of the college and approved by the Board of Governors of Union University as meeting the requirements of the New York Statues and the Regents Rules. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held November 3, 1927 Warren L. Bradt was unanimously elected President of the Albany College of Pharmacy. President Bradt graduated in 1889. Upon completion of his course he entered his father’s pharmacy which was located on the site of the present Edu- cation Building. His business is now located at Steuben Street and Broadway. In 1900 he was elected Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy a position which he capably filled. During his term of office all the legislation regulating the practice of pharmacy was enacted. 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 stand- ards for pharmacists. Mr. Bradt held the office of Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy for twenty-five years. On July 1st, 1925 he resigned in order to devote more time to his pharmacy and other business interests. He is a member of the Rotary Club, Albany Country Club, University Club, Fort Orange Club and Masters Lodge No. 5 F. and A. M., State Pharmaceutical Association and American Pharmaceutical Association. He was a member of the building and equipment committees which had direct charge of the work of erecting and equipping the new college. The completion of the new college building in 1927 marked the beginning of a new era for the Albany College of Pharmacy. Every laborator)- is equipped with modern desks and up to date apparatus for carrying on the work of botany, materia medica, chemistry and pharmacy. The new building was occupied for the first time in the Fall of 1927 at which time the College began the three year College Course for candidates for the Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.) degree. The more thorough training that will be given in the three year course will enable the College to graduate better trained pharmacists. Two thousand six hundred and fifty-six hours of instruction is given in three years, eleven hundred and twenty hours of this time is devoted to laboratory practice. The University Course of three years was also started in the Fall of 1927. Candidates who successfully complete this course will receive the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist (Ph.C.). Three thouasnd eight hundred and eight hours of instruction are given in three years, one thousand six hundred and sixty-four hours of this time is devoted to laboratory practice.

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, TTillhouse 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. The National Fraternity, Kappa Psi, was installed in A.C.P. in 1910, under the name of Beta Delta Chapter. The Grand Chapter had been petitioned by a group of young men, who upheld and promoted high scholastic ranking, as well as good fellowship, for a charter. The Grand Chapter of Kappa Psi granted their request. So now for ten years Beta Delta Chapter has been whole-heartedly interested in everything per- taining to A.C.P. and their work can best be attested to by reading over previous Alembic Pharmakons. Those graduate members who have gone out into the world, still bearing that Chapter pin, which reminds them of the highest ideals, lias had much to do with the success that greets them in the branches of work that they chose to follow. 1'or the sake of “auld lang syne” let us gaze back upon our last year at A.C.P. and let us bring back those pleasant and never to lie forgotten memories which will linger with us for the rest of our lives. One Hundred Eleven Coincidental with the opening of the new college building, Kappa Psi took possession of the first real “Frat” house, at 2 Woodlawn Avenue, certainly this reminder has brought back to you the first events of the year so that you may now rehearse them with me. These first few weeks we spent in fixing the house up were certainly well worth the trouble, while we did not have all the furniture that we would have liked to have, it was impossible to furnish everything the first year, a great deal of credit and praise is due to our Regent, R. K. Palmerton, for the obtaining, managing and conducting of the house. The first social event of the year was the annual smoker, which was held October 22, 1927, at the house members of the Faculty and a goodly number of the “Frosh” were there, everyone who attended certainly enjoyed themselves. Following shortly after the smoker, came our first house dance, which proved to be a huge success. For the next couple of months Kappa Psi was busy pledg- ing and initiating new members, we were certainly well pleased with our new Brothers. What Kappa Psi deems the event of the year, our annual Formal Dance, was held February 17, 1928, at the Women’s Club, truly it was the best dance that Beta Delta ever sponsored and the members appreciated the work of the dance committee. With the coming of Saint Patrick’s day, the Chapter decided to hold their second House dance, St. Patrick was certainly done justice to, physically by the display of “green” on the “Frosh.” The year’s college calendar has nearly been filled, and to leave the college with on big get together, our Annual Banquet was held at the Dewitt Clinton on June 5. To the Brothers, who will be returning next year as staid and respectable “Juniors,” we have nothing much to leave you, except plenty of advice, use it if you wish, it is “gratis” even though it is a drug on the market, we are, however, passing on to you our most cherished traditions and customs, we feel confident that you will guard them just as zealously as we did. College days are over for the most of us, for you they are practically just beginning, we leave you now to carry on, trusting that you will fare no worse than we did and perhaps better.

Sloane Max H. Stern Members Morris Schwebel William Weinstein W esterman One Hundred Sixteen a Resume The Rho Pi Phi Fraternity was founded at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 1919. This chapter is known as the Alpha Chapter. The next chapter to be given a charier was Beta, which was organized at the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy in the Spring of 1921. The aims of this fraternity are to create a spirit of good fellowship amongst the men who have chosen Pharmacy as a profession. This spirit has been proven by the large attendance of Alumni Brothers at the various social gatherings. The Ropes of Beta Chapter, class of 1928, inaugurated the beginning of a brilliant year, by having their annual Smoker at the start of the school year. The purpose of this Smoker was Jto renew acquaintances with the friends of the chapter to whom invitations had been extended. It afforded the brothers an opportunity to meet the members of the Freshmen class, some of whom would be chosen to carry on the work of the chapter where we have left off. The Smoker proved to be a great success. The next big event was the Pledgee dance, held at the Temple Beth Emeth. The beautiful decorations, entertainment, music, and refreshments resulted in such a delightful time that we all wished time would not pass so quickly. The committee did its work conscientiously, and received many hearty congratulations. Rabbi Marius Ranson, of Temple Beth Emeth, was one of the honor guests present, along with several of our Alumni men. As the weeks passed by, the chapter was busy with initiations, taking in new members, and the planning of the biggest social event of the year, the Annual Dinner Dance. The Golden Room, of the Hotel 1 lampton was engaged for this occasion and the committee made such elaborate plans for the entertainment, that the night of April 21st will long remain an event never to be forgotten. While the Formal dance still lingers in our mind, Commencement Week brings with it our Annual Banquet, our last official gathering of the year, and for the Senior members of Beta Chapter. Reviewing the activities of the Fraternity in college affairs, we find that many of our brothers stand out conspicuously. Chancellor A1 Silverman comes first with his mental and athletic ability, ably representing us as Editor-in-Chief of Alembic Pharmakon, and on the court as Captain of the College basketball team. Scribe ‘ Chick” Edelschick ranks next as Business Manager of the Year Book, Editor of the “Mortar and Pestle,” Treasurer of the Senior Class, and member of the basketball team. George Koplin distinguished himself by his activities as member of the Orchestra, Glee Club, Dramatic Society, and organizer of the Debating Society. One Hundred Eighteen Archie Schwartz sacrificed much to help make the Year Rook a success. Mac Satloff, English Critic, Alembic Pharmakon. Marty Sloan organized the track and cross-country teams. “Peewee” Fodeman proved his worth as Sports editor of the Year Book. In reviewing the events of the year, due credit must be given to all the brothers for their untiring help and cooperation they gave to make this a success- ful year for Beta Chapter. Ben Fleischmann, Vice-Chancellor, and Chairman of committees, for his tireless and unselfish work for the fraternity. Bernie Honig, Chairman of Membership committee, as the man responsible for securing good men from the class of ’30 to carry on the affairs of Beta. Jack Rothstein, our financial wizarci and Guardian of the Exchequer who was always on the job. Paul Kupferberg, Fiery Dragon, whom all the boys learned to fear. Harry Landman, better known as “Sily” for his good work as Chairman of Special committees. I-ast year, Jack Pollack was awarded the silver loving cup by the fraternity for having the highest average in all departments of the college. Bernie Honig received honorable mention. The Freshmen are very capable of keeping the Fraternity on its high pinnacle of accomplishments. Most of them are Honor men and the other are close to the mark. The brothers feel confident in handing over the reins to them. Thus we close, feeling that Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi Fraternity has ended its most successful year since it received its charter nine years ago. Max Stern, Historian Alpha Beta .

With these principles to guide them, they founded the 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 it flourished. In 1922, under the leadership of Frank A. Squires, now a member of the faculty, the reorganization began Kind when he retired from its presidency, the fraternity was thoroughly rejuvenated and had assumed large proportions. Peter Danzilo succeeded to the presidency. His many ideas, combined with his ability to carry them out, greaatly 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, who was fol- lowed by Kenneth Hunter, both proving worthy of the office and directing the affairs of the fraternity 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 his leader- ship the next great step, that of nationalizing the fraternity, began. The next man to rise to the chair of president was Earl Green who started a successful year at the helm of the fraternity, but due to illness, he was forced to leave school, and Vice-President Lester Chickcring finished the year in a like successful fashion. Certain social events as the Smoker, Prom, and Installation and Dance have become annual affairs. The first of these, the Smoker, held in the Junior Year, took place in the college building. It was attended by the Faculty, members, and friends, and all pronounced it a success. Under his leadership the fraternity continued to flourish, and the last event of the Junior Year was the Sixth Annual Banquet, held in the Hampton Hotel the night preceding Commencement, and it was headed by Professor Dewell. The social events, particularly the annual banquet, are the means of bringing together our active members and alumni and they serve as a means of strengthen- ing 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. Paul H. Geer, Historian.

This was the first step in the foundation of this pharmaceutical sorority. Lambda Kappa Sigma already has thirteen chapters and is now engaged in adding the fourteenth link to this organization which reaches from one side of the nation to the other. This sorority is a union created for the purpose of increasing the happiness and usefulness of its members. It was not until the year 1919, that Beta Chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma was installed in the Albany College of Pharmacy. Beta Chapter has readily increased in number since the year 1926. The first prominent event of the year 1927 was a Rush Party held in October at which fourteen “freshies” anf! several alumni members were present. As Hallowe’en could not be overlooked the members of the sorority cele- brated by giving an informal dance at the college. By this time the Freshman girls were thoroughly convinced that they wanted to be members of Lambda Kappa Sigma so on the evening of December Seventh, eleven candidates awaited the terrors of initiation. After the initiation a dinner and theatre party were enjoyed by both the old and new members. The day before “Christmas” vacation the new members served a surprise luncheon for their sister members of the sorority. This act of thoughtfulness on the part of the Freshmen girls created “a new era of good feeling” and each one departed to go to her respective home with a real Christmas spirit that was enkindled by this occasion. On the night of our return to Albany, January Second, an event, which is hoped will establish a precedent in the sorority was witnessed by forty members, including both active and alumni members. This memorable event was a formal initiation banquet held at the Dewitt Clinton Hotel. March Second, Lambda Kappa Sigma provided part of the evening’s enter- tainment by means of a play, “A Case for Sherlock Holmes,” directed by Pro- fessor Smith. “St. Patty’s” day was celebrated by a dance given by the sorority March 17th at the College. Our Eighth Annual Banquet was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel during Com- mencement week. We, the senior members of Lambda Kappa Sigma, leave with a heavy heart but with the confidence of our younger members knowledge that they will carry on the work of the sorority still better than we have. M. J. Edmond, Historian One Hundred. Twenty-seven I fyt J2eutrate Among the various groups at the Albany College of Pharmacy, there is that majority of students who have not become attached to any of the Fraternities, and they are commonly called the Neutrals. Although the Neutrals are an unorganized body, they showed their ability to cooperate by electing several of their number to office, the elections, taking place in the fall of the school year. The men elected showed their capabilities by per- forming their respective duties in a worthy manner. In scholastics, the Neutrals were well represented in high standing. A num- ber of them were honor men, while many more were close to the mark which must be attained to make the honor roll. In the way of the many other activities, the Neutrals made their presence known by being represented by men whose abilities have been praised throughout the year. In the first sport event of the year, which was the Interfraternity Swimming Meet in which the Neutrals were well represented, they took most of the events into camp and consequently won the meet. This is only one of the many activities in which the Neutrals captured honors. Besides participating in the various sports, they made their presence quite evident at the basketball game by their lung power which helped stimulate the players to victory time and again. At the school dances and at the Dramatic Club plays, the Neutrals were again in evidence, and they contributed to the success of every affair. Taken all in all, the Neutrals can go on out into the world knowing that they have always given their share to keep the name of the Albany College Pharmacy on a high pinnacle of success and recognition, and that they have helped to build up the good fellowship and the good sportsmanship that now prevails in the school.

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.

Lambda Kappa Sigma sorority presented a play on Friday, March 2, 1928, in conjunction with the interclass debate. The next offering, on April 20, 1928, consisted of two plays, presented by members of the Freshman class, an oratorical contest, and moving pictures filmed at the last two annual field days, the 1927 graduation exercises, and the sorority initiation.

Wainman One Hundred Forty-five ®etmttng otietp The opening of the new school building marked a great expansion in extra, curricular activities at (he college. Among the fruits—the apple of discord prob- ably—of this enlarged sphere of student interests, may be classed the Debating- Society. The warm reception accorded this new organization justified the expec- tations of its founders. At the first few meetings a series of debates were conducted on such sub- jects as, The College Fraternity, Co-education, Capital Punishment and Free Speech in the College. Following each debate was a period of open discussion in which those present were eligible to participate. Needless to say, many a vocal apparatus worked overtime in the heat of argument. It is rumored that echoes of the brisk exchanges disturbed early slumberers in Boonevillc. At any rate, a reliable index to current trends of thoughts in New York, Rochester, Syracuse and Rensselaer was available. On March 1, 1928, before a large audience in the school auditorium, the first interclass debate was staged. The Senior class team composed of Messrs. Koplin, MacAuliffe, Kingman and Bernstein, sustained the affirmative of the resolution that, “Active. Military Intervention by the United States in Nicaragua be Discon- tinued.” The negative side was upheld by the Freshmen team composed of Miss Margaret Aiossa and Messrs. Bauer, Glickman and Thyne. Fortunately, the dignity of the Senior Class was not compromised—the judges awarding them the decision by a vote of two to one. Mr. William Gibson, Mr. Edwin Hunting and Mr. Anddrac were the gentlemen who kindly consented to act as judges. Through the generosity of Professor Walter Scharback it was possible to offer several prizes to the winners of an Oratorical Contest held under the auspices of the society. Much credit is due to Professor Francis O’Brien, whose genuine interest and constant support were vital factors in the success of the club. It is the hope of the graduating members that succeeding classes will con- tinue the work of stimulating interest in debating and declamation.

This was accepted by the students of the college, and with the aid of Professor Edwin C. Hurnian, a printed copy was placed before the students. John Koziol and Morris Edelschick, originators of the idea, with the aid of Professor Hutman, appointed an editorial hoard. This board consisted of the above three named, and Stewart Wallace and Vincent Coniglio as circulation managers. News was supplied by the reporters of the respective classes, secre- taries of the fraternities and the sorority, managers of all the student activities and some of our professors. The paper was issued every two weeks and has a circulation now of three hundred copies. The Mortar Pestle, which is now well established as the organ of the student body, will be continued in years to come, and will be constantly enlarged and improved by our successors. The present Board of Editors wishes to thank Professor Edwin C. Hutman of our Faculty for his efforts and aid in securing all the neces- sary appropriations, Dean Mansfield for his sanctioning and aid in placing this paper before the students, Professor Squires, who watched us grow from his mimeograph machine to a large printed sheet, and Ronald E.

OTtlltam JHanstftelb Educator, Author and Phakmacognosist The chief interest of men is men, and that in men who have done something out of the line of the ordinary. Pharmacy has furnished, numerous examples among its practitioners who have risen above the ordinary and who are worthy of our consideration, for in the record of their activities and attainments we may discover causes which have contributed to their successes, as also hints which may serve to guide us in our respective fields of action. In this category one may safely place the name of Dr. William Mansfield, dean of the Albany College of Pharmacy. His work as a botanist, pharmacognosist, author and pharma- ceutical educator, is well known and appreciated, not only by those who have had the good fortune to be his students, but also by those engaged in practical pharmacy as retail druggists and as organization workers. His Steady Advance His record as a teacher reflects a steady advance, not an unexpected accom- plishment when one considers the training he underwent to qualify himself for his future work. Graduating from the public schools at Wappinger Falls, N. Y., he entered Columbia University, then the New York College of Pharmacy from which he received the degree of Ph. G. in 1903. While continuing his studies he served as instructor of physics and chemistry in 1904-5, being awarded the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy in 1906. He was then appointed professor of pharmacognosy and histology, a position he continued to fill from 1906 to 1918. In the meantime he received the degree of Master of Arts. Dr. Mansfield during his early career in the New York College of Pharmacy was essentially a lover of nature, in his leisure hours he took every opportunity of getting out into the fields and woods to study botanical material at: first hand. To this end, he organized classes for outdoor work, a practice which he kept up for some years with much success. This practice did not stop with his college classes, for on numerous occasions at the annual meetings of the New York Pharmaceutical Association he organized “ hiking ” parties to study the flora of different sections in which the meetings were held, and then making use of this material for an exposition of such plants which the pharmacist ought to know, particularly those of medicinal value. In emphasizing the purpose of these botan- ical outings, he stressed the part that recreation plays in life, and that time spent in the woods and fields by the pharmacist could be helpful to him in his work and business. Dean of Albany College In 1918 he severed his connection with the New York College of Pharmacy to become dean of the Albany College of Pharmacy, entering upon his new One Hundred Fifty-four duties on July 1 of that year, and succeeding the late Dr. Willis G. Tucker, who had served as dean until his death in 1922. Dr. Mansfield’s training and experi- ence as a teacher quickly became manifest, for no sooner had he grasped the possibilities of the college, than the trustees, his colleagues and students began planning for a new building and the needed teaching equipment with which to work. The project took root, and though it required several years for its realiza- tion, the new building, a reproduction of which appeared in a recent issue of the “ Era,” became an actuality. Not only in its architecture is the structure an addition to the City of Albany, but as a contribution to the educational facilities of the Empire State, it takes its place along vith other institutions in the country which stand for progress and enlightenment. To quote the words of Assistant Commissioner Augustus S. Downing, the college of pharmacy “has steadfastedly stood for the integrity and improvement of education of those who should enter upon the study of pharmacy, as well as maintained high ideals for the professional training of pharmacists, not only for the good of the student himself, hut for what is more important, perhaps, the protection of the public against service by incompetent men.” In addition to his work as a teacher and an executive, Dr. Mansfield has been a frequent contributor to pharmaceutical literature, and is an author of a number of text books relating to his special field of work, among which the following may be mentioned: “Histology of Medicinal Plants;” “Mansfield’s Materia Medica and Pharmacognosy“ Botany, Development and Descriptive“ Poi- sonous Plants of the Eastern United States“ Laboratory Guide in Botany, Histology and Pharmacognosy,” and numerous other works. Contact with Organizations In the pursuit of these activities he has also kept in contact with organization work in pharmacy. He is an active member of the American Pharmaceutical Association, which he joined in 1907, and of the New York State Pharmaceutical Association since 1911. He served as a vice-president of the American Confer- ence of Pharmaceutical Faculties, now the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, in 1918-19, and is a member and past president of the New York State Board of Pharmacy. He is a Fellow of the New York Academy of Science, and a member of various other scientific and pharmaceutical organizations. Those who know him best say that Dr, Mansfield exhibits many outstanding traits of character, but his great success as a teacher has been due to the fact that he carries his enthusiasm and systematic spirit of inquiry into the lecture room, a method which excites in others a love of knowledge for its own sake. Any effort prompted by such motives cannot be other than fruitful of results.—The Pharmaceutical Era, October, 1927. One Hundred Fifty-five rutf) All those persons who are seriously disturbed by the results of the efforts any but the strong of heart. These are two of the truest sayings that have ever been uttered by any of the human race. All those persons who are seriously disturbed by the results of the efforts of some person whose university has wisely or unwisely started them on the search for this thing called “Truth,” are hereby urged to seek solace from the following statement of Emerson's: God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please; you never can have both. Between these, as a pendulum, man oscillates. He in whom the love of repose predominates, will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets—most likely his fathers. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation, but closes the door of truth. He in whom the love of truth predominates will keep himself aloof from all moorings and afloat. He will abstain from dogmatism, and recognize all the opposite negations between which, as walls, his being is swung. He submits to the inconvenience of suspense and imperfect opinion, hut he is a candidate for the truth, as the other is not, and respects the highest law of his being As a great deal said about the unsettling effects of the study of philosophy may readily be applied to the search for truth, let us consider what Bertrand Russell the philosopher has said. When we set out in search for truth we should not assume that we already know for certain what truth is or what the best way of living is; otherwise, why bother about a further search for truth? The search for truth is a search for what is really true, not for what may be comfortable to believe, and so we dare not limit our search for truth, by insisting that what we find in the search be something we should have thought good before we found it. The great thing is to learn not to be afraid of knowledge. It may happen by good fortune that a moral standard based upon ignorance is right; but if so, knowledge will not destroy it; if knowledge can destroy it; it must be wrong.

Morris Edelschick, ’28 One Hundred Fifty-seven potamcal Mytfjologp In pursuing 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 superstitions, while others are of legendary interest. Whatever beauty a man bcholdeth with his heart, to him that thing exists and blesseth him. Nature, loves to place beside the trail where humanity walks from oblivion to oblivion signboards calling attention to the significance, the spiritual meaning of life. The Trillium or Wake-robin, which common name is not quite exact for the Robins come first to wake the Trillium; ygt the flower appears among the advance guard to assure us that spring has come. Growing in its purple-red majesty beside the brook, it bears the three petals signifying the trinity of force, matter and natural law. The Gold-thread or Coptis trifolia is a modest little plant, named officially from the Greek work kopto, to cut, on account of its divided leaves. The com- mon name comes from the fine, tangled yellow roots. In 1758 it was proposed to Linnaeus that the plant be named after Jane Coldon who had first described the plant. In the early days of this country when any herb that was particularly nauseous was considered full of virtue, the gold-thread was brewed into a tea, much valued as a spring tonic. Growing in yellow patches usually in damp ground, Coltsfoot or Tussilago farfara, a perennial herb from Europe with thick, creeping rhizome, leaves radi- cal, appearing later than the scaly scapes, records one of the traffic disasters of olden time. The leaves reach their full size after the flowering season and are rounded, heart shaped, resembling somewhat a colt’s foot. Phaeton, son of Helios, the sun god, was a speed maniac who did not like the sober way his father drove the chariot of the sun. One day he induced his pater to let him try his hand at the reins. His inexperience in handling fiery steeds resulted in a runaway which might have set the world on fire, but for Zeus in his capacity of a traffic officer, who saw the maddened horses getting out of hand and struck young Phaeton dead with a thunderbolt. The leaves of the coltsfoot marked by the hoofs of the horses of Helios, grow thickly, still looking as if a double span of frantic horses had trampled the earth there. The name “Tussilago” comes from tussis, a cough; for the cure of which the plant was used in olden times. In thickets beside the Bronx river at Valhalla, the white slender spikes of Culver’s root, Veronica virginica, are like lighted tapers in the cool green twilight. I his tall smooth stemmed perennial, with lance shaped finely toothed leaves in whorls about the tall stems is of the family named for Veronica, the pitying One Hundred. Fifty-eight woman who, as Jesus bore the cross, wiped away the bloody sweat from His face, carrying away with her the imprint of His countenance. She is the patron saint of laundresses. At dusk when the whip-poor-wills are calling in the hills at Armonk and the white spirit like forms of the leaping fountains in the aeration plant of the Catskill aqueduct sway like fairies, the lovely tapers of Virginia veronica seem to be lighting the day flying birds and butterflies to bed. At a distance one is apt to confuse the flower’s spikes with those of black cohosk, but the Culver’s root spires are more delicate and tapering. Tall white rockets, shooting upward from a mass of large handsome leaves inform us that we are looking at Black Snakeroot or Cimici fuga. The odor is as offensive as the fleecy white blossoms are attractive. Cimici fuga, meaning to drive away bugs, and the old folk-name of bug-bane is quite fitting. A poor quality of rosin is extracted from this plant. Cohosh is the Indian name for several plants and comes from one of the eastern Algonquin dialects probably “ kushki ” meaning rough. Indians used this in treating rheumatism, dropsy, and chonic bronchitis. Everywhere in fields is the sign of the cross. The Cruci ferae or Mustard family is large and includes many fine citizens. Brassica nigra or Black mustard is the classical example of the family. The four regular petals are opposite each other in pairs, their spreading limbs forming a cross. The cross, since the death of Jesus, has stood for sacrifice for the good of others. But it is a much older religious sign. The swastika, now considered good luck, found on the backs of spiders, was originally the four-armcr reel on which yarn was wound after our Neolothic mothers had learned from the spider to spin threads. It is found on very ancient pre-Christian altars. The ankh, or crux ansata, was an ancient Egyptian cross shaped like tau, the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet, with a loop at the top of the cross arm, and was used as an attribute or sacred emblem symbolizing generation or enduring life. We wonder if by chance there is any connection with the parable of Jesus stating that the kingdom of heaven is like unto a mustard seed. The mustards make many a meal more agreeable. Water- cress, sacrified at Lucullian feasts, belongs to the same botanical family. Cybele, the great nature mother, mourning the death of Attis, the spirit of growing vegetation passes the winter asleep in mountain caves, guarded by lions. With the first blue bird she steals forth to waken the anemones, Mayflowers and hepaticas. Down the mountain trails at her side stalk the lions, shadowy watch dogs of the goddess, emblems of nobility, bravery and magnificence, as the winged lion of St. Marks’, emblem of that great evangelist; the Lion of God, referring to the Caliph Ali, eloquent in the defense of Islam; the constellation Leo, magnifi- cent in the heavens. Taraxacum officinale or the common dandelion whose name is a corruption of the French dent-de-lion has leaves that resemble the teeth of One Hundred Fifty-nine a lion set in the jaw. When they blossom, one may see in the golden flowers the yellow mane of the king of beasts. Made into wine, the flowers give people leonine emotions. Used symbolically the Dandelion expresses bitterness of grief. “ Dear common flower that grow’st beside the way Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold. Gold such as thine ne’er drew the Spanish prow Through the primeval hush of Indian seas, Nor wrinkled the lean brow Of age, to rob the lover’s heart of ease. ’Tis the spring’s largess, which she scatters now To rich and poor alike, with lavish hand; Though most hcarfs never understand To take it at God’s value, but pass by The offered wealth with unrewarded eye.” Blood root or Sanguinaria was used by the Indians as a war paint; the orange red juice was also used by colonial mothers who dropped it on lumps of sugar and gave it to their children for colds and coughs. Bryant writes of the Anemone pulsatilla and Anemone pratensis, “ Within the woods, whose young and half transparent leaves scarce cast a shade, gay circles of anemones danced on their stalks.” According to one poetical Greek tradition, Anemos the wind, employs these star like namesakes as heralds of his coming. Pliny declares that only the wind could open the anemones! Another legend utilized by countless poets pictures Venus wandering through the forests grief stricken over the death of her youthful lover. “Alas, the Paphian! fair Adonis slain! Tears plenteous as his hlood she pours amain; But gentle flowers are born and bloom around From every drop that falls upon the ground: Where streams his blood, there blushing springs the rose; And where a tear has dropped, a wind flower blows.” The Romans ceremonially picked the first anemone of the year with an incantation supposed to guard them against fever. This same plant is also found in Asia and is planted on graves by the Chinese, who call it the “ Death Flower.” As a symbolical flower it represents desertion. Veratrum Viride or American Hellebore is mentioned by Burton in his “Anatomic of Melancholy “Borage and hellebore fill two scenes----- Sovereign plants to purge the veins Of melancholy, and cheer the heart Of those black fumes which make it smart.” One Hundred Sixty But like most medicines the plant that heals may also poison. Pliny men- tions of the horses, oxen and swine of his day being killed by eating the foliage of the hellebore. This flower is used to symbolize scandal. Iris Versicolor or Blue Flag according to Sir John Lubbock possesses the bee’s favorite color. Buskin states that this flower has a sword for a leaf and a lily for its heart. This plant bears the name of Tris, goddess of the rainbow, because of its superb coloring, ethereal texture and evanescent beauty. Known as Fleur-de-lys this symbolizes light. Used as the emblem of Florence and of the French Kings adopted first by that young and pious Crusader, Louis VII. The three petals on the arms of France denote Piety, Justice, and Charity. Used as it is on mariner’s compasses to designate the North Pole; it was adopted by the mariner Flavio Gioja in honor of Charles d’Anjou, king of Naples. Round leaved Sundew or Drosera rotundi folia is a plant that lives by revers- ing the natural order of higher forms of life preying upon the lower ones, an anomaly in that the vegetable eats the animal. Darwin’s luminous account in his “Insectivorous Plants’’ states how he fed these leaves with various articles, found that they would dissolve matter out of pollen seed, grass, etc. When undesirable substances as chalk or wood were placed on the hairs, these substances would be dropped. He also poisoned the plants by administering toxic substances and gave them fatal attacks of indigestion by overfeeding them with bits of raw beef! Curcurbita Pepo or our Common Pumpkin, was grown by the Indians in their corn patches all along the Atlantic coast when the European colonists landed and settled in this section. During the American Revolution a crude form of sugar and syrup were obtained from these pumpkins and used as sugar substitutes. The seed are used to expel intestinal worms. For years the pumpkin has been used in connection with harvest and All Hallowe’en events. Verbascum thapsus or Mullein Dock comes into mention historically when the Greeks used the velvet leaves for lampvdcks after they had come from Megara on the Gulf of Corinth and landed temporarily at Thapsus Sicily mentioned by Ovid and Virgil, about 728 BC. Mullein, used in making a lea for people with pulmonary complaints and “Bullock lungwort” when used as cattle medicine, preaches the doctrine of central good, because its first leaves grew in a rosette or circle, the sign of God, a short stem or axis bearing a dense cluster of leaves. In mathematics a rosette pertains to any of the curves named by the Abbe Grandi “ rhodoneae,” from their likeness to rose petals. Mother Nature has woven into the fabric of the cosmos the circle by creating a round universe, the planets and radiolaria of zoological spheres. Sometimes this plant is called “ hag-taper ” since legends would have us believe that witches used them for tapers, this of course applies to the withered spike of the old plant. John Burroughs in his book “ An One Hundred Sixty-one October Abroad” states: “I have come three thousand miles to see the mullein cultivated in a garden and christened the velvet plant.” The generic name first used by Pliny is thought to be a corruption of Rarbascum (with beards) in allu- sion to the hair filaments or possibly the leaves. Pale country beauties rub their cheeks with the velvety leaves to make them rosy. Aralia or Spikenard root is a striking decorative plant, once much sought after for its medicinal virtues—still another herb with which old women delight to dose their victims for any malady from a cold to a carbuncle. A relative of this plant is the one which furnished the “very precious” ointment poured by Mary upon the Saviour’s head. Found in the distant Himalayas, it could then be imported into Palestine only by the rich. The Flowering Dogwood or (iiornus Florida, makes us propose this question: Has Nature’s garden a more decorative ornament that this, whose spreading flattened branches whiten the woodland borders in May as if an untimely snow- storm had come down upon them, and in autumn paint the landscape with glorious crimson, scarlet and gold, dulled by comparison only with the clusters of vivid red berries among the foliage. The horrors of pompous monuments, urns, busts, shafts, angels, lambs and long-drawn-out eulogies in stone in many a cemetery' are mercifully concealed in part by these boughs, laden with blossoms of heavenly purity. “Let dead names be eternized in dead stone, But living names by living shafts be known. Plant thou a tree whose leaves shall sing Thy deeds and thee each fresh, recurrent spring.” This flower has been selected by the State of Virginia as her official flower. The Witch-Hazel or Hamamelis virginiana is mentioned by Swift who writes: “They tell us something strange and odd About a certain magic rod That, bending down its top divines Where’er the soil has hidden mines; Where there are none, it stands erect Scorning to show the least respect.” This shrub is used to prepare a soothing extract from its juices, but was formerly quite used as a divining rod. In Baring-Bould’s book “Curious Myths of the Middle Ages,” a story is told of Linnaeus losing a purse; the great botanist was of course quite dubious as to the ability of the divining rod being able to assist him, but much to his surprise and chagrin, his secretary employed it and found the purse. Used symbolically it signifies a spell. One Hundred Sixty-two Podophyllum or May apple, sometimes known as Mandrake owes its abridged scientific name to the fact that Linnaeus seemed to see in the leaves a resemblance to a duck's foot (Anapodophyllum) ; equally imaginative American children call them green umbrellas and declare they unfold only during April showers. It is told in story that this plant is started where once a criminal had polluted the grounds, and so the belief grew that it was commonly found near a gallows. Trifolium or the Common Red Clover makes us think of meadows bright with clover heads among the grasses, daisies and buttercups in June resounding with the murmur of unwearying undustry and rapturous enjoyment. There is a story of some Australians who imported great quantities of clover for fodder and had bountiful crops that season, but not a seed to plant for next year simply because they had failed to import the bumblebee. To live in clover,” from the insects point of view at least, may well mean a life of luxury and affluence. Many peasants in Europe state that a dream about the flower foretells a happy marriage, a long life and prosperity. This flower expressive of industry has been adopted by Vermont as its state flower. 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. Gordon C.

Mac Satlofk, ’28 One Hundred Sixty-three )t ©rug Mott asf a Community Center In spite of all assertions that the modern drug store is on a par with all other stores in the community, as for instance the grocery store, it is still an undeniable fact that the former exerts a marked influence on the community. This is especially true of stores in residential neighborhoods. The drug store in the latter case is the community’s postoffice, it is the community’s public telephone booth ; in short, it is the public service station of the community. In case of an accident in the community before any medical aid can be obtained, it is (he druggist who is called upon to apply “ first aid to the injured.” In this respect the drug store is of iij raluable service. The fact that drug stores have adopted such long working hours is proof of its necessity and importance to the community. For the druggist is not so indifferent to life and its pleasures that he would willingly deprive himself of its benefits were it not necessitated by public demand. Thus it is evident that the drug store and the druggists’ profes- sional knowledge and experience are valuable assets to the community. Tn view of these facts, it is to be regretted that the druggist, in spite of all his services, is so little appreciated by the public. Smile, brother, smile!

Sixty-four treatment of otgontns Many remedies have been recommended for treatment of poisoning result- ing from contact with poison ivy or sumac. Some persons are more susceptible to the poison than others. With many however, a few hours or a day after con- tact with the plant, a red rash appears, with more or less swelling and itching; small blisters appear, filled with serum, and these tend to spread over the surface of the body, and sometimes, affect the mucous membranes and produce various systemic effects. According to Dr. J. F. Couch of the United States Department of Agriculture, one of the best remedies for such poisoning is the application of a five per cent solution of potassium permanganate to the affected parts by means of a piece of absorbent cotton orMoft cloth. The poison is oxidized by the permanganate, leaving a brown stain which may be easily removed by applying a one per cent solution of oxalic acid, or, what is perhaps a safer application, a one per cent solution of sodium bisulphite. Soap and water are also quite effec- tive in removing the stain, and their application is preferable in cases in which the skin is broken as a result of scratching. Among the preventive measures which have been suggested, Dr. McNair of Chicago has recommended the use of a five per cent solution of ferric chloride in a mixture of equal parts of water and glycerin, which is to be rubbed on the skin of those parts of the body which are liable to come in contact with dangerous weeds. The solution is allowed to dry on the skin; if the skin then comes in contact with the ivy, the iron forms with the latter a non-poisonous compound. In some cases of poisoning, according to medical authorities, the effects of the poison may last from ten to fifteen days, and are then followed by desquamation of the epidermis. ffltfypI lcofjol in Tobacco moke The average consumption of tobacco in the United States is above six pounds per person, per year. Billions of cigars and cigarettes are smoked every year. Heretofore, most of the attack on tobacco has been because of nicotine, and it has been pointed out that a cigarette smoker who inhales regularly for an hour might absorb as much as 36 milligrams of nicotine, an amount sufficient to cause illness. Now, Dr. C. Neuberg and Maria Kobel of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Biochemistry in Berlin find that tobacco is a source of methyl or wood alcohol. This drug is detectable in measureable amounts in tobacco smoke. The European investigators noted that not more than one-tenth of the alcohol entering the body One Hundred Sixty-five with the smoke was exhaled again in the air. Most of it seems to remain dis- solved in the fluids of the body. According to calculations, a smoker who smokes 10 cigars of average size daily burns up 70 grams of tobacco and would inhale about 42 milligrams of wood alcohol. The smoking of 20 cigarettes, containing 20 grams of tobacco, will lead to the inhalation of 40 milligrams of wood alcohol. Such a dose is not poisonous, but if the drug tends to be cumulated in the body, excessive smoking may do harm through this factor. feulpfjur in Cfnna The sulphur utilized in China as an ingredient in black powder and fireworks consumes perhaps more than half the total production. A small part is used as fertilizer and a still lesser quantity is employed in the chemical, textile, and other industries. Because of its importance in making munitions, the sulphur is usually mined and sold under the fixed control of government authorities. H ktn ®£easie£ tn Snbustrp Specialists in diseases of the skin classify as “trade dermatitis ” those forms of inflammation, particularly of the skin, that are due to the handling of various products. Recently, reports have been made public of infections resulting from the handling of butter, due to the continuous exposure to water and due to chemi- cal compounds such as butyric aldehyde and butyric acid which are found in rancid butter. The skin also seems to react greatly to any of the chemical substances asso- ciated with the manufacture of dynamite. Mercury fulminate produces ulcers of the fingers and hands, especially under the nails. The paraffin seems to aid the development of infections of the skin, and the Bureau of Labor of the United States Government has found ulcers of the fingers quite frequently on the hands of the workers in the dynamite industry. The prevention of such difficulties involves thorough washing of the hands, the avoidance of all possible contact with chemicals, the reduction to a minimum of exposure to water, and the protection of the hands after work by the use of creams or oils.

Gordon Micheals One Hundred Sixty-nine The Albany College of Pharmacy opened its 1927-28 season against St. Michaels College on the eve of September 10. Coach McLaughlin was indeed handicapped for lack of basketball material. With only Captain A1 Silverman left from the famous team of 1926-27. he was at a great disadvantage. After striving for weeks with the raw material a combination consisting of the present squad was picked to uphold the laurels of A. C. P. With only eleven men on the squad and with very little practice due to the incomplete gymnasium, our team faced St. Michaels for its opening game. Wallace, a flashy forward, was injured after the third game and his services were lost for the remainder of the season. Ineligibilities and outside work also hampered the team greatly. Despite these many handicaps and obstacles, the team enjoyed a mediocre season. Some of our victories were over Columbia College of Pharmacy, Cooper Union, Grace M. E., and Oswego Normal. Coach McLaughlin, Captain Silverman, Manager Michaels and the entire team deserve our congratulations for the results of their untiring efforts. Graduation will leave Kowalski, Heidel, Haynes, Dugan, Clapkin, and Dob- bins on the squad to build up next year’s team, and with the incoming material including the Freshmen Basketball team, and the three year course in' vogue, we all look forward to one of the best teams ever produced at the College. The first game of the season ended in a defeat to St. Michaels. The game was exciting and hotly contested but the boys were edged out by the score 28 to 24. Brett starred by making thirteen points. Then came Eastman’s Business College. A host of six footers who defeated a green but fighting team by the score of 45 to 36. Heidel featured with thirteen points. The next game was played at the Central Y. M. C. A. due to repairs at the College Gym. Our boys played witty basketball and trounced Oswego Normal 45 to 35. Heidel again led the scoring with fifteen points and Kowalski made eight points to his credit. Captain Silverman played wonderful basketball and proved his worth more as a guard than as a forward. Columbia College of Pharmacy followed with a very strong team from New York. This was one of the most exciting contests ever witnessed at the College Gym. The score seesawed back and forth with the entire school rooting for their Alma Mater. Columbia finally rallied forth and broke the tie, winning 23 to 21. Wallace was injured in this game and had to retire. Disheartened by the heart breaking defeat at the hands of Columbia, the team again lost to Springfield College Juniors by the close score of 26 to 23. Spring- field was held to a tie at half time but the boys seemed to lose their grip in the second half. One Hundred Seventy A new combination was put into effect and the Albany College of Pharmacy basketball team showed a complete renewal of form by defeating Cooper Union, Grace M. E. and Columbia College of Pharmacy in rapid succession. The Cooper Union game ended in a 29 to 20 victory for A. C. P. Captain Silverman starred with nine points and Brett was close behind with seven points. Kowalski, Haynes, Mosher and Dugan all contributed their share in registering a victory over the New Yorkers. The next victim was Grace M. E. The substitutes were given their chance and they proved successful by winning 32 to 26. Clapkin, Seguine, Edlechick and Dobbins were those of the bench warmers who played a good game. One of the features of the season was a return game with Columbia. Over a hundred loyal rooters, including Professor O’Brien, departed with the team to New York to witness the event. This game proved to be even more exciting and spectacular than the previous one. The motto of the team was “ Revenge ” for their sustaining defeat at Albany. The final score ended in a 24 to 23 victory for A. C. P. Captain A1 Silverman played one of the best games of his career, caging ten points including six consecutive fouls. Haynes also featured by playing shifty basketball and scoring four points. Brett, Kowalski, Dugan and Heidel played steady basketball and helped to gain the victory. After the Columbia game, the team was taken off its stride and the season was closed with defeats to Colgate Frosh and Courtland Normal. Cliff Heidel totaled 63 points for the season, Captain Silverman filled second place with 44 points, while Brett and Kowalski followed with 41 and 38 points respectively. D.

Though it was not as great a success as the boys of 1930 wanted it to be, nevertheless credit must be given to the club for the interest they took in the various games that they played, which, again, speaks well for our college. In the first part of the season the freshmen lovers of basketball saw Dean Mansfield and obtained his consent to go ahead and organize their team. At a regular meeting these officers were chosen: Michael Yuda, Captain; Clifford Heidel, Coach; John Markarian, Manager. The following men composed the team: Michael Y7uda Arnold Schoor Nicholas Comanzo Louts Epstein William Minehan Kenneth Hauck Sam Cheris Salvatore Durant Ezra Lasker John Markarian, Manager One Hundred Seventy-two ;§ totmmtng BURDETTE G. DEWELL, JR. EDWARD L. STEIN Faculty Advisor Manager Swimming, although one of the youngest activities at the College, has devel- oped into one of the major sports due to the success of the past teams. The team of the past year was so confident of its abilities, that it ventured forth to conquer new foes, the most important one being the New York State College team. And conquer they did! Swimming meets and practices were held regularly every week at Bath No. 3, which was procured for the use of the school. Many men came out and after a few weeks of practice, the first meet was held. Teams representing each fra- ternity and one representing the Neutrals composed the competitors. After an exciting and splashing time, the Neutrals emerged victorious, nosing out the Epsilon Phi team by a narrow margin. This meet afforded the opportunity for Professor Dewell to select the team to represent the school, as it brought out the ability of each swimmer. This team immediately started to get into tip-top shape for our big meet of the year, namely, against State College. This swimfest inaugurated the first Intercollegiate meet for the college. The meet was exciting from the start, both teams fighting on even terms until the end was in sight. At this time Pharmacy showed its superiority and beat out State by a 19—13 score. Edward Stein and Waldo Ott were the stars One Hundred Seventy-four of the meet. Stein captured three first places for a total of nine points. Ott com- pletely outclassed the State swimmer by a remarkable performance in the under- water event. Summary: 25-yard dash—Won by Stein, Pharmacy; Blank, Pharmacy, second. 50-yard dash—Won by Shillinghaw, State; Allen, State, second. Backstroke—Won by Stein, Pharmacy; Blank, Pharmacy, second. Underwater swim—Won by Ott, Pharmacy; Allen, State, second. ri Breaststroke—Won by Stein, Pharmacy; Shillinglaw, State, second. Plunge—Won by Shillinglaw, State; Allen, State, second. Sidestroke—Won by Allen, State; Sloane, Pharmacy, second. Relay Won by Pharmacy: Stein, Blank, Nisoff, Navazio. The success of the team is due to the good work of the following men who compose the team: Alfred Smith, Captain Samuel Nisoff Martin Sloane Joseph Blank Louis Navazio Leonard Mendelsohn Waldo Ott Edward Stein, Manager Walter Mattison Walter Bean Jack Pollock Robert Thyme DeWitt Dutcher Burdette Dewell, Faculty Advisor Each of the above members were awarded letters, and the outstanding ones were given charms for their efforts to close the most successful season enjoyed by the college, and for leaving their successors an undefeated record to keep clean. Edward Stein, Manager One Hundred Seventy-five QTrack MERLE MUNSON Faculty Advisor MARTIN J. SLOANE Manager In February, under the direction of Coach A. A. McLaughlin, a triangle meet was arranged for State College, the Y. M. C. A., and A. C. P. Both college teams were completely outclassed by the Y. M. C. A. men. The real contest lay between State and Pharmacy. When the meet was nearly over, the two teams were tied for second place with ten points each. There remained but a 440 yard relay; this would decide the contest, it is very satisfying to note here that Pharmacy’s team won by a lap. The points were scored for us in the indoor meet, by Ray Matteson, Leonard Mendelsohn, Archie Schwartz and the relay team. This victorious quartet was made up of Louis Navazio, Captain Eddie Eagle, Leonard Mendelsohn and Archie Schwartz. This history would be incomplete without a record of the invaluable aid the team received from Coach McLaughlin. His constant interest and helpful advice were a great inspiration and encouragement to the men. They take this oppor- tunity to acknowledge their appreciation. M. J.

McLAUGHLIN, Coach MARTIN J. SLOANE, Manager It was late in October before plans were completed to organize a cross country team. This was a great disadvantage. It made it necessary to start hard train- ing immediately. When men run four miles the third' day of practice, many stiff limbs are the result. There was but a week before our first meet, however, and the men had to turn a deaf ear to complaining muscles. This first meet was with New York State College for Teachers and the Albany High School. This contest served its purpose in showing how the men would stand up under fire. Eleven men were entered in the race and eleven men finished the three mile run. On November first the team clashed with Albany High School in a mile run. At this time our star shone forth for the first time. Johnny Flood sprung a sur- prise finish and missed beating out John Zohn, Albany High’s crack miler, by a few feet, and this with practically no training. The net result for these first two weeks of cross-country meant only hard work and aching muscles; there was not much glory in the two defeats. But this did not dishearten our hardy harriers. They were waiting for the last run on our schedule, with State College. Somehow, State and Pharmacy get along very well as rivals—in a friendly way, of course. There were two more meets yet to complete the training for the big day; with R. P. I. and Union College Frosh. The Schenectady run proved a hard grind and the champs made a clean sweep. But the harder we were pushed, the better we liked it; the boys were waiting. At last came the “ Thanksgiving dinner.” The boys were well nigh starved for a bite at State, and they showed it by their pretty work. Johnny Flood, our first man to come in, put over an exciting sprint finish, beating his man by a yard. Our next man to come in was DeWitt Dutcher, and LePrell followed close behind. Art Dugan and Captain Ed Eagle completed our point-winning group. Although the men who followed did not count in the final score, the spirit was so keen, that all the men pushed themselves to the utmost and sprint finishes seemed to be the vogue. The final score was 26-29, with A. C. P. the victors. Next year, Art Dugan, Alfred LePrell and DeWitt Dutcher will serve as a nucleus for the team. There ought to be no disadvantage of a late start and the team will be able to profit by the mistakes of our first year at cross-country. One Hundred Seventy-eight potoltng PROF. F. J. O’BRIEN Director F. C. HAM ANN Manager Hail to the Seniors, bowling champs, for the season of 1927-28. Led by Captain Fred Hamann, aided and abetted by Dicks, Coniglio, Joseph, Burnett, Fitzgerald, and Paulus, they took the season’s honors by winning 47 games and losing a meager 10. They took the lead on the opening night and were never headed. Although first place was never in doubt, there was a real battle for the posi- tion of runner up. During the first part of the season the Freshmen and Faculty teams battled on even terms, but toward the end, the pace began to tell on the inexperienced Frosh, and the veteran Faculty team took second place, by a good margin. The Fraternity team, hopelessly outclassed, ended in the cellar. Professor Smith was the individual star with a high average of 163, a high three of 597, and a high single of 247. Due to his efforts and his more versatile teammates the Faculty team captured the high team single and high team three for the season.

It was decided to have an elimination contest, the highest twelve to represent the riffle club of the school. Practice was held regularly every Thursday afternoon under the eagle eye of Sergeant Squires. Matches were held with Fort Orange Post, Albany High School, Albany Academy, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Ford Company.

STEWART WALLACE Manager Tennis, although a new addition to the sports calendar at the college, has become exceedingly popular. If you don’t believe it try and get a court at Washington Park any afternoon in the. week during the playing season. Last year, under the direction of Professor S. S. Smith, a Senior and a Junior ladder was formed. They consisted of the 10 best players in each class. Early last Spring a tournament was held at Ridgefield Park, for the purpose of selecting the best Senior and Junior teams, the former was composed of Aus- tin Clark and Paul Sahagian, the latter of “ Skippy ” Wallace and Maurice Josephs. Of course a match between the two teams was inevitable, so it was arranged to have the teams play on Professor Smith’s private court, one of the best in the Capitol District. The results of this match were disastrous for the Seniors, Wallace and Josephs vanquishing them to the tune of 6—0, 6—0. 6—1. R. A. Yeiile M embers Prof. S. S. Smith, Coach C.

GOOD TO THE LAST DROP “Good morning,” cried Jones, bursting into my bedroom and waking me up. “ Have you used Pear's soap ? ” “ Jones,” I said, “ get out of here! ” “ Such popularity must he deserved,” he sighed. “ It is,” I assured him, “ so heat it! ” “ Pest in the long run I suppose,” he said. “Put you’d better get up and have some milk from contented cows and a slice of the ham what ’am.” “Jones,” I asked, “what did you come here for anyway?” “ There’s a reason,” said Jones, “ but mum is the word.” “ How did your garters look this morning?” “Jones,” I said, “your humor grates on my nerves and—” “ It hasn’t scratched yet,” he cut in, “ and there’s beauty in every jar.” “ Wake up your skin and start the day right; let in some barreled sunlight.” “ Jones,” I hoarsed, “ I’m seeing red.” “ Keep that schoolgirl complexion,” he advised. “ It’s finished with Duco and the flavor lasts. You can ask the man who owns one.” I reached for my revolver and aimed it at Jones’ head. “ No metal can touch me,” he shouted. “ Safe tea first.” “Jones,” I said, “you’re going to die,” and I pulled the trigger. “ Never say dye; say Rit,” he gasped and slowly sank to the congoleum.

Well, said Henry, as he adjusted the tie of Skip’s dinner jacket, thrust his arms into Johnny’s fur coat, dashed out to Moe’s car, with Ron’s money, to take out Chick’s girl, “ I’m a real fraternity man at last.” Positive—You are perfectly nor- mal ? Negative—Yes. Positive—You light your cigarette with your right hand? Negative—Yes. Positive—That’s not normal. Most people use a match. Why is a hard capsule like the Twentieth Century ? Because it comes in sections. So you went fishing with Silverman yesterday. What did you catch? Ask Al. I’ve forgotten the number we agreed upon. Josephs—Got a 1915 Ford run- about ? Used Car Dealer—No, but I can get you a seven-passenger job, a 1919 Pierce-Arrow with good tires and an engine that’s just been overhauled, for seventy-five bucks. It’s a real buy. Joe—It’s too big. I want a small car that’ll accommodate six couples comfortable. Took girl out, Spent eight dollars on her; All she had. Know what will stop falling hair? Yeh, the floor. The flapper was buying Christmas presents for her small niece. “ Here is a nice rubber doll,” sug- gested the clerk. “ See when you squeeze it, it says “ Mamma.” For a minute the flapper showed no signs of interest, then her face bright- ened. “ Haven’t you any that says ’Oh boy,’ when you squeeze it?” she inquired eagerly. Kind Lady—Don’t you think that if you were to go back home you’d find a light burning there for you? Wayward Youth—Not if Sis has still got the same boy friend she had when I was there last. Dya know the Hawk brothers? Naw. Who are they? Mo and Tommy. Did you have a good time at the Junior Prom? So they tell me. Did you ever hear that song entitled ” I Beg Your Pardon?” No. Forgive me, please, forgive me. ABSENT MINDED SMOKER Now what did I walk this mile for? As Bill Tilden said, “ This isn’t a bad racket.” One Hundred Ninety-six A TRIP THROUGH FREIDLAND Rolling along in our Hudson, through the quiet countryside we passed a Bean plantation irrigated by babbling Brooks. The farmer was stuffing Beans into Sacks, prior to loading them on Briggs, where they were packed in the Stern and sent Millward to be Kahned. An Eagle flew by raising Cain with the farmer’s Chicks. We traveled onward into the Port of Albany, taking all hills in high Geer and stopped with a screeching of La Brakes. There we saw “ Skipper ” Wallace who related wild tales of Burgs, devas- tated by Floods. Taking our leave w , stopped at Aust-Inn where the Butler in the Hall greeted us with a Blank expression. We sat at a table and partook of Hamann eggs and drank Stein after Stein. Getting ready to leave the waiter informed us that a Robertnan had stolen our car so we hailed a Hackman, who took us up Matteson Ave., where we let Satloff and went home to bed. M. P. PHYSIOLOGICAL QUESTIONS 1 Did you ever play on the drum of your ear? 2 Do you think your eyes are a school because there are pupils in them or a garden because there are irises in them? 3 Did you ever go under the arch of your foot or over the bridge of your nose? 4 Did you ever taste the calf of your leg? 5 Will the soles of your shoes go to heaven when you die? 6 Did you ever wear the cap of your knee? 7 Why don’t you send your crazy bone to an insane asylum? 8 Will the blade of your shoulder cut? 9 Were you ever shaded by the palm of your hand? 10 Did you ever fall into the pit of your arm? 11 Can you paint anything with the enamel of your teeth? 12 Can you chew the gums in your mouth? 13 Did you ever try to fasten two boards together with your finger nails? 14 Did you ever try to put any clothes in your chest? 15 Did you ever try to cover a pot with the lid of your eye? Freshmen—Tf that’s so, I’ll eat my shirt! Sophomore—Aw, don’t chew the rag. WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND The day after skipping. When you are a Senior with a just about average. When she starts going with another fellow. When the various holidays come on Saturday. When marks come out. One Hundred Ninety-eight COLIC Baby and I in the weary night Are taking a walk for her delight; I drowsily stumble o’er stool and chair And clasp the babe with grim despair; For she’s got the colic And paregoric Don’t seem to ease my squalling heir. Baby and I with the morning gray, Are gripping and squalling and walking away: The fire’s gone out and I nearly freeze, There’s a smell of peppermint on the breeze; Then Mama wakes And the baby she takes, And says; Now cook breakfast please.” A COLLEGE BOY One Hundred Ninety-nine HOW TO PREVENT CHEATING 1 Students will march to class under guard of Albany’s police equipped with sawed-off shotguns. 2 Will be stopped at doorway and searched for contraband notes, etc. 3 Before entering classroom each student will be submitted to psychological examination to determine whether or not he has any idea of cheating. 4 Classrooms will be decorated with such notes as “ Honesty Has Its Reward ” and “ Think Before You Cheat.” 5 Each student must wear blinds and place a handkerchief in his mouth. 6 Students and professors will enter together and the doors will be locked and sealed. «v 7 Students will sit two seats apart with professors standing between each two students. Professors will be armed with blackjacks to inspire respect. 8 Additional professors on the outside will watch through peepholes in the wall. 9 Highly tuned dictaphones will be concealed behind the pictures to catch the slightest whisper. 10 When the student has finished his examination a lie detector will be used to find out whether or not he has cheated. Before marking the papers, professors will discount ten points from each paper on the possibility that the student has cheated. ASK ME ANOTHER Tell me, friend, oh, tell me! Who was Paul Revere? Do Jersey cows wear jerseys? Is near beer very near? Are humbugs bigs? And why are rugs? Do swallows swallow fast? Are highbrows really always high ? Do flies like to be cast ? And if you think I'm going bats, Be lenient, worthy brother. I’m merely getting goofy from That dammed “Ask Me Another.” “Are you a doctor ? ” the maiden cried, As the druggist’s white jacket she espied, He answered, “ No, ma’am,” his face turning red, “ I’m a fizzilion, dear lady,” he said. Two Hundred One TOASTS Here’s to our sons in college; you have to make allowances for them. Here's to the blonde; we love her henna-way. Here’s to the tightwad who hides a pair of socks in the pocket of his pajamas to cut down his laundry bill. To pedestrians; here’s honking at you. Here’s to the flapper, good and kind; Let’s drink her health in toddy. She’s nothing much upon her mind And less upon her body. Here’s to the optimist who takes the crank off his Ford. Here’s to our bills; may we some day meet ’em. Here’s to the pedestrian; every year is leap year with him. Here's to woman —a flood of loveliness—damn her. Here’s to Chicago; have a shot. Here’s to your car and my car; may they never meet. And the most famous toast of all;—buttered toast. Old Gentleman—You are rather young to be left in charge of a chemist’s shop, my lad. Have you any diploma? Shop Assistant—Er—no, sir; but we have a preparation of our own that’s just as good. Two Hundred Two mmtmS A LIGHT TRAGEDY Every night along the highway the stately lamp-posts stand, Dignified, with lights uplifted, in an attitude that’s grand. But my heart is filled with sorrow as I watch their burners glow, For they used to be more friendly in the days of long ago. There are times that I remember when the lamp-posts used to weave In and out along the sidewalks in a way you’d scarce believe. There are times,—I recollect it—when they’d wink a shining eye And come over and embrace you, as you were passing by. If, by chance, your feet got tangled with a piece of paving stone Why a lamp-post, in those seasons, would come out and see you home. Just to show their human nature, if you spoke a trifle high Or a lamp-post didn’t like you, it would bung you in the eye. Oh, those dear departed evenings when the lamp-posts used to fling Up and down the empty highways, doing of a buck and wing; Ah, those happy early mornings, oh it was a wondrous sight Just to see those lamp-posts waltzing with the shadows of the night. Now they stand in rigid splendor, stern with majesty and awe; Stern and stately and unbending, by the passage of a law. And my heart is filled with sadness, and its cockles go unwarmed, For the joy has gone from living, since the lamp-posts have reformed. WHY STUDY The more you study The more you know The more you know The more you forget The less you study The less you know The less you know The less you forget. Two Hundred Four So Why Study? PERFECTLY SIMPLE The Total Stranger accosted the Friendly-looking Man and asked: “ Would you be kind enough to direct me to the home of Mr. Augustus Wimple? I am told he lives somewhere in this neighborhood.” “With pleasure,” replied the Friendly-looking Man. “Go down this street until you come to a house with a syringa vulgaris growing by the front gate. Turn left there and cross the street, going east until you see a large fagus grandifolia. Near it you will recognize an acer platanoides and here, if I may make a sug- gestion, you should be careful not to confuse it with the acer saccharinum. Three doors from there you will note a y; rd inclosed with ligustrum ovalifolium. You cannot miss it, because there is an especially fine example of the quercus rubra on the lawn, near an alba lacinita pendula, and there is quite a clump of diervilla amabilis hard by. To help identify the place, I might say that there is a planting of thuja, occidentalis compacta near the house, and the building itself is almost hidden under hedera helix.” Leo won’t be able to debate tonight. Why is that? Oh he sprained his tongue yester- day at the rehearsal. What’s that crowd doing at the dean’s office? They’re just waiting to see if they’re still collegiate. “What! You haven’t any spare parts for a car? And I thought this was a drug store! ” Two Hundred Five MEN AROUND TOWN Fleischman Fodeman Glassman Goldman Hackman I Taman n Kaufman Klayman Klugman Krautman Landman Lieberman Silverman and their children WHY I DIDN’T GO TO THE PROM My roommate borrowed my Tux. My roommate borrowed my car. My roommate borrowed my cash. My roommate borrowed my girl. God, how I love roommates! DOES ADVERTISING PAY Advertising has made the Victrola Dog famous. It has put Castoria down your throat, left bristles in your gums, and then came along with a Rubberset and took them out. It has put Sozodont, Pebeco and Pedsodent on your teeth. It has put a Gillette against your hayfield. It has put Murine in your eye, sold you Cuticure for pimples, Salts for the bath, and Ivory for the tub. It has put Arrow collars around your neck and Ingersolls around your wrist. It has jammed your feet in Holeproof sox, put Paris garters on your legs and Tiffany rings on your fingers. It has worn out your jaws on Wrigley’s and posted you on what to buy to cure corns, warts and bunions and ingrowing toenails. Go anywhere you want to, do anything you wish, and advertising has had a hand in it—absolutely. And then some people ask—“ Does advertising pay ? ” Matteson Johnson Hudson Gleason Abramson Two Hundred Seven oob ppe Good bye old friend, God bless you. Write—if you find time. I can't say much You understand—here Here’s my hand. In days gone by. we’ve had our fun With a smile we recall in those to come, The friends we’ve ,piade. And what we did. And where we spent our time. We’ve cracked the books, We’ve cursed the luck, We’ve grinned and growled together, And now at the end After two short years We part, we part forever. So this old friend is good-bye Write if you find time. T’m wishing you Luck and Happiness Good-bye, old friend, good-bye. Paul Geer, ’28 A Two Hundred Eight cknotoletigment Believe it or not, but there is a bit of sentiment connected with our college careers. It is with heavy hearts that the Phannakon 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 1928 Alembic Ph arm aeon 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 will 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!
