ALEMBIC PHARAAKON I Y C. LO tPcP I IHfiiiPIMI 0 a yn TaKe Our H«r ? c aither Twenty-six The Pharmaceutical Chemistry Section of the Class of ?31 In September of 1928, there appeared at the Albany College of Pharmacy, ten young men who wished not only to study Pharmacy, but to get a little broader knowledge of it and also of certain other subjects usually associated with Phar- macy. Therefore these men enrolled in the Ph.C. course, which gives, on gradu- ating the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist. This course prepares one to con- tinue studying along lines of Pharmacy and Chemistry, if he so desires, so that he may qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, and eventually win his degree of Doctor of Pharmacy. It was not long before the members of this class got the stride and swung into good hard work, and the marks showed it, for at the end of the first year the class had an average of over 80 per cent. The second year was a little more difficult, and while everyone worked hard, the average at the end of the year did not quite come up to that of the first year, although it was only about two points below it. The beginning of the Senior year saw a few changes in the ranks. Two men transferred to other colleges to take up other lines of study, and one went into the Ph.G. section. Another man who had graduated from A. C. P. several years before, joined the class. At the end of the first quarter of the Senior year the class made an average of 91.5 per cent, one of the highest class averages ever made in A. C. P. and one well worthy being proud of. Most of the men in the class arc going to continue their studies in Phar- macy, and several are going to Columbia to take the B.S. in Pharmacy, next year. The members of the Ph.C. and Ph.G. classes wish to take this opportunity to express their gratitude and appreciation for kind co-operation and help that they have received, both in scholastic and personal matters, from the Dean and the other members of the Faculty. Twenty-seven Three years ago we moved into the new College of Pharmacy, which is located on one of the most, beautiful sites in Albany. This certainly will he a memorable event in all of our hearts. We also brought with us that great leader, a very congenial personality, imbedded in the person of our own Dean. Through his untiring efforts, not only has he achieved great success for himself, but for all those with whom he has come in contact. The month of September brought the class of “31” swarming back to their beloved Alma Mater. It certainly was a great sight to see the hand clasping and back-warming that took place within the immaculate corridors of this great institution. The class of “31” not only have attained a high scholastic standing, hut they also have taken part in the social activities and sports. First came the election of officers in the Senior Class, which was accompanied by many heated arguments and compromises. Kenneth Hutchison was elected President, because of his untiring efforts, leadership, and pleasing personality. He had the capable assistance of Rudolph Pdythe, President of Pb.C. class. The basketball team, although getting off to a poor start, turned in a very good average at the end of the season. They were again coached by Joseph Kilcy.

Waldo ■ Fifty-one ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Junior Class History During September 1929, the Freshmen arrived at the Albany College of Pharmacy to begin their three years study in preparation for a career in Phar- macy. We were given a fine welcome in a get acquainted party which was held at McKown’s Grove. At this party we began making friends which will be forever lasting. It was here that many of us had our first taste of college life. The first few weeks were spent in getting accustomed to the routine of college life. Gradually we settled down to study our new and interesting sub- jects so that we could prepare ourselves for the career we had selected as our life’s work. During these first few weeks we became better acquainted with our fellow students and soon we were fast friends and were ready to cooperate with one another in order that we could derive the greatest benefit out of our three years of pharmaceutical studying. Soon the Freshman Class was organized and met to elect its leaders for the ensuing year. The University Section selected Edward Trainor to lead them in their activities. President Trainor carried on his duties to the best of his ability and did not neglect the trust his fellow students had placed in him. The big event of our college year was the “Freshman Flop” which was held in the College Auditorium. Members of the P'aculty and many Alumni attended. Our first formal dance will long he remembered by the members of the class. After the mid term exams the year passed quickly and the next September found us eager to get back for the second year of our studies. A few familiar faces were missed but we were thankful that the scars of battle were very few. Upon entering the office as Juniors we endeavored to put forth our greatest effort to make this our banner year and we did praiseworthy work even though we did not quite attain the goal. To lead this year’s work the College Section selected Peter Sidlowski as their class President and Joseph Waldo as their representative on the Student Council. Both officers did commendable work throughout the entire year and the Section was more than pleased with its selection for class leaders. On February 20, 1931 the Junior Prom was held in the College Auditorium and was stamped with the mark of SUCCESS, thanks to the untiring efforts of the several committees in charge and the hearty cooperation of the student body. The Auditorium was splendidly decorated and presented a beautiful spec- tacle amid the colored lights. The music was presented by an orchestra which delighted the dancers with snappy fox trots and dreamy waltzes. The Prom was greatly enjoyed by the Faculty, Alumni and students. The Junior class will long remember the dance as an outstanding feature of their college year. As our Junior year draws to a close we wish to thank the Faculty for their hearty cooperation throughout the year and to the graduating Seniors we wish abundant success. The Junior Ph.C. Section again elected Joseph Collins to carry on as Presi- dent. The class election was one of the most exciting events of the year. At the present time there are fourteen members in the Ph.C. Section. Although two men were lost during the year their places were filled from the Ph.G. ranks. Albert Pajak was elected Student Council representative. lie has served his class faithfully and well. In closing, we wish that the Senior Class will attain the success they justly deserve. We look forward to the making of new friendships and renewal of old ones in the Fall. Freshmen Class Officers Fifty-six ALEMBIC PHARAAKON PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMIST COURSE Louis C. Frank Edward F.

Zguris Fifty-seven Freshman Class History Slowly, stealthily, a little mouse gnawed his way out of the little hiding place that bright, cheery morning in September, 1930. He jerked nimbly back, however; he was bewildered. One—two—three seconds passed. Then he peered cautiously forth again. No, he had not been mistaken, for again seventy strange faces confronted him,. This sea of faces seemed to harmonize with that eventful autumn day. Also they were a bit timid, inexperienced and shy; that is, if he were any judge. As days sped on he made many discoveries. These pharma- copoeians of ’33 were fast becoming an organized class. Friendships were being made and the class seemed to have hitched its wagon to a star. To this interested creature these things came as no surprise. Had he not scented that meeting of the Dean and students after first quarter exams; seen the pretty, unobtrusive blue on the cards of the upperclassmen and the horrible, glaring red on those of the Freshmen; heard of that memorable class election? Those fiery, spirited nominations still rang in his ears He had witnessed that tall young man—who was it—Jimmy Mulholland, as chairman, conducting it. Alfred Wright, leader-elect of this splendid body of students; William Donahue, “Our Bill,” first Vice-President; that blond questioner, Henry Osterhout, second Vice-President; Marcelle Ostigny, unanimously chosen secretary; Roberts, treas- urer ; Loretta Flavin, selected to pen the class history; and lastly Ed Trainor, member of that ever essential Student Council. And the horrible fright he had received on that January night! lie would never forget it. From his calm slumber he had been awakened by queer sounds— indeed so strange were they that he had forsaken his favorite nightly haunt to investigate. Crowds thronged the illuminated halls. The wonder of wonders, however, was in the maroon and white decorated auditorium. There he could see a number of large, glistening instruments from which came fast, peppy tunes that set his tiny feet to dancing and sweet dreamy songs that fairly put him to sleep. As the strains of “Home, Sweet Home” faded away an evening replete with laughter, gaiety and enchantment ended. For the next and many a day gloom descended on the whole college. The dreaded mid-years had arrived. Students were weary and tired. Apparently that midnight oil had burned in vain for the newcomers. Gradually the exams faded, the gloom lifted and all was well—but for the time only. “I expected third quarters to be stiff and they were” was the vehement remark heard as the college door closed behind a number of freshmen on a certain spring day. But it was not all work, grind and disappointment. Many a time the obser- vant one had been roused by echoes of merriment. The good times, he knew, were practically always due to “Banjo Bill and His Pill Rollers.” ALEMBIC PHARAAKON The idea of organizing a College of Pharmacy originated with Mr. Archibald McClure, head of the firm of A. McClure and Co., wholesale druggists, Albany. He, with the assistance of Dr. Willis G. Tucker and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, and Mr. Charles Gibson of his firm, called a meeting on November 18, 1878 of the pharmacists of the City to consider the advisability of forming a pharmaceutical association with the view to establishing a school of pharmacy, to be conducted by the association. At this meeting a 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 Board of Governors of the University. At the annual meeting of this board held June 21. 1881, the Albany College of Pharmacy was created to constitute the Department of Pharmacy of Union University. A board of trustees was immediately appointed and the school incorporated as The Albany College of Pharmacy in conformity with the laws of the State of New York, August 27, 1881. The first faculty consisted of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher, President of the Faculty and Professor of Botany and Materia Medica; Dr. Willis G. Tucker. Secretary of the Faculty and Professor of Chemistry, and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, Pro- fessor of Pharmacy. The first lecture was given on October 3, 1881. The lecture room and laboratories of the medical college were used for purposes of instruction. In 1881 and for several years subsequent to that date four subjects only were taught namely—Botany, Materia Medica, Pharmacy and Chemistry. The course was of twenty-one weeks duration. Juniors attended five hours a week for twenty-one weeks, a total of 105 hours. Seniors attended three hours ALEMBIC PHARAAKON a week for twenty-one weeks, or a total of 63 hours. In the two year course a total of 168' hours of lecture and laboratory work was given. Owing to the death of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher in August, 1883, Dr. Alfred B. Huested was appointed Professor of Botany and Materia Medica and Dr. 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. Growth of the College under its Presidents Mr. Joseph W. Russell was elected president in 1881 and served until 1899. In 1890 the first Pharmacy Laboratory course opened in a loft on Beaver Street opposite the Knickerbocker Press building. Attendance was compulsory on Thursday and Friday from 2 to 5 P. M. for a period of ten weeks. In the Fall of 1893 the College acquired a new pharmacy laboratory in the loft of the Van TTeusen 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 (he Faculty conducted recitations for candidates preparing for the Slate Board Examinations. Mr. Charles Newman was elected president in 1904 and he served until 1916. In 1904 a State Law was enacted requiring all candidates for State Board examinations to be graduates of a College of Pharmacy. In 1905 the State Law required matriculants in colleges of pharmacy to secure a Pharmacy Student’s Qualifying Certificate based upon the completion Sixty-two ALEMBIC PHARAAKON 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. From 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. Plis 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 degree in conformity with the requirement of the Regents may be con- ferred by Union University.” Proceeding under the amended charter Sixty-thr.ee ALEMBIC PHARAAKON the Pharmaceutical Chemist Course was authorized by the Trustees of the college and approved by the P oard of Governors of Union University as meeting the requirements of the New York Statutes 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 (he site of the present Educa- tion Building. His business is now located at Steuben Street and Broadway. Tn 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 Master 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 laboratory 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 twenty-four 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 thousand seven hundred and forty-four hours of instruction are given in three years, one thousand six hundred and sixty-four hours of this time is devoted to laboratory practice. Sixty-four ALEMBIC PHARAAKON The subjects taught during the three year College Course are as follows: Materia Medica Department Botany Physiology and First Aid Botanical Taxonomy Histology Materia Medica and Toxicology Macroscopic Pharmacognosy and Posology Microscopic Pharmacognosy Bacteriology Chemistry Department Inorganic Chemistry Qualitative Analysis Elementary Physics Pharmaceutical Testing Organic Chemistry Quantitative Chemistry Quantitative Analysis—Drug Assaying Pharmacy Department Pharmaceutical Mathematics Pharmaceutical Latin Theoretical and Practical Operative Pharmacy Manufacturing Pharmacy Dispensing Pharmacy Commercial Pharmacy Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence The University Course The University Course, in addition to all the work of the three year College Course, includes German Civics English Laboratory physics Advanced dispensing pharmacy Sixty-five ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Advanced manufacturing pharmacy Advanced analytical chemistry Advanced mathematics Bacteriology Chemical urine analysis Microscopic urine analysis Union University confers the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist (Ph.C.) upon students of the Albany College of Pharmacy who successfully complete the three year University Course. Thirty-nine hours of instruction is «iven each week over a period of thirty- two weeks for each of the three years. The advanced lecture and laboratory instruction given in this course qualifies the recipient of the degree to fill such positions as food and drug chemists, analy- tical chemist, manufacturing pharmacist, and pharmacognosist with large manu- facturing, wholesale, drug and chemical houses. The Albany College of Pharmacy has to date eighteen hundred and ten graduates. This number will be rapidly added to because of the large classes now in attendance. It is the purpose of the Trustees and Faculty of the Albany College of Pharmacy to maintain an educational standard in keeping with the best traditions of the University and the advancements made in the several sciences taught.

Roberts Sixty-nine ALEMBIC PHARAAKON A Resume m Kappa Psi was originated at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Conn., May 30th, 1879, by F. Harvey Smith. The organization was entirely literary in origin and soon expanded into the institutions of Russell Military Academy, Cheshire Military Academy, Hillhouse High School and Yale College. The fraternity was carried into many medical schools by its members and was first reorganized at the Medical College of Virginia, School of Pharmacy, in December, 1879. In 1887 the academic chapters were discontinued and the fra- ternity placed on a strictly professional basis. Alpha Chapter or the “Grand Chapter” was first on the roll and has niet annually from 1886 to 1908 and since that time every two years. In 1907 Delta Omicron Alpha Medical Fraternity of Tulane University merged with Kappa Psi. Shortly after Phi Delta Medical Fraternity of the Long Island Hospital Medical College also merged. At the National Convention of 1926 it was decided to divide the medical and pharmaceutical chapters. The name of the fraternity was lengthened to Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. Beta Delta chapter was organized at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Union University, at Albany, New York, in the year 1910. It has occupied from its first inception a prominent place in the college and on the campus. The year 1930-31 has proved very successful. Despite a reduction in mem- bership, the fraternity average for the year has been excellent; a new house located on Mercer Street has been secured; many successful affairs have been held. Although we leave but a small number in the Fraternity, we trust that they will carry on—true to the tradition and ideals of Kappa Psi. Elmer J.

It has expanded since into 32 chapters. Alpha Theta Chapter was organized at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Union University on April 13, 1931. This chapter was formerly Epsilon Phi, Alpha Chapter. All of its members saw great possibilities if it became nationalized and exerted every energy to that end. Epsilon Phi has existed at the college since 1917 and during these many years the spirit of good fellowship, honesty andTrotherhood has lasted. In 1930 Theodore Rittershausen was elected president. His many ideas and his competence in carrying them out, has greatly strengethened the fraternity. Ted was ever a firm believer in the old maxim, “ What you can do today, do not put off until tomorrow.” On October 6, the fraternity held its annual smoker at the college. Professor Scharback honored us with his presence and surely put the fellows in a fine humor. Brothers Waldo and Canfield served refreshments. An interfraternity Dance with Kappa Psi was held at the latter’s House on November 14. I ate in February our president left for the Phi Delta Chi Convention in Cleveland to ascertain if Epsilon Phi was eligible for entrance into Phi Delta Chi. Two days later we received word that we were accepted. On April 13, an informal banquet was held at Westland Restaurant. Among the guests were Dr. Spease of Cleveland, Dean Mansfield, Professor Dewell and Mr. Frank Pond, Sr. of New York City. Many alumni also attended this enjoy- able affair. On that memorable evening of May 2, we held our annual formal at the Hampton Hotel. We have also enjoyed scholastic supremacy for the past five years; we feel sure that it will continue. We Remember Ted Ritterhausen “The Rock of Gibraltar” A firm mind and a ready wit. Joe Purcell Ex-President Joe ” A true leader and a great boy. John Sivak Our Competent Recorder” A scholar and a straight thinker. Chandler Cadwallader Lone Star Ranger A good student and a fine organizer Seventy-five Robert Montesano “Be Prepared” Another good student and friend of all. Sid Couch Who always stands out ” Sid has been popular and a genuine good sport. Jake Baurle “Student Council Jake” A happy, big hearted boy well liked by every one. We feel that a real brotherhood has existed and will continue as long as Phi Delta Chi is our fraternity. May our successors enjoy the same success as we have. Alpha Alpha Beta .

Beta, the next chapter to he given a charter was founded at the Albany College of Pharmacy in the spring of 1921. The fundamental aim of this fraternity is to create a spirit of good fellowship among the men. Beta’s first activity of the season was a smoker, semi-banquet fashion, held at Engleman’s restaurant October 12. Besides the usual eats, smokes and jokes, those present had the rare opportunity of witnessing a unique short farce staged by our talented actors, Weiner and Sloane. November 17 will always be remembered by fraters Schmuckler and Haber; for on that eventful clay, they were initiated into the ranks of Rho Pi Phi. The next big event was the first Eastern Conference held at the Hotel Astor in New York City. At this joint meeting the hoys from Beta were the guests of our Columbia, Fordham and Rutgers chapters. Needless to say the trip was enjoyed by all. Among the places visited were the Metropolitan Museum and several “art” centers of Broadway. On March 4, Morris Solomon was initiated into our folds. The biggest event of the year was Beta’s Formal in April. The Second Eastern Conference was held in conjunction with the dance. Beta was cer- tainly proud as host of the conference and showed the boys from the big town how sociable Albany can he. Elaborate plans are being discussed for our annual Formal Banquet in honor of the departing senior members. In reviewing the events of the past year, credit must be given to all the brothers for their untiring efforts and unflagging cooperation which made this a successful and outstanding year in the history of Rho Pi Phi. We wish to assure our graduating brothers that we will carry on the noble work of the fraternity in the true spirit of Rho Pi Phi.

Miss Edith Heath laid the foundation lor this national sorority which has since increased to fourteen chapters. Beta Chapter was chartered in 1919, at the Albany College of Phar- macy. After the graduation of 1930 Beta Chapter lost thirteen members. The sorority elected Kathleen Martin as President, and at the begin- ning of the new year, three new members were pledged. The formal initiation banquet was held January 8, at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel. This affair was a great success, and the annual Subscription Dance was held on April 10, 1931.

The present regime went into effect in the fall of 1930. The council is composed of the Dean, as chairman, the President, and one other representative from each class. Its function is to promote keener interest in pharmaceutical education and social activities of the College. The council has charge of the various social, athletic, and literary endeavors. Although the council was founded on liberal ideas and is only a year old, it has proved its worth and assured that its continuance will be a great asset to the College. m Eighty-seven The Alembic Fharmakon Board 4 Eighty Arthur E.

The Press Club whirlwind the Lambda Kappa Sigma dance also attribute their success to the boys in the band.

Hutman Faculty Advisor James W. McArdt.k Edit or-in-Chief From the time of the early Egyptians, when writing hieroglyphics on sheets of papyrus constituted the news of the time, we come down through the centuries and find an excellent piece of journalism in the American newspaper of today. When the constitution of the United States was compiled, ‘‘free press” was one of the great issues in its foundation, and so with us here at college. We have our own paper, a record of our school activities, bits of news concerning indi- vidual students, and articles pertaining to discoveries in the World of Science. The Mortar and Pestle, although founded but four years ago by Professor Hutman, has advanced rapidly since that time. Today we have a classified twelve- page paper together with an art cover, and, considering the appropriation allotted us, it is a great little periodical. But the student body must not be satisfied with this. The paper should advance year by year and be established as a leading Pharmacy College Journal. We want it recognized by other colleges and to this end the students must make a great effort, for it is their college and their paper. The faculty, also, should assist, for, aside from their interest in college activities, it is one of the best advertisements for the school. Twelve editions are produced during the course of the school year. We take this opportunity of thanking Professor Hutman for bis worthy assistance, and Professor Scharbach for bis contributions, which were enjoyed by all. To the Associate Editors, Joe Purcell, W. S. Geary and M. Daffner, we can only say that these are real newspapermen, and who knows but that a Ph.G. man may be a popular editor in a few years? The reporters have rendered an invaluable service in helping to compile the paper and to them we offer our sincere appreciation for their work. We thank also the entire student body for their contributions. Ninety-five I cS'Q io ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Bobby Burns in Washington Park Dr 9 William Mansfield Educator, Author and Pharmacognosist 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 record as a teacher reflects a steady advance, not an unexpected accom- plishment when one considers the training he underwent to cptalify himself for his future work. Graduating from the public schools at Wappingers 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 Asociation 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. In 1918 he severed his connection with the New York College of Pharmacy His Steady Advance Dean of Albany College Ninety-eight ALEMBIC PHARAAKON to become dean of the Albany College of Pharmacy, entering upon his new duties on July 1 of that year, and succeeding the late Dr. Willis G. Tucker, who had served as dean until his death. Dr. Mansfield’s training and experience 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 witlw ther institutions in the country which stand for progress and enlightenment. To quote the words of Assistant Commissionerd Augustus S. Downing, the college of pharmacy “has steadfastly 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, but for what is more important, perhaps, the protection of the public against service by incompetent men.” In addition to bis 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 Organisations In 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.—1 he Pharmaceutical Era, October, 1927. A Commencement Thourflit The class of Thirty-One has had its last meeting as a class, and will probably never meet again as a group. We have spent three years at A. C. P., and have completed our course in Pharmacy. Completed? No, rather we have just started studying. Our time here has given us a foundation to build on by experience. Some of us will do this well, some of us will do it poorly. Some will be successful, some will be less successful. Some will practice Pharmacy, while some will go into other vocations. Some will be happy and contented, and some will be less fortunate. These arc the paths that are followed by evjry graduating class, and these are the paths that we are destined to follow. Naturally none of us want to be unsuccessful, unhappy, or discontented, yet what we make of ourselves it is entirely up to us. Advice is easy to give but often hard to take, still there are a few bits of advice that arc so evidently good and helpful that we should all heed them. Life is full of ups and downs, cuts and hurts, insults and injuries. None of us will escape these things, so let us expect them. Let us learn to take the hard knocks with a smile. Learn not to feel peeved at those little things that may hurt our feelings if we allow them to. Let us not be fussy or grouchy. Grouchiness spells defeat. It puts one in a bad mood, and reflects discord on those with whom one comes in contact. Such a person is marked as one who is self-centered and irritable. No matter how successful he may be financially, he does not enjoy life, nor do many enjoy his company. On the other hand we have the cheerful person, who goes thru life emanating the joy of living, thereby making others cheerful. This makes many friends, sin- cere friends who enjoy having him in their company. TTe has learned to take life’s little blows. He knows that a cheerful frame of mind makes him happy, and also gives life a brighter aspect. This man knows that kind, cheerful words are just as easy to say as curt ones, yet gain so much more. Things are only what we make them, and we may all be cheerful and happy by being masters of our minds. There need be no worry unless we allow our- selves to worry; no discontent unless we allow ourselves to be discontented; no unhappiness unless we allow ourselves to be unhappy. We may go up or down the ladder of success, yet we can acclimate ourselves to new conditions, enjoy life, and be happy in different surroundings if we will it. Therefore, on going out into the world of life and business, let us strive for cheerfulness, and also self-control, self-sacrifice, self-respect, sincerity, tolerance, forgiveness and kindliness. “ Be master of your mind and you will be master of many things.” —F. N. P. One Hundred Somebody gave advice the other clay to this effect; Improve your work; Don’t change it. In other words if you are dissatisfied with what you have to do, see that you do it better. Don’t look for another job. This rule, of course, has many exceptions. There are times when we find ourselves to be a square peg in a round hole. We don’t fit. We must get a place in accordance with our taste and capacities. But the thing to do, is to see. that what we have to do we are doing well. It is easier to do work better than to change it. Many a man has dissipated all his energies and come to old age a failure simply because he has been constantly looking around for better conditions. Ideal conditions do not exist. The only job that is perfectly satisfactory is the one somebody else has. When we get to it and get to doing it we find that there arc limitations. If we make up our minds to overcome difficulties and stay where we are and also to make our job a better one by doing better, we shall as a rule be more content. The art of life after all is one of adjustment. There is no place where a man does not have to alter circumstances to suit himself. Those who are constantly looking about for some job that shall be ideal are dissapointecl. The discipline called forth in adapting ourselves to our present situation is good for us. One reason why there are so many unhappy marriages is that men, instead of trying to adapt themselves to the situation, are looking about for a new one. No man is put in the ideal family. It is as rare to find an ideal marriage, where everything seems to be made in accordance with our wishes, as it is to find a rose without thorns. There arc drawbacks to everything. Human life is not ideal. Indeed it is a poor stick whose ideal does not outrun his conditions. Therefore if we bend our energies toward making ourselves more adaptable to conditions instead of seeking conditions more adaptable to us we shall get along better in the long run. Even those who have to contend with such things as chronic sickness or an incurable disease, find that after all, a man’s spirit is tested by his power of adaptation. One Hundred One A girl who was born blind declared that she was perfectly happy. It is easy to inveigh against the limitations of blindness, hut the road to happiness consists of adapting one’s self to the inevitable. The inevitable encloses us on all sides in this life, as a man is enclosed by the walls of his room. It is better to accommodate one's self to those walls than to batter one’s head against them.

One Hundred Two 'oj ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Speak well of your friend, of your enemy neither well nor ill. Dead men open the eyes of the living. A bad agreement is better than a good law suit. He who would have no trouble in this world must not be born in it. Once in every ten years every man needs his neighbour. Tell a woman she is beautiful and she will soon turn fool. A man’s hat in his hand never did him airy' harm. ’Tis a bad house that has not an old man in it. A woman who loves to be at the window is like a bunch of grapes in a highway. He who spins hath one shirt, he who spins not has two. Eat after your own fashion, dress as others do. When the ship is sunk everyone knows she might have been saved. ’Tis a mark of great perfection to bear with the imperfection of others. What a man likes well is half accomplished. “ When you are all agreed upon the time,” said the Curate, “ I wrill make it rain.” Poverty is a blessing hated by all men. To an unjust government a martyr is more dangerous than a rebel. Death hath no other ills except the thought of dying. Who speaks of it commits it not. He who finds no money in his own purse is still less likely to find it in that of others. Pie who never boasts is esteemed at a third more than his value, if he is worth anything. He who i£ not impatient is not in love. Who threatens most is he who most doth fear. Who waits for time loses time. He who has the courage to laugh is almost as nujch master of the world as he who is ready to die. He who is lucky in love should never play cards. Love’s quiver is filled with arrows not with arguments. Any plan is bad which is not susceptible of change. The best way to get praise is to die. A wise man’s country is that one where he is happiest. Wise is the young man who is always thinking of taking a wife and never takes one. So very good that he is good for nothing. One Hundred Three Wherever people of today gather, one may very easily get into a heated debate over music, namely modern music vs. classical. There are of course those who will take extreme views on this subject, so let us see some of their arguments. The modern believes classical music boring and uninteresting. He hears certain classical pieces played, usually over the radio. He does not enjoy them very much, and would much rather listen to a good popular band. His argument will more than likely be that classical music has no rhythm, no swing, that the selections are long, and a great many «take a great deal of time getting all worked up to an ending, that he never knows when is coming. He hears a few pieces that he likes fairly well, and may hum or whistle once in a while, but the great majority are meaningless and the same to him. The classical fanatic, is usually dead set against jazz, and popular music of all sorts. It is to him a lot of blare and noise, beating of drums and discord, sensual and uncivilized. To him it is not music, to him it is meaningless. They are both right, and both wrong. Classical music is highly musical, it brings out the composer’s frame of mind, and his change of mood. We could never be without it. It has passed down from generation to generation. It is highly recognized and highly advocated by the best music authorities in the world. Classical music is art. A word for popular music. It is undoubtably the music of today. There are far more orchestras playing this type of music. Verily and far, more money made on it. Popular music has the power to change one's mood. It has rhythm. And it has music also. One may say that its popularity is not as long lived as classical music. True. But may this not be due to the age we live in. Years ago there were not the means to bring music to every one. Outside of the opera, band concerts and recitals, and perhaps individual playing, there was little or no way for people to hear new music. Therefore it took a long while for a piece to become popular, and as fewer songs were written then, their popularity was naturally of longer duration, and also more impressive, than the music of today. Now by means of the talking pictures, radio, and victrola, it is possible for a song to become popular, practically over night. If it is a hit, everyone is hum- ming it before the week is out. And as many songs arc published every week, and new hits constantly making their appearance, they do not stay popular very long, and therefore do not make as much of an impression as did the old songs. It is true, that some of the popular pieces use parts of classical music for their theme, but then this type of song seems to be in the minority. One Hundred Four ALEMBIC PHARAAKON It is likewise true, that, while many popular songs seem to have little musical value, and a good deal of rhythm, for they are mostly composed for dancing, let most of them be played in concert arrangement, and you will have music that compares very favorably with that of the classical type. Therefore let us be partial to both popular and classical music. Let us always relish and appreciate the beauty of classical music, but let us also bear in mind that in popular music we have music that is being written for present day demands,, namely dancing, and that this same music when played in concert style, is really classical. —F. N. P. Romance It was spring. The very air breathed romance. The birds sang, the trees swayed gently. Butterflies flitted lazily from one gaudy sweet scented flower to another. It was spring, and a young man's fancy was on thoughts of love. He was gazing intently into her eyes, beautiful blue eyes, like some deep, cool wood- land pool. She was gazing just as intently into his, lost in a rapture of heavenly bliss. Her silky light brown hair fell in graceful curling tresses about her dainty shoulders. Her lips, beautiful, enticing kissable lips, a sweet red cupid’s bow. Yes, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and here she was, so close to him. His dream girl, his ideal.. The look in her eyes was enchanting, a look that was crying out for him to press her in his arms and kiss her. But he, alas, was in a north bound train, and she in a south, and they parted, forever strangers. —F. N. P. The night of nights—a palm-filled, flower-scented ballroom—a blaze of light and color—formal gowns—a rhapsody of brilliant color—the. rich sombreness of immaculate evening dress—enrapturing strains of an inspired orchestra—a crowd of dancing couples—together—and yet— laughter and tears—hopes and shattered dreams—memories of the Junior Prom. One Hundred Five ALEMBIC PHARAAKON A WISE OLD MAN AWAITING THE TIME TO CONFER DEGREES Well, once again. Something pathetic about this thing Year after year. These youngsters— I wonder if they (?ver think How all of this is but the vestibule Into the school. The things that teach— Ah, well, and here they come. Children, cum laude. Bachelors of Art. Masters of things in books. Doctors tired out with theses. Philosophy? They’ll have one at the end. THE ONLY CURE If you don’t feel just right, If you can’t sleep at night, If you moan and you sigh, If your throat feels dry, If you don’t care to smoke, If your food makes you choke, If your heart doesn’t beat If you’re getting cold feet, If your head’s in a whirl— Why not marry the girl? One Hundred Six ALEMBIC PHARAAKON CONVOCATION A great bell chiming out the hour. A hush, and through the distant corridor, With stately music growing on the air, The long black robed procession: The candidates for bachelor’s degree, Among them some cum laude— For master’s, doctor’s hono . And then the very wise ones come With velvet bands on sleeves, And capes of scarlet, blue and gold. And here comes three in lordly robes Of cardinal, in foreign style, And golden-tasseled silken tarns. On, down the long, red-velvet aisle And up the crimson steps, All black and brilliant silhouettes Against a background Of purple splendor, age stained oak. And Gothic windows Where the sun shines grudgingly, Knowing he is no longer mystery. DO YOU FEAR THE WIND? Do you fear the force of the wind, The slash of the rain? Go face them and fight them. Be savage again. Go hungry and cold like the wolf, Go wade like the crane: The palms of your hands will thicken, Your skin and your cheeks will tan, You’ll grow ragged and weary and swarthy, But you’ll walk like a man!

Kiley Coach Robert A. Yehle Manager The Basketball Team that represented A. C. P. this year made a much better showing than the record gives them credit for. Although the number of defeats is somewhat greater than the wins the closeness of many of the games shows the boys deserving of much hard earned credit. The season opened with a fast, hard fought game with JOHN MARSHALL LAW, who edged out a 31-28 win. The next game saw our Rasketeers defeated by MORRISVILLE AGGTES in another close battle 29-27. The Lawyers who represented ALBANY LAW COLLEGE handed the boys a neat 31-15 trimming. ITHACA SCHOOL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION had a five point margin as A. C. P. saw its fourth defeat. With three games in one weekend ahead of them the boys left Albany and paid a visit to HART WICK COLLEGE who were the first to bow to A. C. P. 35-26. The next two games were not so profitable as MORRISVILLE again defeated us 31-15, and CORTLAND NORMAL took a 34-22 win. The next game CORTLAND returned to capture 29-22. ALFRED AGGIES suffered defeat at the hands of the boys 47-24. Then HARTWICK came to Albany to take a 32-19 beating. One Hundred Eleven ALEMBIC PHARAAKON On Feb. 28 the boys closed the season at New London, Conn., as they went down to defeat at the hands of the UNITED STATES COAST GUARD ACADEMY 42-22. Graduation again will take its toll. We lose Capello, Purcell, Dooher, Young, Heidel and Pond. With Coach Kilev and Manager Yehle and Assistant Managers Wright and Dygert working with the team, they succeeded in producing some excellent play- ers in Boynton, Kazel, Rafferty, Philo and Collins who will carry the brunt of next season. The Frosh didn’t set the world on fire but there is sonic good material in Donohue, Miekham, Zguris, Barnes, and Forbes, who did their best for their class. Record John Marshall Law College .31; A.

Much has been accomplished in the form of competition both interclass and with other colleges. The various representatives in each of the classes, Thomas Donahue of the freshmen, Leo Dygert of the juniors, and Iimedio Martorella of the seniors, have each done their share in bringing the candidates together for practices. It will be through their cooperation and labor that tenths will come up toward the top of our athletics. A tournament is expected to be run ofT with the idea of bringing out all available material. Thus a basis to work upon will be formed and the best team possible and one with enthusiasm will result. Among colleges and schools that will be listed for matches in the future will be State College, Albany High, Schenectady High, Union College and Albany Law. May tennis gain your support! mm mm One Hundred Thirteen ALEMBIC PHARAAKON JS Prof. F. A. Squires Faculty Advisor Harold DeVof. Manager Winding up the most enjoyable season the Pharmacy League has ever experienced, the final matches were held upon April 14. The Senior and Fra- ternity teams were exceptionally well matched. Not until the last game on the last night was the championship decided. The Frosh made a desperate last stand to “take” the Fraternity at least one game. So strong was the response that the Frat suffered defeat. The Seniors with a determination to wipe out the defeat of two previous years can safely answer any question as to who are the best bowlers of the college, by referring to a record of 45 wins to 15 losses during the year. Attendance at the alleys was remarkable, DeVoe and Young bowling the entire sixty games, closely followed by Serra, Lange, Schmuckler, Luizzi, Guida and Prof. Squires. The practice alleys were filled practically every night. Now just a word as to the champion bowlers. DeVoe ended the season with an average of 160-41 and the high game of 232. Baurle followed a dose second with 156-6 average and a high of 203. Serra or “Tuttle Caesar,” followed again with a 146-24 and a single of 213. Couch, though entering after the season, caught the spirit and came through with 138-27 and a high of 186. Pruner, the anchorman, usually came through in pinches with his triple finished on Couch’s tail with 137-19 with a high of 198. Blythe, our wonder man, who can roll 180 when necessary finished the season with 132-36 and a high of 192. Guida of the Juniors had a high triple of 568.

When he has finished writing the first question on the board, scribble furiously on your paper as though writing the answer. Keep this up until the fellow next to you quits writ- ing. Then put your hand on your forehead as if reading your own an- swer, while you in reality are reading the answer of the guy next to you. Put down his answer after the pro- fessor writes the next question on the board. Repeat when necessary.

Boss, I’s back!” Gaby—That musician said that the tune haunted him. Florence—Why shouldn’t it? lie murdered it. “See here, Blivensby, if you can't write a better theme, I’ll have to flunk you.” “I’ve always written like that. You wouldn’t want me to change my style, jvwould you?” Condo—(After exams.) — Well, Corp, how were the questions? Corp—The questions didn’t bother me. It was the answers. Notice on College Bulletin Board If the person who took my Chemis- try note-book will return it before exams, no questions will go unan- swered. Yo: How long does it take you to dress in the morning? Ho: ’Bout half an hour. Yo (bragging): Only takes me ten minutes. Ho: I wash. Policeman (to motorist who nearly collided): Don’t you know that you should always give half the road to a woman driver? Motorist: I always do, when I find out which half of the road she wants. One Hundred Twenty-six ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Father: When I was your age, son, I was glad to get dry bread to eat. Bright Five Year Old: You're much better off now that you are living with us, aren’t you, Daddy? “Why didn't you get your trousers pressed ?” “I couldn’t.” “Why ?” “Well, every place I’d come to would have a sign, saying, Trousers Pressed Inside.” “Well ?” “I wanted mine pressed on the out- side.” “Twenty yards for slugging,” said the referee. “Half off for pleading guilty?” asked the son of a famous lawyer. LaSalle: Are you doing anything for charity? Annex: Yes, I’m working for my father. “I’d like to study at Heidelberg.” “What the—” “Yes, they have some Schnapp courses there.” The English class was studying ex- position. The teacher assigned to Johnny the task of directing a stranger from the railroad station to the City Hall. When Johnny’s paper was handed in the teacher was greatly surprised at his attempt. She found the following: “Sorry, partner, but Im a stranger around these parts too.” According to what one of our most prominent profs says, the only way to make a freshman understand anything is as follows: 1. Tell him what you are going to say. 2. Say it. 3. Summarize what you said. 4. Write him a letter. “He’s just another Heat and Run r • • Lover, whispered Winnie as the bov friend left at ten thirty. Joke Editor: There’s something I’ve always wanted and never been able to get. Editor: That’s a laugh. Numb: What language does that toothless old sheik use? Dumb: Gum Arabic, I guess. “So he’s a musical cop.” “Sure thing. Why, he’s so musical even his bullets sing.” “What was that joke about that the prof told in class?” “I don’t know. Fie didn’t say.” The way students study today makes it possible for them to attend college and still have twenty-four hours left for amusements. Cap (in music store) : We are look- ing for a song that goes “Umpity Ta- Ump Zam Zam.” “What are the words?” Cap: “Those are the words, silly.” One Hundred Twenty-seven ALEMBIC PHARAAKON “I’m dragging a date to the dance tonight.” “G Richer girl ?” “Sure, got yours?” Jim: How did you even up with your chemistry professor? Zini: Oh, I handed him a hot retort. Revenue Officer: Sonny, I’ll give you five dollars if you'll show me where the still is. Kentucky Pride: All right! When is the five dollars ? R. O.: I’ll give that to you when we come back. K. P.: No, you better give it to me now, mister—you ain’t coining back. “TTey, Psycho, I bad another night- mare last night. How can T cure my- self of them?” “That’s easy—take eight grams of mercury bichloride every night just- before you go to bed.” Dean: Do you know why you are here ? Flippant Stude: 1 pass. Dean: No, you don’t. It is better to have loved and lost . . . much better. Assistant: I couldn’t find the leak on the eighth floor. janitor: Why didn't you look on the seventh floor? Assistant: Oh, that’s another story. A college graduate is one the can count up to twenty without taking his shoes off. “Do you play golf?” he asked of the simple but gushing maiden. “Dear me, no,” she bashfully re- plied, “1 don't believe I’d even know how to hold the caddie.’’ There's a Reason When you wonder why we don’t get some new jokes just remember that there are only seven jokes in the wide world and every paper in the country tries to get six of them every issue. A fool can always find a greater fool to admire him. The Prof, in bookkeeping asked: “If you were an accountant in a business house, and a fire occurred, what is the first thing you would do?” “Open a fire sale,” replied a student in the rear. Rlackie: “Have you two halves for one ?” Jake: “Sure, here they are.” Blackic: “Thanks.” Jake: Rut where’s the one?” Blackic; “I’m the one.” Prof.: The stupidity of this class is colossal. Stud.: No, Sir. it’s natural. The favorite mode of travel of the hoys is by “Thumb.” Prof.: Veeder, you can’t sleep in classes. Veeder: I discovered that a long time ago. ALEMBIC PHARAAKON One of the grads, asked his boss for an increase in salary. (Now try and figure this out—) “If you are worth it I will be pleased to give it to you. Now, let’s see what you do in a year? We have 365 days in a year. You sleep 8 hours a day, making 122 days a year-taking this away front 365 days leaves 243 days; you have 8 hours a day for recreation, making 122 days a year—taking this away from 243 days and it leaves 121 days; we have 52 Sundays, which you take off, leaves 69 days; you have 14 days for vacation, take this off you have 55 days left. You don’t work Saturdays afternoons, this makes 26 days, take this away and you have 29 days left; and you arc allowed 1 J hours for meals, making a total of 28 days; take this away and it leaves 1 day. And 1 always give you one of the national holidays off. So I ask you— ‘Are you entitled to an increase?’ ” Teacher: If a father gave nineteen cents to one son, and six cents to the other, what time would it be? Bright Pupil: A quarter to two. After dwelling for an hour on the parts played by carbohydrates, pro- teids and fats respectively in the up- keep of the body, the professor asked, “Now what three foods are required to keep the body in health?” And one young woman answered, “Breakfast, lunch and dinner.” They put bridges on violins to get the music across. “What does the professor of chem- istry get?” “Oh, about $3,000 a year.” “And the football coach—” “About $12,000 a year.” “Quite a discrepancy.” “Well, did you ever hear 40,000 people cheering a recitation in chem- istry ?” College Lad (arrested for speeding) —But, Your Honor, I am a college boy. Judge—Ignorance doesn’t excuse anybody! Teacher—Give me a sentence with a direct object. Pupil—You are pretty. Teacher—What’s the object? Pupil—A good mark. “Is your father a large man?” the teacher asked of little five-year-old Ted. After a moment’s thought he re- plied : “Well he’s just twice as big as I am because one pair of his pants will make two for me.” A teacher had l een instructing the children to say “double” whenever two of the same letter appeared together in a word. One day the class came to this sentence in their reader: “Up, up and see the sun rise.” Little Johnny read: “Double up, and see the sun rise.” He: What street is this? She: Belvedere. He: Oh, I didn’t know you had a Belvy Street here. One Hundred Twenty-nine Absent-minded College Professor (after date): We'll go on from here next time! A college graduate is a person who had a chance to get an education. When in doubt use Tragacanth. The “ Authority Man.” Tough breaks at a dance: “T have this one.” “Sorry I’m sitting this out.” “Too tired.” “Can’t leave the girl friend.” “I can’t dance.” “No spick henglise.” “It’s a nice ear and the dealer says I can have it for a song.” “Would you advise me to buy it?” “It all depends upon your eye for automobiles and his ear for music.” Universities must be very wicked places. Yes, yes, go on. Boys and girls under sixteen are not admitted. We dedicate the following songs to the faculty: “My Fate is in Your Hands.” “It All Depends on You.” “All That I’m Asking is Sympa- thy.” One Hundred Thirty UNION UNIVERSITY ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY University Heights, Albany, N.

For we feel obligated to live up to the confidence expressed by thirty-one leading schools and colleges for whom we created year books last year.

To withstand constant handling the covers are as sturdy as artistic. The type is clear, harmonious, balanced. A patented process makes it possible for us to produce cuts which retain all the pristine clearness of the original photographs. So well do we serve our schools that invariably the staffs have recommended us to their successors. It will be a pleasure to discuss with you the details of your next annual. The Brandow Printing Co.
