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. Twenty-eight

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.
