There was no blaring of trumpets, as we one by one, first slipped into Albany. Here we were—the Class of ’37, proudly cherishing the intention to become bene- factors of mankind, as pharmacists. In addition, our families understood and we professed to know, how the democratic give and take of a college was valuable in itself. Some of us were cognizant of the fact that our minds might also, become more acute, more systematic and hence more useful than ever before. Quietly and with little ado we found quarters, registered and became embryo pharmacists. After the first few bewildering weeks had passed, we swept into the life of A. C. P. The new found friendships, the smokers, the fraternities, and the dances all tended to make our first year one of pleasant memories. Our class soon became more formidable with the election of our first officers. They were: President, Ned Calvi; First Vice-President, James Meagher; Second Vice-President, Sylvia Evenchick; Treasurer, Walter Pangburn; Secretary, Marie Vallee; Historian, John Crowe; Student Council, Irving Newton. Perhaps the greatest success of the year was the Freshman Hop. Various activities soon claimed members of our class. Fraternity pins were proudly displayed by a certain few; others interested themselves in athletics while some sought scholastic honors. The year ended abruptly with the final examinations and we left the halls of A. C. P. to enjoy our summer vacation. The second year seemed short. Our class had been weeded by the authorities until we seemed a mere skeleton of our former self. Much of the glamour was gone but still we were determined to make this year a successful one and to accomplish this we knew that we must study hard. We paused briefly to enjoy the greatest social event of the year—the Junior Prom. The soft lights, the dancers and the music are but hazy memories. Much of our success was due to the following officers: President, George D’Annunzio; First Vice-President, Albert Weinberger; Second Vice-President, Walter Pangbum; Secretary’, Aldona Gudzis; Treasurer, Marshall Burns; Historian, John Watts; Student Council, living Newton. We had proceeded one step nearer our goal. gUemtuc $f)armakon We returned for our last year at A. C. P. with the sober realization that this was to be the last year in an environment which wc had grown to love. We were saddened by the thoughts that our days were numbered and we made vows to drink in as much of the spirit of the place as we could in the space of one fleeting year. Our class officers were: President Edward Wolff; First Vice-Presi- dent, Irving Newton; Second Vice-President, John Watts; Secretary, Albert Wein- berger; Treasurer, Donald Howard; Historian, Julius Baltch; Student Council, George D’Annunzio. The social events of our three years were climaxed by the Senior Ball which was a huge success. It is now nearly over; all over but the memories. The three years have served to open some eyes and to disclose new vistas to the more fortunate. For one and for all, A. C. P. has made some impression, some mark, some contribution to our lives. All obstacles have now been removed from our path. The road to our future success is now open. Knowing what ought to be done will not bring perfect results. Action must drive ambition; the nail is useless without the hammer; courage is the complement of knowledge; we have the knowledge, now— Good Luck, Seniors. Julius Baltch, Historian. gUemtnc iPfjarmafcon Julius Joseph Baltch, K P “Baltch” Binghamton New York “Indulge, and to thy genius freely give. For not to live at ease is not to live.” Class “Tarzan” or our contribution to the grunt and groan business. His great strength is exceeded only by his good nature. Basketball (1, 2, 3) ; Bowling (3) ; Handball (1, 2, 3) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Historian Senior Class; Baseball (1, 2, 3). Marshall France Burns “Marsh” Rensselaer New York “He that bears himself like a gentle- man, is worth to have been born a gentle- man.” Of recognized ability and proven friendship we entertain no doubts over a very bright future for “Marsh”. He always managed to get to classes, rain or snow and seldom “cut” a lecture. Freshman Hop Committee (1); Treasurer of class (2) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Alembic Pharmakon (3). James Anthony Golfer, K'P “Jim” Albany New York “Strong reasons make strong actions.” “Jim” lived in a twentieth century existence of accelerated schedules. A fine fellow and a hard worker. His late arrivals to classes seldom failed to cause some amusement. Junior Prom Committee (2); Rifle (1); Base- ball (1) ; Senior Ball Committee (3). Twenty-seven gUemtuc $fjarmakon John Starr Crowe, K I “Johnny” Hamilton New York “If little labor, little are our gains, Man’s fortunes are according to his pains.” The “middle man” of the famous laboratory tabic of Golfer, Crowe and D’Annunzio. lie com- bines a friendliness and a sense of humor with a determined nature to accomplish whatever he sets out to do. Alembic Pharmakon (1, 2, 3); Editor-in-Chiej (3); Historian of Class (1); Junior Prom Com- mittee (2) ; Orchestra (1, 2, 3) ; Rifle (1). O. George D’Annunzio, 4 AX “George” Schenectady New York “Run, if you like, but try to keep your breath; Work like a man but don’t be worked to death.” “George” has struck the happy medium of doing some work and having a good time occasion- ally without having the two overlap. He managed to answer Golfer’s questions throughout the greater part of three years and was the pilot of the “Schenectady Special.” President of Class (2); Student Council (3); Manager of Baseball (3) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Basketball (1, 2, 3); Alembic Pharmakon (3) . Edward A. De Persis “Eddie” Binghamton New York “What is ambition, but desire of great- ness. And what is greatness, but extent of power.” “Eddie” exhibits a smooth exterior, both in manner and speech, coupled with a driving force so necessary to accomplish desired ends. He always succeeded in mussing up D’Annunzio’s hair every morning for three years. Basketball (1, 2, 3); Manager (3); Bowling (2, 3); Baseball (1, 2, 3); Freshman Hop Com- mittee (1) ; Alembic Pharmakon (3). Twenty-eight gUembtc iPkarmakon O Sylvia B. Evenghick, AK2 “Sweetie Pie” Albany New York “Deliberate with caution, but act with decision. And yield with graciousness or oppose with firmness.” Sylvia’s escapades in the “labs” have been numerous where she was the target for many of the boys' jokes and puns. She always had a come- back and her ready smile will be missed. A devout student and intensely interested in her profession. Class Vice-President (1); Junior Prom Com- mittee (2) ; Tennis (1, 2) ; Bowling (3). Leslie C. Faris, t AX “Les” Gloversville New York “Knowledge is that which truly and essentially raises one man above another.” “Les” joined us our last year and by his sin- cerity and wit became one of the most popular members of our class. A conscientious student and true friend, we feel he is bound to be a success. President of Class (2); Bowling (1, 2, 3); Basketball (1, 2, 3) ; Baseball (1, 2, 3) ; Handball (1, 2, 3); Histology Prize (2); Student Council (2) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Alembic Phar makon (3) Freshman Hop Committee (1). Leon Herman Ginsberg “Ginsy” Saratoga Springs New York “That which we acquire with the most difficulty, we retain the longest.” “Ginsy” never failed to sprawl over at least two chairs in Manufacturing Lecture. A likeable fel- low, possessing a variety of moods—at times he would appear carefree and jolly and then again he would be sullen and glooim. We wish him good luck in his business ventures. Basketball (1, 2, 3) ; Bowling (1). Alembic iPbarmakon Aldona Marion Gudzis, AK2 “Alda” Amsterdam New York “Frame your mind to mirth and merri- ment, Which bars a thousand harms and lengthens life.” To observe her attitude of nonchalance and sometimes sheer boredom, one could never guess that she is one of our honor students. She always was the first one out of examinations. Every noon her laugh could be heard ringing through the building as the handball workouts were conducted. We believe success for her is inevitable. Secretary of Class (2) ; Bowling (3) ; Tennis (1, 2) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Handball (3). Donald Evers Howard, “Don” Schoharie New York “A gentleman has ease without famili- arity, is respectful without meanness, genteel without affectation, insinuating without seeming art.” “Don” aptly portrays the words—“a real guy.” lie is a man of ability and one of the best dressers in college. His sporty cars arc well-known around Albany and points east. A true friend who always was ready to lend a helping hand. Treasurer Senior Class (3) ; Honorable Mention for Physiology (1); Senior Ball Committee (3), Junior Prom Committee (2). Joseph Klein-, PII 1 “Joe Schenectady New York “Honors achieved far exceed those that are created.” A conscientious student and a silver-tongued orator. “Joe” always enjoyed a good class argu- ment in which he was usually an active participant. If success bears any relation to hard work, he will make good. Handball (1, 2, 3); Bowling (1) ; Junior Prom Committee (2). Thirty lembtc tarmafeon Irving Charles Lippman “Honey” Albany New York “The great end of a good education is to form a reasonable man.” “Honey” has an abundance of pharmaceutical experience which we all envy. His conviction that he is right until proven wrong, often lead him into many an active fray. These attributes, alone, should take him far in the field of pharmacy. Basketball (2); Junior Prom Committee (2). Richard Stewart Mance, K'P “Dick” Liberty New York “Good humor is the health of the soul; sadness its5 poison.” Our “Dick” has an easy going manner. He is witty and adept at repartee. An athlete and a student, possessing a keen and ready mind, and was always able to smile in the face of the sever- est obstacles. Keep smiling, “Dick” and good luck. Bowling (1, 2, 3); Secretary of Class (1); Basketball (1, 2, 3) ; Handball (1, 2, 3). Donald Crossman Morris, K'P “Chink” Kingston New York “For they can conquer who believe they can.” “Chink” is the class “crooner”. Every Christ- mas he led the boys in the singing in the Smok- ing Room. A likeable fellow who worked hard and at the same time managed to acquaint him- self with a good share of our fair city. The duo of Morris and Howard will be missed. Chairman of Senior Ball (3); Bowling (1, 2); Freshman Hop Committee (1); Rifle (1); Junior Prom Committee (2). gllembtc fjarmakon C Edward Irving Moses “Ed” DeKalb Junction New York “Ability wins us the esteem of the true men; luck, that of the people.” Quiet and unassuming, “Ed” was the mainstay of the Bowling team for three years, lie is sincere in his undertakings and well-liked by all. “We know that we shall all miss “Ed”, He’s not the man he used to was, He came to town so coy and shy But how he’s changed—oh me, oh mv !” Bowling (1, 2, 3); Manager (3); Handball (1, 2, 3) ; Baseball (I); Rifle (1). Irving Howard Nf.wton “Irv” Webster New Y’ork “I hate, to see a thing done by halves; If it be right do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.” “Irv” deserves much credit for working his way through college. A strong, silent man of mystery, firm in his convictions and also steadfast in his devotion Yes? Student Council (1, 2); First Vice-President Class (3); Basketball (2); Bowling (1, 2, 3); Handball (1, 2, 3). William Edward O’Brien, K'J' “Bill” Corinth New York “A merry heart goes all the day, A sad tires in a mile.” Big and strong, no obstacle is too great for “Bill”, who always can see the sunny side of things. Possessor of a pleasing personality and a witty mind. Acquired the reputation as quite a “man about town.” We entertain no doubts as to his future success. President of Class (1); Bowling (1, 2, 3); Basketball (1, 2, 3); Freshman Hop Committee (1); Senior Ball Committee (3). Hlembu pijarmakon D Walter Lynn Pangburn, J AX “Walt” Onconta New York “However brilliant an action, it should not be esteemed great unless the result of a great motive.” The “number one man” of the Pangburn, Watts duo. Wherever you saw “Walt” you were bound to see Watts. “Walt” is intensely interested in his chosen profession and a worthy representative. He was active in athletics, social affairs and his fraternity. Treasurer of Class (1); Bowling (1, 2, 3); Orchestra (1) ; Vice-President of Class (2) ; Freshman Hop Committee (1) ; Basketball (2, 3) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Alembic Pharmakon (3); Rifle (1). Theodore Ernest Scharmach “Ted” Utica New York “Rocks have been shaken from their base. But what shall move a firm and dauntless mind?” “Ted” has had considerable pharmaceutical experience. He is a modest student, congenial and a hard worker. Nothing ever seemed to bother him as he maintained his calm and poise. He intends to work in a hospital as a pharmacist. Good luck, “Ted”. Freshman Hop Committee (1); Orchestra (1); Senior Ball Committee (3). Maurice Charles Turner “Turner” Keeseville New York “Speak little and well, if you wish to be considered as possessing merit.” We never heard much from “Maurice” but we always felt he could be depended upon. He maintained a high standard of work through- out his three years. We often marveled at his cairn, collected manner. His temperament is ideally suited for a pharmacist. Thirty-three Alembic $barmafcon 4 Marie Agnes Vallee, AK2 “Toots” Troy New York “A light heart lives long.” Our little French miss, is very conscientious about her work and plans to go further in the field of pharmacy. This year she became adept at both bowling and handball, in addition to maintaining a high scholastic standing. “Marie’s” ready smile and charming manner should aid her in all of her undertakings. Class Secretary (1); Bowling (3); Handball (3); Junior Prom Committee (2); Tennis (1, 2). John Prichard Watts, $AX “Johnny” Maybrook New York “A man he seems of cheerful yester- days and confident tomorrows.” “Johnny” liked nothing better than to sleep through at least three lectures a day, yet his work was always prepared. He seemed to be able to accomplish a great deal with very little effort. His spontaneous wit has often afforded us many laughs. Freshman Hop Committee (1); Class Historian (2) ; Second Vice-President Senior Class; Orch- estra (1); Junior Prom Committee (2); Alembic Pharmakon (3). Albert Weinberger “Al” Schenectady New York “Happiness is no other than sound- ness and perfection of mind.” “Al” is a member of the “Schenectady Gang” and well-known for his likeable manner and ready smile. He was the hero of the day when he held his hand over the fire-alarm box to keep it from ringing. One of the friendliest fellows in the class and a hard worker. The Best of luck, “Al”. Handball(1, 2, 3) ; Vice-President of Class (2); Secretary of Class (3) ; Junior Prom Committee (2) : Basketball (2). Thirty-four Hlemfnc fjarmakon Solomon Werlin, Pn J “Sol” Troy New York “O! as a bee upon the flower, I hang Upon the honey of thy eloquent tongue.” “Sol” is the hardest working member of our class. He deserves much credit for his studious manner, and his marks show the results of his labors. An honor man for three years—Keep it up, “Sol”. Junior Prom Committee (2); Handball (1); William II. Rogers Memorial Prize (2). John Loeffler Wilson, K'P “Jack” Greenwich New York “He is so full of pleasant ancedote; So rich, so gay, so poignant in his wit, Time vanishes before him as he speaks, And ruddy morning through the lattice peeps Ere night seems well begun.” “Jack” possesses scholarly qualities mixed with a sense of humor so keen that it permits us to look through the student and see the man. His wit kept his Kappa Psi boys roaring with laughter. You’re bound to be a success “Jack”. Baseball (2, 3); Orchestra (1, 2, 3); Director (2); Bowling (1, 2); Handball (1); Freshman Hop Committee (1); Junior Prom Committee (2) ; Senior Ball Committee (3). John Edward Wolff “Ed” Corinth New York “Time, place and action may with pains be wrought, But genius must be born and never can be taught.” “Ed” fits the Browning idea of “the best is yet to be”—an ambitious student and true friend. Whatever question was asked, “Ed” never failed to give the correct answer. A worthy representative of our profession. He hopes to go farther in the field of learning. Handball (1, 2, 3); Manager (3); Rifle (1); Bowling (1, 2, 3); Charles Gibson Memorial Prize (2); Histology Prize (2); President Senior Class; Student Council (3). Thirty-five 3 —5 Alembic fjarmafeon C- James Charles Wright, K'k “Jim” Ghestertown New York “When we shall have succeded, then will be our time to rejoice and freely laugh.” “Jim” is a modest fellow but a hard worker and a real friend. He never got used to the uncom- fortable lecture seats in Bender Laboratory. If success bears any relation to hard work—“Jim” will make good. Rifle (1); Junior Prom Committee (2); Hand- ball (1). In ’thirty-four, new Freshman came And thought they were in heaven. And now their goal of dreams is near-—- The class of ’Thirty-Seven. And now as Seniors they have won Much honor and esteem Their greatness is renowned in class, Society and team. Tho’ soon they plunged with strengthened stroke, Into life’s restless stream, Yet ’oft to A. C. P.’s hall They shall return in dream. .IJmttnra o lemtuc $f)armakon Front row, left to right—Clark, MacCollam, Coughlin. Back row, left to right—Bellew, Templeton, Aumiller, Sloan.

Alembic Slemtuc Pfjarma on D Sumor Class $ptstor| Far hack in the fall of 1936, a Junior Glass pitted its forces against those of Education’s. Our first year as Freshmen had been eventful and bewildering, but with Kenneth Mac.Collam as President; Donald Templeton as First Vice- President; Ilenry Aumiller as Second Vice-President; Mary Coughlin as Secretary; Donald Bellew as Treasurer; James Sloan as Historian; and Frederick Clark as Student Council Representative, we determined to forge ahead, contemplating a successful year. After doing away with our first quarterly examinations and upon hearing about them from home, we realized we were up against something new and different from the general fundamentals of our first year. But we cast the results aside, keeping in mind Omar’s words—“Silence, Triumph or Despair.” The music at the Junior Prom soon sent our fears whirling as we danced into the wee hours of the morning under a canopy of intertwined decorations. A notable night of the year. Need more be said? Months ensued while the Midyears passed and finally the third quarter exami- nations were reconciled to the past. At this time the Spring vacation was welcomed by all. The last few weeks were marked by headaches and nervous indigestion as the midnight hours were spent in intensive study in preparation for the finals. Time is about to write “Finis” in another chapter of our lives as students of A. C. P. and we face, undefeated, the prospect of a summer vacation returning in the fall as Seniors. James D. Sloan, Historian. Slemfitc $fjarmakon Frank Aprley Squires We, the Glass of 1937, the Junior Class, the Freshman Class, the Faculty and Alumni of the Albany College of Pharmacy wish to ex- press our appreciation to one whose years of service and endeavor in our behalf have evoked our respect and admiration. As a member of the Faculty and as a friend, he will long be remembered by all who knew him. We wish him every success in his future undertaking. iemfrtc $J)armakon Front row, left to right—Eigo, Coleman, Sweeney.

On the morning of September 21, 1936, forty-three young men and women bent upon securing a pharmaceutical education, arrived at tiie Albany College of Pharmacy. After the usual formalities of enrollment they proceeded to inspect their surroundings and to become acquainted with each other. A memorable first day impression was the friendliness shown by the faculty and upperclassmen. With this outlook in view we settled down to the serious business of becoming pharmacists. By the end of the first quarter examinations we all felt quite at home, as we participated in the various college activities. The social activities got under way with the Freshman Hop in the college auditorium, held in November. Our class officers who guided us through our first year were: President, Marhlon Coleman; First Vice-President, Darwin Chapman; Second Vice-President, Philip Honikel; Secretary, Rita Sweeney; Treasurer, Donald Wager; Historian, Nan Eigo; and Joseph McCann, Student Council Representative. Upon return from our Christmas vacation we were faced with our first real obstacle—the Midyear exams. To our amazement these were disposed of quite easily and the weeks rolled by as we became firmly entrenched in the traditions of A. C. P. The Class of ’39 now looks back upon a year filled with scholastic, athletic and social activities and with pleasant memories of our associations with fellow students. It looks forward to two more years of college life in our beloved institution. Nan Eigo, Historian.

Beta, its second chapter was formed in 1921 at our own college. This fraternity was organized by a fraternal-minded group of students and dedi- cated to the ideals and character of the immortal Maimonides. This year’s activities opened with the annual Smoker which was held in October in the college. Beta chapter had the honor to act as host at the annual Regional Conference which was held at Jack’s restaurant and which was a great success. The outstanding social event of the year was the annual Formal Dinner Dance in May. The new men initiated into Bela Chapter this year, Abe Kupperberg, Ray Leibman, In'. Margolis and Ben Wolf have proven themselves worthy to carry on the best ideals of our fraternity. As another year draws to a close, we bid our Senior brothers farewell with best wishes for success and happiness with the assurance that the spirit of Rho Pi Phi will be carried to even greater heights.

Alpha Theta was founded at the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1931, and since that time has been prominently active in all college activities. The opening of college saw the return of six active members with Brother “Walt” Pangburn as President. Social activities were officially opened with our “Welcome Freshman” Smoker held in September in the college. In December, six candidates were initiated, namely: Brothers David Madsen, Carl Randall, Louis Comenzo, Anthony Mastriani, Paul Sivak and Darwin Chap- man. Our annual Formal Dance which was held at the DeWitt Clinton, was well attended by members and alumni. Alpha Theta was also represented at the National Convention held in February at Indianapolis by Walter Pangburn and Donald Bellew. Now as the curtain falls on the 1936-37 school year, Phi Delta Chi wishes the members of the graduating class success and prosperity in all their undertakings.

The organization was the first Greek letter society established in the colleges of Pharmacy in the United States. It is strictly a phar- maceutical fraternity which limits its chapters to colleges of Pharmacy holding membership in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. This year Regent Wilson and the active members found it impossible to suc- cessfully continue the maintenance of an official Kappa Psi house. However, it is hoped that next year, due to the successful pledging of many new members, a house will once again be in operation under the Kappa Psi banner. In December, 1936, Brothers Donald Barth, Carleton Hovey. Ronald Kernahan, Alton Mousaw, George Papastrat, Peter Papastrat, Joseph McCann, and Donald Wager were added to the list of active members. Beta Delta Chapter, largely through the efforts and dynamic leadership of Regent John Wilson, has contrived to complete a very successful year. In October the annual Smoker was held at the school at which about forty members and guests were present. The Formal Dance which was held in April was a brilliant affair, attended by many Graduate members. The activities for the year were terminated with the annual Banquet which was held in May. The Chapter wishes to thank Brother Francis J. O’Brien for his untiring efforts on behalf of our fraternity. The wheels of time are about to take from us our collegiate membership and in its stead confer upon us a Graduate membership. In leaving, we hope that we have satisfactorily lived up to the traditions handed down to us by previous Brothers and that our example will transmit to future Brothers of Kappa Psi a similar spirit of good fellowship, loyalty and en- deavor.

The Alembic. The following year it was published as The Pharmakon. A few years later, in 1920, it assumed the name of The Alembic Pharmakon, which name it has retained up to the pres- ent time. This College Annual features the events of the college, including the activities of the student body as a whole and of the individual groups and classes. It is treasured by the members of the Senior Class as a valuable memento of their col- lege days. At this time “The Staff” wishes to express its utmost appreciation to Professor Larkin whose untiring efforts on behalf of this publication have been instrumental in its success. Each year The Alembic. Pharmakon has been published under his influential guidance. And now, we wish to welcome Professor Reed as our new advisor and wish him future success. In addition, we wish to express our appreciation to members of the Senior, Junior and Freshman Classes who have so generously and willingly devoted their time and interest to the successful realization of this Annual. “The Staff” gllembtc fjarmafeon Seated, left to right -McCann, Dean Mansfield, Mac.Collam.

The Council, which consists of the president of each class, a representative of each class, and Dean Mansfield, considers all curricular and extra-curricular acti- vities which arise out of the school year. To date, the Council has readjusted the school budget, set the dates for the formal dances, favored removal of the telephone pay booth, and has ably decided major issues which have thus far arisen. In its work the Council has been very efficiently and sagely advised by the Dean, Dr. William Mansfield, and by the faculty of the college. The Student Council wishes to take this opportunity to express its apprecia- tion and thanks to Dean Mansfield, to the faculty of the college, and to all those who have contributed their whole-hearted co-operation to insure a successful administration for its governing body. G. George D’Annunzio, Secretary Sixty-two Alembic fjarmafeon QTlje lljanp College oi barmacp The Association of the Alumni of the Albany College of Pharmacy was organized March 5th, 1883. The Association was founded with the object in mind to foster and promote the interests of the Albany College of Pharmacy in the work of Pharmaceutical Education, and to cultivate social intercourse among the Alumni. The membership consists of all graduates of the College and such honorary members as may be elected by the Association. The Association boasts of 2,147 members as the total number of graduates, the names and addresses of which are known are 1,582; addresses unknown, 425; and deceased, 140. A committee is now functioning to bring the addresses up to date. The Annual Reunion and business meetings are held dur'ng Commencement Week. At the last meeting, which was held in June, 1936, there were present a large number of graduates. There w'ere members present representing classes from ’91 to ’36. It was indeed a happy occasion; old memories brought back by the sight of former College chums, rejuvenated the old Alumni and drew back the curtain of Time once more, to view the glorious College days of years long past. It was a touching, yet inspiring spectacle. We sincerely hope that more and more Alumni will appear at the future meet- ings, for we arc glad to welcome them and to revive old memories of the past before the hand of Time reaches out and takes us, one by one to that grand old place where reunions arc everlasting and perpetual and earthly cares and worries are for- gotten on the wings of a new life.

Sixty-six John Crowe. lembtc $fjatmakou JBecabe m iptjarmacp The issuing of the United States Pharmacopoeia, Eleventh Revision, and the National Formulary, Sixth Revision, marked the passing of another decade in Pharmacy. It also marked the passing of the three-year course at the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy. Many years have passed since the Board of Governors of Union University met on June 21, 1881, and created the Albany College of Pharmacy. It was incor- porated as the “Albany College of Pharmacy” on August 27, 1881. The sixteenth course of lectures was opened on October ’ , 1896, and closed March 16, 1897. During this period a class of sixty were in attendance. At this time the lectures, laboratories, and recitations were held in the Albany Medical College building, on Eagle street. The only requirement for entrance was a grammar school certificate or the applicants were required to pass a preliminary examination before being admitted to the regular course of lectures. The annual course then consisted of six or more lectures each week during a period of twenty-three weeks for two years. All the lectures were held every week day evening at eight o’clock, except one which was on Saturday at two o’clock. There were two classes, constituting a Junior and a Senior class. The Senior class lectures were held on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings; the Junior class lectures on Tuesday, and Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons. Before graduation each Senior was examined by a special board representing the trustees of the college. These examinations were oral and conducted with a view to ascertain the practical fitness of the student for his future work as a pharma- cist. The usual degree of Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.) was conferred upon the graduates who were required to be at least twenty-one years of age, of good moral character, have attended two full courses of lectures and have had four years’ practical experience in a recognized pharmacy. A Certificate of proficiency was given all students w-ho successfully passed all the general examinations but who had not fully complied with all conditions es- sential to graduation. Sixty-seven lemfctc fjarmafcon In 1882, the first graduating class was composed of three members namely: Griffith, Albert Richard, Griffith Co., 2241 Third Ave., New York City, N. Y.; Kreutzer, Gustave, 13 Chauncey St., Brooklyn, N. Y:; Phillips, John Spencer. In 1883, the number had increased more than two-fold to ten, in 1884 thirteen were graduated and in 1891 a new high was reached when twenty-four embryo pharmacists received their Pli.G. These classes look small and insignificant compared with the graduating classes of more recent years when there was a decided upward trend in the number of students studying the profession of phar- macy. It is interesting to note that from this period on there was an era of de- cline in the number of students graduating from the Albany institution, yet in the fall of ’36 the cycle again swung upward when forty-five Freshmen matriculated. This would seem to indicate that interest in pharmacy is increasing. In fact the outlook is indeed a pleasant one, as we see steps being taken to elevate the standard of pharmacy, by the introduction of the four year course in the fall of 1937. However, as we view the passing of one decade, we can but w'onder what the passing of the next decade will bring for the profession of pharmacy.

Due to the splendid financial co-operation of the student body, a team was once more able to represent our college in the popular “pass, dribble and shoot” game. The squad which reported at the first practice in January showed much promise and natural ability. The serv ices of Mr. Harry Allan, former Col- gate court star, were obtained to mold this aggregation into a winning five. Build- ing his team around his two Senior stars, “Eddie” DePersis and “Les” Faris he soon had a fast, well-balanced group of cagcrs ready to launch a successful court campaign. However, due to the late organization of the sport, some difficulty was experi- enced in scheduling games. The season opened with a game with Albany Collegiate Center on January 16, in our own gymnasium. Although the team dropped this decision by the score of 26 to 18, it was a close fought battle and the team made a good showing for the first game. The starting lineup consisted of DePersis, Faris, Mullady, Sivak and Comenzo. DePersis was high scorer for the losers, garnering 9 points. Tentative games were scheduled with Hartwick College, Green Mountain College and Oneonta. The annual traditional battle with the Albany Law School was the usual hard-fought thriller. Pharmacy won both games by scores of 36-24 and 37-26. Kenneth MacCollam, Asst. Mgr.

The Junior team looks very strong this year and they too have turned out in large numbers. Last year Klampert was successful in obtaining the title of Fresh- man champ. As the elimination matches are planned now, there is going to be a great deal of rivalry and hence we are looking forward to some very interesting and close games between the contestants. The Senior team is the same this year as for the past two years. We have indeed had some close matches but it has always been Al. Weinberger whose alert- ness, cleverness and speed has carried him to victory. The question is, “Will he win again this year and will he finally be the ‘College Champ?’ ” It appears to be a very exciting year for Handball and may the best man win. Edward Wolff, Manager.

Although not a team of top-notch calibre, it will not accept defeat until the last man is out. This year we were very fortunate in having eight varsity members from last year to form a nucleus for this year’s team. Added to this group were found five promising Freshmen ball players to round out the team. The following men comprised the team: Collins, DePersis, Faris, Randall, Dvorkin, Epstein, O’Brien, Wilson, Mullady, Mastriani, Sivak, Chapman and Comenzo. Henry Aumiller, ’38, was elected to the assistant managership, which position he filled very excellently and efficiently. Aaron Epstein, ’38, was appointed secretary of team and through his careful and complete work we were able to operate on a more efficient basis. To the above gentlemen and to Professor L.

This year bowling has lived up to its reputation as the most popular sport in the college, in fact, the interest grew to such proportions that it was necessary to increase the number of alleys, from six to eight. The large number of students participating, included several girls who soon showed they were possessors of a natural bowling skill. The Senior and Faculty teams took an early season lead as they chalked up victories in their first three starts. Later the Seniors took first place, the Juniors climbed into the runnerup position, as the Faculty slipped to third place while the Freshmen were encamped in the cellar. The individual scores fluctuated throughout the year with DePersis, Pangburn, Randall and Moses vicing for honors. The Juniors should have a fine team next year. Edward Moses, Manager.
