Alembic J3f)armafum Nineteen Jfortp=®J)ree Publisl)eb tip tlje Senior Class of tbe gltianp College of Ijarmacp department of fjarmacp Union Hmbersitp Ultiann, J?eto fork Xituoln’g ( ettptftmrg JUtrforcss Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great Civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. Tt is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have con- secrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here, have, thus far, so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, bv the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. President Abraham Lincoln gllembtc IBebicatton The memory of hard work and fun remains clear in our minds as wc humbly dedicate this Alembic Pharmakon to Dr. J. George Lutz an honorable past member of our faculty. Dr. Lutz is a man whose knowledge and intelligence will long be re- membered by us, the Class of January, ’43. Though we have keenly felt his absence from our midst this last year, we sincerely wish him good luck and God-speed in his new mission.

Alexander, LL.B., A.M., Dean DUDLEY OBSERVATORY Founded 1852 Benjamin Boss, Director ALBANY MEDICAL COLLEGE Founded 1839 Thomas Ordvvay, A.M., Sc.D., M.D., Dean Acting Dean Francis Joseph O’Brien, Ph.G., Ph.C., A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Head of the Pharmacy Department—Professor of Pharmacy and Mathematics Dr. O’Brien is now acting dean of the college, and he also heads our Pharmacy department. Capable and brilliant, he is one of the few men who can execute more than one job at a time, doing each of them equally well. Dr. O’Brien is an alumnus of our Alma Mater, graduating in the Class of 1920 with a Ph.G. degree. He took a position on the staff here and continued his work to obtain his Ph.C. degree in 1929. In 1932 he received his A.B. degree from the New York State College for Teachers, which was followed by his M.A. degree in 1936. Shortly after this, he began work for his Ph.D. degree from Fordham Uni- versity. It was granted in June, 1940. During the last year, we feel that we have profited under the leadership and guidance of Dr. O’Brien. He has listened untiringly to the complaints and troubles of each of us, and his advice has always been sound. Now, as we graduate, we wish to thank him for being our advisor, our teacher, and our friend! Ten . $fjarmafeon John Edward Wolff, Ph.C., B.S. Instructor in Pharmacy Thoroughness in presentation can demand exactitude in return. This understanding between teacher and students proves the admirable keynote of Mr. Wolff’s classes. We have found him to be the encouraging moderator in extra-curricular activities as well as a refined and reserved instructor and friend. Such combination of personality and competency, desirable in a teacher of a core subject, are not wanting in our pharmacy instructor. Lauren R. Hanmer, Ph.C., B.S. Instructor in Materia Medica and Botany The details of botanical nature are thoroughly understood and presented by Mr. Hanmer. affording the pharmacy students a background in the knowledge of materials utilized in their profession. From a personal angle, we have found his inform- ality an invitation to self-expression, and his courteous, gentle- manly manner in class, an inspiration for like conduct. John Dwyer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology One of the most recent additions to our faculty is Dr. Dwyer who comes to us from St. Francis’ College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham Univer- sity’s College of Pharmacy and graduate school. Having merited an A.B. degree from St. Peter’s College, Jersey City, his pursuit of still higher education was realized at Fordham University, Columbia University and institutions in the mid- west. Our acquaintance with him, though brief, has been of sufficient duration to perceive that he is keen of intellect, pro- fessional in demeanor, exacting in conduction, yet kindly patient in the lecture room. His efficiency is an asset to the students and to the prestige of our college. We sincerely welcome him as an associate of A. C. P. Eleven gUemtric Claude M. Reed, Ph.C.. B.A., A.M. Instructor in Chemistry Chemistry, so comprehensive a subject and so vitally con- nected with Pharmacy, begets a fascination and desire for its knowledge. Professor Reed’s encouragement of this attraction, demonstrated through his sincere interest in his department, and his ability to satisfy the receptive attitude of his “men”, through specialized study on his part, make him the ideal for his position. His willingness to see things from the student’s viewpoint in his realization of their yet embrvonic background, makes him kindly tolerant, though not faultily condescending, to our inaccuracies in so precise a subject. Needless to say, these qualities label him a favorite. Homer L. Nelms, M.D. Instructor in Physiology and First Aid We all like Dr. Nelms. This is a plain but expressive and all-embracing statement. Who could resist that paternal in- terest, displayed both during lectures and in administering medical attention to so many of our students. His prominence as physician and surgeon enhance his qualifications to instruct others in the elements of physiology' and emergency treatments. We feel indebted to him for giving us his precious time, for encouraging scholastic endeavors by his yearly award, and for his admission of his personal enjoyment in being with us. David Hutchinson, B.A., M.A., A.M., B.D., Ph.D. Lecturer iji Jurisprudence and Political Science So versatile an education as is possessed by Dr. Hutchinson, renders him a revered and esteemed associate of our college. His myriad experiences in teaching law and in actual legal procedures, carry his lectures from the theoretical to the realistic and evoke confidence in him as an authority. His sense of humor in his amusing relations brings in the all-important refreshment in his lectures. Twelve Pfjarmafeon Harold W. Blodgett, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Instructor in English Ever patient in his endeavors at evoking proper diction and grammatical accuracy, Dr. Blodgett presents a study of serenity and sincerity to his students. They appreciate his tolerance and efforts to make them glib in both oral and written English, and we are certain these efforts have not been fruitless. Chester J. Terrill, Pd.B., B.A., M.A. Instructor in Accounting Professor Terrill’s training of the students in accuracy, in conjunction with the business subjects of pharmacy, will not be confined to figures, but transferred to the scrupulous pre- cision required of one in the art of prescription compounding. He is thus to be lauded for the formation of this all-important characteristic in our future pharmacists. John J. Clemmer, B.S., M.D. Director of Bender Laboratory and Professor of Patology The Bender Laboratory, offering Medical Technology stu- dies and affiliated bacteriological work, is ably guided by Dr. Clemmer, its director. His desire to engage the interest of the students in acquisition of knowledge rather than credits, reveal a sincere interest in propagating to society such a benevolent work. lie imparts this spirit to his co-workers, who thus unified, present a correlated scries of instructions. Thirteen Alembic Gesina A. F. De Holl, B.S., M.A. Instructor in Bacteriology and Serology The time-honored reputation of Southern cordiality is demonstrated to us by Miss De Holl. Master of her work, responsive to study and daily experience as the supervisor of the bacteriological unit of the Bender Laboratory, she repre- sents an authority and isc teemed as such by her pupils. Her background of general laboratory' knowledge brings forth those ever-ready and satisfying answers; her characteristic sense of humor brings forth that ever-welcome and refreshing smile. Katherin E. Glavin, Registrar All things gravitate to and from the main office and thus our associations with Miss Glavin arc many and frequent. We find her always ready to be of service and cheerfully so. Her efficiency docs not permit of careless leniency but of patient inducement to compliance; her pleasing manner and sympa- thetic attitude are more than appreciated by- those of us with whom she comes in contact. Sumner B. Cotzin, B.S.; Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry Organic Chemistry is a fool-proof test of the possession, or otherwise, of patience, mainly on the part of the professor. Dr. Cotzin survives the test admirably. With a knowledge of the subject which he presents, comes one also of the difficulties encountered by his students and his tireless repetition brings to him a grateful response. Jesse F. Stinard, A.B., A.M. Instructor in German Since pharmacal studies are almost exclusively scientific, they embrace even a scientific language, of which Professor Stinard is the capable master. His kindly manner and con- sistent class procedures render more facile that which would otherwise prove so difficult an undertaking for those whom he instructs. Fourteen Dr. William J. Martin, Jrv Ph.C., M.D. Instructor in Zoology On leave for military service. Uncle Sam has requested the services of this competent local physician who is also a representative member of our faculty. The nature of his leave of absence will but raise our admiration of him and will make more jubilant the reassuming of his for- mer duties. Dr. Martin’s conscientious endeavors in behalf of our education result in systematic teaching and comprehensive learning. Arthur G. Kemnitzer, B.S. Instructor in Biochemistry and Sterilization Exactitude in detail represents efficiency in scientific study. The careful supervision of our work by Mr. Kemnitzer de- manded and encouraged such procedures, for which training we are duly grateful to him. His precision and accuracy in calculations while lecturing or demonstrating, inspired in us a confidence in his ability. Sclf-confidcnce on our parts auto- matically resulted, and through this we felt the satisfaction of accomplishment. Alexander A. Kosinski, B.A., M.D. As instructor in one of the most practical “Bender” courses, Dr. Kosinski is afforded an opportunity for giving a comprehen- sive insight to the work to be embraced by the medical tech- nologists. His lucid presentations of subject matter and his requesting rather than commanding attitude, win for him the cooperation of the students. John J. Marra, B.S., M.S., M.D. Instructor in Hematology Dr. Marra is the type of person one delights in meeting often. His quiet, friendly bearing manifests outwardly an innate kindliness. These admirable traits make our sessions with him a pleasure and render us more receptive to his in- structions. With him, continuous practical experiencing of what is taught constitutes no small asset to such a profession. aiembtc jwx-j-y. ft B :. -v.vy?« • V - v : YMWW yf v :v . s ,sy A ;y y y YSrVA yy ' ■■ 'vX • • - •: YYSY .y wf;: '♦aw. ❖ v V-AiyAV WVWv ’A '' vv g- ;: W «UW -: ASH� c wmzm ' 7y !• Z . ■'''y-Myyy yA .«X' Z-v .v • (%) ’'' syss sss.ffifc, ' HBftMMS MB '■YA'.Y.YY ys',y.',-‘‘Ys ' YSSY yYsffif fo ■'A Y'AAA- yrtry wY '''■'Y'Ay.'Y Ss Y Y' Y YY'-YY ■■ 3HK� •ss.ySjtf ' - - ■: ' :■ K« .v f ‘ Sixteen fjarmafeon HUembtc Senior Class history (Officers Edmond Crandall Captain Edward Karuzas....................................................“Lieutenant” Attention! All forces of the U. S. A. On January 18, 1943, or thereabouts, the aforementioned and a battalion of sixteen “buck privates” will leave this establishment of opportunity and will he drafted, no doubt, for active duty on the land, on the sea, and in the air. Long will we remember those days of careless freedom and serious diligence; those days when we had battles both in the line of sports and in the translation of der, die, das”. Also, we will remember bowling for which we were able to obtain the title of “The Champs.” Although we, the Class of ’43, have been the guinea pigs for the new experi- ments being undertaken in A.C.P., we have managed to struggle through and at last received our rewards; those long sought after diplomas! We are the first class to graduate in January under the new accelerated war program. Under this new program we labored during the hot summer days so as to be able to offer our services to Uncle Sam a little earlier than he had antici- pated. In former years, we were a very active group who entered into the spirit of nearly every college activity. During the past year, this has been made more difficult because the regular activities were not kept up during the summer session and so, we made our own activities and sports. The most important of these was soft ball and though competition was not very plentiful, we managed to have a good time. When the fall session started, we again entered into the spirit of things and got back some of the sporting enthusiasm. Now that we are about to embark upon a career in the army of the U. S. A.. we must say “Farewell” and report to our local draft boards. Good luck to those whom we leave behind us. We will look forward to seeing you someday, somewhere, whether it be on the field of battle, or at the annual Alumni Dinner! Bernard Goldberg “Sergeant Gkrai.dink Howard “Corporal” Geraldine Howard.

Pvt. Richard G. Scheutzow The class basketball team hasn’t won a game since he left; the bowling team remembers him by maintaining the winning pace he helped to set. He was with us for two years .... an athlete and a leader among his classmates .... the first in his school to be called to the colors, and although he will not be graduated with us, he was, and, to us, always will be one of the finest members of the class of ’43. It is only right that we, the class of ’43, make a place for him in our yearbook and pay tribute to a real man and a good soldier .... Twenty-five Alembic Mentor Claste £$tll We, the Class of January, ’43 do hereby bequeath the following heirlooms to those who follow in our wake! ! To John Beeble, Bernard Goldberg leaves his upper hand with the women. To Prentiss Derringer, Walt Weltzien leaves his excess vitality. To Louis Fratto, Frank de Qucvedo leaves his bottle-spacer. To George George, Gerry Howard leaves her aggressiveness. To William Globerson, Sol Potosky leaves his advanced knowledge in Prof. Hanmer’s courses. To Tom Hanley, Ed Crandall leaves his bed in Micro-biology. To Edwin Hunting, Sister Mary Eugenia leaves her scholastic average. To Peg Israel, June Turner leaves her hard-boiled efficiencies. To Mary Knapp, Jake Epstein leaves his habitual tardiness. To Dick Major, Arnie Shapiro leaves his bottle of specially prepared liquid petrolatum with which to coat pills. To Joe Palisi, Fran Conroy leaves his “never fail” laboratory technique. To Tom Pitts, Ed Karuzas leaves his playful antics. To Ida Rickey, Allan MacCollam leaves his golden voice. To Paul Rinaldi, Tom Young leaves his advanced studies in math. To Morris Silverman, Leo Katzman leaves his prowess as a softball pitcher. To Jerome Stepner, Dick Phalen leaves his excess weight. To Edward Sternfcld, Walt Henning leaves his early morning chats with the profs. To Frank Sweeney, Russ Denegar leaves his position in the Pharmacy depart- ment. To Nathan Werlin, Joe Verrastro leaves his contract with “Lucky” Teeter. To Leonard Westerman, Pete Savage leaves his familiar stogie. In fond and loving memory of those who come after us, we do hereby witness the above will. Class of January, ’43 Twenty-six 9f)armakan $ropfjet is pntf)etic Prophets are born, not made; that’s what I used to think, but it seems that editorial personalities can make them, for that’s what has been done. Well, it’s interesting to conjecture about the future, especially one’s neighbor’s future. If Hymie So ’n So has been the type one could never “take to,” a.prophet is privileged to wed him to a wife who serves cold gravy, for example. But in the Class of ’43 we have no Hymie’s. My problem now seems to be one of securing assistance in visualizing about ten years hence, my fond colleagues—what a powerful imagina- tion to see “The Weltz” who is of stately stature, sophisticated and soundly settled to a serious serenity, for instance. Well, standing before a drug store looking at the pretty colored solutions in those ornate glass containers will get me nowhere, fast. Hmmmm—I have often wondered just what good they were besides being decorative when the proprietor is at a loss for ideas on window schemes. Looking in crystals and the like sort of goes without prophesying .... maybe if I concentrate long enough and look into these fantastic articles .... that’s worth trying! Believe it or not, I’m seeing things. (True, say you). A car just pulled up before a modernistic little structure .... it’s June E. stepping forth and waving goodbye to Bob as he drives away. An illuminated sigh evidences that June has made famous her lemon cream. It, plus other originals are manufactured here and by the appearance of the “Before’s” and “After’s”, she is making over her customers with facials and those myriad hair-do’s of w'hich she is the model. Thank goodness! If June ever saw the narrow escape her husband just had: a Pepsicola truck, too intent on relieving suffering humanity almost made Bob’s car look as if it were trying to fit into a five foot parking space. Francis Conroy is behind the wheel in the truck. I guess he’s sacrificing his planned career to slake thirsts, (pri- marily his own). Points north .... Goldberg Landing .... I always thought it wras Bolton .... no the sign reads Goldberg Landing. Little wonder! Versatile ambitions such as his could never be confined to a corner drug store. What a colony; villa, restaurant, bathing beach, general store not to mention a pharmacy which Peggy manages very nicely. (While passing through Amsterdam, no indications of Karuzas???) Richfield Springs—I can’t say North, South, East or West; I don’t know; but there it is, and there he is! I’ll read the revealing display: “Sav- age Soothing Sulfur Springs” featuring “Crandall’s Convalescent Crystals”. The inseparable duo are still inseparable. Now' wouldn’t you think that after Pete’s course in English he’d know enough to put his name in the possessive case? Do you wrant to frighten clients away, Pete? Savage Soothing sounds rather paradoxi- cal. I’m glad he has had success though, since the valet can shampoo those trans- lucent specs. Never fear, we can still identify him; the inevitable stogey is still clenched between his teeth, politician fashion. (Incidentally, he’s a political boss —merely a side issue). No mistaking Albany, especially with such landmarks as A. C. P. looming. Nothing like reminiscing with former associates. There’s Doctor ---- or is it? Familiar countenance, no doubt, but not one of our former professor’s. Too true, it’s Twenty-seven H. Russell Denegar, personified. He’s going up the walk, opens the door, descends the stairs, turns right and enters the lab office using his own key. It must be true; an additional assistant professor of Pharmacy. I’m no sleuth, but there arc his lecture notes and a text book which looks rather interesting entitled “Do It By Proportion” by A. Shapiro. Sure enough, who could forget A. C. P.’s cross-multi- plying ace? I did so want to remain and look around at the budding sweet water chemists, but the whole picture is gone and there is no time for confabulation. Here’s a place 1 should know but those two new wings certainly do change the appearance of St. Peter’s Hospital. Naturally I’m interested in the Pharmacy department. Concentration docs the trick in a prophet’s game and there it is and much enlarged in the new East wing. Sister Mary' Eugenia seems busily com- pounding and a young lady seems to be discussing something with her. They’re turning and walking out. If that doctor would only step out of the way ... ah, there he goes, and there they go and moving rapidly to the west wing and into ?????? the laboratory, that’s what it is. As they enter a young lady approaches and addresses Sister’s companion, “Miss Howard, would you . . .”. No need to tarry further; it looks as if Gerry is one of the Somebody’s on the lab staff. (No wonder the doctor got out of the way—I’ll bet Gerry bared her teeth at him.) Now, why this scene should be forthcoming is more than I can figure out. Just a tall building—apparently we’re very near the top story' since I can see the clouds beneath. Whoever occupies these upper rooms must indeed seek solitude for quiet thinking. Warm too, it is, but I’m glad . . . the doors are open and I can readily see the occupants. Such an array of flasks, burners, test tubes, beakers and twisted “apparatae” as is in that room I never have seen in all my school days. “In medias res” sits Jack Epstein. But he’s in oblivion as far as these gadgets are concerned. He sits bent, intent on nothing but pencil and paper. This must be that private lab we used to hear so much about in school, but the glassware must be camouflage since Jack needed only pencil and paper to make his experiments come out “on the nose”. Our Wonder Boy! He doesn’t even look up from his work as Sol Potosky enters and despite the fact that the latter seems so eager to demonstrate his company’s latest product, “No Effort” beard remover. It seems that Jack’s ever-loving wife objects to his ever-growing beard and Sol, pal-fashion is trying to establish ever-lasting domestic peace. Oh well, some days you can’t make a nickel. I most certainly thought that rail travel had long since been superceded by aerial ways but apparently not. I’m aboard a train, and in a private coach are two pharmacal magnates, apparent from their conversation and the rocks glistening from their pinkies. Evidently this is no business trip—golf bags, etc. No mistaking it, that song bird Mac . . . it’s his voice, crooning away. All I can see of the other occupant is that he is in a horizontal position, ergo, it’s Henning. Might as well dawdle and listen since they’re heading toward the big city and no telling what I’ll see there. Mac’s eagerly pointing out of the car window and with much effort Henning swallows a couple of vitamin B capsules and with this aid manages to rise to his elbow. Fortunately, the train has come to a standstill and I can gander. No wonder I didn’t see Karuzas in Amsterdam. Here are his and Phalen’s pictures and names in lights. No half-way about those two. They’ve established a private clinic, a beautiful set-up. I guess they must be anxious for business since Twenty-eight $f)armafeon both rush to the door at Mac’s approach (Henning is still no further than the lift to his elbow). It seems that they can’t just get the public’s confidence. Statistics show that out of fifty patrons on the opening day a mortality of only thirty was in evidence, too. Puzzling, isn’t it? After all their work on patenting a zipper suture. Never mind, give Karuzas a piano and he’ll keep rich in its “notes”. All aboard! We’re nearing the big city and . . . we’re in it. Broadway, and a peck into Mindy’s restaurant may make one feel as if he were really eating those juicy steaks, especially those coming up on the forks of Lee Katzman and Arnie Shapiro. Arnic’s editorial work on math books must be merely a hobby since he and Lee are professional research men . . . they search, and not finding, research, and so goes their day. Just now, Arnie is searching for coins to pay his dinner ticket, and, not finding, Lee is researching, and he seems to find only a handful of dust in his pocket . . . this is so pitiful . . . Such a predicament for two citizens to be in. Quickly away I would like to be, and so I am. I’d like to see how Frankie de Quevedo is faring, but I suppose this is too much for which to hope . . . bright idea . . . the scene is passing the harbor (at my request). A little more concentration may board me on the U. S. Navy ship. What powers! I’m out on the blue deep and in the ship. Heavens! There’s much need to be affrighted. The crew' seems neglectful of their duty for a spectacular per- former, to say the least. Around flits “The Weltz,” doing some hornpipe or other, the “Wcltzien Way.” I knew I couldn’t find him subdued, even in that handsome garb of Uncle Sam’s blue and white. However, his bouncing does not lastingly disturb his ever-retrievable deliberative calmness of manner . . . and toward me he comes, placid depitc the fact that he still has to take his “practicals” and still lacks two years’ experience. True to form, he’s betting me a lolly-pop that I can’t find Frankie. I assure him that the bet is on, provided the pop is “cold.” Glad I’m aboard. I always did w'ant to see a plane land on a ship and here’s one nowr. Good pilot, nice landing. Bring me the bet, Walt . . . it’s Frankie and none other. He’s in a cockpit instead of over a mortar and pestle. The explanation seems to be that Frankie was taking his work too seriously, and Frankie’s Papa wranted him to have some diversion. Now Frankie’s Papa’s problem is that Frankie is having too much diversion and stubborn-like refuses to work for his Papa, even lightly. Undaunted, Walt issues a “cold” pop which is cherry flavor, and since that flavor is my favorite dislike, I readily take on another bet of a lime lolly pop that I won’t find Young and Verrastro. To be truthful, I have about given up in regard to these two. I’ve been keen at reading signs and concentrating, but of no avail. Besides Walt assures me that I’d never suspect such a change as the years have wrought, so I give up. He then informs me that he one day came upon the most peaceful domestic scene he has ever seen. There were chickens, dogs and cats, etc., running around the back yard, a radio blasted within, and a lovely young girl pointed to her husband on the front porch. It w'as Tom, unmistakably so, since as usual he was attempting to convince someone . . . and the someone was Joe Verrastro . . . and the subject of convincement was that Joe too should approach the altar to establish the equilibrium of their already formed pharmacal partnership. And like all “made” prophets I can do as I please, so I’ll leave Tom on the porch, Walt on the ocean and Frankie in the air, ’cause it’s midnight and I’m tired. Twenty-nine aiemtuc ifoffitra (EolUge ifempHtrai, Nw fork t t t To my friends of '43:- I deeply appreciate the great honor the dedication of this, your year book, your request for a message from me. you have done me I am humbled by in ) 1 ) As a class you have already shown a great deal of courage and adaptability. You have had to adjust yourselves to many changes in your school life. Nov you are being called upon to adjust your whole life to a grim task:- the task of once again fighting to preserve our national heritage. For you, this means temporarily setting aside your individual hopes and plans so that your lives may be devoted to our national task. You must adjust your thinking' away from individual hopes and aspirations, toward a united effort. An effort that will call for even greater adaptability than you have shown thus far. Frequently your new assignments will seem trivial and insigni- ficant. But let me adapt one of my favorite teachings to your new way of life:- An effort can be no more significant than that of the least significant individual taking part in that effort. Go out into your new world with certainty and with coui age. I pray that you may all soon return to work out the hopes and plans which you are now laying aside and that you will remember your days at the Albany College of Pharmacy among the happier days of your life. C-od bless you. } 1 T hirty ) Ijarmafeon Thirty-one ty-two Left to right— Seated—Rinaldi, Historian; Rickey, Secretary-Treasurer; George, Vice-President; Sweeney, President.

At least we were no longer “Frosh.” We proudly, yet hesitantly, returned to school still being lower classmen—but of a slightly higher degree. But to our disappointment, everyone was not back. “Les,” the class Romeo, and “Collie,” the guy from “Ti,” were absent. They are now known as Private Leslie Coons, and Private Carl Bevilacqua of the U. S. Army. To our knowledge, Carl was one of the first pharmacy students in the state to be called to the service of his country. Score one for A.C.P.! The pharmaceutical profession is going to miss two grand fellow's and so arc we. Their absence is felt by all of us, but we wish them the best of luck. Just before we left for our summer vacation, class officers were elected. The officers for the sophomore year arc: Paul Nosowich .... ... President Walter Houghtaling ..... Vice-President Edith Bactowsky ... ... Secretary Richard Foley .... ... Historian Among other changes in school, we found a change in the faculty. We were disappointed to see that Dr. Lutz had left, but in his place, we were glad to meet Dr. Cotzin. Dr. Dwyer, Professor Terrill, and Professor Stinard, with whom we soon became acquainted, wrere also newr to our faculty. We sincerely hope that w;e are not disappointing them as proteges.

Alembic $f)armakon Jfrestfjman Claste instorp On September 21, 1942, the Freshman class of the Albany College of Pharmacy was officially enrolled. Many members of the class saw the college for the first time and were carried away with vivid impressions. None will forget how our pockets were unburdened of hundreds of dollars, and all will remember the tower- ing stacks of books issued to us. This gave forebodings of the shape of things to come. The polysyllabic names of some of our subjects gave rise to a more pronounced skepticism. It was rather difficult at first to accustom ourselves to one another and to our new surroundings. In Chemistry' lab, a real sense of importance came over us when we were assigned lockers and given our keys. In Pharmacy lab, the mere sight of the colored bottles arranged on the shelves incurred a sense of fear. Perhaps it would be safe to state that, in general, Zoology, with its multiple-vowel sounding names, left and still leaves us indifferent to Webster’s Dictionary. During the course of the first week of study, it was announced that we would not be subjected to quarterly examinations. This did not mean, however, that there would be no examinations at all. On the contrary, we were bombarded with just so-called short “check-ups.” The following week we assembled as a class to elect our officers. Most of the nominations were made by finger-pointing and, eventually, the following became our leaders: Floyd Ingraham..................................President Evelyn Abare ....... Vice-President Mary Gaudio.....................................Secretary John Brignola ....... Historian One situation which impressed all of us, was the extensive freedom and the new responsibility consequent upon it. Smoking privileges became a new luxury, and the ten-minute rest periods between classes were a new experience. The privilege of “cutting” classes up to a certain point, seemed unbelievable to many of us. We began to notice that Paul Mahoney was going to be “the little man that wasn’t there,” and that Joe Mirabile, with his eloquent laughter, would con- tribute to the brighter side of our classes. The most significant factor to us, was the attitude of the Seniors. We, as Freshmen, expected a little “hazing.” Instead, we enjoyed the experience of being fellow students. We appreciated this consideration from the Seniors and hope, that when the time comes, we may do as well. May we wish them good luck as they take their degrees from Alma Mater.

It was formed in 1914 at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, the original group becoming Alpha Chapter. The Sorority is the sister organization of Kappa Psi Fraternity, also a pharmaceutical group who have a Beta Delta Chapter at the Albany College of Pharmacy. There has been an addition of twenty-one chapters to the Sorority, Beta Chapter of Albany College of Pharmacy, Albany, being the first to unite in 1918. The ruling power of the Sorority is the Grand Council which convenes with the Chapter delegates bi-ennially for business and pleasure. This school year finds Beta Chapter with nine active members and one active honorary member. Our various schedules find us scattered throughout the day, but regularly we meet with our sisters under our beloved Sorority which holds us united in a program of high standards and ideals, cooperation and consideration for our fellow men, and last, but not least, social activities. i In the 25th year of existence, Beta Chapter looks to the future with its ever conscious motto, “Esse Quam Videre” (to be, rather than to seem). Our best wishes are for the graduating Seniors; our prayers are for an eternal peace; and our hopes are for a contented and united world. M. M. K.

JI ess. $fjarmakon 3n Hetvogpect .... Back in the year 1879, on the 30th day of May, at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Conn., Kappa Psi was born under the able tutelage of F. Harvey Smith. The organization was influenced greatly by an older academic society, in which Mr. Smith’s father was an outstanding member. It was formed originally as a literary society and soon spread to other neighboring schools such as Cheshire Military Academy, the Hillhouse High School, and Yale College, which was then in its infancy. In the next decade, many of the members of these Chapters entered Medical schools, and soon Kappa Psi became a strictly professional fraternity, since academic chapters had been dropped. “Alpha Chapter,” the governing body of Kappa Psi, was placed first on the new chapter roll. The governing body, also known nationally as the Grand Council, for the next twelve years between 1886-1908, met annually and now the executive body meets every' two years. Up to the year 1917, when the United Stales declared war with France, two medical fraternities merged with Kappa Psi, the first being Delta Omicron Medical Fraternity, which was founded at Tulanc in New Orleans in 1907. A few months later Phi Delta Medical Fraternity of Long Island Hospital Medical College followed suit. At the “National Convention” held soon after that year, it was decided that the medical and pharmaceutical chapters divide, so that now Kappa Psi is strictly a fraternity composed of pharmacists and students of pharmacy. The faternity’s name was now' expanded to Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. The National Fraternity, Kappa Psi, was introduced to A.C.P. in 1910, under the name of Beta Delta Chapter. The Grand Chapter had been petitioned by various outstanding young men at A.C.P., who upheld and believed in higher ranking scholastic education, and it was they who brought into play, the good fellowship of the fraternity. These individuals were scholarly gentlemen, and it is to them that A.C.P. owes its gratitude for a fine fraternal chapter, because the chapter was granted by the Grand Chapter of Kappa Psi. In retrospect, then, let us salute Kappa Psi Fraternity and its founder, Mr. F. Harvey Smith, for an honorable organization in things pharmaceutical and fraternal. And may we in these trying times remember that good fellowship is becoming more and more important. At our first meeting of the beginning of this scholastic year w'e made tentative plans for our activities of the year. The new officers presiding at this meeting were: Regent, Richard Phalen; Vice-Regent, Frank Garcia De Quevedo; Secretary, Joseph Palisi; Treasurer, Walter Houghtaling; Historian, Thomas LoPresti; Chap- lain, Alexander Fiore. Our first undertaking was a Fraternity Smoker in which a number of members, students and members of the faculty were present. In dosing, wrc wish to extend our wishes for the best of success and health to our departing brothers.

However, judging from past perform- ances, it is expected that the Glass of ’43 will repeat and win the league for the third consecutive year. On Monday evenings, Schade’s Bowling Academy is the scene of flying pins and highly-spirited contest. To date, honors for the high single, high triple, and high average, go to Ed Karuzas of the Senior team. Competition was keen this year, and the league was much more closely contested than in previous years. Good turnouts and steady bowling by members of the Sophomore and Junior teams kept the Seniors plugging to stay out in front. The Freshmen, paced by “Red” Wheeler, were in there pitching, and with this year’s seasoning under their belts, should provide stiff competition for the rest of the league next year. The membership in the league this year was slightly better than in former years. The Seniors eight and nine men attendance more than made up the lack of Freshmen in the first few weeks. Moral support, lent by our “co-eds,” was very encouraging to various members of the league. All in all, it was a very successful season for all those involved and by all indica- tions, future seasons should be as fruitful. The league was under the capable direction and guidance of Dr. O’Brien, to whom we are much indebted. E. K.

As this goes to press, the season is far from over, but the Sophs, last year’s champs, are again heading the league, holding victories over the Juniors, Seniors, and Freshmen. The Juniors and Seniors are a tic for second place, each having eked out a victory over the Freshmen. Every game so far has been a hard fight and a close contest right down to the final whistle. High scoring honors, up to time of writing, go to “Pete” Savage of the Seniors, who has averaged better than seventeen points a game. “Carm” Mazzatti and “Al” Fiore of the Sophs, are right on his heels. There is still another round and the play-offs to go, and anything can happen. Proof of this is that the Seniors won a game this year, their first in two years. The boys really enjoy playing and look forward to the rest of the season. They appreciate and extend their thanks to Mr. Wolff for making these games possible, and to those fellows, who officiated at the games, maintaining order, and taking so many verbal beatings without flinching. W. W. Tarsttp Basketball After a year’s lapse, varsity basketball bowed into A.C.P. once more. At the basketball meeting, Richard Phalen was elected manager and Paul Wolkoff was elected assistant manager. Phil Prolles became coach, and Mr. Wolff resumed his duties as the faculty advisor. The team is representative of all the classes. Eddie Karuzas and Walt Weltzien represent the Seniors. The Juniors gave Frank Sweeney, Joe Palisi, George George, and John Beeble. From the Sophomores we have Charlie DeChristopher and Carmen Mazzatti. Paul Mahoney and Gerry Wheeler were honored by becoming varsity men in their Freshman year. The season opened with a headliner game at Law School. After a hard-fought game, Pharmacy won with a score of twenty-three to nineteen in the last few min- utes of play. As this is written, the majority of the season is still ahead. The team is a little “rough,” but with the spirit that the men have, they should go on to win more games in the future.

We have also sponsored an Advanced First Aid Class which was attended by twenty of our members. This class will continue to meet the first Monday of each month and all association members are invited to attend any of the sessions. The Alumni Committee appointed to assist the Admissions Committee of the college has functioned faithfully. As a result of their efforts we have secured a substantial registration of new students for the coming year.

Fifty-two $f)armafeon i 5 Fifty-three Uembic Kfjt ipfjarmaast in tme of ar Few people realize the importance of a pharmacist in time of w'ar. While his duties are numerous in the time of peace, they multiply themselves a hundred- fold when war comes. Fifteen thousand pharmacists or more may be required to serve the expanded Army and Navy of the United States. Young pharmacists and those of middle-age who have been taken for granted by the surrounding neighbor- hood of the corner drugstore, are suddenly being missed. Quite definitely he is missed!! Confidence in the matter of health is not lightly bestowed and there is a personal relation between pharmacists and their clients. A great responsibility has been thrust upon pharmacy by the withdrawal of approximately forty thousand physicians, thirteen thousand dentists, and thirty-five thousand nurses from civilian practice. Such an induction of medical men and women into military duty is bound to create a critical health situation at the home front. Customary medical care will not be available at a time when it will be most needed. The health of millions in war industry, on the farms, and in essential production and distribution of war materials is of the utmost concern at this period when the nation is seeking the full utilization of its man-power for the war cffbrt. Concentration upon the strictly pharmaceutical needs of his community, now becomes the first duty of the pharmacist who operates a retail establishment. He must anticipate probable health needs. He must keep abreast of progress in medical science, and learn to distinguish between essential and non-essential products. More than ever, he must act nowr as a most intelligent purchasing agent for the people that he serves. The doctors remaining to care for the community are becoming more and more pressed for time. This may mean that, as occurred in the First World War, the “dispensing doctor” will vanish, and pharmacists will be called upon to dispense more than ever before. Day by day there becomes a more acute shortage of drugs. There are demands made for materials which are on the critical list and very difficult to obtain. The pharmacist must use intelligence to guarantee equitable distribution of all materials, services, and man-power, with the winning of the war as the main objective. The pharmacists, indeed, have many obstacles to overcome. There are still two very important questions which remain unanswered. First, will the war-drain on civilian doctors reduce the amount of prescription business? Secondly, if it does, or even if it does not, how should pharmacists handle an increase call upon them for medical advice? Consequently, in all the vast changes taking place, it can readily be seen that the necessity of pharmacy has assumed a more important position in our national welfare. Vital as the pharmacist’s role was before, the part he now' plays is a necessity to ultimate victory. L. H. Fifty-four ipfjmrmakon Joung anb tfje 0lb of 3tl For over a week now. I have been wondering about the practicability of twenty Seniors and twenty Freshmen combined to make one English class. What bothers me most is the effect, psychologically and otherwise, on the poor “frosh.” They, the timid and virtuous souls that they are, enter college with a firm determination to work diligently at their studies; however, the poor guys practically lose all chance to survive the minute they walk into English class. There sprawled along the back row are the hardened and embittered Seniors, forcing the “frosh” to take the front scats. The “frosh” don’t mind taking the front seats because they have made firm resolutions to absorb all the knowledge possible. When the class begins, the Freshmen cease all talking, this being a result of their high school discipline. The Seniors in the back row, as a result of nearly four years training, seem to increase the amount of personal conversation. This upsets and demoralizes the poor “frosh” considerably, and they begin to wonder what they have gotten into. After class, groups of students congregate in the hall outside, and the “frosh” talk about going home to read over the English assignment. Lo and behold! The Senior, overhearing this conversation, steps up to the group of unsuspecting Fresh- men and expresses his viewpoint about how foolish a person is to study. Here he is, himself, a Senior, and hasn’t studied over two hours, all told, since he has been attending college. The “frosh,” hearing this, decides that he is as good as a Senior any day of the week, and so, catches up on his sightseeing and sleeping rather than studying. A saddened “frosh” paces the halls after first quarter marks come out. Never again will ho take the advice of a Senior. How was he supposed to know that they marked failures in red ink? He thought that they just ran out of black ink when they got to his card!! T. Y.

Fifty-five glemtric )t Romantic instorp of perfume “From Then Till Now” The Latin word “per”, meaning through, and “fumum”, meaning smoke, gives us a visual picture of the original Arabian form of perfume—really in this case an incense—obtained by burning aromatic gums and woods. Myrrh, saffron, cassia, orris, were used in religious ceremonies, and as the blue wreaths of smoke ascended toward heaven, they wafted the credulous prayers of these primitive worshippers, leaving behind the powerfully sweet, fragrant fumes, deliriously mingled with the ecstatic songs and dances of these believers in many gods, until the perfume-intoxi- cated people were thrown into a religious frenzy. Practically no phase of modern life is more significantly linked with the romance of history than perfume. The first mention of its use seems to be in connection with religious rites. The thirtieth chapter of Exodus contains two formulas, one for an anointing oil and the other for a perfume, both to be used solely for religious pur- poses by the tabernacle priests. The anointing oil consisted of sweet spices such as pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon, sweet calamus, and cassia, mixed with pure olive oil. The perfume consisted of stacte, anycha, and galbanum, mixed with pure frankincense. These ingredients were all aromatic herbs or gums. It is also related in the Bible that the Hebrews used fragrant gums, and the Wise Men of the East brought an offering of frankincense and myrrh to the new Christ. The use of perfumes—in ointment and liquid oil form—was prevalent among the Egyptians, who used them in and after their baths. W'ith these people, too, perfumes played an important part in their religious rites. The oils and ointments were prepared with meticulous care by their priests, who kept the oils in beautiful onyx or glass pots, and the ointments in marvellously carved ivory or wooden boxes. With Cleopatra’s reign, the use of perfumes and cosmetics reached its climax in history' up to that time. In the immortal “Anthony and Cleopatra”, when Anthony meets Cleopatra at Cyndus, he remarks, “From the barge a strange, invisible perfume hits the sense of the adjacent wharfs.” The ancient Egyptians deemed those skillful in the art of concocting perfumes, magicians, and there still is magic in it. During the Israelites captivity in Egypt, they too became initiated into these refinements, and after their return from that country, used them in a similar manner. With the advent of the Romans, many new developments occurred in per- fume art. Solid ointments, liquid ointments and powders, compound odeurs— some containing as many as twenty-seven ingredients—were used. The Orientals have always held that a proper use of scents will enhance beauty and prolong life. Science has recently come forth with the corroborating statement that perfumes and scents are effective as restoratives. It has been demonstrated by scientific experiments that perfumes have a strong influence on the nerves. The Arabs—their second appearance on the scene of perfume history—after conquering the Roman Empire of the West, made a cult of the art of perfume making, and it is to an Arabian physician, one Avicenna, that we owe the discovery of extracting the aroma of flowers and plants by distillation. He also succeeded in producing Rose Water, which was manufactured in large quantities, and the Fifty-six iPfjarmafecm historians tell us that he had the floor and walls of Omar’s mosque washed with it when Saladin entered Jerusalem. In the fourteenth century alcoholic perfumes were introduced. Later on, ambergris, a secretion of the sperm whale, found on the coasts of Africa, China, India and Australia, came into use. Civet, a glandular secretion from the civet cat of Abyssinia, and muse, a secretion of the muse deer, living in the Himalaya Mountains, obtained very definite places in the manufacture of perfumes. These animal raw materials are today considered indispensable ingredients in the com- position of quality products and when combined with natural products and synthetic raw materials such as aldehydes and ketones are called upon to act as blending agents and fixatives. Their prohibitive cost, due to the uncertainty and scarcity of supply, precludes their use in any but the most expensive perfumes. Their functions, however, have yet to to be adequately fulfilled by any other raw material group. The various essentials taken from nature’s floral masterpieces each have char- acteristics with which the perfume master chemist must be familiar. Like humans, they, too, are temperamental. If the oil of a rose, we will say for illustration, is blended with the essential of a flower that is out of tune with it, the result is not harmonious; the perfume picture has been destroyed; and a new start must be made. The master perfume chemist, like the master musician, must know the character of the essential odeurs, like the musician knows the harmony of the various notes, and the painter the harmony of colors, in order to effect a complete and perfectly balanced perfume—a classic. ©to ©ou I noto? Did you know that: Pharmacists of the tenth century identified themselves by carrying empty vials on their belts as a sign of their profession? An English law of 1606 ordered druggists and grocers to merge into one organization? Hospitals of medieval Europe gave the inmates food, shelter, and religious admonition, but no medical treatment? For an asthma remedy, the American Indians boiled alder oil, covered their heads with a blanket, and inhaled the fumes? Centuries ago, the Chinese ate grasshoppers as a laxative? In the days of the Roman Empire, kissing a mule was supposed to cure a cold? An old Italian method of making tooth powder was to burn a piece of grape vine and then use the ashes as a dentifrice? Early Egyptian women curled their hair by means of wet mud? As an aid to beauty, Italian girls of 1530 would place a piece of mutton beneath their pillow? A sixteenth century concoction, designed to make women beautiful forever, was made by killing a raven which had been fed hard-boiled eggs for forty days, and then distilling it with myrtle leaves and almond oil? In the Ozarks, a cure for chapped hands is to kiss the middle rail of a five- rail fence?

June 5th Hf.i.lo Pal— As soon as I graduated they got me! “They,” meaning the Army. My ambition was not, as one officer so aptly put it, to be a private. But, nevertheless, that’s what I am!! I suppose, with my pharmaceutical knowledge, I will advance very rapidly. I can stand being a private for a week or two. We all have to make sacrifices, you know. Please send me my U.S.P. that I left at your house, as there is a shortage of pharmacists and I will undoubtedly be doing that type of work. Will write you soon and let you know of my progress. Most likely, the next time you receive a letter from me, my name will have Second Lieutenant before it. Regards to the boys at A.C.P. Frank June 26th Dear Gerry— It seems as though my idea and the Army’s idea of promotion are miles apart. As you no doubt have noticed, there is still “Private” before my name. I have had trials and tribulations, some of which I will relate to you because you are so understanding. Naturally, being a pharmacist, I couldn’t understand why the H—— I should have to march fifteen miles a day. Trying to be tactful, in a friendly sort of way, I asked the Sergeant why I should have to hike, when shortly, I would be stationed in a hospital pharmacy? Being inquisitive, as the big baboon always is, he asked me why I thought I was going to be transferred? Having no basis other than my own conception, I told him I thought I was supposed to be transferred. He looked at me. Suddenly, he laughed and said, “So it’s making things you want to do.” I nodded to him, glad that last, here was a man who understood my problem. He then wrote on a slip of paper, and handed it to me. When I read it, I almost fell to the ground. I was ordered immediately to K.P. duty, so here I am. Imagine, the best pill-coater at A.C.P. is now coating frostings on cakes. It’s a good thing that I took a course in “store-practice”. At least, I know how to dust and sweep correctly. I’m so darn disgusted!! The fellows in my barracks kid the H----out of me. They say that I should be the best cook in the outfit, seeing as how I had a course in sandwich-making. Instead of sending my U.S.P., it should have been a cookbook. If there’s a shortage of pharmacists in the Army, it’s because they are all doing K.P. duty. Things look so darn black!! Right now, I would settle for a Pfc. stripe- That’s how low I feel!! Your pal, Frank Fifty-nine July 2nd Hello, Gerry— It seems as though I am going from bad to worse. Remember when we used to cut classes? Well, I was so disgusted with my K.P. duty I thought I would skip it for a few days. I went A.W.O.L. and hadn’t gone very far when a couple of tough M.P.’s caught up with me!! Discipline here is quite different than in school. I am now number 332 in the guard house. If I said K.P. duty was bad, it was heaven compared to this. Between scrubbing floors and getting half rations, they make me march twice as much as before. To top it all off, while you’re in the guard house, your pay automatically stops. Well, it seems as though the breaks never come my way!! Your pal, Frank July 18th Hi Gerry— Life has taken on a brighter aspect since my last letter. I was released from the guard house and am now stationed back with my outfit. As you no doubt have noticed on the envelope, I am still a “buck” private. But what the H---!!! It’s much better than doing K.P. or being in the guard house. I figure, that with all these three-months pharmacists wonders in the Army, there is no reason why they can’t give a complete course in medicine, which, on the same basis, could easily be accomplished in six months. You wrote me in your last letter that you had joined the Reserves. In spite of all that I have written, don’t be discouraged. Army life is what you make it, and I suppose that I entered with the wrong attitude. In our hearts, we all know that what we arc fighting for is just, and that to preserve our way of life is essential. Be it “buck” private or General, wc all have a duty to perform. It still gives me a feeling of security to know that I have my pharmacist’s license from A.C.P. which I hope, some day, to put to good use. Sincerely, Frank Humor Corner Judge: Rastus, do you realize that by leaving your wife you are a deserter? Rastus: Jedge, if yo’ all knowed dat woman like ah does, yo’ wouldn’t call me no deserter. Ah’s a refugee!! The rhumba is a dance where the front of you goes along like a Cadillac and the back of you makes like a jeep!! Dick Phalen: In Japan, they are very family conscious. When a Jap is inducted, his parents give him a party and he meets all his relatives. Then he goes to the front, and meets his brothers. Next, he meets a Yank. . . . Karuzas: And then what happens? Phalen: He meets his ancestors. Pf)armakon Sixty-one _ aiemtnc Sumor Claste 1942—43 John Beeble . . Watervliet, N. Y. Prentiss A. Derringer . . Albany, N. Y. Louis J. Fratto . Chester, N. Y.
