Francis J. O’Brien, A.M., Ph.D. Dean Dr. O’Brien is now clean 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.G. 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.l) 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 adviser, our teacher, and our friend! Eleven

Alembic - Janis L. Best, B.S., M.T., A.S.C.P. Instructor in Pharmacy Wc sincerely wish to extend a welcome to the newest member of the faculty. We feel confident that her thorough knowledge of the subject will enable her to uphold the stand- ards of the very important subject which she teaches. 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 Dr. Dwyer comes to us from St. Francis' College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham University’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. ■ Twelve
