t WILBER C. GORHAM, A.B., M.A., Ph.D. Professor of Pharmacology Doctor Gorham has had the opportunity to instruct us twice, first in the Physiology course, then in the Pharma- cology laboratory. Many times we have come to Dr. Gorham for advice in fields beyond Pharmacology, including pho- tography, physics and elec- tronics. After earning his A.B. at the University of Illinois, Doctor Gorham received his M.A. at Columbia University and his Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. Professor Hanmer is a graduate of our A.C.P. where he ob- tained his Ph.C. and B.S. in Pharmacy. In both of his courses, Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy, we have mem- orized and associated terms, names and facts which will enable us to pass our State Boards. Our thanks go to this gentleman for his patience and guidance throughout our studies. Prof. Hanmer is also the capable Kappa Psi Frater- nity advisor. BIOLOGY WERNER C. BAUM, B.S., M.S., Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Biology t LOWELL E. BINKLEY, A.B., M.A. Assistant Professor of Bacteriology Professor Binkley received his B.A. at Ohio Northern Uni- versity and his M.A. at Witten- berg College. He attempted and quite successfully educated us in the fields of Anatomy, Histology and finally Bac- teriology. We passed through many difficult moments, but hurdled each obstacle as it was presented. Among his many activities, Prof. Binkley guided us throughout the writing and publication of this yearbook. Doctor Baum received his B.S. from Syracuse University, then he went to Rutgers University to work on his M.S. and Ph.D. His magnificent method of lecturing has turned Botany and Zoology, two difficult courses, into enjoyable and thus easy subjects. Doctor Baum is usually found in the biology laboratory where he is always willing to help the often still confused Freshman and many upperclassmen. LAUREN R. HANMER, Ph.C., B.S. Assistant Professor of Pharmacojogy RUDOLPH R. DEL GIACCO, B.S., M.D. Professor of Public Health Doctor Del Giacco had the dis- tinction of attending A.C.P. for his B.S. and then to continue on at Albany Medical College for his M.D. Through his Public Health course here at the col- lege, he has shown us all the aspects of childhood and other common diseases which we will face in our own home and daily store practice. Our thanks also go to Doctor Del Giacco for treating our many illnesses and wounds during our attendance at A.C.P.

We shall always remem- ber Prof. Denegar compiling attendance statistics to deter- mine the leaders of our classes. H. RUSSELL DENEGAR, B.S., M.S. Assistant to the Dean, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy DEPARTMENT OF PHARMACY ALBERT M. WHITE, B.S., M.S. Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Professor White, a native of Connecticut, earned his B.S. at the University of Connecticut, and then became the first graduate student to receive the M.S. in Pharmacy at U. Conn. Prof. White has filled us with two outstanding memories. First his knowledge of Pharmacy Calculations and Manufactur- ing Pharmacy, but perhaps most memorable of all, his winning basketball teams dur- ing each of his six years at A.C.P., including his fabulous 13 and I season this year. BURDETTE G. DEWELL, Ph.C., A.B., M.A. Associate Professor of Pharmacy Professor Dewell, from the standpoint of service, has the most active years here at A.C.P. Except for a short leave, Professor Dewell has been with us since 1924. Prof. Dewell received his Ph.C. here at A.C.P., then his A.B. and M.A. at New York State Teach- ers College. Prof. Dewell is one of the most informed gentlemen as his scope of Knowledge goes well beyond Pharmacy to include Chemistry, Physics and Sociology. Our thanks for his wisdom and guidance. RINALDO V. DE NUZZO, B.S., M.S. Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Professor DeNuzzo is a native son of A.C.P. as he received his B.S. here just six years ago.

First attending Ontario Agri- cultural College for his B.S.A., Professor Ewart went on to McGill University for his M.Sc. and then over to the University of Minnesota for his Ph.D. degree. Many times we have stumbled over his problems on Quantitative Analysis and Bio- chemistry. As we look back we realize the satisfaction we had when we completed the courses. JOSEPH M.
