Student (Council a Francis J. O'Brien, K. Harris, E. McBride, E. Pelli, One of the prime requisites of a good prescription is the effective ingredients which go into its make-up. This is also true of an efficient Student Council. Composed of the president and vice-president of each class, the Student Council elected its two officers for the year. Dick Marra, president of the senior class, was chosen as chairman. To aid him with the clerical work, Bob Stote was elected secretary. Dean O'Brien, with wise leadership and keen judgement, helped solve many problems facing the council throughout the school year. The council, working for the benefit of the student body, is responsible for many decisions. Among these are the student budget, selection of the yearbook editor, and the revision of the constitution in preparation for the five year plan. And so we would like to congratulate and extend our sincere thanks to the faithful members of the thirty-fifth Student Council of Albany College of Pharmacy. J. Decker, R. Huber, R. Swann, R. Stote, R. Marra. 27

A mencan a emical Man’s fighr against disease lias, in recent years, been very successful and great strides have been taken, but there is still a need for new improvements and discoveries. These improvements will only come about through long hours of research and develop- ment. The student affiliate branch of the American Chemical Society, under the guidance of Professor George Ceresia, is an organization devoted to the stimulation of student activity along the lines of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry research. It is the hope of the A.C.S. that this stimulation may one day provide the pharmaceutical industry with future chemists. Research work in chemistry is the basis upon which the pharmaceutical industry owes its competi- tive spirit. With the advent of each new discovery, comes a new open doorway, providing the pathway for others in the field of research. Young minds with new ideas are needed to open these locked doors and to continue the ever increas- ing search for drugs which will add to man’s store- house of armaments against disease and disease- carrying organisms.
