12 THE CLARION $anwarh IN publishing this first issue of the CLARION it has been the con- stant aim and endeavor of the editors to place before our fellow students a book which would be an ever-lasting remembrance of the days when the College of Pharmacy was our home. In the pages that follow, the activities, joys, hopes, pathos and humor of the Class of 1920 have been faithfully recorded. We want each student to feel that it is his or her book, and that we, as editors, are only expressing the opinions of the class. We desire that in years to come, when glanc- ing thru these pages you will live over again those scenes, which, tho common every-day experiences now, will then be a treasure box of pleasant memories. We will be amply repaid if the classes of the future will follow our precedent an issue each year a similar book and thus keep alive the spirit of cooperation and comradeship of the Class of 1920. L.

T tl E C L A 1 I N 13 THE one outstanding thing that impresses a newcomer to the College of Pharmacy is a thing that is conspicuous by its absence, namely College Spirit. The general attitude of the average student attending the college is not much different from that of a fellow taking a business course at night school. He is attending college when he is not working rather than working in his spare college hours. As a result he experiences about as much of that life that men, old men, like to talk about, namely those good old college days, as the average plumber does. We have an excellent faculty, men who are leaders in their par- ticular branch of study. We have a set of laboratories unequalled in any similar institution throughout the entire country. We have a course of study the most complete of any given anywhere and the men we graduate stand among the leaders of their profession. Still something is missing. If you will sit down and do some real hard thinking, I believe that you will arrive at the same conclusion that I have. It is athletics we need. Clean healthy sports serve as nothing else can to tie the heart-strings of the student body fast to the school. You can hold a dance and you will get quite a few who will spend a pleasant evening stepping to the tune of a jazz orchestra. You can hold a smoker and you will get the other half of the class who do not enjoy dancing, but if you want to get them all and get them right, you ' ve got to have athletics. True, every one can ' t be on the team, but nevertheless, every one can be a rooter. When a fellow sees the team representing his school go on the field he seems to have a feeling of ownership and pride in it. When his team makes a good play, you ' ll find him up in the air, pounding the fellow next to him on the back, and throwing away a perfectly good five dollar hat without even thinking about it. And should you ask him about the game a few years after he graduated, you would invariably find he could tell you pretty nearly every play made, and show a good amount of spirit even then. Tell me, did you ever hear of a College of Pharmacy man displaying that much pep? If there is one he deserves a medal for he is certainly an unusual specimen. Of course. I realize the disadvantage at which we are placed, coming to school only three days a week, and without
