Mr P Kerker Mr. J. Adams Mr F Pokorr HE academic year 192R-29, being the second of our operation under the three-year schedule, has witnessed several innovations in our laboratory methods, especially in the second year of both College and University classes. No matter how pharmacists differ in their views regarding the comparative utility of the several branches of the pharmacy curriculum, they are agreed on the principle that the student should know the pharma- copoeia. We have taken this as our guide in the modifications of courses under- taken this year and have tried to show the student that the U. S. Pharmacopoeia is more than a mere book which he must purchase and use in examinations. The Pharmacopoeia is used as a working book in pharmacy and chemistry and we have endeavored to establish it in a similar position as regards pharmacognosy. Ability to so use it requires or pre-supposes a fair knowledge of several branches of science among which are pharmacy, chemistry and botany. The teaching of botany and histology in the first year lays the foundation for pharmacognosy and but little modification has thus far been attempted in the first year program. Our efforts this year have centered upon methods to secure closer coordination between macroscopic and microscopic pharmacognosy. The laboratory staff has agreed that by having students prepare specimens for microscopical examination directly from the crude drug, the connection between the two would be more apparent. Also the mere fact that the crude specimens have uses other than as reference materials for pre-examination study, tends toward coordination. An increase in the amount of time at our disposal has permitted the adoption of several plans to stimulate interest in pharmacognosy. The new apportionment of time has also made possible a rearrangement of the work of the University Classes whereby all general botany, including the cryptog- amic division, is placed in the first ye;;r, macroscopic pharmacognosy in the third year. This is a more logical sequence of topics than heretofore and the change becomes fully operative during the 1929-1930 session. The keynote of our laboratory record for this year is experimentation in teaching methods. We are attempting to ascertain by actual trial, as differentiated from theory, how we may improve methods of presentation and how we may best realise our chief objective — a wider use of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia in the studies of the botany laboratory. C. W. Ballard. Eighteen HE Commonwealth Survey, a pharmacy research project carried on amcng retail pharmacists throughout the country, under the direction of Dr. Charters of Chicago, brought a universal request fcr a course in the biology of micro-organisms for graduates in pharmacy. The addition of a third year to cur college curriculum made this request possible. It was not deemed advisable, however, to include anything more than the fundamentals concerning the nature of micro-organisms, their relation to disease, principles of sterilization and antisepsis, the phenomenon of immunity and methods of antitoxin, serum and vaccine preparation. A minimum amount of laboratory work as a cultural aid in understanding the terms and technique concern- ing the manufacture of biologicals has added much interest to the course. When- ever feasible we have solicited the aid of the biological houses for additional illus- trated lectures. The University Class retains its well-equipped bacteriological laboratory in the new building. The subject matter given to these students includes the study and cultivation of pathogenic micro-organisms, differentiation between normal and patho- logical blood, bacterial examination of water, air, milk, sputum and excreta, methods of sterilization and disinfection. The University curriculum in bacteriology differs from the college course in that the latter deals primarily with the stock biologicals handled in the drug store. In the way of added equipment for the course in bacteriology the department was fortunate in being able to receive from our ever-liberal trustees sufficient appro- priation for a bacteriological refrigerator, electrical centrifuge and water-still. We believe our new bacteriological laboratory with its adequate steel lockers, modern tables and ample equipment for our University students has left nothing to be desired. Fanchon Hart. Nineteen Henry V. Arny, Ph.M., Ph.D., F.C.S. S Dr. Kassner is to write for the 1929 Year Book in behalf of the Chemical Laboratories, this message comes from that portion of the chemical staff responsible for the lectures and recitations. In behalf of that group I present cordial greetings to the students whom we have the opportunity to instruct. We are glad to have the privilege of guiding our 6S1 students along the paths of Pharmaceutical Chemistry whether that path leads to pupil, to the retail pharmacy, to the analytic laboratory, to the manufacturing plant or to a position either on our own or on some other faculty. OUR LECTURE STAFF consisting of the Head Professor, Assistant Professor Taub and Instructors Sewell and Anselmi, endeavor to carry out the fine traditions of our Department and to keep ever fresh and new the splendid lecture courses as inaugurated many years ago by that great chemist and still greater teacher Dr. Charles F. Chandler. In this connection mention must be made of the lectures delivered by Dr. Schaefer (second year physics and third year physical chemistry) and by Dr. Kassner (fourth year quantitative analysis). OUR QUIZ MASTERS headed by Assistant Professor Taub and including our enthusiastic corps of instructors Messrs. Sewell, Anzelmi, Jayne, Soren and Miss Dimler are entrusted with one of the most important responsibilities in our whole scheme of chemical instruction. This group possess a privilege now denied the head of the Department, the privilege of close personal contact with the students of the first three years. It is our custom to assign to every instructor, whether primarily a laboratory man or a lecture co-worker, some, of the recitation periods as a part of his work. In this way each instructor is kept in touch with the entire field of our teaching activity. The entire group of chemistry teachers mentioned above extend through me, their Head Professor, their cordial greetings to all of the students of 1929. We are glad that we have had the opportunity of learning to know you. We are proud of having the privilege of teaching you. H. V. Arny. Ticcntu- Two wMimm m whmtm m OEM TRY TOKY 1 WHBBa l V ' EN though the chemistry laboratory course of the graduating University Class is the longest course of l aboratory instruction given in the college, yet it holds throughout the keen interest of the students; this is evident when one has only a glympse of the nature of the work. The student is trained to carry out tests and assays on Pharmacopoeial substances just as if he were a chemist in the analytical laboratory of a manufacturing house. During the first part of the year, the student is engaged in testing samples of official organic chemicals for identity and purity, in order to see whether they con- form to the requirements of their respective monographs in the Pharmacopoeia; this type of work involves determinations of boiling points, congealing and melting points, and specific gravities, as well as fractionations and alcoholmetric estimations. In the second period, several weeks are spent in preparing and standardizing volumetric solutions, which are then used in the assay of various important types of pharmaceutical products such as Dakins Solution, Chloramine, Calcium Iodo- behenate, Essential Oils, Mercurial Ointment, Phenol, and Pancreatin. The third part of the year ' s work includes the interesting subject of alkaloidal assaying of such types as Cinchona, Belladonna Leaves, Nux Vomica, Ipecac, and Colchicum Seed, also the gasometric determination of Ethyl Nitrate in Sweet Spirit of Nitre. The course is concluded with the chemical examination of normal and abnormal samples of urine. On the completion of a course such as this, whether the student choses a career in a manufacturing house or in a prescription pharmacy, he is far better equipped as to the intimate knowledge of the composition and properties of the important chemicals and pharmaceuticals used in modern medicine, than if he had taken the shorter course which prepares for the State License only. Because of this very large University Class it was necessary for the Instructors to begin the preparation of the thousands of samples and hundreds of reagents in the early part of last summer; it is only through the loyalty and cooperation of Mr. Lieberman and Miss Dimler that it has been possible to carry out successfully, even down to the smallest detail, the large amount of work entailed throughout the year. The Members of the Teaching Staff in charge of the Chemistry Laboratory wish to extend to their student friends of the Graduating Class of 1929, their good wishes for success in their future careers. Herbert C. Kassner. Ticenly-Threv Curt P. Wimmer, A.M., Ph.M., Phar. D. TO THE GRADUATES OF THE YEAR 1929: OUR year of graduation is truly a remarkable one! It marks the comple- tion of a century of service rendered to pharmacy by your Alma Mater. It was during the months of March, April, May and June 1829, that a comparatively small group of pharmacists assembled, from time to time, in the Shakespeare Tavern, located at the corner of Nassau and Fulton Streets, to discuss the question of improving conditions in the drug busi- ness. They were troubled particularly by their difficulty in obtaining competent clerks. It was finally decided that the best thing that could be done would be to afford the opportunity of studying the subjects of Materia Medica, Botany and Chemistry to the young men desiring to become pharmacists. The establishment of a lecture course in these subjects was suggested. Mr. John D. Keese, a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and a member of the firm of Lawrence, Keese and Co., enlarged on this proposal by suggesting the establishment of a college for that purpose. This was agreed upon, and in December, 1829, the first lecture was delivered in the newly founded College of Pharmacy of the County and City of New York. That little college, housed in a dingy room in a dispensary, consisting of two teachers and three students, meeting but twice a week for three months, has now grown into an institution included within the largest university in the world. It has its own fine building, a staff of over forty teachers and a student body of over seven hundred. In adition, it has the splendid record of having supplied to the world about eight thousand graduates in pharmacy, many of them men of name and fame. It has, during the century of its life, taken its place on the side of every movement made for the betterment of pharmacy. In fact, its history is the history of the progress of pharmacy, during that period. The development of our college was due to the unselfish effort of men interested in their chosen profession, to men of vision and of ideals. It must not be forgotten, however, that the young men of t.iday must carry on the work as their elders have in the past. Let me appeal to you, ther;foie, graduates of the Class of 1929, to remain inter- ested in your college even al ' £r graduation, to take pride in the fact that you were educated in an institution of such fine traditions, to emulate the example set by the men whose efforts have made our college what it is today. In doing this, you will discharge an obligation imposed upon you by your predecessors. Curt P. Wimmer. Twenty-Six ITTit J3 X £ m%m TO THE JUNIOR CLASS OF 1929, GREETINGS NE of the wise men of ancient Israel said, ' ' Beware of a teacher until you know his interest. May I state that my interest is like that of the Jews of old, to advise you to journey toward the sunrise. The careful training of these years of study was intended to make life a success. Beyond that and above that the college aims to develop the self- reliance and courage which enable the student to stand squarely and without fear by the convictions of his own mmd and by the commands of his own conscience. Teachings such as these develop self control and cause one to be master of himself; they stimulate ability and desire to acquire knowledge, and to apply that knowledge fully and properly. While in the pharmaceutical laboratory, this past year and under the direct super- vision of Professor Carter, you gradually acquired many of these qualities — self- reliance in the improvisation of special apparatus to carry out your work; the checking of your results accurately and carefully; the understanding that another ' s work need not necessarily be a standard for your work; courage to honestly admit your failure and to try again; knowledge you acquired and the application of that knowledge to the work at hand. In conclusion! conjure you to cherish the lofty aspirations which move you upon turning these pages which are the written records of your class; to keep always full in view the honorable goal toward which your faces now are set; and so to run that you may win the prise of your chosen profession.

Thiriu-Tico HISTORY, FOURTH YEAR UNIVERSITY CLASS AVING survived three years of strife and struggle, it was with much hand- shaking and back-slapping that eleven of us greeted each other on Septem- ber 26, 1928, in the Physics Laboratory. The first laboratory course of eight weeks 1 duration was Gravimetric Analysis under the direction of Dr. Kassner. We were given to under- stand that unlike the previous years we were to work slowly and accurately. Time not being an element we had to work against, and having plenty of space and apparatus, the results which we obtained were excellent, it being said that no previous class did as well. The next eight weeks in Food Analysis under Dr. Amy and Professor Taub proved to be both interesting and practical. Examination of milk, butter, urine, vinegar, water and poisoned meat samples were all carried out in detail. The samples were all unknowns and the class as a whole made out well in this work. It was with awe and respect that our class assembled in the Botany Laboratory on January 28th to start our course with Dr. Rusby in Taxonomy. His remarkable personality, fearlessness and effort which had carried him through so many years of teaching were at once evident. Identification and classification of plants con- stituted our work under him. Though our work was difficult, his personal interest and contact carried us through. This course was divided with Pharmacognosy under Dr. Ballard. The same system which had characterised his courses hereto- fore was evident here. The last eight weeks were spent with Dr. Wimmer in the Pharmacy Department. The more difficult assays of the U. S. P. were given to us. Later in the course we each did individual work on any assay we chose. Throughout the year we received lectures. Physiology and Physiological Chenv ' stry were given at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the former by Dr. Hopping, the latter by Dr. Karshan. Dr. Kassner gave us lectures in Quantitative Analysis, Dr. Amy in Food Analysis and Bibliography, and Dr. Wimmer in Advanced Pharmacy. Social activities for the year were limited due to the size of the class. Dinner parties in which members of the faculty were invited were frequently held. The end of the year finds us all on a road which has many pathways. What the future holds in store for us is unknown. Wherever we may be or whatever success we may obtain, the pleasant days we spent at C. U. C. P. will never be forgotten. Joseph Schultz. Thirty-Three u E.GUSS HISTORIAN IRVING B.

However, underneath that hard covering we are willing to ven- ture that there beats the heart of a real he-man. One thing we have noticed in particu- lar is his fondness for running titrations. If he is as careful in the rest of his ven- tures as he is with these, we are sure that he will be both a credit to himself and to his profession. Irank? Yes, just as his name sug- I gests, frank and good-natured, as ■ESS] anybody in class is willing to tes- fc™ 3 tify. Frank thinks he is a big, bad he-man — well, despite the fact that he claims to use Aqua Regia in- stead of Aqua Velva, we ' ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Eddie certainly is a connoisseur of men, women, and shows. His fine sense of humor and unlimited number of jokes have often done much to keep up our spirits. He carries with him our well wishes, especially those of his best friend, Shanghai. Ine cannot possibly conceive of the I name, George Cherr, without re- W M membering that dashing figure on a basketball court. George was a member of the Championship Team of 1928, and as a reward for his courage, manliness, and good-sportsmanship was made captain of the 1929 team. One cannot possibly forget George as that nonchalant, dosing figure of Lec- ture Hall days. Although a whirlwind on the court, in school one finds him just a modest, unassuming young man. But Georgie ' s sleepiness is readily pardonable when you consider that he must study after basketball practice. Fortu-Tu IRVING S. COHEN Comae Mamaronec High School. C. C. ? [. T.

Cohen, so to speak, thinks that he should have held such a position while at school. The class, so to speak, thinks otherwise. Nevertheless, we really have a great deal of admiration for him. A good student, a hard worker, and with some pet theories that do hold water, he mer- its the confidence of many of us. Most of us go to quiss classes to learn something. Irv, however, has a different motive. He checks up on the instruc- tors, so to speak. CHE quiet behavior and modest na- ture of this young gentleman tend to disguise the real Costy, but we ' re not going to let him get away with it. A regular fellow, jolly as can be, and blessed with a keen perception and quick appreciation, he makes good company anywhere. Tho ' he may lean backward himself, he certainly doesn ' t try to re- form the rest of us. Costy has been taking Dr. Wimmer ' s special Cosmetic course and intends to specialise in manufacturing.

Carroll has made a host of friends while here in New York, and is one of the most popular boys in the class. His sterling qualities have endeared him to all. An earnest worker, willing helper, and perfect gentleman, he is bound to be a success. He is often seen in the company of his friend, Davey. These two are as inseparable and as true to each other as Damon and Pythias. gl NOTHER ONE of those nice, quiet I boys is Del, who attends strict- ly to business and is as level- headed as they make them. In the three years of our association with him, we have rarely heard his voice raised in protest against anything. Never shirking a duty, never complaining, he completes his tasks carefully and dili- gently. However, Del is by no means a model boy. He likes his good times, just like the rest of us, and it is known that he cuts capers that would cause not a few of us to blink our eyes in surprise. You have the right idea, Del.

Herb made his claim for class fame in the first year, when he used to pull so many high marks. It ' s guys like him that make it hard for guys like us, to quote Eddie Guss. He certainly has not lost his faculty for hitting the high marks. He is still at it. Don ' t take the high-minded look too seriously, folks, ' cause Herb is a jolly good- fellow.

A real, live fellow, ambitious worker, and always willing to stand up for his rights, he is known and liked by every- one. He and his friend, Pete, both small- town boys, have cut a streak in the city that would make most of us New York- ers envious. The chambermaids of Livingston Hall will heave many a sigh of relief when this pair is gone. HARRY FRIES Hash Brooklyn Tech High School. Hobby: Camping ash and Einstein are alike in the respect that they both work on 5gl theories that are beyond the scope of the average intelligent man. We are even willing to venture that Harry ' s theories are more difficult to un- derstand, for he picks that most compli- cated science of all — women. After three years of work, including a lot of prac- tical experience, he is willing to admit that he has made no headway. Hash, without a doubt, is one of the best liked men in the class. Good-nat- ured, conscientious and dependable, it is with pride that we are able to choose him as a friend. And versatile? He can do anything from writing music to play- ing ping-pong. He is always welcome anywhere, and what an addition to a bull session !

One of his favorite pastimes is telling the girls what a had, bold man he is. How shall we describe Percy to you? How can we put into words the insou- ciant, care-free spirit, the illimitable good-humor that makes him the target for so much razzing and sallies of wit from his friends? It is hardly sufficient to say that he is always ready for a frolic, and, like all good collegians, be- lieves that work should never supersede play. A good sport? Yes, decidedly so. XN the height of a Lab session, when glass apparatus is merrily clinking on the floor and students are choking from Nitric Acid fumes, out comes the melodious strain of Hey! Irv. To picture Lou as being happy without his side-kick, Irving, is quite an impossibility. This young man of 110 pounds is the pride of every one of us. Never have we seen anyone work as quickly, accu- rately and efficiently as he does. This, mixed with a good share of common sense, a fine sense of humor, and a won- derful personality, should undoubtedly make him one of the outstanding men of his profession. Fifiu FREDERICK J.

Just a quiet, modest and good-natured worker who has never been known to speak about others and has readily given a helping hand. With great forethought, Frits has be- come an expert musician and an active member of an orchestra. We look to him to lift up Pharmacy from a medi- ocre science to one of the Higher Arts. At any rate, be it Pharmacy or Mu- sic, with either profession at his com- mand, Fred should not find it hard to play, I ' m sitting on top of the world. It is indeed an act of Providence that Gordon managed to survive 53355 being with us for three years in 333™ i n these hardy prohibition days, when even Tincture of Tinif is eager- ly devoured to satiate our mad thirst. A level-headed young man with a great thirst for knowledge is Ginn. His hobbies include bad women, and that alone is a vast field of endeavor. Per- sonally we ' d much rather start with good women and gradually lead into the other class. But everyone to his own taste, as the lady who kissed the pig remarked.

Whether it be for a pair of rubber gloves in the Lab, a date with a red- headed girl, or a job in City Hall, Milt is always there with his ways and means. We, indeed, can predict for him a brilliant future — as a Big Boss. In the days of stump campaigning, he cer- tainly would have been a flashing figure. Wait until Tammany Hall hears about him — we may yet have a Mayor-Phar- macist in New York. Hooey is the proud possessor of a Ph.G., but he has decided that he wants to know more about Pharmacy, and so became a re- cent addition to our class. Though a newcomer, he has made many friends. Like Paul Revere, he too made a Nit- ride. Two things we shall always remember about him — the intelligent look on his sleepy countenance while engrossed (?) in the herculean task of absorbing a lec- ture, and his versatility with the women; one little lady in particular. Need we mention any names? For a New Jersey product we must admit that he is good. Fitty-Two PETER J. GLICKFIELD Cowboy Pete Glen Cove High School.

As he himself says, I ain ' t partial. His genial good humor and mirth-pro- voking spontaneity kept us all happy. No Lab had a chance to become mo- notonous with Pete in the offing. It would be pretty hard to point out his gang. Everybody that knows him is glad to have this lanky, tow-headed farmer for a friend. DAVID GORENBERG Shanghai De Witt Clinton High School. X- T. U.

The most plausible expla- nation to date seems to be that he in some way resembles the Shanghai Ges- ture. Although Dave has been chosen the Class Pygmy, it appears to us that Elf would be a more appropriate name. A more mischievous rascal we have failed to come across in the last three years. See what N. Y. U. will do to a man! Despite handicaps, Dave has succeed- ed in pulling himself up to standard by dint of hard work and a never-say-die spirit. Good stuff, Dave, and good luck to you !

Gloom and Cactus is our idea of a perfect incompatibility. Always cheer- ful, never downcast, Joe is an ideal com- panion for frolic or for study. Seriously speaking, he is an excellent student, and has been a very active mem- ber of the class. There is no doubt that the success of the Apothekan, from an artistic standpoint, is largely due to his contributions. Fifty-Four REGINALD D. GROVES Reggie Piainjield High School.

Besides the technique he employs in creating orifices in otherwise practical glass apparatus, Reggie has achieved renown in his own circles as an accom- plished musician. In fact, rumor has it that he can scrape a fiddle somewhat cleverer than the average Ph.Ch. We wish he would teach us how to scrape together enough metallic gold to sit on ' Easy Street. ' — | ACOB is one of those students who, J while never up to date in his work, tries his utmost to inter- fere with others. His chief pas- time is ridiculing those who endeavor their best — those who do a preparation over. This unhappy trait will harm you. Perhaps he does know a great deal, but this does not empower one to ridi- cule others. It is well known that con- structive criticism helps those criticized as well as aiding in gaining their good- will.

He was not only con- tent to excel in that field, but by his dili- gent care in selecting the proper habili- ment, he has really earned the title of Best Dressed. That may not seem offhand a very great task, but when it is considered that it takes great courage and a brave heart to combine a beautiful orange cravat with purple dots with a gray shirt with green squares, and further enhance them by a navy blue suit, the honor increases tremendously.

He has already laid the foundations for a mixed career as landscape decorator, humorist, sportsman and pharmacist. As a wit, this young man with the remarkable red moustache (or sky-blue pink, with apologies to Dr. Amy) has proven himself in such a manner as to endear him to professors and instructors. Most assuredly, we hope that Ben doesn ' t enlarge upon his talents and em- bark upon a career as a humorist, for our profession needs men with the foresight, determination and intelligence found in this popular member of our class. LOUIS P. HOYTE Xew Yor Evening High School. Hobby : Titrating ep T is indeed with deep sorrow that we are about to part with this 55SS5 worthy gentleman. It has taken issea us three years to be able to un- derstand him when he spoke, and now we are at the crossroads. Hoyte has been doing some extensive research work, especially during his last year, and he has finally arrived at the point where he can state with a fair de- gree of accuracy that his apparatus was good to the last drop. Chalk up an- other one for modern advertising. Not only that, but he claims further that if all the excess apparatus he ' ll have to re- place were placed upright, end to end, it would faw down and go boom. Fifty-Seven THERESA C.

CDC Iuch a serious, thoughtful girl, and would you believe it — Theresa is in love! Still water runs deep, they say, and we certainly did find that out — for who would have thought Theresa, of all girls, as she in- dustriously works about the Lab, to be thinking of anything but her work. However, no matter what her feelings are, Theresa certainly does know her U. S. P. from Acacia all the way down to Zingiber, and we are sure that if she so chooses, she can make a complete success of her scientific course. Henry works next to Hoyte, and one would naturally infer that he, WSS too, is engaged in research. These  - ■ two contenders for the Nobel Prize, Henry in particular, have been wandering about the Lab acquiring ad- ditional information for their thesis on How to get a practical yield of 100% — of course, that is, without imposing upon your neighbor. Henry, like Mussolini, is also a diplo- mat. Whenever he approaches us for the desired information, he seems to con- vey the impressions that he believes us implicitly, whether right or wrong.

Hobby: Grinding Vox Pojnuli S T E T, Eyman has an advantage over most of us — a man of experience, he has a more serious outlook on life, not due to the fact that he is a hit older than most students, but because he served his country in that great deba- cle, the World War, gaining a world of experience, which matures any man be- fore his time. With this as a basis, he entered our school and has been a success in every- thing he has undertaken. Withal, he is quiet and retiring, making it hard for one to gain his confidence, but neverthe- less making a true friend. It is with all our best wishes that he leaves us. Cms chappie (with apologies to Dr. Amy) received some high marks for such a little fellow. He has earned them too, for if any- one, during the past three years, has worked harder than Issie has to ac- quire that elusive sheepskin, that per- son is entitled to our heartfelt sympathy. But Bill Isgar can look back upon his school career with the satisfaction of having received ratings no one would re- fuse, and if he carries o n in business where he left off in school, there is little doubt but that his indomitable spirit and persistent efforts will cause him to be pointed out with pride by members of his profession, as one of their own.

It is not an unusual sight to observe Mr. Jae finishing first during an exam. And who is there in class who will not vouch for the fact that his Luckies are just as good as Andy ' s? uiet as a mouse at times, but of wonderful sincerity and helpful- |HS| ness, Edith is a fountain of will- ■™™ ingness. Her laughter is quite contagious, especially when she tells her noon-time stories. Her lecture notes are very thorough, excepting in spots where bountiful sleep had overtaken her weary brain during lectures. Unlike the rest of the girls in class, Edith does all her work by herself, and what is more, gets good results. A shin- ing example of the proverb, God helps those that help themselves. Whether it be for a course in making pharmaceuticals or a course in making meals to please her man, she will un- doubtedly be a success. Sixty FRANK B.

Nevertheless, good folks, besides being gifted with the above mentioned, Bill has the happy faculty of being studiously inclined, and this, combined with a good portion of common sense, should make the name, F.

It is his quaint co-ugh that has en- deared him so to his fellow classmates. That attracts attention to his school-girl complexion. We sometimes wonder whether or not a dilute solution of Eosin would not give that same shade. Withal, Archie is a good sport, good scholar, and an excellent gambler. Sixty-One HERBERT B.

Not only does he intend to fill prescriptions, but also to study lymphocytes, erythrocytes, and other work connected with blood analysis, with which the common phar- macist is not so familiar. Anyone knowing him intimately will vouch for the fact that he will be thor- ough and exact in his work, and that in his own quiet way he will cause his friends and school to be proud of his achievements. Quite the opposite of his friend, Archie, Herb has made many friends. We feel sure that his ambition will only be surpassed by his certain success. EMANUEL M.

But to those who know, i t simply signifies the fact that Manny Kerner is singing again. All who have heard Manny sing wish him a wonderful career, — in Pharmacy. Here he can apply his talents, which we all know he possesses, and, besides, it is unethical to sing when in an Rx room, or behind the counter. At least in this business Manny is as- sured of a longer and happier life than if he were engaged otherwise. Sixty-Two MARTIN I. KOLK Marty De Witt Clinton High School. C. C. K r.

Yet Marty found time, besides, to be a cheer leader and Chairman of the Key Committee. Is it any wonder that he was voted the most active member of his class?

As a grind this old patriarch hasn ' t many equals, and we have a faint suspicion that it is to this characteristic that the premature aging is due. Nevertheless, his good nature and will- ingness to help those less fortunate than himself have placed him on a high plane in the minds of his fellow students. It is rumored that this Foxy Grand- pa aspires to be a connoisseur of femi- nine beauty. But there — we are telling secrets out of school, and we ' ll save fur- ther remarks until after we have met the girl friend. ALEXANDER LEVY Al Boys ' High School Hobby: Graphic Formulae JULIAN S.

In reality, so intense is his ambition, it is believed that any day in the near future he is liable to work one out. This would not be surprising, for in that quiet manner of his he is apt to accomplish anything. Only those in close contact with Al realise how well he is supplied with that gray matter known as brains, and these people are willing to stake any- thing that some day he will do such a big thing in such a big way as to bring honor to himself and credit to his school. It would not be fair to speak about Julian without at least men- 355S5 tioning something about that fa- !s ™ s mous pipe which has been his companion since he was a freshman. Tho ' it is beginning to wither with age, Julian manages to keep it rigid with ad- hesive tape, and just won ' t part with it. We wonder whether it was his girl frien d who said, I just adore a man with a pipe ? Who was it that said women and books are like oil and water — they won ' t mix?

On the other hand, there might be a second Hei- fits among us, which would not be sur- prising to those who know him, for his conscientious work during his three years of study would cause those, even not so well acquainted with him, to believe that he is capable of attaining any height for which he strives.

It was most surprising, too, for during the first two years of school one heard hardly a sound from him, but evidently a great deal of pent-up energy had to be transformed into work, and the result was — a great contributor to Bill Kadish ' s collection. Here ' s hoping Lou hasn ' t many distil- lations to run wherever he is employed, for otherwise, in his strong, silent man- ner, he is a most efficient workman, and should prove a blessing in disguise to any employer.

But, alas! While receiving the honors showered upon him with due modesty, Milt awoke in time to take his notes on ' molar concentration. For a very good reason he was chosen most dignified and it is this quality, together with that keenness of mind for which he is so well known, that should make him an outstanding member of his chosen profession.

If, however, he decides to remain in his profession, it will be Tin Pan Al- ley ' s loss, and Pharmacy ' s gain, for those who know Lou expect great things from him, and are certain that only time will prove that their expectations were correct.

If memory serves us right, he was known as Acetic during our freshman year, but that was rather sour. Turning now to Pat as a student and classmate, his only fault is that he comes from Jamaica. Otherwise he is a good-natured, regular fellow, enjoying a popularity he richly deserves. His abil- ity as a pharmacist needn ' t be ques- tioned, for anyone working alongside of him will confirm the statement that his results speak for themselves.

Way back in 1929, strange to relate, Mr. Pekarsky was chosen as the quiet- est of his class. Evidently some terrible mistake had been made here, but Pekar- sky had risen above such an appelation and had made for himself a name well to the front amongst those successes of 1929.

Anyone noticing how his Royal Highness walked into the Pharmacy Lab at any time con- venient for him, wondered how his work was accomplished so well in the time he had. In fact, Barney appears to be a magician with more than his share of luc in more ways than one. Swimming is his hobby. Perhaps he is looking forward to the time when he can take out flood insurance on his store, and start a flood, thereby putting this particular talent to good advantage. It is hoped, though, that he will concen- trate his thoughts on higher ideals. IF there is anything in a name, Race will probably race to suc- cess, and will undoubtedly dis- pense Citrate of Magnesia and pills to an ailing world from either his own or his father ' s counter. Clarence, despite his name, is all man, standing every bit of 5 ft. 2 in his stock- ings. Although he hails from Bayshore, Clarence is by no means a farmer.

To be fair, however, perhaps we should admit that our cattyness is born of envy. To see this pert little co-ed race through Lab work compels both our admiration and despair. And in the exams! When we fellows are perspiringly starting the sec- ond half, Frances is handing in her paper.

MEYER WAGMAN JACOB WEBER Eighty-eight WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD HUMANITY? T is a very pleasant and wholesome custom that calls for a parting message from teacher to students who have been under his personal influence for a term of years. After you are gone, we shall often look at your vacant places and speculate as to how far the current of your lives will differ from what it would have been had we never been associated. I can think of no greater service that I could render this class than to assist you to a correct view of your relations to humanity. I once heard a judge sentence three young men to life imprisonment, using the following words. I intend to destroy your usefulness to society 1 ' ; the most awful doom that I ever heard pronounced. The loss of their own comfort and pleasure for the remainder of their lives was quite insignificant in comparison with this deprivation of the one privilege that makes a healthy life joyous and successful. The problem of successful living is mathematical, even when we are unable to calculate it accurately. To the sum total of human accomplishment you must con- tribute more than you receive. You must not take more from it than is your just due, or you must strike an even balance; in which last case, the best that can be said of you is that the world is no worse for your having lived in it. The vast majority of human beings, in the present state of society, are not satisfied with this negative position. Their aim in life is to extort as much more than their service is worth, as the conditions will permit, and to reduce their contribution to. the smallest practicable amount, but through the fortunate adjustment of human affairs, they are compelled to serve for their living, while a large minority are activated by the urge to contribute free and voluntary service in addition to that for which compensation is a necessity. The net result of this combination is a slow upward development of the human race, and the growth and improvement of this develop- ment is dependent upon the growth of this minority, and the business of the teacher, of both young and old, is to develop this benevolent inclination. When this taste is once acquired and the habit of contributing is securely formed, they will determine the character of all acts, in every relation and they will lay the foundations for a joyous satisfaction, increasing with age, that cannot come from any other source. No contradiction of this truth is to be found in any system of philosophy or religion that has ever been advanced, and it is strange that the world should be so slow in adopting it as a living guide. As a personal advisor in whom I believe you all confide, I can say nothing to you with greater assurance and earnestness on this solemn occasion than that the election of this course in life will bring you a greater and better success than any other to which you can commit yourselves. Henry H. Rusby. Eighty) CENTENNIAL OF THE NEW YORK COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AY 27th, 1929, marks the hundredth year of the founding of the New York College of Pharmacy. At this time fitting ceremonies will take place to celebrate the Centennial of one of the leading colleges of pharmacy in the United States. Let us look back over those hundred years. One day in the early part of the month of May, 1829, a group of men gathered together in a room of the Shakespeare Hotel. These men were interested in the art and science of compounding prescriptions, and met for the purpose of founding an institution of learning that would further the profession of pharmacy. The first officers of the association were: John D. Keese, President; Henry H. Schieffelin, John L. Embree and Waldron B. Post, First, Second and Third Vice- Presidents respectively; Theodore Keese, Treasurer; and Olive Hull, Secretary. The Trustees were Henry T. Kiersted, Patrick Dickie, Constantine Adamson, P. H. Lalonctte, J. C. Haviland and Lindley Murray. An appointed committee drew up the Constitution and By-Laws. The qualifica- tions for membership were: Good moral character and an aptitude for the profession. Lectures were commenced in December 1829 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. During the next twenty-four years the college moved from one part of the city to another. Lectures and demonstrations were given under most difficult conditions. Conditions of the state of affairs of the College steadily grew worse, for back in the forties, bonds had been issued and sold by the. College to obtain money for the purchase of a piece of property. Originally these bonds had been sold only to friends of the College, but in the course of time they were sold and resold and a number fell into the hands of persons who had no interest in the College or in the bonds excepting that of getting all they could for them. Interest on the bonds had been defaulted and a suit was started by the bondholders. To make matters worse the charter granted in 1841 expired in 1S56 and the complainants demanded the property of the College to be sold to satisfy the debt. This of course would have meant complete dissolution of the College. Fortunately friends of the College came forward and finally satisfied the holders of the bonds and only after great sacrifices was the weak structure of the College saved. For the ten years following this period the College struggled along fitfully until in 1868 matters changed. The she of the student body increased tremendously due to the fact that the College had been fortunate enough to add three men to its forces whose names were guarantees enough for any one who really wanted to study pharmacy, that the instruction offered would be of the highest class. These men were Drs. Chandler, Squibb and Rice. Dr. Squibb served actively as a teacher for only one year, but maintained his interest in the College up to the time of his death and his advice and help were invaluable. Dr. Rice was an administrator. His services were of great value as a member of the Board of Trustees and as J inety librarian. Dr. Charles Chandler served as a Professor of Chemistry for forty-four years. He retired as a member of the faculty in 1910. During the Presidency of Mr. Fairchild, whose connection with the College dated back to the year 1887, many changes took place. The new building was completed in March 1894. Professor Rusby was placed in charge of the Department of Materia Medica, succeeding Professor Schreich; Professor Bedford resigned in 1S91 and Professor Coblent? was engaged as Professor of Pharmacy. In the same year Pro- fessor Diekman joined the faculty, succeeding Professor Nulling, who had accepted a position in the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. It is also interesting to note that the question of an affiliation of the College was first considered during President Fairchild ' s time. The original proposition to include this College in Columbia University came from President Butler. Naturally, before the negotiations could even be be gun Columbia University inquired care- fully into the quality of the teaching staff, equipment, courses, etc. Quoting Dr. Chandler, The proposal for this union emanated from the University constituted the highest compliment that could be paid to the College. The affiliation took place in 1904. The standards of the College have steadily increased until at present every student in attendance is a graduate of a recognised high school, or possessed of an equivalent preparatory education. The Faculty has increased steadily until it now numbers twenty-six active professors and instructors. The new library is one of the most beautiful and convenient in the city and its catalogue is rapidly being enlarged by gift, purchase and exchange. It is in continuous charge of a com- petent librarian and its facilities are being more and more utilised and appreciated by the pharmaceutical public as well as by the students. Most important of all the changes in the work of the College is the new and growing conviction that pharmacists should not be trained merely in professional duties but should be ranked among the educated classes of the community and should represent the higher grade of citizenship. In this one hundredth anniversary the present institution of the New York College of Pharmacy is a monument to the memorv of the pioneers who made it possible. Georgia A. Schubert.

N.met;yone HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1929 I HREE years crowded with pleasant memories, unceasing tedious labor, occasional periods of difficulties which seemed at times unsurmountable, have passed. This history, however, deals with the pleasant things which we have encountered, with the deeply imbedded impressions which will not be eradicated by Father Time. The Fall of 1926 witnessed our entrance as freshmen with high hopes and lofty aspirations. The kind words of our esteemed and venerable Dean at the opening exercises instilled within us the courase necessary for the great task that lay before us. At the first class meeting the officers of the year were chosen. Gus Savarese was elected President, Louis Rubenstein, Vice-President; Ralph Capiro, Secretary-Treasurer, and Sidney Wang, Historian. With such an array of capable leaders the work of the year was begun in earnest. Studies be- came clouds which slowly seeped into our bewildered intellects only after hours of grilling quizzes and instructive lectures. The joy of beginning the first year was clouded by the sad news of the death of one of our esteemed faculty members, Pro- fessor Jeannot Host- mann. This news was a source of much regret to us, for we had looked upon him as a leader in our new- There may have been wonderful affairs tendered by the differ- ent classes of the Col- lege of Pharmacy, but they were all excelled on the evening of May 18th, 1927, when the University Classes met at the Hotel Ma- jestic for the year ' s farewell.

One year passed as we were nearing our goal The year before we had entered as freshmen, full of hope and determination to succeed, and with certain ideals which we kept ever before us. These ideals had not been lost in our one year ' s study, rather they had grown and seemed nearer to attainment. As freshmen, the three years before us seemed like a huge wall blocking our progress and seemingly impossible to scale. The Sophomore year, the year of rumors, pitfalls and hazards, so thoughtfully described to us by our predecessors, was now upon us. Our first yimetytwo problem was to select a man who could successfully pilot us through this difficult period. Lawrence Fabrikant and Frank Soracco were nominated for the presidency, and after a hotly contested election Lawrence Fabrikant emerged, burdened with the office of Class President. Holding the other offices were Carroll Dayharsh, Vice-President: Miss Theresa Iozria, Secretary -Treasurer; while Edward Cuss won the office of Historian. Each member of the class had shown his loyalty and cooperation, and it seemed assured that our future years at the college would in ever) ' way indicate the best class ever. Finally as a pleasant antidote to the Mid-Year Examinations came the acme of ' 29 ' s social achievements, the long awaited Soph Prom. Lawrence Fabrikant chose as Chairman of the committee, Joseph Lo Russo, who with other members of his reflected by its mem- bers ' participation in every sphere of activ- ity. In Varsity basket- ball, the standards of ' 29 were nobly upheld by George Cherr. Quentin R. Hand and Frank Soracco, with Edward Guss at the Managerial Helm. In other fields of endeavor — literary, artistic and politically gifted Sophomores brought distinction to themselves and to their class. Martin I. Kolk was appointed Editor- in-Chief of the Stu- dents ' Colunni, with Edward Guss as an associate and Joseph Greenfield as Art Editor. Then came Spring with the ever-feared finals, and our record year was over. We said good-bye, not knowing whether we would meet again as Juniors or Sophomores, but feeling that we had done our best, and with this feeling came the consolation with which we parted for a long-needed vacation. The summer rolled by, as summers will, and we met again for the beginning of our Junior and final year. A few of the old faces were missing, swept away by that great scavenger — Examinations. Elevated to the dignity of Seniority at last! Enthusiastic were the welcomes for those returned, and sincere regrets for those absent. We now came to the last stage of our battle. With the passing of events we also passed the regular pre-requisite anxiety to Senior love and loyalty. We no more carried the idea that w-e entered the College of Pharmacy with the sole intention of securing a diploma, but at this stage we could not help but sense a certain grave responsibility, peculiarly ours. committee did their utmost to make this affair a success. It is hard to forget that beautifully bedecked ballroom of the Hotel Pennsylvania, with the many school and fra- ternity banners, the gay colored dresses and the occasional sombre tuxedo. The entrancing melodies of the Capitolians, the antics of Lew Breen at the piano, the enter- tainment of Buster and Hilda and others, certainly wove a spell of blissful contentment over everyone present. As the months pass- ed the versatility of talent in the class was Picture Committee T mety-threc The most coveted Senior Presidency was fought for with all the zealousness of a national election. Joseph Lo Russo, Milton Mallon, Carroll Dayharsh and Edward Guss all had their supporters. In the final outcome, Joe Lo Russo was elected, assisted by Sidney Wang as Vice-President, Max Seitzman as Secretary-Treasurer, and Edward Guss as Historian for a second time. These men have engineered the final setting for our last, most glorious days at the College of Pharmacy. Again in the spotlight our athletes proceeded to carry on as valiantly as ever. In the smooth working Columbia Pharmacy Quintet, Hand, Cherr, Soracco and Zunz proved important cogs, together with Edward Guss as Manager for a second year. For the important position of Editor of the Apothekan, Dr. Wimmer chose Martin I. Kolk who chose at his assistants Peter Glickfield, Joe Lo Russo, Edward Guss, Sidney Wang and Joseph Greenfield. The Students ' Column was ably taken care of by Martin Kolk, Edward Guss, Gorgia Schubert, and Joseph Greenfield. The Senior Hop, our last social affair while at the college, was managed by Carroll Dayharsh, Chairman of the Dance Com- mittee. A description of this gala affair is to be found under the Dances section of the Apothekan. The Key Committee, whose slogan was Keys will be in Fri- day, finally did get the graduation keys in, and thus avoided an impending trip to At- lanta. Graduation will mark the final scene of our activities as under- graduates. With the parting of the ways, the history of the Class of 1929 will be- long to the past. In the years to come, let 1 8 ' mkl % Dance Committee this history be the link in the chain of golden memories that binds us to the happy days of college life and thus draws us closer to our Alma Mater. To those who follow, we leave a heritage of deeds ac- complished, of knowl- edge gained, of friend- ships made, but above all — of love and loyal- ty for the College of Pharmacy and a pro- found reverence for the members of the faculty. Now, as the Class of 1929 approaches the eve of graduation, instinctively it is felt that we are yet living in an age which has not forgotten the ideals set by our predecessors in the science and art of Pharmacy. The learnings of our Faculty have nurtured in us for the three years past and the doors of opportunity are now opened. We have been guided by a class of men who have followed in the footsteps of their predecessors unfalteringly. They have transferred to us what was given to them, with that which they have added by diligent application to endless and painstaking study. We know not how to thank them. The paucity of our vocabulary does net permit an adequate description of our feelings. We leave the walls of our Alma Mater in body only. Our spirit will be ever with her, while foremost in our thoughts stand memories of Rusby, 7 niet_v- our Diekman, Amy, Wimmer, — names of men whose achievements have placed them on exalted thrones. Men who are typical of everyone of our faculty, only too numerous to mention in this limited space. We ask them to look upon us always as their students. May our successes be a source of pride to them. Then, and only then, will they realise that their endeavors to keep our minds immersed in the current of the world ' s best thought was not in vain. I.

IT was in the year 1954 that I started out from New York on a RACE across the globe, with two REICHMAN, SID WANG and MARTY KOLK, both of whom were famous for their production of non-inflam- mable movie REALES. I had amassed a collosal fortune through the sale of unbreakable glass chemical sundries, namely, reflux condensers, Sox- hlet extracters, flasks and beakers — and we were to take a much needed vacation. My palatial Zeppelin, the GANELESS, designated so due to its ability to pass everything but GREENFIELDS, was to take us most of the way, so we proceeded to the hangar to see if she could stand the trials and tribulations of a hardy and arduous trip. However, Chief Engineer LO RUSSO assured us that everything was ready, but nevertheless he BECKoned and sent BILL ISGAR to investigate the contact points of the Shunte motor. He also informed us that he had engaged through MICELLES Medical Morgue, Doc RUBENSTEIN and JENNIE FISHER (of Lippy dear fame) as doctor and nurse respectively. Before leaving I shook the captain ' s HAND and asked him to make room in the pilot ' s room for my comfortable DAVENPORT. During this time we made preparations for our trip. All valuables including cigars, paper, money, stamps, etc., were placed and sealed in a GLASSMAN, and was turned over to a trusted employee, ARCHIE KAPLAN, who was famed for his taking ways. On the eve of our departure we gave a farewell dinner. Our guests were served GINN, small KOLKs, and ice cream COHENs flavored with CHERRies, BERRYs, and followed by APPLEBAUM, a new dessert decorated with a BROWN SUGAR- MAN, this having been concocted by our chef, a FREEDMAN from the Amazon regions. After many WALTZes, we started home and were sandbagged by two thugs, on failing to respond to their command of Gimme YA DEAU. We awoke amid unfamiliar surroundings and were amazed to see a virtual giant approaching, but to our amazement found that it was none other than our old friend, Doc MALLON of Bellevue, who in addition to that famous mustache had now acquired a goatee. He treated our cuts, and after taking a hasty look through his Sana- torium for Bowlegged Women, we departed fcr the hangar, stopping a short time at our TAYLOR to reshape our clothes. The fateful hour approached, and at last we were in the air after a bad GATOV, and heading into the wind. As the ship was making a gradual landing at Brazil, our first stop, a very fragrant odor assailed our nostrils. On disembarking and endeavoring to find the source of this enticing odor we came across a very peculiar story. MANNY KERNER and BILL KADISH had formed a perfume corpora- tion and were doing rather well until they had unthinkingly signed a contract to Ninety-eight deliver upon a certain date 45 pounds of natural ambergris. This of course was impossible, but resourceful BILL KADISH, chief chemist, came to the rescue. Isolating a number of whales and feeding them a certain prepared food, and by running weekly differentiated blood counts, he was able to tell when the whales had come to the correct degree of constipation. At this point he killed the whales and was able to secure enough ambergris to meet the contract and save the firm ' s name. Next day we left for Montevido and leisurely proceeded from there to Cape- town, Africa, and eventually crossed the Sahara Desert. At this point a terrific hail storm overtook us and we were forced to decend. What fortune! No sooner had we landed when JULE LEVY and IRVING ROSENBERG appeared on a gallop and told us this sad story. They had given up the retail drug business and were in the crude drug business and were making a success of it. But while mak- ing a trip to a barbarous tribe in the desert they had run out of gas. So the bril- liant pair had conceived this idea. Carrying a great amount of crude oil, which they sold to the savages as a hair brilliantine, they decided to distill off the gasoline using a novelty cigarette holder as a retort. Carefully heating the end of the holder they had obtained a small amount of crude gasoline, but they were also short of oil. After supplying the shortage we proceeded on our way without any further adventures. Thus, in the month of October, ended our trip around the globe. I have tried to set down things that might be of interest to you of 1929, and if I have succeeded in arousing a bit of pleasure within you, as you read this tale, I shall feel well repaid. Our journey then, shall not have been taken in vain — for we have brought you enjoyment — my partners and I.

Therefore, propogate, circulate, promulgate, and give to the world the harrowing and importunate details attendant upon the tragic departure of the Class of 1929 from that quiet looking but important stone building known to the initiated as the Columbia College of Pharmacy. We do hereby direct that our obsequies shall be conducted and our remains cremated, interred, exsicated, dessicated, and entombed by our competent Faculty, with all due pomp, dignity, respect, ceremony, and punctilio that our position as graduates entitle us to. As to our vast material possessions, which we have accumulated in the pleasant years spent in this institution of learning, we do dispose of them as follows, to wit: Item: — The gray hairs and bald heads attendant upon the worries of meeting tuition fees and paying breakage fees we gladly and with a sense of relief bequeath to the Class of 1930. Item: — The Lecture Hall known to those hardy and sleepy Seniors, at Our Boudoir we donate to our successors. Item: — The poor, mutilated and harrassed desks we give to you, together with our permission to carve, scribble and imprint thereon the names of your best girl friend. Item: — The broad and spacious Campus, upon which, due to our gener- osity, all the Rolls Royces pass to and fro, we besto w unto you. May your hair turn grey dodging the automobiles and escaping the police as you play your daily round of golf. Item: — At this time we extend to you the option of inhaling the odori- ferous aroma of H2S gas which is always present in the vicinity of the Chemistry Laboratory. Also the empty cans of Carron Oil and Unguentine May they relieve you from the inevitable burns received in the Labora- tories. Item: — With a feeling akin to pity we leave to you printed directions as to getting down to Eimer and Amend, may the trips with broken appa- ratus be few and far between. Item: — At this time we take great pleasure in endowing you with the right of all Seniors, that of advising Dr. Amy and Professor Taub as to the method of carrying out experiments so that the result is as wanted. Also the right to sleep in Dr. Wimmer ' s lecture. This privilege you should cherish, as none but Seniors possess it. One Hundred Two Item: — Those tasty and savory elastic relics which we have hidden under- neath our former seats, and which now repose in cozy nooks and dark cor- ners, we also lavish upon our successors. May they chew upon these historic relics with all due relish, then in a dignified and pompous manner, restore them to their traditional resting place for future Seniors to discover and consume. Item:— Incidentally, we extend to you, who are about to become Seniors, the perogative to bob your hair, comb it in the center, and to clean your fingernails, for you now become Ladies and Gentlemen. Item: — To Dr. Schaefer we bequeath the right to again use the word obviously, ' a privilege we so ruthlessly deprived him of. Item: — To Dr. Carter we leave the remains of our Reflux Condensers. We are sure that with the aid of Mr. Hauck he will repair them and hand them out to future manufacturers. Item: — To Professor Hart we grant the privilege of handing our smears to the coming Seniors; may they search for the Staphylococci and the Micrococci and other micro-organisms, and if they develop various and sundry diseases let them not spend precious moments denying and alibi- making, but let them immediately see their family doctor who may affect a cure . Item: — To Professor Amy we accord the title of the most human Pro- fessor in the school. We also thank him for the pleasant moments spent in the Lecture Hall during the Chemistry Lectures, and for the interesting experiments he so successfully carried out for us. Item: — To the Faculty we confer the right to again utter their famous war cry — They shall not pass. Item: — And now we must bring these meloncholy details to a finale. To any whom we have excluded in our will we take this opportunity of thanking them. Good-bye, dear Alma Mater, the days we spent with you end here. Item: — We hereby choose Dr. Diekman, our kindest and most beloved Professor, to be the executor of this, the last Will and Testament of the Class of 1929. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto affixed our names on this, the twenty-seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty Nine. Sworn before me this fourth day of June.

One Hundred Fou UNIVERSITY CLASS, 1930 UR freshman year was a great success for our class, educationally, socially and politically. We were such a small class that we soon were like a happy family. We enjoyed a comaradarie, and an intimacy which is lacking in m ost other classes because of their size. As pioneers in the cultural courses, English and Government, now being given at this college, we felt in a class by ourselves. Our conversations and discussions on topics relating to these subjects soon roused the interest, and perhaps the envy of the upper classmen, who had not had the opportunity to study these courses. Last year we joined in a dance with the upper University classes and helped to make it the great success it turned out to be. A boat ride was also arranged at which all those who attended enjoyed themselves immensely. Last year ' s Government and English courses have been replaced by the science of Beer and Pretzels. Our German course is conducted by Mr. Ingenhuett. The annual elections for class officers were marked by skillfully manoevered political tactics, acquired last year in Government. When the battle was over and the second ballot had been counted, Sidney A. Fisher emerged as President. Clifford A. Better was elected Vice-President; Miss Ida de Dominico, Secretary; and Hyman B. Sadinsky, Historian. Historian. One Hundred Sii COLLEGE CLASS, 1930 TJHE opening of our second year at the College was hailed with enthusiasm ! by those of us who had survived the exams of May 1928, not because we were looking forward to an easy time, but because we wanted to show the upper classmen that the course would be much easier for us than it was for them. However, the course had been changed, due to the fact that ours was the first three-year course. We found that the subjects were arranged in such a manner as to make it easier for us. The hard subjects were divided between the second and the third year and other subjects were put in. At the elections, Philip Tunis was elected President: Mr. Sherr, Vice-President: Mr. Jackson, Secretary-; and Harold Meiselman, Historian. The Dance Committee was appointed, namely, Louis Weinstein, Louis Zunin, Anthony Zanca and Philip Tunis. They immediately got to work and arranged a dance for the Hotel Majestic, March 1st. 1929. It is needless to say that the dance was a great success. It seems that all the class turned up in full force and brought the best looking women in New York. What beauties! _ We are looking forward to our next and last year at the college hoping to make it a year which we will always remember as the pleasantest spent in our dear Alma Mater. Historian. One Hundred Seven College and University Classes, 1931 s UNIVERSITY CLASS, 1931 HE members of the University Class of 1931 began their career as budding pharmacists on the eventful centennial of the College of Pharmacy. The close of a century of contributions to pharmacy by predecessors of this col- lege, finds this class ready to do its share in the second century. In September of 192S, twenty-three gifted youths entered the portals of our Alma Mater to become University students. In the following months, twenty-three proverbially green students began to feel the unique distinction of being University students. In a comparatively short time, they became accustomed to their surround- ings, to their studies and to their faculty. During the class elections of November, M. Chesler was elected President; C. Cassano, Vice-President; Miss G. Cohen, Secretary; and Mr. Mar, Historian. At a later meeting of the class an Entertainment Committee was appointed with Mr. Cassano as its chairman. Upon these persons rest the social responsibilities of the class. Thus far, the class has actively participated in the limited sphere opened to it. Great things are hoped for the class of 1931. Historian. One Hundred Eight COLLEGE CLASS, 1931 HERE they go making more history for good old C. U. C. P. Wonder what they will do after they get out? Some will be real honest-to-goodness pharma- cists, some will be taking the State Boards for many years thereafter, some will be salesmen, and some successful bootleggers, not to forget the unsuccess- ful ones. What matters that since the faculty are giving their best, and it sure is the best, — to lead them to the straight, narrow and successful path. Now let ' s see what the class of ' 31 has done. Oh, yes, they ' ve elected a fine set of officers. Whitey Lipets, President; Ben Mishler, Vice-President; Sol Snyder, Secretary; and Sid Kaufman, Historian. The bitter taste of the mid-year examinations still lingers in the mouths of many even though Professor Harry Taub said that the class shows a high state of mentality, but he hasn ' t seen Dr. Amy ' s Chemistry or Professor A. Taub ' s Physics results as yet. Last but not least, that never-to-be-forgotten dance and dinner. Thanks to Sid Lubin and his assistants, the class enjoyed themselves immensely. The Rit- Carlton and Paramount Grill, the two most outstanding centers of social activities were fairly busiing with frosh on the night of March 2nd, 1929. The professors were there in full array and made a most striking appearance lending dignity to the affair. Even the class put in a good appearance, considering the fact that a majority never wore formal clothes before. If the class of ' 31 will but cooperate with the faculty and allow a small amount of their teachings to seep through their craniums, they will make for C. U. C. P. and for themselves a history not to be forgotten soon, and a foundation for them- selves that will be envied by many. Historian. y One Hundred nine fluMfl MflTEK ' 19 APDTHEKAN 2|L HISTORY OF THE BASKETBALL TEAM HE destinies of the Columbia Pharmacy Basketball Team were entrusted in 1926 to the expert direction of Coach I A. Feinstein. Besides an intense interest to serve and a delightfully attractive personality, Mr. Feinstein brought with him to the Pharmacy institution a flattering basket- ball reputation and a long coaching experience. He first wore the basket- ball regalia at East High, Rochester, N. Y., where his excellent work soon won him recognition as a brilliant prospective recruit to the collegiate basketball ranks. Rochester University saw the promise of High School develop into the canniness and endurance typical of the college type of play. The organized power of Mr. Feinstein is composed of many elements, notable among them being an almost incredible devotion to hard work, and a persistent ideal of the perfectly coordinated play. The Columbia Pharmacy 1926 basketball season was brought to a close after a rather mediocre success on the court. This lack of impressiveness in the record can be blamed on the fact that Coach Feinstein was handicapped from the very first by a dearth of veteran material. The Blue and White mentor was forced to develop a practically new team, and the success that goes with new teams was the success of the Columbia Five. Of the thirteen games played, six resulted in Phar- macy victo ries. There is some consolation even at that, inasmuch as two- of the wins were recorded over teams who were heavy favorites to defeat the home team, and were recognized leaders in the court game — Brooklyn College of Pharmacy and New Jersey College of Pharmacy. It can now be recorded in the annals of Columbia Pharmacy that in the season of 1927-28 the college was possessed of one of the greatest basketball teams ever to support the Blue and White. The team put on the court during that season was rated among the leading outfits of the East. It was deprived of an unblemished record due to injuries, but under any fair playing conditions the Pharmacy team forced all opponents to bow down, and in addition rolled up decisive scores in most instances. The team came through the season with flying colors and won the Eastern Collegiate Pharmacy Title. The winning of the Championship was the result of many hard practice sessions and many gruelling court battles. The success of the team may be laid to the previous year of 1926-27. At this time the entire squad was practically new mate- rial, with the exception of one or two veterans as a nucleus. It was quite a task for Coach Feinstein to whip the new material into a team of championship calibre, and although the season of 1926-27 was not as successful as had been desired, the next year saw the fruits of his work. The season of 1926-27 was by no means an uneventful one, nevertheless, and was not void of thrilling games and many im- portant victories. It is now history that this team beat New Jersey College of Pharmacy, now Rutgers, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, champions that year of the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League, and snatched the crown from Brooklyn College of Pharmacy by a decisive victory on the Columbia court. It was this same team that was fated to win the title next year.

Hand Shorty Morich Eddie Zunz N. Rosenthal M. Ochetal Coach Graduate Manager Mr. Feinstein Student Manager Edward Guss Mr. J. P. Maile One Hundred Fifteen The season of 1927-28 was entirely a different story. Coach Feinstein had a team around which to work. The team included seven veterans, namely, Frank Soracco, George Cherr, Murray Finkelstein, Sid Sahr, Sam Cohen, Quentin R. Hand and Dave Drucker. This was a team that was hardened by battle, knew how to give and take, and was acquainted with the hardships that a basketball team must expect. In addition to these veterans there was no lack of worthy sub- stitutes, some of whom were destined to make history for the Blue and White. With such a representation Coach Feinstein soon realised that the championship was almost a certainty, and the team through its sincerity and fighting spirit removed any doubt that was in his mind. Team after team went down in defeat before this aggressive team. Some of these victims were Penn State College of Optometry, Philadelphia College of Phar- macy, Wagner College, New York Aggies, Cooper Union, and C. C. N. Y. Queens. The only team that now stood in the path of the championship was the strong and highly touted team of the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, traditional rivals of the Blue and White. Each team had beaten all other rivals in the league, and had beaten each other once, thus resulting in a tie for first place. The deciding and ever-memorable playoff game took place at the C. C. N. Y. Gym on Friday, March 2?rd, 192S, and the overwhelming defeat of the Brooklyn team is now history. The Brooklyn team was a strong favorite to win and its over- confidence has been attributed as one of the main causes of its sad performance. The Columbia team was a determined bunch that night and they played their game just as if it had been mapped out for them. Brooklyn, however, must be commended for their fighting spirit. This game gave the Championship to Columbia. The season of 1928-29 was looked upon to be another repitition of the previous season, and although many a valuable player has been lost through graduation, the call for candidates was an encouraging one. From the championship team still remained Captain Cherr, Soracco, Cohen, Rosenberg, and Q. R. Hand. Among the candidates Mishler, Lipet;, Marra, and Zun; appeared to have the stuff of which good teams are composed. The results of the season follow in order. Quentin R. Hand. One Hundred Sixteen fT REVIEW OF THE SEASON C. U. C. P. Downs Alumni in Opening Game HE C. U. C. P. quintet inaugurated its court season with a victory at the expense of the Alumni team, winners of last year ' s Eastern Intercollegiate ji£ Pharmacy Title. The contest was replete with thrills from start to finish. = =- First one team and then the other would forge ahead, only to find its lead overcome a minute later by a spectacular shot by an opponent. The half-time whistle sounded with the score tied 12 to 12. Mishler and Q. R. Hand were easily the outstanding figures on the court. They were all over the floor, breaking up enemy plays and playing a wonderful offensive game. Sahr and Sam Cohen played best for the Alumni. The final whistle sounded with the Alumni team trailing by the score of 27 to 21. C. U. C. P. Repeats The Columbia Pharmacy quintet played host to the Cooper Union five, and defeated the visitors by the score of 29 to 18. The Pharmacy five exhibited a brilliant passing game which the Cooper Union basketeers could not overcome throughout the game. Marra scored first for Columbia by cageing a basket from the 15-foot penalty line. Weintraub, Cooper ' s guard, tallied a two-pointer from a difficult angle. The half ended with Cooper Union trailing by the score of 11 to 8. H. Cohen and Eddie Zuns played extremely well for Columbia Pharmacy. Wein- traub was the high scorer for Cooper Union. The features of the game were the well-timed shooting and fast passing of the winners, plus H. Cohen ' s excellent floor work and shooting. C. U. C. P. Defeated by Rutgers Pharmacy in First Eastern Intercollegiate League Game Using a five-man defense that held the New York team completely at bay, and displaying an uncanny eye for the basket, the quintet from the Rutgers College of Pharmacy turned back the Columbia Pharmacy passers by the score of 36 to 30. Hand, right forward, of the Columbia Pharmacy team, was the star of the evening with four shots from the floor and four more from the fifteen-foot line. Fifty- seven personal fouls were committed in the game, and as a result three Columbia Pharmacy players were put out of the game because of personal fouls. One Hundred Seventeen C. U. C. P. Loses to Philadelphia College of Pharmacy The Columbia Pharmacy basketball team met its second defeat in the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League race by losing to the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy five by the score of 36 to 32. Columbia Pharmacy used two teams and this caused its defeat. The Philadelphians led by the score of 16 to 7 after ten minutes of play before the second team were replaced by the Varsity. The first half ended with the score 20 to 13 in favor of the Philadelphians. The New York team then displayed a flashy attack which cut down the Phila- delphians ' lead considerably. Newark Engineers Bows to Columbia Pharmacy by the Score of 29 to 17 Columbia Pharmacy defeated the Newark Engineers for the first time in the history of their annual basketball series The score was 29 to 17. Cherr, Soracco and Zunz shared scoring honors for Columbia Pharmacy. For Newark, Townsend led in the point production with three baskets and three fouls. Newark Engineers made a slight rally during the closing moments of play, but did not threaten Columbia ' s comfortable lead. C. C. N. Y. Queens Defeats Columbia Pharmacy 32 to 29 C. C. N. Y. Queens won from Columbia Pharmacy on the basketball court by a score of 32 to 29. It was an exciting game throughout, both teams setting a fast pace at the outset which never slackened. Zunz, a Columbia forward, led the losers with five goals from the floor and one from the foul line for a total of eleven points. Columbia Pharmacy got away first, Zunz cageing the ball after the tap-off for the first field goal of the game. The half-time whistle sounded with Columbia Pharmacy leading by a single point, the score being 15 to 14. Temple Pharmacy Defeats Columbia Pharmacy in Eastern Intercollegiate ' ' Game The Temple Pharmacy basketball team defeated Columbia Pharmacy in the third game of the year for the Blue and White aggregation in the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League on the Philadelphia court by the score of 29 to 25. Temple was unable to break through the Columbia first string defense con- sistently and failed to score for the first six minutes of the first half while the Columbia team scored four baskets. A pretty field goal put Temple in the lead, and though the New York team rallied and threatened throughout the game and were dangerous at all times, they were never able to equalize or overcome the Temple lead. ■ Zunz, Columbia forward, played a strong defensive game and in addition was the offensive ace of the Blue and White, scoring eleven of his team ' s twenty-five points. One Hundred Eighteen Albany Pharmacy Defeat s C. U. C. P. Five The Albany College of Pharmacy defeated C. U. C. P. quintet by the score of 31 to 26 on the Albany court. The New York team, who beat Albany a year ago, played a hard game throughout, the score at half-time being 19 to 9 in Albany ' s favor. In the first half, after Capello leading the offensive, had piled up a lead of 10 to 5, the New York team staged the first of its spurts. Albany, however, con- tinued to crash away at the Columbia defensive and at the end of the first half led by the score of 19 to 9. Columbia Pharmacy started off with a rush in the second half. The powerful New York defensive got started and before Albany could gather its shattered defense together the New York players had made ten points. Capello Albany forward, took the lead for his team which the Columbia players could not cut down materially. Philadelphia Pharmacy Defeats Columbia Pharmacy The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy scored its second victory over the Columbia Pharmacy quintet in an Eastern Intercollegiate game by the score of 22 to 20. At the end of the first half both teams were deadlocked by the score of 13 to 13, but the Philadelphia team returned to hold the Columbia players to two field goals and three fouls. The action was largely defensive, which resulted in long distance shooting The close guarding of Hand and Zun; kept the Philadelphia forwards away from the basket during the entire game. Hand and Mishler were high scorers for Columbia Pharmacy, each scoring six points. Oakley, Philadelphia forward, Philadelphia ' s best shot from the floor, was held scoreless by the alert Q. R. Hand. Philadelphia started off with a rush in the second half of the game and quickly assumed the lead. For a time, the two teams fought on an even basis with little scoring and the defense working in excellent style. The game ended in an unusual manner, for just as the final whistle sounded, Adams, Philadelphia forward, tossed the ball toward the basket and it dropped in, making the final score 22 to 20 in the Philadelphians favor. Columbia Pharmacy Trounces Temple Pharmacy, 59 to 36. The Columbia Pharmacy quintet broke its four-game losing streak by decisively trouncing the Temple College of Pharmacy by the overwhelming score of 59 to 36, in an ' Eastern Intercollegiate ' game. The Columbia five swept ahead early in the game. The only time that Temple Pharmacy held them was during the first few minutes of play. At the end of the first half, Columbia Pharmacy was leading by the score of 21 to 17. The Blue and White aggregation exhibited a brilliant passing game, which the Temple Phar- macy quintet could not overcome throughout the game. The Columbians played a whirlwind defense from start to finish. Lead by Marra, and ably abbeUed by Hand and Mishler, the New York team had no difficulty One Hundred Nineteen in breaking through the Temple five-man defense and scoring from all angles. The high scorers for Columbia were Marra, Hand and Mishler, who scored 12, 11 and 11 respectively. The New York quintet gained such a commanding lead that the Philadelphia ' cause soon became hopeless. The contest ended with the second team playing for Columbia. Brooklyn Five Victor over Columbia Pharmacy 31 to 26. The Brooklyn Pharmacy quintet won a hard-fought basketball game from Colum- bia Pharmacy in an Eastern Collegiate game by the score of 31 to 26. At half-time the Brooklyn team was in front 21 to 16. Columbia Pharmacy spurted just after the second period opened and at once tied the score. The Brook- lyn team then braced and regained the lead which it never relinquished. Rutgers Pharmacy Defeats C. U. C. P. In a game replete with thrills the Rutgers College of Pharmacy, present leaders in the Eastern Intercollegiate League, defeated the basketball tossers from the New York institution, for the second time this season, by the score of 19 to 13. Although the Columbia team was leading at the end of the first half, the Rutgers team regained its eye in the second period and immediately tied the score. From then on, although nip and take, the Jersey team kept the lead until the close of what was probably the most thrilling game of the season. Hand and Zun.z were the high scorers for the New York team. C. U. C. P. Defeats Brooklyn Pharmacy A last minute substitution by Columbia Pharmacy resulted in a victory for the New York team in a thrilling contest at the Columbia gym. The Annual Classic started off with a rash on the part of both teams indicating that the rivalry was rather keen. Hand, our star player, was as usual on the aggressive and began to cage baskets from all angles of the court. Brooklyn, however, not to be out- done, also displayed a brand of basketball which kept our boys stepping and guard- ing closely. Play was fast and furious for a few minutes, neither team scoring. Marra, Columbia forward, came through by cageing a pretty basket. Hand followed with another pretty basket from the side of the court, putting C. U. C. P. in the lead. The passing combination, Cherr to Hand, was working perfectly. Many fouls were committed on both sides. The half whistle sounded with Columbia trailing to the tune of 15-11 The second half started slowly, neither team scoring for the first few minutes. Brooklyn finally came through with a basket. Brooklyn displayed a marvelous defensive game which Columbia could not penetrate. Marra again tallied a two- pointer. Hand followed with a spectacular shot from the side of the court. Cherr, taken out because of personal fouls, was replaced by Cohen. Cohen immediately followed with a basket from a difficult angle of the court. Both teams were dead- locked when Cohen again tallied, forging Columbia ahead. Lipetz, seized the spheroid, shot toward the basket, the whistle sounded and the game ended with Columbia Pharmacv the victors. One Hundred Turntv Individual Scorers Goals Edward Zun; 34 Quentin R.

The coolness of winter mingled with the warmth of spring to make a com- bination, ideal for an evening of pleasure. It seemed as though the Gods were with us to make our last dance the great success it was. As we entered the lobby of the Waldorf, a guard (he might have been an admiral in the Navy by the uniform and bearing!) announced Colum- bia Pharmacy, one flight up. As we stepped out of the elevator we were greeted with sweet strains of music, and as we peeked into the hall we saw a host of happy youngsters lost in the spell of Terpsichore. We entered the hall and were dazzled by the gorgeous scene before us. A beautiful room, the walls painted with lovely murals, between which were mirrors in which could be seen many dreamy pharmacists dancing with their girl friends. On inquiry we found that we were in the Astor Galleries, the prettiest room in the city, and that the music was supplied by Fred Gerken, one of our own boys, and his Broadway Serenaders. A better combination could not have been found. While dancing we met Professors Harry and Abe Taub, who always lend color to our affairs. Then there were Miss Birnbaum, Mr. Pokorny, Mr. Lieberman, Mr. Amsterdam and others of our faculty. There is no prettier sight than a hall, full of dancing couples, with the low hub- bub of voices and whispers melding in with the strains of the orchestra; to see the girls resplendent in colorful gowns, some blushing as their partners compliment, some smiling happily, some laughing joyously, and others silent — dreamily. What price youth! During the intermissions between dances, there was a general exodus toward one part of the hall. Refreshments. You could never tell by their happy looks that they were drinking aqua fontana — or perhaps they weren ' t. Then they all drifted into nooks and corners. Yea, in one corner we saw Ray Freedman and Laura Amatucci, oblivious of all but themselves. Georgia Schubert could be seen strolling through the corridors on the arm of Frank Bulda. Joe Lo Russo was seen dashing around in search of the elusive Minnie Rossi. Martin Kolk was paying his court to the usual blonde and Jenny Fisher was seen blissfully gliding on the floor in the arms of her boy friend. One Hundred Twenty-Four Entertainment was supplied by our very estimable classmate, Irving M. Lipkowitz. He gave a remarkable solo on the piano which was more than well received. Harry Fries gave a rendition on a musical saw, upholding the versatility of the modern pharmacist. This was followed by a dance exhibition by Buster Bradley. And so the evening drifted on — pleasantly. How wonderful was this dance in comparison to the many others we have attended. Whether we danced to the sweet sadness of a waltz or to the maddening rythm of a fox-trot, whether being entertained or just sitting out, — all blended to make this evening a splendid page in our book of golden memories.

This organization began and has developed with the purpose of bringing the women students of the College closer to each other and to their chosen profession. Thus far, it has proven a great success, both at Columbia and Rutgers, where the Beta Chapter is located. The first rush party was held in the girls ' room of the College on November 13, 192S. Professors Harry and Abraham Taub represented the faculty. This was followed by a card party in honor of the rushees, at the home of Soror Ruth Prop- per, of the class of 1925. A tea, bridge, and dance was given at the Hotel Majestic on December 9th, 1928. This proved a huge success, as did the card party and dance of last year, at the Hotel Alamac. Pn;es were awarded the successful player of each table. Members of the faculty present were Professors Harry and Abraham Taub, and Instructors Lewitus, Pokorny, Miale, Hauck and Anzelmi and Dr. Herman Goodman. The sorority is the first group to enact the idea of interesting and instructive visits to various hospitals and drug manufacturers. The first of these was a visit to the Medical Center at 168th Street. The girls were led by a pleasant guide through the departments of pathology, pharmacology and pharmacy. They were also shown the Machine Shop, where all machinery needed in the Center is made. They visited some of the wards and reception rooms. Experimental animals, some of which were under observation at the time, were shown to the sorors. They also visited some of the autopsy rooms and made an extensive tour of the pharmacy department, which is connected with the clinic. The girls were very much im- pressed with the beautiful wards, the fine new buildings and the fully equipped research laboratories. Many other places of interest will be visited by the sorors. They have received an invitation from the wholesale drug firm of Schiefflin and Company to visit their laboratory and wholesale departments. Many other activities for the season are being planned by the Alpha Zeta girls.

Prepara- tions have already been started to make this gathering the greatest, liveliest, 5?J§ ! and most interesting convention in the history of the fraternity. At present there are five active members in attendance at the college: Michael Abrams, Meyer Tobias and Morris Schector of the second year college class, Gustave H. Brown of the third year University class, and Alfred Lippe of the fourth year. This small number is due chiefly to the chapter ' s adherance to the quality not quantity rule. Also, the close of last year found the initiation of two popular members of faculty as honorary fraters, namely, William L. Keenan and Joseph E. Adams. The first important social gathering of the current year was a smoker, held at the Hotel Brierfeld, November 14, 1928. The principal speakers of the evening were Dr. Rosenbloom, at present a managing director at the Lederle Laboratories, Mr. Hutchins, the well-known fraternity columnist of the Druggists Circular and Frater Si Sless, former Supreme Directorum and one of the originators of the frater- nity. A large attendance of faculty members, as in previous years, showed what interest an A. Z. O. smoker has to the faculty. The gala social event of the year for Zeta was the brilliant formal dance, held in the Louis XVI Room of the Hotel Manger on December 2nd, 192S. Amongst those present were Professors Harry and Abe Taub, Instructors Hauck, Pokorny and Lieberman, Miss Estelle Weintraub, School Librarian, good will guests from the other school fraternities, and many others of note. The last freshman rush netted us six pledges, who represent some of the finest material at the college, and of whom can be expected the same lofty ideals that have made Alpha Zeta Omega, one of the leading international fraternities in the world.

The purpose of the organization being, to draw together all those students who were interested in Italian Art, literature and culture. It was not very long before C. D. C. began to increase in size and scope. In 1925, with the entrance into the ' circle of Mr. Fanelli, the organiza- tion was firmly established on its feet. The Dante annual dance is one to which we all look forward to, because of its continued success and because we never fail to have a wonderful time. In 1926 the circle decided to raise funds for a medal (Diekman Medal), to be awarded to the student having obtained the highest rating in Theoretical Phar- macy, during three years. Initiation, which took place at the Madison Square Hotel, included the hauling, mauling, and spoiling the general demeanor, equanimity and stability of about twenty frosh, two being girls. There ' s where the hitch comes in. Our initiations are rough, can you imagine if the girls weren ' t there! After the orgy the new members were treated to a light lunch, to build them up again, and then, music and dancing. Professor Dorfman, Mr. Kaye and Mr. Fanelli of our faculty were there. The Annual Dance was held at the McAlpin on April 10th, 1929, and due to the efforts of our reception committee, the affair turned out all that we expected it to be. Here is where our lady members are invaluable. Man, at his best, is a very poor host compared to the girls. Also during the year several Tea Dances were arranged, where the members of the Circle got together for a pleasant afternoon of dancing and chatting followed by tea and crackers served by our girls. Under the capable guidance of our Honorary and Faculty members there is no doubt that the Circle will continue to function in the future as well as it has in the past.

Increasing in size and strength, the climax was reached when the organisation was recognised by the college as the Alpha Chapter of a new fraternity, namely, Delta Sigma Theta. This now nationally recognized institution with its basic ideal of non-sectarianism, soon formed chapters in various colleges. The first of these, Beta, in the Columbia College of Dentistry, inaugurated another unique fraternal policy, that of combining the three branches of the healing science, Pharmacy, Dentistry and Medicine under one banner. In the same year, 1922, Gamma Chapter of New York University College of Dentistry entered, as did Delta in Columbia College of Pharmacy, and Epsilon in Rutgers Pharmacy. Then in succession there came Eta in Flower Hospital, Zeta in U. of P. Dentistry, Theta in Tufts Medical College, Iota in Temple University and Kappa in Long Island College Hospital. At the present time plans are being made for the establishment of a chapter in Fordham University. The Delta Chapter, since its formation, has played an active part in the affairs of our school. It has been well represented year after year, in such activities as Basketball, Messenger Staff, Year Book and Committee work. Its members have been officials in their various classes each semester, and have always tried to main- tain a high scholastic standard By glancing over its record, it can be said without hesitation, that the Delta Chapter embodies, and will always promote to the best of its ability, the high ideals of Columbia University, and true fraternalism.

The boys immediately collected fraternity possessions under the roof, and prepared to receive visitors. The response to our invitation, issued to our Alumni brothers, was gratifying. Many of the old timers visited us. During the year we were honored by an official visit from the Grand Secretary ' - He reported the chapter in excellent condition. One of the biggest affairs of the year 1928, was the Diekman Testimonial Dinner at the Hotel Ansonia, which was attended by over one hundred and fifty alumni. Early in October the chapter held a well attended and much enjoyed smoker. In January we imposed the ordeal of initiation upon a goodly number of neophytes. In February came Grand Council, to which we sent two delegates. On December fourteenth we held our Thirty-Second Annual Dance at the Hotel Astor. Also another with Kappa Psi in April. April again brought several shivering neophytes before the altar. Their survival of the ordeal brings the total initiated members of Gamma Chapter to 440, since its inception in 1893.

Thus it was that a group of students at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in 1916, decided to establish the Rho Pi Phi Fraternity, in order to maintain a more sincere friendship and brotherly love for each other. After four years of excellent work, and upon the recommendation of men prominent in the profession, they extended charters to Columbia College of Phar- macy and to the Albany College of Pharmacy. From this nucleus has grown a fraternity with thirteen chapters, located in the most prominent schools in the country. Its influence extends as far west as California, and as far north as Canada. The roster of Rho Pi Phi numbers over 1000 men including the alumni. The Gamma chapter of the Rho Pi Phi Fraternity was organized in 1921 at the College of Pharmacy with marked success. It has been active in all college func- tions, and the members have always maintained a high scholarship, which is one of the many requisites for becoming a member. To stimulate a greater interest in scholarship the Supreme Council has awarded six honorary plaques to men whose scholastic ratings are the outstanding of the year. In addition the chapter with the highest scholarship average is awarded a trophy. This innovation has brought exceptional results. The Rho Pi Phi Fraternity is not only a social organization, but a practical one as well. With many of its alumni in influential positions, both in the business and educational world, it is in a position to better conditions in the field of Pharmacy.

The smoker held at John Jay Hall was the first affair Gamma held, and as usual, it was a great success. It was at this smoker that Dr. Dorfman made his now famous plea for more dignified smokers. During the Christmas vacation, Gamma Chapter was host to the other chapters at the Annual Convention, which started with a formal affair at the Hotel Bossert, Saturday Eve, and ending with a theatre party. All helped to make this y ear ' s Convention the best ever. The most important event of the year was the installation of Prof. A. Taub as an honorary member.

The members of the chapter are closely related to each of the extra-curricular activities. The Delta Chapter was organized in 1926 with Martin I. Kolk, who had previously been a member of the Alpha Chapter at City College, in the Chan- cellor ' s chair. The following year, Henry Metlitz ' 28, was chosen as chancellor. It was during his term of office that the chapter was officially recognized by the faculty of the college. This year finds Abraham Steinberg, who was the recipient of the Seabury Scholarship last May, leading the destinies of Tau Delta Mu. It is the policy of Tau Delta Mu to imbue within its fraters a spirit of activity, besides that of brotherly love and fraternalism.

The response from many students was really remarkable. Mem- bers and non-members, of various faiths, attended the numerous meetings. . At these gatherings most interesting lectures were delivered by members (S g)ll of our faculty, and other men of prominence in the world of science and sociology. The organization also succeeded in encouraging several of its members to deliver some talks on problems of interest to the other fellow members. We are very glad to attribute this unprecedented success of the Menorah Society at Columbia College of Pharmacy to the devotedly skillful guidance of Professor Dorfman. It is due to his untiring efforts that the regular membership of this organization was so numerous during the past year. It is also due to his invaluable advice that the Program Committee was successful in arranging programs which were both instructive and entertaining. The organization extends its heartiest thanks to Professor Dorfman. Due gratitude is also extended to all those members of the faculty who have helped to make the work of the Menorah Society a success. The now retiring administration is greatly satisfied with the cooperation accorded them by the members of this organization. We are sure that the interest in the aim and work of the Menorah Society will not wane during the coming vacational interruption of our activities, and look forward to the equally devotional resump- tion of our work for the coming school year.

And have you, on certain evenings seen the walls of our sedate institution quivering? Why? The Orchestra, of course! Under the able guidance of Professor Dorfman, Paul Ashe ' s only rival, a group of students have assembled a jazz orchestra which promises to be the talk of collegiate circles. All of them being first-class pharmacists, their musical performances are nothing to blush at. And who are these virtuosos? Gentlemen, be seated while we take the roll of honor. First, Bert Fialkow, the piano-pounder who can make the piano sit up and bark for him. Listen to him sometime while he ' s broadcasting, and then argue with us if you can. Next, Ham Wallenberg, the mean cornetist, he blows them in bad but they come out sweet and sizzling. And then, Benny Rubin, the banjoker. Eddie Peabody pays him to stay off B ' way. Ben admits Eddie is good, too, but if pressed, modestly confesses his own superiority. Then, Julius Eisenberg, the violinist, the only tamer of the crying fiddle. Hy Sadinsky, the sax blower, admits he ' s the only fellow in the Bronx whose neighbors don ' t mind his practicing. Listen to his deep Dantone Sax and you ' ll know where they got that expression making boom-boom. The virtues of the Orchestra are only too numerous to mention here, but let it be said that its efforts at the basketball games were well appreciated.

Dr. Wimmer allotted four pages of the Messenger for this purpose. Further plans were made and a staff, consisting for the most part of freshmen, was chosen. Sidney A. Fisher and Martin Kolk were appointed Editor-in-Chief and Art Editor respectively. With the January, 1927, issue of the Messenger appeared the first Students ' Column, which was heartily welcomed hy both faculty and student body. The Students ' Column soon became an institution of the Columbia College of Pharmacy. Martin I. Kolk was appointed editor for the year 1927-28. He and his able staff continued the initial success of the column. The year 1928-29 witnessed two innovations in the conduction of the Students ' Column. A joint editorship, which proved very successful, was established. Sidney A. Fisher and Julius Jacobs were the co-editors. The other novelty was the appoint- ment of two of the young ladies to the staff. Misses Schubert and Marshall ably contributed news of the girls and the girls ' room. Due to the fact that a number of the staff writers will attend the college next year, the future high standard of the column is assured.

In this position he attempted to propound the graphic formulae of various and devious organic compounds found in the N. N. R., whilst his sub- conscious mind was diligently working out the solution to the Sunday World ' s cross word puzzle. A very remarkable fellow! And so, it is no great wonder that while engrossed in such very pleasant and interesting recreation, Morpheus, the God of Slumber, overtook him and covered him with a blanket of atoms. Now it so happened that in this very same garden, there existed an apple tree well nigh unto the spot where Sir Isaac was engaged in sawing wood. In fact this same apple tree bore fruit, even an apple. Just as all things except perpetual motion must come to an end, the surface tension of the molar volume suddenly overcame the surface pressure and without due warning, the pome bore down with full force toward Mother Earth and struck Sir Isaac upon his proboscis. It then rebounded gracefully and headed for the eighteenth hole. Sir Isaac had been on the verge of closing a deal with Diogenes for the purchase of Muscle Shoales which he intended to fill in with whoopee. However, he now assumed a most dignified and classical pose with great ease, and exclaimed vehemently in a low tone of unusual quality and pitch, I now realize the gravity of the situation. And they, Sir Isaac and the apple, lived happily ever after. But oh! fellow sufferers, what that specific instance started. Moral: An apple a day keeps the doctor away, providing you ' re not sick anyway. Ben Harrison. One Hundred Fifty-si RETROSPECT ETROSPECT, — an odd topic for a fellow just graduating from col- lege. Retrospection is supposedly a monopoly of older people, of those who have the major part of their life behind them. Youth, so adage tells us, lives solely in the future. However, I have just passed through a most enjoyable bit of living, and like a small boy lips over ice cream, I can not help cherishing and retasting in the recollection of its delectable flavor. First of all, I wish to thank my mother for making my experience possible. It is she whom I must thank for the freedom of these three years just past. It is she who wisely permitted me to shoulder the responsibility of my own life, to live away from home, to control my own finances, to choose my own friends, and to a great extent, to make my own decisions without hindrance. Oh, but I have had a glorious time, these last three years. It hasn ' t been all laughter. There ' s been a lot of tears. But it ' s all been living! I have not always stopped to consider what I did. I ' ve let myself in for a lot of grief and unnecessary pain. But I would not part with a bit of it! Without the depths, I should never have touched the heights. He who falls must first have climbed, and the bruises acquired in climbing make the ultimate view surveyed more beautiful. Among other things, I shall never forget my associations with the many boys whose friendships I have enjoyed during my three years of college. The kindly solicitude and understanding that boys are so very capable of. The discussions we have had — on every conceivable topic — sex, of course, but also religion, philo- sophy, science, pharmacy. If I am at all broadminded, I owe it largely to the many points of view and the keen minds I have met among my school friends. And somehow I have been free to think and to know myself as never before. As a writer I ' d make a good ditch-digger, but nevertheless, I ' ve got an accumula- tion of little writings that I ' ll always want to keep as evidences of self- analysis at this time, as well as such merchandising plans and compositions that I have had the freedom and necessary solitude to evolve. Nobody likes egotism, but in order to achieve real success and self-realization, a person must learn to trust in his ability to think, and must dare to think for himself. College life with its freedom, and also — its responsibilities, fosters individuality to a tremendous extent I shall always think of my college life and my college friends with affection and gratitude. They have meant much to me. Ray M. Freedman. One Hundred Fifty-seven A STORY IN DIALECT (Apologies to Milt Gross.) INE fren fun de greduating cless hesked me to write a leetel hot- ticle.

One Hundred Fi tv-eight REQUIEM To My Successor in Room 425: ONIGHT I dismantled my room and with reluctant hands stripped from the walls pennants, pictures, and all the familiar things that were acquired during the year to make my room my home. Engaged in this melancholy task, I could not help but recall many delightful memories of my two years in the dorms. It is with the hope of imparting to you something of them that I write my letter. For I bequeath to you, not merely an empty room, to serve as a temporary shelter, but instead, a place that has been a comfort and a joy to me and to those before me. A place that has harboured good fellowship, growing friendships, the mid- night bull session. Now bare and empty, this room was once a cozy refuge for a tinkling banjo, and the harmony of our voices as we sang the songs we liked. Here it was that the boys often gathered and visited happily, with the smoke of pipes curling lazily into the air, finally to swirl outward thru the open window. And here, surrounded by my belongings, I have quietly studied, and thought things out, and written my letters. Here at last I found a haven, free from sisters and brothers, etc., who, tho loved, often used to break my trend of thought at home. Personally, I know I shall never regret the days spent here at the dorms. Every rough and tumble wrestling match we had holds its place in my pleasurable memo- ries. I sincerely hope that you who are going to occupy this room for the next year will enjoy it and thrive in it even as I have. Sincerely, Ray M. Freedman, ' 29.
