Berlin as YOUTHS and ending as PHARMACISTS. Conceived in ambition, and dedicated to the preparation of honest and scientific REMEDIES to relieve the ills that flesh is heir to. Years crowded with hopes, fears, efforts, treasured friend- ships, college pranks and pleasures, and final success. In the gloaming, when the sun is slowly sinking in the west, we affectionately commend to your reminiscent mood these pages of the APOTHEKAN, in which we hope you will again relive those happy days at C.

Handsjy.an, Esquire 564 Linden Boulevard Brooklyn, N. Y. My dear Mr. Handsrcan I am glad indeed to respond to your invita- tion of December 2o and to send a word of greeting to the stu- dents of the College of Pharmacy. We are happy indeed to have them enrolled as members of Columbia University and to feel that the sphere of University influence and activity embraces the very useful and honorable profession which they are prepar- ing to serve. We have learned much during the past gene- ration of public health and its practical problems, of the pre- vention of illness and of the relation of organized society to all these. The pharmacist plays his trained and serviceable part in carrying forward these endeavors, both those which are primarily scientific and those which are primarily of social service . The whole University joins in v ishing for the College of Pharmacy prosperity, steady advance and constant- ly widening service to the people. Faithfully . ya Ji u, i Jim o, kz m President Nicholas Murray ButlEk LL.D. (Contab), D.Litt.

V. ARNY, Ph.M., Ph.D., F.C.S. TO THE CLASS OF 1932 i m C ach year it is the pleasant duty of the Dean to extend greetings to the fj graduating classes : university and college. The fact that you have reached the year of graduation indicates that you have profited by the instruction given you by our Faculty and in return I can say that the Faculty is the richer in mind and in spirit because we have had the oppportunity of teaching you. Nothing is better to sharpen the wits of us professors and instructors than contact with the keen minds of the young men and women who call our College their alma mater. I know that you have learned to love this College of ours even as thousands have loved it in the century that has passed since its organization. I know you will be a credit to your alma mater. I am certain that your future career of industry and service will bring the success that inevitably comes to the faithful worker. H. V. Arxy, Dean. y v A 30 Sixteen =o= . yyt- = — ' 0,: (M DR. CURT P. YVIMMER A TRIBUTE ( Dr. Cvirt P. Wimmer, who has just rounded out his twenty-fifth year of I uninterrupted service as instructor, assistant professor, professor, head of Department of Pharmacy, and associate Dean of the College, who has so well guided the destinies of this Class. His achievement in his chosen line of endeavor has been manifold, and as a teacher and colleague, lie possesses the rare gift of making himself beloved and respected by all. For his unflagging care and attention, his untiring efforts for the benefit of the students, Pharmacists and Pharmacy as a whole we thank him heartily. Last but not least — He worked with might and main on all parts of this book. Long may his banner wave and great may be the number of his scores in this eternal Game ! H. L. H„ Editor.

RUSBY IN APPRECIATION A r was with genuine surprise that I received information from Editor Hands- C I man that this number of Apothekan was to be dedicated to me. While deeply appreciative of the compliment conveyed in this dedication. I am impressed by the thought that the recognition of the Class is of something far greater than the services of any one individual. It takes note of the character that has been developed and the status that has been attained by our College, as the result of a long period of untiring effort and unflagging devotion by a host of faithful workers, many of them passed away. No greater example of harmonious co- operation has ever presented itself to me than that of our. Faculty, Trustees and Membership during the half-century that I have been connected with the College. On the part of Trustees, this has been purely a labor of love, but the devotion of the Faculty has been no less genuine because of the fact that they are id receipt of the means of livelihood without which their service could not have been rendered. H. H. Rusbv. ' - kj Eighteen OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND s ! large part, perhaps the major part of human ills resulting from human ac ts, would {7T never occur if the actors realized, at the time, the results that were to ensue from those I acts. There are relatively few men or womn, even among those criminally inclined, who would not go to the one in suffering or danger, or who would not incur considerable sacri- fice to relieve suffering, yet the great majority of people are more or less careless in doing things that are likely to place one or more, perhaps very many people, in jeopardy. This principle is of such wide application and in so many ways, that it almost dominates the condition of human society. What man, suffering from typhoid fever or tuberculosis, would thoughtfully and intentionally impart that disease to another? What woman, anxiously watching over her own child through an attack of scarlet fever or diphtheria, would knowingly implant that disease in the family of her friends? Yet the distribution of these afflictions throughout an entire neighborhood may result from the thoughtless or careless performance of a single act. although unnecessary and uncalled for. In fact, this is the very way in which such diseases are kept in existence and disseminated. Were every individual to realize the possible and probable effects of his or her failure in this regard, and did they always act with a conscientious regard for their individual responsi- bility, most contagious and infectious diseases would practically and, perhaps completely, disap- pear. Could the distributor of foods look upon some scores or hundreds of men, women and children writhing in the throes of intestinal poisoning from the eating of decomposed materials, it is hardly likely that one of them could be heartless enough to distribute articles that were calculated to cause such a disaster, yet such acts are being continually committed because these results, w-hich are out of sight, are not kept in mind. Perhaps the most widely prevalent offense of this kind is that of careless voting. The bestowal of official powers on the unworthy or unfit is probably the greatest of all the evils affecting society, and it can occur only through the abuse of the ballot. Most persons would refuse to cast a vote that they knew was to cause losses and injuries to their fellow-men, cer- tainly when they realize that they must share in the injury, yet they repudiate this obligation when they vote ignorantly or carelessly. They are shirking their individual responsibility ! It is an accepted law of civic ethics that each voter should cast his ballot as though the result was to be determined wholly by that vote, but how great is the percentage of those who vote with the feeling, if not the thought, that his vote is of little consequence among so many ! If we deprecate these acts of thoughtlessness or negligence, what shall be said of those who sneer at the honest and earnest members of society who live in an endeavor to determine and perform their duty, on the ground that they take themselves seriously ' , as though a regard for the interests and rights of others were reprehensible or shameful ? While every walk of life offers continuous pressure to respond to this sense of personal duty, this is especially true of the vocation of the pharmacist, with its serious relation to the social welfare and its peculiar intermediate position between physician and patient. No student at the Xew York College of Pharmacy can complete the first year of his course without under- standing that his instructors regard the development of this professional conscience as the most important of all their duties.

The earl) ' explorers in their search for this metal discovered a New World. There was another group who, secluded in Hygian caves, free from pry- ing eyes, their methods and results a deep secret, sought this precious metal by transmutation from baser metals. Without knowing the whys and wherefores of their labors, valuable contributions to civilization were discovered purely as nega- tive results of their search for rold. This latter group founded the science of Chemistry. Today we labor in well- lit, ventilated laboratories as pictured above with a definite purpose and method, knowing to a nicety and finesse ihe results to be obtained. We, the proud inheri- tors of this accumulated knowledge also seek ; but not gold — something more valu- able that gold cannot purchase — the health and life of mankind. We test for the purity of the chemical food and other useful products lhat are so indispen- sable to the well being of humanity. Under the guidance of that able teacher. Dr. Schaefer and his loyal and sympathetic assistants, we are led through the paths of Chemistry which will insure our ability to perform our duties as required of the custodian of public health.

A world of hitherto mysterious and unseen life. The in- l tricacies of the microscope soon became ordinary things to us. Seated at our tables we often heard the admonitions do not squint ; your cell walls are overlapping : etc. In this Laboratory many looked but saw not. This was especially true when we hunted for micro-crystals. However, with Professor H. Taub as our inspiration, we never failed to find what we were looking for. Another interesting portion of our work included pharmacognosy, or the study of the crude drugs, which make up most of the medicaments in use. Our sense of taste and smell, sometimes to our great discomfort, were very useful in identifying many drugs. The most outstanding period was the day when we tasted Aconite and when so many of us thought that we were going to die. It is without doubt that practically all of us did really enjoy and did derive some benefit from the study of botany and pharmacognosy, both macroscopic and microscopic. J. Gordon.

Yet in spite of the fact that it all seems simple and clear now, with an effort one can reach back into the past and grasp a memory of the glorious ' ' daze of the first few weeks : Some seventy-odd students lost in a maze of apparatus, drugs and equa- tions — loud huzzahs to the sound of the breaking of a flask or the crashing of a dish — fellows and girls rushing to the stock room — nitrates that won ' t come out — lead plasters that remain eternally a sticky mass — salicylates that turn brown and purple — Zinc Stearates that mysteriously disappear from the evaporating dish — papers that must be in by next week. Somehow, it is far in the distant past, right now — and we all feel sure that if we were to do it again, it would all be simple. Lead plasters would be con- quered in a half hour — scale salts would scale in a few minutes — But. after all, what does it matter? All our preparations have gone to their mysterious doom — but our lessons in technique and patience remain. And now we go forth — young men and women with youth ' s challenge upon our lips — we who have learned patience and efficiency in the laboratory, step forward with a confident smile on our lips to battle a new world — a hostile world — that will only give happiness to those who possess the essential qualities — the patience and efficiency — we learned in Lab.

Our fourth year was an ( yf admixture of both. For when work becomes an interesting pastime, it ( can no longer be identified with dirty apparatus and must} ' tomes. There is a greater capacity for good fellowship and competitive spirit in a group of ' five than in a larger group. Thus, throughout the course, sons of Albany and C. U. C. P. vied good-naturedly to uphold their respective laurels. In the Physics Lab., adjacent to the Dean ' s office, we were initiated into the technique of Food and Quantitative Analysis under the guidance of the Dean, Herbie, Dimmie and Doc Lieberman. Here was born the class executive. Five students ran for each office ; Dame Fortune was the elector. The f ortunates were Mr. Pond, president ; Mr. Mar, vice-president ; Mr. Blythe, secretary-treas- urer ; Mr. Cook, historian. Here, also, the students assisted the Dean in his National Formulary Revision work. That the class did not shine in extra-curricular activities was nowise indica- tive of class spirit. Members of the class did figure in the Rice Chemical So- ciety, the Kappa Psi Fraternity and the Students ' Council. Mr. Pond was instru- mental in planning the class theatre party held in conjunction with the Senior University Class, February eighth. There is not one of us unwilling to relive those pleasant hours spent back of the Lecture Hall, those Wednesday afternoon bull sessions in bibliography with Dr. Ballard, or trading quips with the caustic Pharmacy Lab. instructor. We may never rate as one of the Dean ' s best classes. We cannot all be Taubs, Kassners or Schaeffers, but let us endeavor to merit the confidence of our good friend — the faculty. m a RUDOLPH H.

EFREM LESLIE BERKOWITZ Erasmus Hall H. S., C. C. N. Y. Generous Berk — You know; if you need any pill mass in Pharmacy Lab see Berk; he always has enough to pass around.

Apothekan Staff, Honor Roll, Dance Com- mittee, Fraternity Basketball Team, Intra- fraternal Council, Vox Populi. SIDNEY DAVID BOLOGH Stuyvesant H. S. Just lend me your homework, and I ' ll show you where you are wrong. Beginning of the term, the school clerk makes an error in names — the instructor calls Bologney. The class responds, There ' s no Bo- logney in this class, but Bologh is here. SAMUEL BURTON Delta Sigma Theta Boys ' H. 3. A married man in our midst, but he still smiles. Sam ' s not afraid of work — but he ' s not in sympathy with it either. Somebody must have warned Sam about being ambitious. Picture Committee of Apothekan, Vox Populi. DAVID CARLYLE BUSCH Textile H. S. Persistency always wins. There was no use trying to flunk Dave, for he ' d pass in the long run anyway. Happy- go-lucky, irresponsible and likeable. Quite a devil with the women, too. Maimon Society, Dramatic Society, Class Night ' 31. K m U m W A. ARTHUR CASO Stuyvesant H. S. Arthur is always in the midst of the mischief-making but never in trouble. He is one of the few men whose embryonic mustaches fit. A man ' s man in spite of his size. JASON A. CHADKIN Xew Utrecht H. S. Quiet but persistent, usually acquiescent. He may not reach the heights of fame, but will get along just the same. Rho Pi Phi. Apothekan Staff. KANG CHU Stuyvesant H. S. Credit where credit is due. It ' s a pleasure to watch Kang work in the Lab. Xo short cuts for him, and his preparations attest to that fact. Knows his work from A to Z. The school orchestra surely will miss him.

Vox Populi. THOMAS G. COLARUSSO Mt. Vernon H. S. But really girls. I ' m so bored! It ' s sometimes tough to be handsome. Tom simply has to fight the girls off.

Has any one missed his early morning crow? He and a certain party who is famous for her cackle should get together in appprecia- tion of the Dean ' s lectures. IGNATIUS DIECIDUE Eastern District H. S. Who doesn ' t know Mussolini. Ignatius did not cre- ate much fuss when the St. Ignatius bean was encoun- tered in Pharmacognosy. But if we remember correctly, the bean contains strychnine. ALBERT DOCTORS Newtown H. S. It requires a good deal of will power to refrain from punning on Albert ' s name. He ' s a natural for the medical profession ; not that he isn ' t an asset to phar- macy. Maimon Society. Phi Delta Chi RALPH EM RICH Curtis Evening H. S.

Being efficient, he always leaves Dis- pensing Lab. an hour and a half before the others. Apothekan Staff, Intra-Fraternal Basket- ball, Vox Populi. MORTON FEITELBERG George Washington H. S. Doing things wrong and finishing right has become a habit with him. He is ever to be seen, a lone figure, in Manufacturing Lab. working long after ever;- one has gone home. ANTHONY L.

LOUIS GERSHKOWITZ Thomas Jefferson H. S. We almost had a hack-driver in our class, but fortu- nately Gershkowitz changed his mind, thereby keeping the world safe for democracy and human beings. HERMAN R. GLASER Sigma Tau Epsilon Bushwick H. S. One of them. Herman has seen the futility of argu- ing with the instructors, perhaps, because the teacher is always right. So — this year, Herman is taking it easy. Menorah Society. Forty-nine A o r JACOB JULIUS GLASER Sigma Tau Epsilon Stuyvesant H. S. The other one. Jake is always seen with his better half.

Dramatic Club, Dance Committee, Pharma- con, Apothekan Staff, Class Historian, Menorah Society. ISIDORE GEORGE GLOTZER Morris H. S. Professor Glotzer, a rather quiet, good-natured fel- low, who does his work well. He has yet to succeed in convincing the instructors that they are wrong. SAMUEL J. GNAIZDA Brooklyn Evening H. S. Gnaizda is a goodhearted fellow, who doesn ' t mind very much when someone tips over his Ferric Citrate. He is always willing to help others. DAVID GOLDBERG Sigma Tau Epsilon Boys H. S.

A font of knowledge, has the honor of being a Phi Beta Kappa man. Apothekan Staff, Vox Populi. X. Y. Jack MORRIS GRAXET Thomas Jefferson H. S. Morris, relishing his studies, is an exceptional student who has not experienced that student ' s delight cutting class. Is it because he is afraid he will miss something or does he wish to bathe in the fountain of wisdom. BENJAMIN GREENFIELD De Witt Clinton H. S. You can always count on this scholar to give a perfect recitation whenever another student is called upon to recite. The reason is obvious — Benny can read very- well from an open note book. Fifty-one li M m H ft — s h iriHiiE ° s H HYMAN DAVID GRENADIR Thomas Jefferson H. S. The only time one hears the name Grenadir is when the roll is called and when he is asked to render — if he can — a perfect recitation. A retiring student at hest. Menorah Society, Chess Club.

ANTOINETTE RITA GULLI Lambda Kappa Sigma New Utrecht H. S. There will always remain this question : Can she accomplish more with a mortar and pestle or with those big eyes? When it comes to emoting — Are the Messrs. Shubert in the house? MAX S. GUMER East H. S., Rochester. X. Y.

HARRY HARRIS De Witt Clinton H. S. The girls are afraid to exchange views with each other on their affairs d ' amours during quiz periods, for Harry can read their lips. This man is an excellent example to show that perseverance can overcome any physical handicap. Apothekan Staff. EUGENIA HEIDEN Julia Richman H. S. Sits in the first row, center seat, in the Lecture Hall The only girl who was seated in among the boys ; this is because of the helping hand she offered to a certain student.

Throughout our three years Padnis has been more or less of a silent partner, but still, we feel that behind those stern features there is a power which is meant to command success. IRVING PALEY Boys H. S. Paley is one of those few men of many words who go about saying very little.

(VYi A Life is a full-blown year, With all things in their season, Thus, in our school career, Bach change hath rhyme and reason; The seasons come and go, Each with its gift in hand, That we may see and know Hoiv well all life is planned. Spring: It is the time of all green and growing things, newness to all life. What is more fitting than that the freshman in this green time of his life should enter school? The first act of the class was to elect officers, and to the following fell the honors : President, Joseph Ferraro; Vice-President, James Thomas; Historian, Joseph Roller; Secretary, Elinor Dorr. Later in the year we held our first dance in conjunction with the Sec ond and Third year University Classes at the Pythian Temple. A great number turned out, and the affair was proclaimed a success. Sad to relate, by the end of our first year three members had left the class, thus leaving us with a total of twenty-two members. Sophomore (Summer) : March winds and April showers brought forth an abundance of May flowers and the summer-time came upon us almost before we knew it — so delightfully did this second season of our ripening blend with the other. We found the skies so much bluer and friendlier and the sun shone warmly upon us. We held our heads high and we kept the stalks that supported them very straight. They were not yet too heavy with accumulation of wisdom to droop with weight. But our flowers were slowly ripening. We were slowly but surely coming out into the light of the day. Our class started with two more members, who came from the college class. The routine of the class from year to year was the election of officers. Thus this year the class chose for President, Chris Wright; Vice-President, Johnson B. Givens ; Historian, Joseph Roller ; Secretary, Elinor Dorr. The outstanding social event of the year was a theatre party held early in February and enjoyed by all the class. Some of us were regretting the dead delight of our verdant days, while others looked ahead, looking for the new domain which the Juniors ruled so royally. Our buds had become blossoms, and the color of our dominant characters had changed with the unfolding of the larger bloom. Junior (Winter) : But even the summer stage passed on into eternity; the fruit was all gathered and stored away within our memories; we welcomed the approach of winter. The flowers have long since decayed as we outgrew them, and the seeds of the new life to be were stored away beneath the soil of our understanding, ready, at the call of the coming Spring, to put forth their new shoots and push forth into the new world. We stand at the end of our course — rugged manhood and womanhood, clad in spotless snow, while frost protects the yet immature germs of developing life from the blighting atmosphere. Thus, for the last time, we elected our officers. This year there was a bitter struggle. The class divided itself into two factions, and each fought each politically. When the smoke of the battle cleared away the following officers were elected: President, M. Pozdena; Vice-President. W. Hoeler ; Historian, J. Roller ; Secretary, Elinor Dorr. We must never forget that tomorrow we shall all enter into a renewal of life — into a bright, glorious new springtime — Freshmen in life ' s school — as green and fresh again to put fort h our new shoots as ever we seemed at school. We may be hazed by the world mercilessly, but we know that the value of our training will assert itself and give us a chance to demonstrate how well we can adopt ourselves to the new climate. We must not, like children — Grieve as if for aye Leaves, flowers and buds have passed away. For buds and blooms will again be seen And fields be gay and hills be green. Joseph M. Roller (Historian) ' •fe v I® z 30 f(V History of the College Class of 1932 « w CHAPTER I S n a bright, clear day on September 22nd, in the year of Grace 1929, there foregathered m i at the Portals of C. U. C. P. for the 101st session, a clamorous throng of youngsters in s their late teens, eager and rarin ' to go to begin their careers in Pharmacy. Attired in their best Sunday clothes, with brand new note books, sharp pencils and well-filled fountain pens (for they w-ere not as yet wise to the free-ink racket in the Registrar ' s Office), marched noisily into the Lecture Hall for their first Lecture. The brief address of welcome was made by Professor Fanchon S .Hart, and she wasted no time in this formality but plunged into the bane of our College Course, Materia Medica, be- ginning with the Algae. And so through the ensuing days and weeks we became acquainted with a Perfect System of Metrology, and the different nuts, bolts, gaskets, washers, and other gadgets that constitute, when assembled a perfect Bunsen Burner, and the initiation into the methods of Pinkerton, Bertillon, Burns, Flynn, Holmes Protective Patrol, in order to detect the presence of Ag, Hg, Ph. Arsenic, Sod, Potassium, et al. (et al. means the rest of the darned crew). There followed the Freshies Rush for Frats. After the cream and some of the whey of the Freshman Class were put through their grotesque and amusing pledges, we were initiated into the mysteries of Politics and the passive art of voting for Class Officers. The final tabu- lation showed: For President, A. RosEx; Vice-President, H. Rosenberg; Secretary, G. Tictex: Historian, A. Stein-. External Factors that affected in no small degree the entity known as the Class of ' 32, was the awful and devastating Stock Market Crash of 1929. It ' s reverberations reached even the cloistered security of our Student Body. The analogy between the first session of the New York College of Pharmacy 100 years ago and the beginning of the second century of the College is very striking. Those brave souls who launched our Alma Mater worked under severe handicaps, which were more of an internal nature. The 101st session is launched under external affairs almost as soul-trying as in that remote day of our Alma Mater ' s birth. And yet, Sweet are the uses of Adversity , for it develops the stamina, the courage, the manliness of a people. Followed the days of cramming for the Mid-Year exams — then our Social Education began with the Freshman Dance at the Hotel Alamac. Apparently this department of our College Course was most popular and also superfluous — Popular, in that the Hall was jammed, but even with the stepping on each others ' toes, we were happy — the boys in their tuxedos, the girls in their revealing gowns — Superfluous — though several of the Professors were present — I thought to teach us the latest steps to that Hot Jazzy Band — the Class knew their tamales very well — though we were glad to know that the College was trying to give us a perfectly rounded education by sending those amiable Professors. Spring arrived and our discovery of the College Campus just a few blocks away from the Main Building, known outside of our sphere as Central Park, the happy days spent developing our better understanding of our lovely and charming Co-eds, by the age-old device of a canoe on a lake, a sturdy pair of arms splashing the oars until a secluded nook is found ; sweet days, studying the Finals, while the feathered pals chirped and sang in the leafy branches of the venerable trees on our own and secret campus. CHAPTER II Late September, 19o0, found us all again foregathered at dear old C. U. C. P. But, what a difference from that first day a year ago. Hello Mack — Hello Joe — Hello Baby — Backslapping, handshakes, everyone knows every- body — just a family reunion gathered for a big Feast of Knowledge, from the kitchens of that revered Lady of Ample Proportions — Alma Mater — assisted in the courteous and correct serv- ing by our beloved New Dean, Dr. H. V. Amy, and his equally well-liked and able Professors. What a Feast ! Luscious Fruits, leaves, barks, rhizomes, corns, berries, from every nook and cranny in our far-flung world — Luscious? — Well, some were not so very — Then there were those two sweet-looking twins — Collenchyma and Parenchyma — they looked so alike even under the compound microscope that we shudder when we think of the confusion that may result when they marry and live under the same roof. Election of officers was again in order and the final count gave the Presidency to A. Rosen ; Vice-President, H. L. Handsman ; Secretary, Kay Fromm ; Historian, E. Glide. w ffVll Seventy-seven S  k= 0C 5 CA ' W 0 = $ [ w m k lyiLl ' lJllH tf °% IflHSIE yiBllPlDliriHIIEIKlRIIIII  =% % Our second Social Debut was made at Park Central Hotel, and, tho old man Pluvius had every spigot open from the gates of Heaven, that would ordinarily deter Prudence and Ma- turity — but not Youth — out for a Good Time. The outstanding event of the second year — Curricula — was the graphic and visual dramati- zation of the effects of snake venom on living matter. The victim was a pigeon injected with a small amount of venom, and a second pigeon receiving the same dose was saved by prompt antivenin treatment. Our tender-hearted co-eds, not as yet immured to the rigors of a strict scientific research and the sacrifices necessary to that exacting Deity, were filled with pity, and lovely eyelashes were misty with tears for the poor victim that was sacrificed for our learning. As our literary giants in Hollywood would say, Came the Spring and found us pursuing happily our dreams of Romance and interspiced with rare intervals of study. Final exams, each of us wending his weary and contented way home for the summer vacation. CHAPTER III The journey ' s end is near, and with that comraderie which can be compared with a Trans- atlantic Voyage, the passenger list of the good ship C. U. C. P. are straining their eyes in the direction whence Captain Amy said Land will be visible — the impatience of us to land, though the food and attention of Captain Amy ' s stewards are of the best. It seems that there was taken on board too much provender and, not wishing to dump this good food, we are given great big generous portions of Materia Medica, and since we are on the High Seas, this day shop is wide open, attended by our own Dr. Wimtner, who is giving freely of Tinctre, Spirits, Syrups, Elixirs, and urging us to dose ourselves freely and well. The usual Political event is marked this year by the more intensive campaigning for the honors of the Senior Class officers. The hotly contested places were filled as follows: For President, A. Rosen; Vice-President, J. Pavone; Secretary, E. Guck; Historian, B. SCHANZINGER. Mid-year exams come and go with unfailing regularity, and the hardships it imposes in being aroused from our tranquillity and slumbers during lectures to again concentrate on the object for which our Fathers and Mothers are making in these trying days, their supreme sac- rifices. Yet we are not unmindful of our own obligations and are trying to fulfill them with more than our latent ability and determination. The year is somewhat shadowed by the announcement made by our Dr. Rusby of his de- cision to resign his official connection with C. U. C. P., though we cannot find the words or phrases to properly express the sincere regret and great loss to our Alma Mater, yet we cannot but honor him for the high Ideals that prompted his decision to be a martyr, alone, of that tugging at the heart, when Reason impels one to give up a lifetime of Love and Devotion and tear asunder every fiber and thread of the body that binds one to that Love, so that the Loved ones shall in no way suffer for the acts of the Lover. Greater Love hath no man than this — that he laid down his life for his friend, and yet we feel that we were negligent of our duties in that we should not have prevailed upon him the rule of Ruth, Whither thou goest, I shall go, and thy God shall be my God. This expres- sion of our Student Body, I am sure, would save a breaking heart. At last, the Captain shouts LAND! LAND! — great bustling, excitement, incident to land- ing, the gangplank is in place at Carnegie Hall — the Music is playing Onward, Christian Sol- diers , while Captain Amy is giving each one of us a debarkation slip — Ph.

Then followed a rigorous period of training to condition the candidates and selecting those who showed the greatest ability. The squad was then cut to ten men and signal practice followed. It appeared from the start that our team was at a great disadvantage in weight, height and experience in competition with other teams of the league. Nevertheless, the boys tried hard, displayed great courage and stamina through- out the season and proved themselves thorough sportsmen. The season started against alumni on November 24, 1931, and Varsity won handily, 28 to 19, after an exciting game. Thereafter the team played through a strenuous season of exhibition and league games with variable success. Among the outstanding feats of the team was its victory over Rutgers, the first time C. U. C. P. beat Rutgers in five years. The final score was C. U. C. P. 21. Rutgers 9. The game with Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, always a thriller, brought out the best team play of the schedule, but with a minute to play Brook- lyn took the lead and then froze the ball. The final score was C. U. C. P. 25, Brooklyn 28. The prospects for next year ' s team are brighter than ever and the team ' s plaving as a unit again should lead them to the championship of the Pharmacy League. The members of the team express their thanks and praise to Manager Sam Simon, Assistant Manager Nat Lyons, Coach William Laub, Mr. Miale and Prof. Carter for their earnest efforts in their behalf. Morris Belitz. Preliminary to the Varsity basketball games the inter-fraternity league held its games. The championship was won by Rho Pi Phi. WRESTLING TEAM r s a NEW venture in our extra curricula activities, the wrestling team ' s ( T efforts were highly successful. This squad of huskies under the expert I coaching of Mr. Fanelli proved that new and further activities can be successfully undertaken at our college providing that those who participate are enthusiastic and serious with their work. At the start of the season in early November, most of the men who reported to Coach Fanelli were little experienced in this sport. However, after careful and regular training, matches were held between halves of our regularly sched- uled home basketball games, to the keen enjoyment of all. The interest displayed by our students and faculty in the wrestling matches was encouraging to the boys and inspired them to train the harder. Among the interesting matches held during the year were Hostomsky vs. E. Fish, Arida vs. Kaplan. Belitz vs. Raymen. E. Fish vs. S. Fish, Hoeller vs. Rosen and Kaplan vs. 66. The team expresses gratitude and appreciation to Coach Fanelli. Captain Jack Kaplan and Manager Edw. Hostomsky. M. Z. Belitz.

Follow- f ing the modern trend she, too, has merged in with none other than Lambda Kappa Sigma, the oldest and largest national pharmaceutical sorority in the United States, with 17 active chapters and four alumnae chapters, comprising over 700 girls and spreading from coast to coast. On March 11, 1931, Sigma Chapter was incepted into the rank and file by Mrs. Millicent La Wall, of Philadelphia, in a ceremony conducted at the Hotel Ansonia, when 22 girls became ' sorors of Lambda Kappa Sigma. The rituals were carried out by Pi of Rutgers College of Pharmacy of New Jersey. Our honorary members, who were also in attendance at the dinner, served at Keen ' s Chop House, were Mrs. H. H. Rusby, Mrs. H. V. Amy, Mrs. C. P. Wimmer and Prof. Fanchon Hart, to whom we presented corsages of yellow sweet peas trimmed with blue satin, our new colors being blue and gold. The new school year. 1931- ' 32, has been an active one for L. K. S. Monthly bridges, given at the homes of various sorors, installation of officers, rush parties, pledging, initiation and a ' formal have followed one upon another in rapid succession. On Sunday, January 31st, four freshman girls were initiated, with the help of our honoraries, in the Hotel President. This was followed by a Russian din- ner at the Petrushka. The usual happy and excited crowd was in attendance at our annual which was held at the Hotel Plaza on Saturday evening, March 5th. Swaying to the strains of a Rudy Yallee ' s orc hestra, the dancer ' s faces seemed to express their gratification for being present at another of our well-known and well-attended soirees.

Alpha Zeta Omega was first organized at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science as the Dead Man ' s Club, which was the nucleus of the strongest Pharmaceutical Fra- ternity of its kind. This nucleus, consisting of 12 men, was later recognized as the Dozen. Due to the true fraternity spirit prevailing, the organization evolved into the internationally known Alpha Zeta Omega Fraternity. The fraters in our school have striven faithfully to attain success and have been fittingly awarded. Some of the outstanding activities of the season have been our Smoker at the Hotel Taft on November 29, 1931, at which Doctors Rosenthal and Pozner demonstrated some of the newer diagnostic tests. The semi-annual dance was held at the Hotel Plaza. January 16, 1932. at which the faculty and graduates were well represented. The members of the school are quite active and their achievements numerous. w ' §L° Eighty-nine 0te _ n TIWIE 8 3n gj || iBiipiDiinmiEiKiRiimn = 8 =Jf = ' H CDC President Dominick: F.

DANTE CIRCLE A x 1922 just a few students in this college, headed by our most affectionate CI friend. Mr. D. Fanelli. formed an Italian organization known as the Co- lumbia Dante Circle. The purpose of this Italian organization was to bring together all the Italian students who were interested in Italian Art, Litera- ture and Culture. In the year of 1926 the Dante Circle planned to raise funds for a medal known as the Diekman Medal, to be awarded the student having obtained the highest rating in Theoretical Pharmacy, during his three years at College of Pharmacy. During 1930 the Medal Fund was completed, enabling the Circle to present its first medal. The Diekman Medal was presented to the Trustees at a dinner and dance on May 3. 1930, at the Hotel Pennsylvania. The dinner was in honor of Dr. Diekman, to whom the medal was presented for the first time and at which Dean Arny acted as Toastmaster. Speeches were delivered by our former Dean Rusby, Prof. YVimmer. Prof. Dor f man. Mr. Kaye, Mr. Fanelli. Our honorary member, Prof. Dorfman, presented the medal to Mr. Costello, a member of Trustees, who gladly accepted it. Under capable leadership the Dante Circle is enjoying its season. Among the social events given at the Casa Italiana wa s a successful dance held in the main ballroom. This affair was held to bring together again the Alumni Mem- bers and the present most active members of the Circle. At present we are looking forward to a delightful time at our Annual Dance and initiation of our new members. Under the capable guidance of our Honorary and Faculty Members, there is no doubt that the Dante Circle will continue to function in the future as well as it has in the past. hmety-one IS m O ' ■ C( 3 . | lHIIPlDITOlEIKIBllili f £l c ys « « (VYi K lfiutw % c A 0 OFFICERS Ben Segal Chancellor George Goldberg Vice-chancellor Richard Buck Scribe Nat Tannenbaum Treasurer Henry Cohen Historian Harold Weiss : Sentinel HONORARY MEMBERS Dr. Dieckman Prof. A.

With these fundamentals in mind the Mortar and Pestle Club was founded at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. The Club prospered both in size and strength. Soon thereafter it was recognized bv the College as the Alpha Chapter of a new fraternty. DELTA SIGMA THETA . Many factors favored the growth of this organization. Its belief in the brotherhood and equality of man. religious liberty, tolerance, and the elevation of Pharmacy in cooperation with allied professions are indeed laudable. DELTA SIGMA THETA is unique in its having Chapters at several Colleges of medicine and dentistry within New York City. Through this means it strives to unite more closely the Pharmacist, Doctor and Dentist. With Alpha Chapter established in Brooklyn College it was not long before other Chapters were founded at leading Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry throughout the country. DELTA SIGMA THETA was ambitious. It was not content with the splendid work it had done, but sought for itself new laurels and an opportunity to spread further its high ideals. The result was the organizing of a Chapter at the Medical College of the University of Benul. Benul, Syria. Under the leadership of its officers Delta Chapter has just completed one of the most successful seasons in its history. The major events of the year were the Annual Formal Dance held at Jansens Ho f bran and its testimonial dinner to its honorarv members. = o c = - A = r ?fl ' ' ' iff ' in -- - n , -, ,-, ,- - -t ._-, % n i - n is irnit s T il v in n imf ocacraocso 0 Js OFFICERS Regent George V.

Since that time the (j record of the Fraternity has heen an enviable one. During the forty-four _J years of its existence it has been characterized by the spirit .of good fellow- ship and fraternal service that is so essential to any organized group. The activities of the season were inaugurated by the annual smoker held. November 13. at John Jay Hall. A good turnout of the Alumni resulted and several brothers of other chapters attended. The neophytes were informed of many interesting sidelights on pharmacy by our alumni and guests. In the golf tournament with Phi Delta Chi the trophy changed hands this year, but we have promised the Phi Chi boys a good fight next time. Following this came the Inter- Fraternity basketball game. The outstanding events of the year were the Fraternity dance in March and the annual banquet in April. The success of the two functions can be attributed to the ambitious committee under the leadership of Arthur Parrini. That the work of the Fraternity will be carried on is assured by an influx of new blood. In this the chapter has been fortunate in attracting men who measure up to the Kappa Psi ideal. Our membership is drawn from a wide area and although many of our brothers after graduating cannot keep in actual touch with the activities of the chapter they carry with them a Kappa Psi spirit which makes the memory of their student days a pleasant recollection.

Since that time the list of chapters has grown until in 1928 Alpha Eta chapter was established at the College of the City of Detroit. Chapters of Phi Delta Chi are established at colleges which are members of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. Gamma chapter of Phi Delta Chi at Columbia received its charter from the national organization in 1889, having existed as an organization since 1884. Gamma chapter is proud to honor among its charter members Dr. George C. Diekman, Dr. William A. Hoburg, Frank N. Pond, Dr. Caswell A. Mayo, Nel- son S. Kirk, Dr. Julius Tannenbaum and Dr. H. B. Ferguson. The school year of 1931-32 was inaugurated by a successful smoker held at John Jay Hall. Columbia University. A pledge party was held on December 1, 1931, at the Pythian Temple. The chapter held its annual formal at the Barbizon- Plaza Hotel last January 29th. The function attracted many Phi Chi men and the affair resulted in a very good success. The Grand Council will convene in Los Angeles in July, 1932, in order to coincide with the Olympic games. Gamma ' s annual banquet, termina ' ing the activities of the year, will be held in May. The active chapter wishes to take this opportunity sincerely to express its appreciation for the cooperation and support of the faculty, and to wish those who are being graduated success and happiness in their life ' s work.

They saw themselves united by firm, indissoluble bonds of fraternalism. swore as men swear, to share each other ' s burdens through life. Confronted as they were by conditions utterly devoid of the noble ideals and deeds of the romantic Middle Ages, how comforting and thrilling was the thought that standing on the threshold of new careers and facing the terrors of an unknown world, they would fare forth like pioneers and soldiers, shoulder to shoulder and arm in arm ! Together, whether in storm or calm, they would plod the path of years ; together with their humaneness and their idealism they would seek to enable each other ' s life. In harmony with this aesthetic conception there developed as an objective an earnest desire to carry the standards of their profession, the pharmaceutical code of ethics, to new heights of integrity and honor. This vision was realized when they organized Gamma Chapter of Rho Pi Phi Fraternity. Their dream came true. They united. They became brothers. They became Ropes. Today Gamma Chapter numbers one hundred and twenty-six men. Its phenomenal growth is indisputable evidence that in modern times, characterized by hurrying, pushing, scrambling, and fighting in a constant struggle to amass wealth or renown, namely, in this machine age. there is something lacking. The individual as a human being has no room for expression. Who doubts, then, that Rho Pi Phi has supplied an aching want ? Who wonders that one after mother are drawn to this outlet for the colorful sentimentality, to swell the ranks to as many as one hundred and twenty-six? And all of these have embraced the same principles and sworn the same fidelity. Most have embarked into the practice of Pharmacy. To the others there remains the uncertainty of unexplored realms ahead of them. Trembling on the brink of the unknown these find cour- age and strength in brotherhood. To every frater Rho Pi Phi is a haven of hope and a fortress of inspiration, urging all to fulfill destinies worthy of its ideals. January. 1932.

U. boys saw fit to create a fraternal ' organization for the purpose of fostering formation of closer friendship and good fellowship among men, to promote love, loyalty and unity among brethren, and to spread the teaching of the Torah and Jewish culture throughout mankind. Thus was founded S. T. E. fraternity. Since then it has grown and has established chapters in colleges throughout the United States. In 1925 a charter was granted to a group of students at Columbia University. They then elected Prof. Dorfman as their honorary frater and faculty advisor. Since then S. T. E. has displayed great activity at C. U. C. P. Among its membership there have been class officers, year book editors, winners of various school scholarships, pin committees, and class night entertainers. Besides the usual run of activities of the chapter, such as dances, parties, smokers, and banquets. Gamma leased a house at the seashore last summer, where we enjoyed our wei beach parties, etc. In the latter part of September, 1931, Gamma celebrated its sixth anniversary by a banquet at the Pepper Pot in Greenwich Village. New Year ' s eve was spent at Charlie ' s French Restaurant, while Xew Year ' s day was spent at the Hotel Astor, meeting the brethren en masse from the various chapters gathering for the ninth annual convention. The chapter is arranging to give their graduating brethren a banquet this June. The officers have demonstrated their activity and aptitude for the position they hold, and the strides made by Gamma have reflected the caliber of its officers. Gamma is represented in the Lilly, the Macy, and the Pomroy laboratories. The graduating members are certain that their worth) ' successors will carry the traditions, ideas, and prestige of Gamma, as their preceding frarers have done and to uphold Gamma ' s motto. How good and how pleasant it is for ' fraters ' to dwell together in unity.

With this as a nucleus, new chapters were quickly formed in the leading colleges of New York State. The object of T. D. M. is to perpetuate the friendships and relationships arising during the course of study at C. U. C. P. Besides a high class standing, a man ' s interest in college affairs and his promise for future worth are taken into consideration before initiating him as a member of this fraternity. In 1929 T. D. M. approaching its tenth birthday showed evidence of ever- increasing strength in all respects. Delta chapter of C. U. C. P. started the social activities with a smoker at Pythian Temble followed by a Convention Dance at the Hotel Astor, a New Year ' s celebration and a spring affair at the Village Black Cat. These activities were climaxed by a boat ride which brought the year to a close. In 1930 T. D. M. celebrated C. U. C. P. ' s centennial and raised the cultural and social standards of the fraternity. Activities began with a Gala Smoker at a Mid-Broadway Hotel, followed by the convention dance at the Hotel Astor and bi-monthly parties. The spring affair held at the Hollywood Restaurant long remained in the memories of the fraters. The social season was closed with the customary boat ride. The year 1931 ushered in the new officers with an excuse for a banquet tendered them at the Pythian Temple. The next in order was a Hallowe ' en Party, which was quite a success, at which fraternity movies were shown for the first time. Following was the Testimonial Dinner and Dance given at the Rainbow Inn in honor of the married fraters. Following the Convention Dance and New Year ' s Eve celebration. Delta is looking forward to the bi-monthly parties and spring affair at the Hollywood Restaurant which will bring the most enjoyable year of a successful administration to a close. We feel sure that our fraters in the class of 1933 are worthy successors who will carry on the ideals and traditions of T. D. M. as their preceding brethren have done.

Y., was founded in C. U. C. P. for the purpose of promoting Jewish culture and ideals. It is, however, non-sectarian and invites the attendance of all students at its meetings for dis- cussions of all topics. Weekly meetings are held at the College, where cultural topics such as Jewish History, Religion. Psychology. Philosophy, World Topics, also candid opinions on Jewish life and thought form the basis of a thorough discussion. Speakers of all denominations are invited to lecture to the Menorah Society. The following prominent speakers have addressed the society during the first semester : Dr. D. de Sola Pool, Prof. J. S. Dorf man, Prof. H. Taub, Dr. E. Bil- chick, Mr. S. Kaye, Mr. E. Rabinovitz and Mr. P. Fehder. The following are scheduled to address the Menorah during the second semester : Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Dr. J. Leon Lascoff, Prof. F. D. Lascoff, Prof. A. Taub, Rabbi B. Braun- stein, Dr. Joseph Tenenbaum, Mr. V. Lewitus and student members. The activities and achievements of the year 1931-1932 have made it a mem- orable one in the history of the Menorah Society of C. U. C. P. Two outstanding men in America were inducted as Honorary Members of the Menorah Society. They are : Dr. H. V. Amy, Dean of C. U. C. P. and Dr. de Sola Pool, Rabbi of the Spanish-Portuguese Synagogue. The Society is greatly indebted to Prof. Dorfman and Mr. Kaye for their aid and advice rendered to the organization. To the Menorah members as well as to all the graduates, the president and officers of the Menorah Society extend to them sincerest wishes for success in all their future undertakings.

Rice, a man who in his achievements as a teacher and trustee, as well as editor of the U. S. P. (1870-1901), has indeed set an example to us in his high ideals of scholarship, integrity and research, which we are earnestly endeavoring to uphold. The recent activities of the society have included trips during the Christmas vacation to the Colgate and Squibh plants, which imparted knowledge of the com- mercial phases of chemistry and pharmacy to the members. The organization can indeed be thankful to the interesting speakers — Dr. . Amy. Dr. Ballard. Dr. Carter. Dr. Schaefer. Professor H. Taub, and Professor A. Taub — who have honored the society with their delightful and interesting talks. The student members have delivered talks before the society upon such topics as Pigments. Sugar Industry. Electro-Metric Titration. Ultra- Violet Radia- tion. Coffee Industry and Dynamite. which well illustrated the various branches of science. The society is indeed proud that there are such students who are capable of carrying into life ' s struggle the high ideals and aims of the society. With sincere gratitude and appreciation to our faculty advisors — Dr. Amy, Dr. Kassner, Professor A. Taub and Mr. Liberman — for their efforts and activtr co-operation, the society can proudly say that it has lived up to its purpose and ideals. In conjunction with this solemn occasion of graduation, we graduates should always have in mind these inspiring lines : Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing.

The fraternity, although there are man} ' outside the scope of collegiate sponsorship is. strictly speaking, a product of college life. From a humble beginning of one fraternity in 1776, the number has grown to such proportions that today every letter of the Greek alphabet has been honored many, many times over. The desire for friendship and the lure of mysticism has served to cause membership in these organizations to be sought and cherished by the majority of students. The fraternities of our College have and do serve a very useful pur- pose. To many of the bewildered and awe-struck freshmen they extend a wel- come hand and furnish them with fatherly(?) advice as to when, how. and why of the school. They bring together in close relationship practically total strangers. From many of these lifelong friendships have developed. The past three years have witnessed sufficient socials, smokers, parties, dances, etc., to have made our stay at college more interesting and pleasant. The fraternities have served to temper droll and tedious studies with laughter and merrymaking. Last, but not least, they are the foundation upon which C. U. C. P. can and is developing a system of intra-student athletics. The foregoing might lead us to believe that our sister students have not been alive to the opportunities offered by fraternalism. Such is not the case. On the contrary, the sorors have been most active. Their sorority has contributed in a very large measure to break the monotony of school routine. Their round of teas, bridge parties and dances have been most welcome to the student body. It is hoped that the graduating members of the sorority and fraternities will continue to keep in close touch with their respective organizations. Their earnest cooperation will further and extend the social and extra-curricular activities of C. U. C. P. J. Gordon.

And now, upon the threshold of a career, the student may well look back upon the pleasant hours spent in the quest of that elusive art — Knowledge. Hours spent in rapt attention as our esteemed professors unfold age-old theories and the more modern hypotheses that remain yet to be proven.

It may be stretching it a bit to say that we, in spouting words from our columns, endeavored to leave an unmistakable indication of our desire to accom- plish something. It has been but the second step forward in the experimental ground that was laid down last year by our predecessors. In reaching the means we have criti- cized and suffered to be criticized. But neither was Rome built in one day. It is for future classes not to stand idle at the crossing, but to continue along the same and constructive lines so that future generations, in going through musty archives, will find the living record of the beginning and result of the experiment. Although handicapped by a schedule that leaves practically no time for out- side activities, and delayed by examinations that leave no time for other thoughts, we feel we have in a measure contributed something constructive to our future. We have continually maintained a policy of publishing student opinion hon- estly and conservatively. We have invited outside opinion along the same lines. In endeavoring to make the paper self-supporting, we initiated an active cam- paign for advertisers and proved successful in our endeavor. To make the paper richer and more attractive, we constructed a new cover design for it. We cannot take leave without making mention of those who united in the publishing of our little paper. Al Pfeffer, as business manager, contributed g reatly to the success of the paper. Messrs. Rosenberg, Handsman, Simon, Perelzweig and Miss Glick were active and thoughtful contributors and collec- tively made up a capable and efficient staff. To those whose opinions we printed or rejected, we extend our appreciation and thank them for making an arduous task a little easier and pleasanter.

The doors opened and we streamed in, ( shy. hut nevertheless eager objects. We examined the various pictures of the famous and near-famous alumni that graced the lobby, and perhaps some of us made some silent resolutions that we, too, would be there in the future. Hardly had we fitted ourselves into the routine of the school, than we stumbled upon hidden horrors and pitfalls that surrounded us on all sides. Dazed by the sudden assault of the ferocious tribes of rhodophyceae. infundibulars, licmophorae and chlamydomonas, we passed through the first part of the year in what is commonly known as ' in a fog. By degrees we acclimated ourselves to our new environment and, with our superior intelligence at hand, began the conquest of the phaeophyceae, ankistrodesmi and related species. Assured of victory and initiated into the mysteries of pharmacy, we, with one accord, decided a rest was due us, and to our astonishment, found that our decision coincided with the approaching summer vacation. f ii SECOND YEAR m Sufficiently recuperated from this hectic and first-hand meeting with the arts and sciences relating to pharmacy, we St. Georges returned to further battle the dragons that lay in wait for us. No sooner had we settled ourselves com- fortably in our new quarters, than we were surrounded by the savage ambocep- tors, and their allies, the examthematas and polymorphoneuclear-neutrophiles. It was with difficulty that we managed to hold our own, besides making short but sure gains. We were indeed fortunate to have our disposal the pharmacy de- partment ' s store of aspirin and bromide and other drugs that stimulated our already overtaxed and weakened encephalons. It is with no small degree of pride that we were again victors in the second annual battle. The coming of the sum- mer vacation at this crucial period of our second year, allowed us a breathing spell to rest and gird ourselves for the final onslaught. Yd y$ ft l.fi 1 1 I rill THIRD YEAR The summer passed quickly, but to some not quickly enough, in their anxiety to start the final lap. It was ten to nine. In strolled a stream of con- fident and nonchalant mammals, gazing around with that proprietary air acquired by continuous contact. Calmly we placed ourselves on our thrones in that re- cumbent position acquired only by constant habit. Slowly the clock ticked and the days, the weeks and the months passed, until we awoke with a shock to find May first just around the corner. Immediately the library became the scene of great industry with students attempting what our worldly-wise faculty calls the impossible — memorizing the huge monument of notes that materialized from no- where. At this time of the year the death rate among the students was particu- larly high. Then came those sleepless nights .... cramming days .... key- words .... formulas .... silence in a room full of students .... and finally it all passed away, as though in a dream. At last the day of days — GRADU- ATION of The Best Class Ever — with those quickly forgotten promises to write and meet again. Samuel Freedmax. - 1 ran , J EXCERPTS FROM THE PHARMAKON « SAGE once remarked, you did your best. That is success. To do ( yf your best means not only to try your hardest, but also to see to it that I you make use of all available means of enabling you to put forth your best efforts. The student of today has inherited the accumulated treasures culled from the mighty minds of the past. The fortune lies before him, to be had for the taking. But, like taking candy from a child (did you ever try it?) it requires a great deal of effort. Hard work, steady application, firmness of purpose, are all essential to the task before you ; — the disciplining of the mind, the develop- ment of the power to think and act for yourself and finally the absorption of the special knowledge applicable to, and required in the particular field of endeavor which is.to be your life work. As Ruskin put it, The law of nature is that a certain quantity of work is necessary to produce a certain quantity of good of any kind whatever. If you want knowledge, you must toil for it, if food, you must toil for it, if pleasure, you must toil for it. Our school offers you the material, and excellent instruction in the methods of their use. The rest is up to you. Be sure that you make full use of what you are here to get, and what you get if you but reach out for it, so that when you graduate, you can look back upon your school career and honestly say: I have done mv best. M The first thing the student should do is to orient himself — find out just where he stands. Where he intends to go from there, and by what means. He must formulate his plans, concentrate and crystallize his thoughts and energy to the task at hand. The 95 c c of perspiration which the late Thomas Edison so eloquently urged, must be shed. The full enthusiasm and ambition must be aroused and sustained, if the student is to advance financially and take his place in the community. The object of the student, if he reflects at all, is not to play a game with his professors — it is to prepare himself for his life work. He will do well to keep this in mind. Above all. the student must develop the iron in his soul, to withstand the hard knocks that await him. Epectetus said, When one considers what man is, he never is perturbed at what happens. It is all very well not to be perturbed. One must go further and be prepared to meet and overcome what happens to come in one ' s path. That way, alone, lies success. But. since civilization began, always timorous age and disillusioned experi- ence has been frightened by headstrong, wayward youth. The older generation is no exception. At the moment, many o ' f them are in debauch of despair over alleged sins and weaknesses of the young. Many teachers, who have forgotten the realities of their own youth, share that despair. This has brought about a revolt from Youth. and why not? Youth has an unimaginable, prodigious amount of obstacles to cope with, the greatest of which is convention. It has to prepare for a long and tedious journey through life. Were it not for the tyrannical finger of some of these people, who knows but that most pretentious extents might have been reached.

Whereas we were conceived in an Ideal of Learning and thus found our existence in a well-ordered and established domicile, and our brief existence has not tended to an accumulation of the material things of life, and what we found upon birth we cannot will away, even so as man cannot will away the earth, the sea and the heavenly bodies. That posterity may not think that our life has been in vain, we do, as our last gesture hope to make, the little world in which we first saw the dawn of knowledge a better place for our successors. The first axiom we learned was that there should be a better understanding between physician and pharmacist. Each should have a sympathetic knowledge of their individual problems and difficulties and should bend every effort to make the relationship stronger and more effective. In a retrospective mood, we review the many lectures of our learned Pro- fessors in this direction, but find that, the efforts towards this ideal state are made in our later existence. This is, therefore, motivated by selfishness and material gain and thus kills the high ideal we so fondly cherished. The time to weld the links of this exalted and necessary chain is by mutual contact and helpfulness during our formative years, when our minds run to lofty things and dreams of avarice are unknown, we therefore, in our poverty of the materialistic and with the wealth of our learning, give, devise, and bequeath to our Alma Mater the following formula : 1. To acquire by an exchange of our old domicile a suitable-sized strip of land, in and forming part and parcel of that estate known as the Medical Center, situated and lying on Broadway and 168th St.. in the city of New York. 2. To issue bonds for the erection of a new College of Pharmacy, with large and spacious rooms and offices for our learned Professors in which they may find inspiration and pleasure to carry on their scientific bent for research. 3. A large Campus, where Pharmacy Students and Medical Students can meet and exchange views on Materia Medica, Physiology or even Jurisprudence. Where, perhaps, a friendship born in a common consecration to science, without guile and flattery, each an embryonic specialist in his field, with the lofty vision of youth, may co-operate and find the formula or discover the substance that will benefit mankind immeasurably. 4. The need for funds will be greatly relieved, our beloved Dean will not pray for a Divine Providence to inspire some generous contributions, for the public mind, always partial and friendly toward the medical sciences, will spread its munificence to pharmacy when pharmacy will rear its head as part and parcel of the whole — medical science. 5. The University courses, giving our Dean so much concern, and which is so dear to his heart, will be on a firmer basis, for the physicians of the future will gladly take the University course with its degree even though one year longer, in lieu of their three-year pre-medical course. 6.

We herebv direct our said executors not to abjure execution and fulfill- ment of this, our last will and testament, so that the words of Gray ' s Elegy in a Country Churchyard shall not haunt us : Perhaps in tliis neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed, Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre. But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page Rich with the spoils of time did ne ' er unroll: Chill Penury repressed their noble rage, And froze the genial current of the soul. In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and affixed our seals, for and on behalf of the Class of 1932 duly authorized to do so, at the College, in the presence of Professor Frederick D.

OH THE FEHCE 1 tit J TO THE FACULTY T OR three trying vears we have been under your guidance. We have v_T studied, sometimes well — all too frequently not so well — the homework you — have given us in order to discipline our minds. Y e, at least many of us, have been just as slack as we dared to be and seemed to have had little considera- tion for you. Yet, through all that time you have not failed in your duty to train us. Xow we are to profit from our association with you. On May 26, 1932, when we are called up to receive our diplomas, we shall have to thank you for your patience and teachings. Do not, however, think that we are ungrateful. Even when we have appeared to oppose you most strongly, we have known in our hearts that we were working against our own interests. We have learned from you. perhaps, in spite of our- selves. Who could listen to Professor Harry Taub ' s lectures on Posology, and hear his witty remarks on Croton Oil and Spiritus Frumenti without being taught the new Taub ' s Mathematics ? Who could sit through ninety weeks of Dean Amy ' s striking dissertations on organic and inorganic chemistry without under- standing how to make Ester ? Who could be a member of Professor Lascoff ' s Business Pharmacy classes without knowing the five laws which make a bankrupt and how to apply them to your drug store ? And who could spend a year under Professor Kaye without knowing how to give an overdose of strychnine or arsenic and get away with it? Seriously, though, members of the faculty, you have helped us more than you realize. You have given us the best preparation possible for our later life. You have made it possible for us to compound prescriptions safely for the public. You have corrected many of our faults and have smoothed out others. You have wrought in us great changes that will remain with us forever. Xow that we are on the verge of graduation, we fully understand your great work, and it is with real sorrow that we say, like the gladiators of Rome : XOS ITURI YOS SALUTAMUS! Tack Kaplan.

A group of energetic pharmacists were as- C sembled at the Shakespeare Tavern in New York City in order to discuss plans for establishing a school of training for the pharmacist. Thus i t was that the birth of our College took place. A constitution was drawn up. and ' die Board chose Dr. Torrey as the first Professor of Chemistry and Dr. Brown as the first Professor of Materia Medica and Pharmacy. The next step was to obtain students. This was accomplished by selling lecture tickets to apothecaries and apprentices at the price of three dollars per ticket. The purchaser had the privilege of hearing the full year ' s lectures of either Dr. Torrey or Dr. Brown, depending upon which ticket he bought. Accordingly, in December, 1829, the first lecture courses were begun at the Medical College on Barclay Street. In 1831 the College awarded diplomas to its first three graduates. The history of these first few years is characterized by the continual changes in location of the College quarters. It is a history of the tireless efforts of a group of men who fought all sorts of adverse conditions but who were not to be daunted in their mutual desire to have an institution of learning for the pharmacist. It is now the year 1866. Our College is situated in a room at Xew York University. In this year Professor Chandler of the School of Mines of Colum- bia University was elected Professor of Chemistry, and in 1867 Dr. Rice was elected a Trustee. In 1869 Dr. Squibb offered his services free of charge as a lecturer in Pharmacy. Dr. Squibb was then an eminent authority in American i ' harmacy, especially concerning the manufacturing end. However, after two years, Dr. Squibb could not continue his interesting and instructive lectures be- cause of interference of this work with his many other pharmaceutical activities. Accordingly, he was elected an honorary member of the College in 1872. It was with the advent of these three men. Dr. Squibb, Professor Chandler and Pro- fessor Rice, that our College was put on the firm educational basis upon which it now rests. In 1871 the written examination system was adopted. Until then oral examinations were used, but these were found to be too uncertain for any appre- ciable number of students. It is interesting to note that the passing mark was 50% in each subject with a general average requirement of 60% . Not without reason do so many pine for the good old days. In 1878 the first real home of the College was purchased. It was Calvary Chapel on East Twenty-Third Street, which was immediately altered to be fit for the uses of the College. In 1888 Dr. Rusby gave a guest lecture at our Col- lege. Even at this early time Dr. Rusby was already an authority on Materia Medica. Thus, when in 1899 the then Professor of Materia Medica tendered his resignation. Dr. Rusby was unanimously chosen to fill the position — a position which brought out not only his sterling qualities as an educator, but also the un- limited bounds of his unselfish nature. Dr. Rusby has been from that time to this a leader of pharmacy in whom countless students have found a source of inspiration. In 1892 the grounds of our present College building at Sixty-eighth Street were purchased. In 1900 the Faculty decided to elect its first Dean. Dr. Rusby was unanimously chosen and held this distinguished position, as we know, until 1930. At the invitation of President Butler of Columbia University, in 1904. our College decided to become a part of the University. In 1905 the first Pharma- ceutical Chemist Degree was awarded, thus inaugurating a University Course. One Hundred Tiventu-eight = ° ° ° When, in 1911, Professor Coblentz resigned as Professor of Chemistry, the College had the good fortune of being able to obtain Dr. Anry to fill the position. During the years of the World War, the College cooperated with the government in every possible respect. A class of naval hospital apprentices were instructed at our College in 1917 so as to be more efficient as hospital assistants. In 1927 Professor Diekman retired as Professor of Pharmacy and Dr. Wimmer was selected for the position. When Dr. Rushy retired as Dean, Dr. Amy was appointed to the Deanship. Thus we see that our history consists of a procession of famous men, all contributing unselfishly to the success which our College of Pharmacy has now attained as a famous institute of learning.
