The greatest tribute that can ever be paid Pharmacy lies in its own history. The heritage which is now ours, having been zealously guarded from quackery and char- latanism since the earliest days of civiliza- tion, is a treasure which few other pro- fessions possess. It is with this knowledge and under- standing that we assume as a right our justifiably strong feeling of pride in our profession. May we ever cherish the Apothekan, 1933 and its record of the time spent at the Columbia University College of Phar- macy, the institution where our knowledge of Pharmacy and the great names connected with it was instilled into us. ft w) I -t m (tn SO C3CC=)CC=)C C =,.=30 1] IflllPlDnnHHEIKlBtlKl l _£ f -b H VyawiMty TT ft THE APOTHEKAN 19 3 3 ft PUBLISHED ANNUALLY by the GRADUATING CLASSES oj THE COLLEGE of PHARMACY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY New York City IliiL U.I l ll l 3:c=3:c=jce = -: j c , J Br g. = .= =3 B«J=io e= ,.=, a g -|l IBIIPIDIinHIIEIKlBlllllB C=„ I. IR ffv To n M w fVYi ft Twenty-five years ago, a young man joined the faculty of the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York as instructor in Materia Medica. His ambition was great, his industry perservering, his knowledge omniscient, his success deserving. Today after a quarter of a century of devotion to his Alma Mater he is rewarded with two signal honors: Chair- manship of his department, and possession of his full pro- fessorship. The graduating classes of 1933 are proud of the op- portunity to dedicate this record of their sojourn at the Columbia University College of Pharmacy to their beloved professor. to IUIL1IJII1I $ ..=i O =.c=Lo=or=, a g l|lRIIPl0nnHIIEIKIRIlKlfl . £ = ° „ if innilE r IT.

The ever- widening circle of acquaintances gained each year is indeed a source of happiness to me, especially as these friendships are the result of having worked together. If during our contact we have succeeded in creating that feeling of mutual understanding which leads to just and amicable dealing, we have both been educated in the full sense of the word. You have now received the book knowledge necessary for the practice of Pharmacy and it is my sincere hope that along with this you have acquired the type of knowledge exem- plified by toleration, uprightness and a real respect for your calling.

Amy. His clear presentation of facts, in combination with a cheery sense of humor, make his lectures more interesting than most. His friendly greeting and twinkling eyes make a chance meeting with him a source of joy. There is no need to make superfluous mention of either his scientific prestige or his scholarly erudition. Gilding the lily is always an excess. The graduates of 1933 are proud that they constitute the first class whose entire career was spent under the aegis of so great a man. V Sixteen c ,s ' A in w ft n m — -Jf4= H- W m ' if ' ' I ' ll ' It is impossible here, to fully express our appreciation of Dr. Curt P. Wimmer. The students of the graduating class of 1933 will forever remember with regret, the day they left one of its most loveable professors. As an inspiration for our suc- cess, we shall always be indebted to him. We point with pride toward his accomplishments and we bid Adieu with regret. iBiUlMI Seventeen OCS: $ k%S ,s ' y m tuanJ Iffi W H ft m w ft O C3D( °% n iriHNE U iBiipic nnmiE iKiFiwi 4 =,,, =H PHAHMACY LABORATORY p what more fitting and in what more humble a temple should we as future g Pharmacists bring our lowly endeavors to sacrifice? afc aal Like humble and groveling preverts, we enter our sanctimonious labora- tory. Awed by the bigness and unfamiliar with our new routine, we apply ourselves industriously to our appointed tasks. Slowly, as fledgelings that are making their first attempt in the navigation of the stratosphere, we spread our wings and assume the liberties that go with our class. Loud was the hubbub and many were the bursts of laughter that resounded from the black and grimy walls, as mistakes were made and apparatus broken. To this wide and spacious laboratory, materials were assembled from the four corners of the earth: materials that were mentioned and used in the Bible. Oils and gums that were used to annoint the mighty Pharaohs of Egypt, were brought and laid at the feet of the lowly scholar to mould and incorporate into exhilarating elixirs, germ-killing ungents or life-giving liquids. This miraculous conversion is witnessed by a laboratory that is in perfect concord with the sticky muck that goes into it. The situation of this laboratory in the building, with Chemistry above and Materia Medica below, is symbolic of the position of this science in our profession. Pharmacy embodies the knowledge gained from above and below — the vortex from which the other two radiate as indispensable adjuncts. That Chemistry enjoys a loftier niche in the realms of science, matters little to us or to our career. Pharmacy is paramount and increasing knowledge in either science serves only to strengthen this art.

OTANY Laboratory was the apotheosis of romance to us. Its dealings with the basic fundamentals of life added an immense stimulus to our interest in this work. The latent possibilities of each little growing plant, as they were revealed, quickened our imagination and appreciation of Nature ' s handicraft. Our first microscopic experience, with its candid revelations of the structure and basic peculiarities of each drug, was an awe inspiring spectacle. The perfection and exquisite logic of these specimens, was in the nature of a blow to Man ' s indomitable conceit. Man, the grubbing worm in all parts of the globe, provided us with these many examples of crude drugs. Ours was the relatively simple task of mastering their English and Latin nomenclature, as well as out-Sherlocking Sherlock Holmes in learn- ing to differentiate these drugs. Without a shadow of a doubt, Botany — a name applied to a gift of Nature, de- serves a large niche in the Hall of Fame for helping to keep alive that puny spark which keeps the human mechanism in motion.

Tj I ) Y difficult to believe that we have spent years here existing. As long as we JLjL adhered to the well-ordered routine, we had nothing to fear from the treach- ifcsffl erous acids and bases. This sound fundamental training, to the more imagina- tive, eventually may have become monotonous. The charm of a snow-white preci- pitate, under the constant text vivisection, may have quickly vanished. The neces- sity for this could never suffer equivocation. Knowledge came slowly but surely. It was impossible to dodge the instruction of our indefatigable mentors. Under the aegis of our edification, it was soon very easy to treat these chappies with contempt. Subordinates to our knowledge, they soon learned to do our bidding. Merely a few drops of one and a flocculence as azured as the sky: a few drops of another and the mysticism of the Orient would unfold before us. Then an excess of the precipitant and the intoxicating fragrance of a mid- summer night was brought to our senses. Mellowed by three years of erudition, past happenings can only be conjured with the most pleasant memories. The whimsical voice of Professor Schaefer will continue to boom over our spattering test tubes and whistling water baths. His sagacious advice and precautions, even when we have ceased to exist, and started to create, will not be forgotten. The time may come when one of us may disdain his admoni- tions and be blown to pieces. Another may inadvertently stumble on a precipitate that may mean fame, sempiternal.

' s , to the Ph. Ch. ' s and the B.S. group. You have climbed the toilsome paths of learning, and the summit of the Mountain of Aspiration is almost attained. Have the three or four years spent on Sixty-eighth Street been years of inspiration to you? For those who can honestly respond No , I am sorry. With those who can say Yes! , I rejoice. To some, study is a drudgery; to most, it is an honest accomplishment of a necessary task; to the favored few, it is a delight. Would that we teachers could make each student see the winsome charm of scientific knowledge: could transmit to the boys and girls of the Columbia University College of Pharmacy the enthusiasm that years of study have brought to us! Study, as I see it, possess a three-fold nature. It is a tool, the mastery of which brings to us certain material privileges. It is a mental discipline which sharpens our wits and strengthens the fibers of our brain. It is a royal privilege bringing rest and refreshment and invigoration to the soul. a w (vY| To only a fe w comes the three-fold blessing. To all of the graduates of 1933 will come at least the first of the three benefits. A graduate in pharmacy has rights and privileges not accorded the common run of mankind. In these days of depression, the privileges may seem painfully slight, but be of good cheer. Many of our graduates of the past century have been turned out upon an unpromising world. Thus the graduates of 1873 faced a period of great depression and yet this group of young men included Charles Holzhauer, Edward Runyon and Charles F. Schleussner, men who not only gave faithful service to their college in their years of maturity, but who also were eminently successful in their careers as practicing pharmacists. It is a great joy to note that two of these graduates of 1873 are still with us and will, we hope, be able to sit with us at our Commencement of 1933. imujiiii There would be no finer commencement gift for each graduate of 1933 than Dr. Wimmer ' s fine history of the College of Pharmacy. I would that each graduate read the story of one hundred years of useful service that has characterized our college; of the ' ups and downs of the institution; of the struggling days of 1829 to 1850: of those years 1850 and 1857 when we had no graduates at all; of the year 1858 when we had two graduates; albeit one of these, Peter W. Bradford, became in 1865 our Professor of Pharmacy, a post which he held with distinction until his death in 1892. I would that each graduate could trace the careers of the 8000 young men and women who have graduated from our college since 1829. The record in Dr. Wimmer ' s book reads like an abstract from Pharmacy ' s Hall of Fame. Yes!, good friends of the classes of 1933, the best is yet to be . If you but follow the examples of your distinguished predecessors, you also will be acclaimed worth} ' of the esteem in which your alma mater holds her elder children. H. V.

I remember, da-dum, da-dum, da-DUM. We Bgjjaa) cannot quote you any more than that, but the I remember part applies to this history. We have no source books, no references, no files; all we have is a faulty memory and a reminiscent mood. For instance, we remember a bright sunshiny (or maybe it was rainy) Tuesday morning in September. 1930. Some of us will remember. It was a Jewish holiday and most of us had to miss that first day in school. But if we all had attended, we ' re willing to wager that Mont and Seltzer would have been late. As usual, there was no work the first week or so, and we soon got to know the ropes . You know, such things as sleeping during Brownie ' s arithmetic lecture, and cutting Mac ' s after- noon classes in English and Government to go to the movies. Remember the time everyone cut except Schneider and Gioia, and Mac held a class for the two of them? And all the belly laughs we had! The time Jimmy Gross took a ride on the Ma id o! the Mis! in English: the time Kofsky asked Fanny Hart some question or other, and she bawled him out; the time Marie the Angel became angry at Wall} ' Seltzer when he showed her the theme he had written for English. We had elections that year some time in November. The results were: President. Pip Goldman: Vice-president, Morris Wackstein; Secretary, Libby Kupersmith: and Historian, Irv Burger. We are now Sophomores — ahem! Xew classes, new courses, work getting more and more interesting. Ich bin, du bist, er 1st. Dear old Uncle Louie. Do you remember how good a time Mont and Carol had? And Gioia always saying Ja-a-a-a . Plugging test tubes in bacteriology. Al Green ' s definition of a heifer. Harry Taub ' s puns in pharmacognosy. When do you take the orange? Before or after? Doc Carter ' s stories about the navy. Again in November, we become a sort of corporate body and elected Mario de Ortega to the presidency and Morris Wackstein to the vice-presidency, Libby Kuper- smith was Secretary and Ted Kucker was Historian. September and graduating year. The fearless look. The senior swagger. The casualness of exams. (Of course, Herbie Kassner would put the fear of flunking even into a Wackstein.) Bridge games in Botany Lab. Saturday afternoons off, and the trek to Loew ' s Lincoln Square (a dime before 1 o ' clock). Xew classmates, three of them. Pisari, Peisackowitz and Thomas. The best course in the school — Manufacturing Pharmacy. What ' s your yield? Got any aspirin to spare? Mine didn ' t come out. Broken condensers. Mont whitewashing the ceiling. Doc Carter ' s exams — fifty questions each. Back this year with Mac. How many different ways can nine people be arranged at a round table? Elections. The vicious political machine (it won some offices though). President, Dannv Mucelli: Vice-president, Bill Mende: Secretary, Libby Kupersmith: Historian, Wally Seltzer. Xow comes the months of hard study for our goal — a sheepskin. (Do you suppose they really use a sheep?) Graduation. Success.

In the center of the room stands a heavv table, ___ on which is a large crystal. As we enter in flowing robes, we notice a group ££5!| of young people seated around the table. They are present to have the future visualized for them. We sit down before the crystal, demand absolute silence, and peer into the depths of the ball. At first it is dim and hazy but the mist gradually clears. We can see a large laboratory. Two men are dancing around the room in a quite undignified manner. But Irv Burger and Joe Gabriel are not to be censured for this, as they have just synthesized a new substitute for gasoline. The scene fades. It is replaced by the psychopathic ward of a large hospital. There stands Mannie Geller, M.D., still savins. Aw g ' wan. you ' re crazy. Ah — there ' s Jimmy Gross. What! Getting married? And he used to be the fellow w-ho always said he wouldn ' t! Of course Xat Kessler is very much present as best man. A new scene. Look! The most notable friendly rivalry in Pharmacy. Both Roland Gioia and Bill Schneider own drug chains. All day long they battle one another, but at night they return to their homes in a Jersey suburb to play bridge with each other and their wives. And here ' s Pip Goldman, owner of the largest drug store on Long Island. Every summer he invites Senator Xat Lyons out for some fishing in Peconic Bay. From the depths of the foggy crystal appears Xew York. We have a glimpse of a large ocean liner. There ' s Milda Granberg leaving on another of her periodic jaunts to foreign lands. While in Xew York, we catch sight of another interesting pair. We can see AI Green writing a series of articles on drug store management for Mortar and Pestle, the largest pharmaceutical magazine of that future day. And who do you suppose is the editor and publisher? Why, none other than Ted Kucker. The scene grows faint. It is becoming difficult to see. But after some minutes it clears and we are able to observe Libby Kupersmith and Carol Pitocchi, happy with their husbands and children. And now Joe Lizio and Bill Mende come into the picture. The two handsomest men in college have lost nothing to the ravages of time. They are both looking fine and have the added dignity of maturity. The vision fades to show another. Mont, the old beaker-breaker, is alone in a lab running the last few titrations for his soon-to-be world-famous article on A Chemical Assay of Ergot . In a different lab. Mario Ortega has just discovered a cheap, practical method of synthesizing sugar — his life work. Also doing their bit for mankind are Jack Peisachowitz and Lou Pisari, the heads of the great pharma- ceutical manufacturing firm bearing their name. The crystal appears in sharp focus. A brilliantly lighted convention hall is filled with men whose names are famous in Pharmacy. In one corner of the hall we can see Jimmy Thomas. Dean of Columbia Pharmacy, telling a group of young instruc- tors about the good old days when he was a student. In another corner, Danny Mucelli. the man of a thousand girl friends, is entertaining the wives of these same instructors. But what is the purpose of the convention? Ah, we see.

Dame Knowledge. In addition to this fine array of talent, two shining lights, C. Medford Cooper and Abraham Glockner, from the Albany College of Pharmacy, also enrolled, to make our roster complete. For eight weeks under the able guidance of Professor H. C. Kassner, the class absorbed the fine points of inorganic quantitative analysis. This process of absorp- tion was made easier through the competent assistance of Miss Dimler and Mr. Lieberman. Here also took place that annual classic, the election for class officers. When the returns were summed up, it was found that Johnson B. Givens was our president; Enrico Zilliotto, vice-president; John Armao, secretary; and your in- formant, class historian. Then followed a pleasant sojourn with our distinguished Dean, where the analysis of various foodstuffs and the isolation of organic and inorganic poisons were carried out. We also discovered that water was not merely hydrogen dioxide. Following this, we moved upstairs to the pharmacy laboratory where Doctor Wimmer conducted us through a course in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biological assaying. Here Professor Carter and Mr. Hauck gained enough affection to earn the titles of favorite professor and most popular instructor, respectively. We brought the year to a close in a blaze of glory with the Professors Ballard and Taub striving to acquaint us with applied pharmacognosy and botanical taxonomy. Their efforts were not in vain, I hope. In addition to these laboratory courses, we were benefitted by a series of discus- sions in human physiology under the efficient tutelage of the erudite Dr. Hopping. The principles of biochemistry via a series of lectures were administered to us, Professor Karshan presiding. And lastly came that acid test. Can we take it? Well, we had to take it and plenty of it. It, in this case v as the sharp criticism and intensive cross-examination of our alert fellow-classmates during Professor Ballard ' s weekly hour in bibliography. However, not only did we excel! scholastically, but we proved ourselves quite capable in other fields. The class was well represented on the wrestling team, the chess club, the glee club, the fraternities, and other student organizations. Thus did this class, which Dean Amy termed the cleverest with which he has ever had contact with, conduct itself. To my mind, the most conspicuous of all its characteristics was that fraternal, congenial, harmonious feeling which existed among its members. Do you wonder that we dread the advent of the 6th of June, when we sixteen Bachelors of Science will depart from these portals, never again to assemble as an unit? Robert R.

Whereupon, having gone through the necessary intricate pre- liminary preparations, we have been able to look into the far-off future. It is only with the utmost concentration and painstaking patience that we can interpret those uncanny workings of the prophetic vision. Consequently, your utmost atten- tion, undivided and uncorrupted, is essential; to say nothing of absolute silence. The first one who comes into view is Harry Isacoff, the perennial bachelor. Having wasted his youth on study, he was gray when he declared a holiday. But no gal wants a gray beard, for only blue will do. And so the vision fades, to show another That of Sid Silver, a picture of beaming corpulence. Being President of the A. Ph. A., he ' s a very busy man, but you can always get him to take time off for a rubber of bridge. I wonder w 7 hat ' s become of his side-kick, Bert? In the field of chemistry he is considered among those in the know ' . Has a chair in Comparative Monotony at Boring University. Givens now takes the stage. He is seen hiding behind a graying Van Dyke admonishing the younger generation not to sing doleful ditties of shady respute. He does not add, however, When I was young . Xow for the old scientist, Medford Cooper. Doing research as a renowned microanalyst on the minimum toxic dose of arsenic to flies. This study is second only to his work on broken condensors from Kjeldahl necks. I smell a rat! Ah-ha, Sleuth D ' Orazio is seen receiving the Congressional Medal from Moscow for his unexcelled e ' Tat icators, which have made the world safe for technoc rat s and other rodents. Bo} ' , Oh, Boy. This guy Brown, Reggie f or short, hasn ' t changed a bit. Just dozing peacefully in his chauffeur-driven Cadillac. Who ' d think that he is the originator of the latest theory of ionization? And who ' s that with a beaming smile? If it isn ' t Glockner, the boy from Albany. Laboring under that handicap, he ' s made good. He no longer is a fugitive from a chain store: he ' s a slave to one. He owns it. We now cross the river to Newark, there to see our pal Bill. He ' s still a good old soul: but makes his money from heels. Yep, the inventor of the wearever heel. And now we meet the man who put Bethel on the map. Xone other than Chris Wight. Those two years in Germany gave him that pretty blonde companion you see him with most of the time. Pop time has been kind to both of them. The horizon is clouded. Xo. just a smoke screen. Ah. it is clearing. Well, well! Johnny Armao. still hiding behind a big fat stogie. Yes, he found prosperity around the Corona. Called the Little Xapoleon of cosmetics. His name is on the lips of every maid in this country. Ben Sher now comes into the picture. Designated as the handsomest boy in college twenty-five years ago, his beauty has not waned. His looks and his magnetic influence with the fair sex have made him famous as Broadway ' s only worthy producer of the more sophisticated revue. The crystal is slowly fading but we make out Yiggy. He ' s a little older, but is a lot more wiser. His name is high in the annals of botany for his uncanny discoveries of methods of wringing tears from onions and allied subjects. The crystal fades just as we get a glimpse of Zilly, but we are able to see that the Fates are kind to him. We regret that in certain cases visions have been hidden and unclear. It has been impossible — even for us — to fathom these clouds, but in all those obscure cases we can assure the individual that, if all goes well, the future will be bright. H. H. R. R.

It was Tuesday, the ?3rd of the month in the year 1030. Legally and hfctorcal ' v this date is of no significance to cause any excitement or merit celebration. But to the Class of 1933 it will stand forth, like a guiding torch on a stormy night, as the day on which we solemnly pursued the studies of the sacred annals of Pharmaceutical Wisdom — the day we dedicated our lives to serve humanity as the years unfold. It was with such a feeling, that the class of 35 assembled in the Lecture Hall at 9:00 A.M. Dr.- Amy, our Dean, introduced himself to the class and officially welcomed us into the portals of Columbia University, College of Pharmacy, which, incidentally, marked the opening of the One Hundred and First Session. In no less than a few weeks, we ascertained the many routines which our college had in store for us. To many who had no pharmaceutical experience whatever, all seemed hopeless, obscure and unsurmountable. It was entirely a new experiment. We were bombarded on every side with terms which were miraculously transformed into visionary creatures to haunt us continuously. Some time later, when we had grown in a more intimate contact with one another, election of class officers was at hand. They were contested enthusiastically, as each prospective candidate in question ran to and fro, like an escaped hat in a storm, endeavoring to gather votes by displaying his or her unusual characteristics to all those whose attentions were not otherwise diverted. When the curtain rose, the following men were victorious: President Vice-president Secretary Historian ..Mack Red Homer -Samuel Gzibeck Martin Maxken —Anthony Yalenti Our first exams proved a sad experience to many and as a result, we pledged mutually to cram more intensively at subsequent examinations. The Christmas holidays, which began December 22nd, and lasted to January 2nd, 1931, were greeted heartily by students and members of the faculty alike. As all diversions, the holiday eventually terminated and we resumed our activities once more at C. U. C. P. Although mid-year examinations proved difficult, nevertheless to our utmost astonishment we passed satisfactorily. Actually how? — we are still at a loss to explain. Following our exams, the class held its Dance at the Pythian Temple. It was indeed a glamorous, spectacular affair. Many celebrities were present including representatives from our stately faculty, the alumni and various fraternities. Final examinations took place soon after. It is needless to say we studied conscientiously the night before. In fact we still recall those sleepy worn-out eyes that stalked the respective rooms eager to do or die. With all the efforts available, we took our final examinations in a moody atmosphere. The last of the exams marked the termination of our first year of work. We took, leave of our newly acquired friends and returned to our respective homes to greet the on-coming summer. CHAPTER II With approaching Fall, again came the call to knowledge. Neophytic pharmacists, the country over, began converging upon the points of their scholastic interests, C. U. C. P. Regis- tration over, we began reconnoitenng the hallways, rediscovering rooms, meeting friends, and verbally reliving the activities of the past summer. Almost before we were aware of the passage of the first six weeks, nominations for class officers were at hand. The nominations presented no difficulty and aroused little unusual interest, but the elections were contested with the vehemence of a national campaign. When the smoke had cleared, the following deserving officers had been selected: President __ _ Hyman Cohen Vice-president _ _.__ Arthur Fisher Secretary __ ___ „ Harry Goodkin Historian _ _ Louis L. Gvberman St udent Council - Joe Bolovgh ' Mi : ' . Sixty-eight — — i i— -inr— m (m M ft « ft . ° - n iriwiE 2 -= 3fl | iHiipmnrHiiEiKiBiiiii l f. Following the elections, mid-semester examinations caucht us unprepared, as usual. The brief pause for the Thanksgiving recess, gave us ample time to condemn ourselves for the lack of study. Two weeks later, we jubilantly emigrated to our homes for a real vacation, determined that our New Year ' s resolution would be to study faithfully and intensively. The first day of school in 1932, we found to be very dull comparative to the excitement which prevailed the two weeks that had just passed. However, before we had completely shaken ourselves from the lethargy following Xew Year ' s celebration, we were confronted with our mid- year exams. We awoke with a shock, as if a stimulus had been administered, and began cram- ming that which we had so indifferently postponed. Examinations, like all catastrophes, pass and arc forgotten. When interminable weeks had passed and the Books began drifting slowly back to their conscientious composers, the burdening worries had lifted. All that remained was the peculiar keen sense of justice which every college student miraculously develops whenever the marking of examination papers are discussed. The passing of mid-semester examinations was incidental and with it came the solemn fatherly advice from the faculty that Now is the time to prepare oneself for the finals. We agreed most heartily and that is as far as it went. With parties, games, dances and various other extra- curricular activities, we soon lost ourselves amidst, and our beloved Pharmacology, Chemistry, Physiology and Pharmacy were left far, far in the rear. Nevertheless, final exams, which are necessary evils , were not far off. It would be splendid it seems to us, if it were possible to take our examinations in pill form. Say, for instance, ' that instead of writing three hours of words, just words in Microbiology, we stepped into the office of Professor Hart and received Hart ' s Homeopathics numbers 59 and 60. The temperature and pulse recorded, our grades would then be based on the subsequent reaction. In the case of ' ' Chemistry Pills , a reconstruction of the entire building would necessitate in that the strain of walking up six flights of stairs would be too much for the average student. Unfortunately, we are in tears, such pills are not available as yet. So, with a heavy heart, we took our exams blindfolded. Saturday, after the final massacre, we held our Gala affair. The day was doubly joyous in that the rtmoval of the iirmending suspence of the final erades had been removed. The dance was held at the Essex House in Central Park, Xew York City. The night was long, the music superb and the ladies, ah the ladies, more beautiful than ever. It is almost superfluous to add. that everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly. So, when the orchestra wearily unfolded the overture of Home Sweet Home , we bid our friends adieu and. having reached the climax of a happy year with a most blissful and memorable evening, we departed for our respective destinations to begin a well deserved vacation. CHAPTER III On the most ideal day of an early September morn, we assembled once more before the impressive yet simplicit portals of C. U. C. P. There was an unusually enthusiastic crowd that formed into small groups, each eagerly hoping to meet and welcome his old friends again. In short, joy was the password. Precisely at 9:00 A.M., the bell heralded the end of the commotion and with a feeling of gladne ss, mingled with an attitude of maturity, we solemnly entered the Lecture Hall and took our respective seats. We were now Seniors. October rolled around and with it, as usual, came nominations and elections. After the same confusion and excitement which prevailed the twa previous years, the ballots disclosed that the following men were honored: President Vice-president Secretary Historian . Abe Mazlish _ Raphie Rosexblatt Irving Gammer ._. louis l. gvbermax Shortly afterwards our Student Council was reorganized, at which time Dean Dr. Amy was the genial host at a dinner. Hy Cohen was then chosen chairman of the Student Activity Committee. Toward the latter part on the month, a meeting was held and an editorial staff was selected to continue editing the Pharmakon, students ' publication. Here, once more, talented Senior class r-Iayed an important role. The staff selected, consisted essentially of the following seniors: Louis L. Guberman, Editor-in-Chief; Hy Cohen, Associate Editor; George Dobruskin, Fraternity; Joe Eologh, Business Manager; Yolanda Mariani, whose work certainly merits recognition, Humor Editor and Irving Stack of our Literary Staff. The success of the Pharmakon was primarily due to the cooperation of students and the faculty alike. To such distinguished personages as Dr. Amy, Dr. Wimmer, Mr. Chevalier and others who have been frequent contributors, we acknowl- edge their generous spirit, too often hidden ' neath a modest exterior and we shall cherish their timely influence and efforts which they rendered so willingly.

No sooner were we relieved from them when news reached us that Irving Stack was selected as editor of the Apothekan, the senior publication. To those who comprise the staff, we owe our deepest gratitude. The Christmas holidays, which began on December 20th, 1932 and lasted through January 3, 1933 inclusive, was greeted with hilarious acclaim by all. To students and members of the faculty, it meant a change of pace from the usual routine. It is superfluous to add that all made the most of the opportunity, even our Class Cynosiue Rip G — ■ , who slept for consecutive days. On January 4th of the New Year, sessions were resumed at C. U. C. P., and we returned eagerly, to give all we had for the last stand in our face. Mid-year examinations closed in and struck us like a tornado. For two weeks we were lost in our work. But when the fog had lifted, we were once more ourselves. Then the Annual Senior Prom was held at the Hotel New Yorker, May 20, 1933, in colla- boration with the Alumni and 2nd year class. The splendor of the evening will no doubt live long in the memories of those who participated. Proud seniors in full dress array, were seen strutting with their gay senoritas, likewise dressed in the most picturesque evening gowns, which certainly fitted the occasion. The college was well represented by the faculty members, friends, and many other celebrities. The Prom reached its climax at 1:00 A.M., and thereafter the crowd diminished gradually, some going to cabarets while others to various other destinations. And so the most successful Senior Prom came to a close, joining the countless others of yesterday. The passing of our gala affair brought us a notch closer to our realms. March found us once more tackling exams. As they were merely mid-semester, they came and went without any further excitement. April sped with the usual rapidity of a comet in flight, before we even realized that our finals w-ere not far off. Suddenly, as if wakening from deep slumber, we began intensive study. Pages of notes, filled to capacity began to dance before our feverish eyes. The nights were long and tedious with the subsequent consumption of midnight oil. Old formulas of Chemistry and Pharmacy were dug up and memorized. At school, at home, even in our dreams we were pursued by scientific terms. In short, everything within us was in a state of chaos. Finally, examinations arrived. We took them audaciously, we had no other alternative, and when the last was dispensed with, we rose in body and offered a sigh of relief. Several days later, our sighs w 7 ere answered when Mr. Simpson, our Registrar, informed us that we had passed successfully. A long awaited dream, fully matured in all its majesty, had at last materialized— Graduates in Pharmacy with a degree of Ph.G. On Thursday, May 25, 1933, the Commencement exercises were held at McMillen Theatre The place was jammed to capacity by both parents and members of the graduating class. It was indeed a most awe-inspiring affair, as was evidenced by the solemn atmosphere which prevailed. After some preliminary speeches, which were delivered by several members of the faculty, prizes for various achievements, scholarship and activities were awarded to the distinguished members of the class. This was followed by the long procession of the graduating class to the center of the platform, where each individual, after having been congratulated, received his or her diploma. The feeling was one of acute joy, mingled at the same time with an unusual ex- pression of sadness. Amidst all the solemnity which now encircled us, the goal, which we had striven for all these years, culminated glamorously and most satisfactorily. Yet the mere thought of leaving our steadfast friendships that knitted us together all these hectic years of our college life, the thought of bidding farewell to associates whom we had grown to love, was indeed a bitter pill to swallow. Commencement came and was gone — the passing of a silver cloud tinted with all the hues of the rainbow before the glorious sun. The class of ' 33, scattering to the four corners of the world, has joined the infinite procession of Time. Whether these years have been a waste of time or a valuable asset, is a question that time alone will endeavor to prove. Let it suffice to note, that the environment and the contacts of these past years at C. U. C. P., surrounded by a no less stately faculty, must surely have contributed to our personalities to enable us to go forward. And then the earth wakes from its slumber, And. like a frightened child, disturbed by some nightmare, All human forms frown and swarm in countless numbers, Where, with the rising sun, Nature ' s gift they share. And may you always find joy in your work And bliss and plenty in Life. Louis L.

You can make your visions come true. You are venturing forth into the world — Standing on your own two feet. Watch your footsteps — don ' t let them stumble. Brush aside the obstacles which may comfort you; And never looking back, never faltering in your decisions, See the goal which you have set for yourself grow near, Never stopping until you have reached your peak of success.

The thirty-five candidates that re- %myt| ported, was a gratifying response from the entire student body. There re- mained from last year ' s team a nucleus consisting of three first team regulars and two first string substitutes. w) « The squad, under the most capable leadership of Coach William Laub, who himself was one of the most brilliant basketball players to be developed at Columbia University, was put through strenuous drills which consisted of signal practice, play formation and the interpretation of the new intercollegiate basketball rulings. Session after session was held before a smooth running combination, grounded in the art of coordination, was selected that would do justice to the name of our school. In addition to the regular game with the Alumni, the schedule consisted of the following members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League; Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the Rutgers College of Pharmacy. In addition there were Upsala College, Cathedral College, Seth Low Junior College of Columbia University, Long Island University and the College of the City of New York, School of Commerce. M ft Under the capable supervision of Professor H. Carter and Mr. J. Miale, the financial business of the team was amply cared for. The team also desires to express its appreciation for the work accomplished by the managerial staff consisting of Nat Lyons who was assisted by Julius Levine and Fred Sands. ft itfiqip ' fef Eighty y.

The reason for this, is that the team is making great headway and is winning most of its matches. As we all know, this is the most colorful of our extra-curricular activities and although badly handicapped by a lack of material and proper training facilities, the team has given a good account of itself. Much of this credit for the success of the team, may be rightfully given to the expert and capable coaching of Mr. Fanelli. the Little Giant as he is lovingly nicknamed. He in turn was greatly aided by the enthusiasm of both Manager William Hoeler and Captain Elias Fish, the ' ' Tim Londos of C. U. C. P. . However the enthusiasm of the spectators in no way surpassed that of the members of the team. Led by our capable captain and capable manager, the team was selected from the three classes attending the College. Coach Fanelli regrets but one thing and that is the fact that many of the members of the present squad will graduate this fall. i n M M fi „ Eighty-two ' k e , S J ?T n tin to m •Syt ,g ||lBIIPIOnriH IEIKIRtllll CHEE LEADING SQUAD X AN activity where there are leaders, there must be those whose duty it is to keep high the general student morale. With this aim, a squad of cheer-leaders was organized by Dr. Herman J. Amsterdam. They have since practiced diligently upon cheers and gestures; and from every rumor, we gather that a very dextrous group of cheer-leaders will call the signals for the mass formations of the student body.

The new officers — Dora Birn- jggjjj)) baum, president; Eleanor Dorr, vice-president: Ida Siegel, secretary: and Charlotte Samuels, treasurer — were installed amid a grand celebration in Greenwich Village. The social season was started with a Bridge given by four sorors at the Hotel Westover. A welcome party was given to the Freshman women of the school. Following this party were several rush affairs. December 23 saw the Freshmen pledged after a delightful dinner at the Pepper Pot. The gala event of the year took place on February 25. The event was the annual formal Dinner-Dance which was held in the Viennese Room of the Hotel Westover. A very fine orchestra was engaged for the occasion and the chef of the Hotel prepared a host of delicacies that made all mouths water. The sorority has seen much progress in business matters. A new constitution and set of By-Laws have been drawn up and are now in force. The sorors in college at the present are Charlotte Samuels, Ida Siegel, Ruth Whipple: Gertrude Rudnick having left for the University of California. The pledgees, who were initiated February 19, include Miriam Coller, Mildred Block, Gazella V. Buchberg, Mary Orzano, Ella Wohlman. Three new honorary members were added to the list. They are Mrs. Ballard, Mrs. Diekman and Miss E. Kerker. Mrs. Amy, Mrs. Rusby, Mrs. Wimmer and Professor Hart have been honorary members for some time. ft As for the new year — well! — here ' s hoping Miss Prosperity decides to join the sorority.

Alpha Zeta Omega was kSSbI first organized at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science as the ' ' Dead Man ' s Club , which was the nucleus of the strongest Pharmaceutical Fraternity of its kind. This nucleus, consisting of twelve 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 rewarded. Some of the outstanding activities of the season have been our Smoker at the Hotel Taft on November 29, 1932, at which Doctors Rosenthal and Posner demonstrated some of the newer diagnostic tests. The semi-annual dance was held at the Hotel Plaza, January 16, 1933, at which the graduates and faculty were well represented. The members of the school are quite active and their achieve- ments numerous.

Fanelli. Every honor bestowed by the students upon the organization is one bestowed upon its founder, Mr. Fanelli. It is also a pleasure to read the list of those honorary faculty members who act as guides to the students of our organization. Dr. Curt P. Wimmer was selected last year as the faculty member to be honored by the Circle. It tendered to his honor a dinner and dance. It was attended by all the members of the Circle and their many friends. After the banquet the members went on to the dance. Xo doubt they all went home with the knowledge that they had honored one of the leading men in pharmacy, and that, in later years, they would look back and say that Professor Wimmer was their leader both in scholastic and fraternal matters. As in past years, the Dante Circle has added to its roster a number of select students. As is usual, these students were put through the rituals of initiation, much to the amusement of the members and the general embarrassment of the initiates. Because of stressing times, the social activities of the Dante Circle have been comparatively few in number. Those that we did have were truly enjoyable and wonderful affairs. We are, at the moment, looking forward to the gala event of the vear, the annual Dinner-Dance. HfiLUjtat We soon must say farewell to some of our members who leave us not to return, and to the remainder we promise that in the coming years we will be striving harder than ever to insure fraternalism among the members of our organization.

Its purpose was to s £pl create a closer bond of friendship between its members and to further the high ideals which they held in common. Increasing in size and in strength, the climax was reached when the organization was recognized by the college as the Alpha Chapter of a new fraternity, namely, Delta Sigma Theta. Having such meritorious fundamental ideals as the furthering of the brotherhood and equality of man, religious liberty and tolerance, and the elevation of the Phar- maceutical and allied professions, the fraternity grew and prospered. Another factor which aided in its development, is the fact that Delta Sigma Theta is a non- sectarian brotherhood. In addition, being essentially a fraternity of Pharmacy and allied professions, it strives to unite more closely the Pharmacist, the Doctor and the Dentist. With Alpha chapter permanently established at the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, it was not long before other chapters were established at leading colleges of Phar- macy, Medicine and Dentistry throughout this country. This year, as in previous years, the work of Delta Sigma Theta men, on tiehalf of the school and its activities, won for them the esteem and respect of both students and faculty alike. In tribute of their work, Delta Sigma Theta men were chosen to lead most of the school ' s activities. Some of the most noteworthy accomplish- ments were the election of Hy Cohen as President of the Student Council, the election of Noah Cohen as President of the second year class and Vice-president of the Student Council, and the appointment of Irving Stack as Editor-in-Chief of the Apothekan. On Monday evening, November 14, 1932, the Taft room of the Hotel Taft was jammed to capacity by fraters and their guests who were attending the annual Fall Smoker of Delta Chapter, Delta Sigma Theta. Young ' s Restaurant was the scene of a Dinner and Dance held on November 25, 1932, which was the forerunner of many other highly successful social and scientific affairs held during the year. Some of our more prominent fraters who delivered very interesting lectures to the Fraternity at their scientific meetings were: Mr. V. Lewitus, Mr. H. J. Amsterdam, Dr. H. Goodman. Dr. C. N. Gelber, Prof. A. Taub, Prof. H. Taub and Dr. Leuttinger. One of the highlights of the year, was the annual Dance held in conjunction with Kappa Chapter of the Long Island College Hospital at the Hotel St. George on March 24, 1933. ■Q0C3 C3 C=1I Ninety-two % f Br ft « % ft TriMhE l| lBIIPlDli rHllEIKlgt!IJlJ •- - H- ' pwy tf.i f ft !. 1  ttl s , I t ,t Iff. l I 5 ' t r •■; 5!r« J ' V 1 A ft Aze Ben Segal .... .

Since that time the record of the Fraternity has been an enviable one. During the forty-four years of its existence it has been characterized by the spirit of good fellow- ship and fraternal service that is so essential to any group. The activities of the season were inaugurated by the annual smoker held Novem- ber 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 side- lights 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. n a w v)l ¥ M ' •fc -$ ' X in sty -four ?0c , J 1 H ft m So . : - 5 oOo „ vf iriwiE V IflliPIOIlTHlEIKlPIIUI 4 fo= 5 «=o w f ft W K OFFICERS M Christian Wight Henry Walter _ William Ya Dean Floyd Haff Regent .Vice-Regent Treasurer Secretary ft William Murrav Dr. George Diekman Fratres in Collegio James Thomas Fratres Honorares Dr. H.

Under the guidance of the new administration — consisting of President Albert S. Felberbaum, Vice-president Sidney G.

The first meeting on Thursday at 1:30, was set aside solely for freshman students; the second, on Friday, for the other classes of the school. This plan enabled us to have a larger membership than in former years. The informal lectures by guest speakers seem to have been accepted more en- thusiastically this year by the student body than in previous years. Well, no wonder! Everyone enjoys listening to speakers who are as interesting as Dr. Amy, our beloved dean and Dr. Reverend D. De Sola Pool, whose deep bass voice thrilled many of our listeners. Of course, we must not forget The Taubs . They always seem to add the necessary flavor to any occasion, especially one where they have an oppor- tunity to use their wit and humor. Professor Dorfman, Air. Kaye, Reverend Gold- stein, and various students added their interesting talks for the complete enjoyment of the membership. The topics discussed were various, ranging from the sciences to studies of Jewry and world-important current topics. The attempt to publish a Menorah paper was quite successful. The Menorah Candle , as the paper is called, has for its motto Let there be light . The two issues that have already been published have had contributions from Dean Amy, Professor Dorfman, and the officers of the society. A new and larger paper with more material is being contemplated at this writing. Everyone is invited to send in contributions. a n ft The social end of the activities was quite as successful as the business. A Chanukah party was given in collaboration with the Inter-fraternal Menorah Society on De- cember 28. Several more of these socials are to follow in the near future. HflLI.IM|l In view of these facts, it can truthfully be said that the Menorah Society of the Columbia University College of Pharmacy reports progress .

Since the founding of Gamma Chapter, twenty-nine more chapters have been added to the rolls. September found the active chapter progressing rapidly and zealously with the plans formulated last year. A very successful smoker was held November 10, 1932; at which a large number of pledgees were obtained for the chapter. The initiation held in February was successful in that it gave us a few more brothers for the roster.

They saw themselves united by firm, indissoluble bonds of fraternalism, svvote 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, thev would seek to ennoble each other ' s lives. In harmony with this aesthetic conception there de- veloped as an objective an earnest desire to carry on 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 pheno- menal 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 another 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. Trembling on the brink of the unknown, these find courage 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, 1933. Smoker held at John Jay Hall, attended by Prof. A.

(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 most recent activities of the society have included trips during the Christmas vacation to the Colgate and Squibb 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. Arny, Dr. Ballard, Dr. Carter, Dr. Schaeffer, Prof. A. Taub, and Prof. H. Taub— who have honored the society with their delightful and interesting talks. The student members have delivered talks before the society on such topics as Pigments , Sugar Industry , Electrometric Titration , Ultra-Violet Radiation , Coffee Industry , and Dyna- mite , 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 advisers — Dr. Arny, Dr. Kassner, Prof. A. Taub and Mr. Liberman — for their efforts and active co-operation, the society can proudly say that it has lived up to its purpose and ideals.

U. C. P. students under the leadership of Chauncey Ingram, and with gg] Ihe guidance of Alpha chapter at N. Y. U. Gamma immediately became active in C. U. C. P. affairs. The names of the fratres of Sigma Tau Epsilon have annually appeared on the Honor Roll, shared the honors and responsibilities of Class and Society offices, and have generally been the mainstay of the Class of the College, sponsoring the right, and fighting the overzealousness of any movement contrary to the high principles of the Fraternity and of Pharmacy. Early in the history of the Fraternity Professor Jacob S. Dorfman was elected as an honorary member of Sigma Tau Epsilon, and much of the progress of the Frater- nity is due to his excellent advice and guidance. Shortly afterward Professor Abraham Taub and then Mister Saul Kaye were elected to the same honorary positions. Sigma Tau Epsilon is proud of its honorary members, and happy to be able to credit so much of the high ethical standards of the Fraternity, and our school popularity to their efforts. The membership of Sigma Tau Epsilon has greatly increased in the last few years. Our careful selection has done much to increase the number of our activities during the past years. During the past year Sigma Tau Epsilon has sponsored a number of social affairs, starting with a Smoker at John Jay Hall on Columbia University Campus early in November. Several parties followed, the most successful of. which was the one given Thanksgiving Eve. Several initiations were held in the months of January and February, and the spring parties at the Frat House were climaxed by a Dinner-Dance at a prominent mid-town hotel. Some of the most noteworthy undergraduates of the past two years are: Ephroim Rabinowitz of the Menorah and Rice Chemical Societies, Sam Kirschenbaum of the Menorah and Rice Chemical Societies and the Honor Roll, Jack Glasner of the Menorah Society and the Honor Roll, George Dubroskin of the Pharmakon and the Apothekan, Sidney G. Levine of the Menorah and Rice Chemical Societies, Alfred S. Felberbaum of the Menorah and Rice Chemical Societies, and many others who took parts in those invisible but necessary duties of the class of C. U. C. P. Our graduate members hold offices in many City and County Pharmaceutical Societies, and important positions in the laboratories of Lilly, Macy, and Pomroy.

Y. in the year of 1920. g With this nucleus new chapters were quicky formed in the leading colleges MzM of Xew York State, Delta being formed in 1926. The object of T. D. II. is to perpetuate the friendships and relationships arising from the course of study at C. U. C. P. Besides a high scholastic standing, a man ' s interest in college affairs and his promise for future work are taken into consideration before he is initiated into this fraternity. In 1929 T. D. M., approaching its tenth birthday, showed evidence of ever in- creasing strength in all respects. Delta chapter of C. U. C. P. started its social activities with a smoker at Pythian Temple, followed by a Convention Dance at the Hotel Astor. A Xew Year ' s Eve celebration and a Spring Affair at the Village Black Cat followed. These activities were climaxed by a boat ride which brought the season to a close. In 1930 T. D. M. celebrated C. U. C. P. ' s centennial and raised the social and cultural standards of the fraternity. Activities began with a gala smoker, followed by a Convention Dance at the Hotel Astor, bi-monthly parties at various fratres ' homes, and a spring affair held at the Hollywood Restaurant which will long remain in the memories of the fraters. The social season closed with a boat ride up the Hudson. The year 1931 ushered in the new officers and an excuse for a Banquet held at the Pythian Temple. This was followed by that unforgettable Hallowe ' en party a t which, for the first time, fraternity movies were shown. Following was a Testimonial Dinner and Dance given at the Rainbow Inn in the honor of Delta ' s married fraters. This was followed by the Convention Dance and Xew Year ' s Eve celebration. Bi- monthly parties relieved the suspense of waiting for the bigger affairs. The annual boat ride closed our social season. Delta started ' the year of 1932 with its annual smoker, followed by the usual New Year ' s Eve celebration. The Convention Smoker held at the City College Club was a huge success, as was the Convention Dance. These affairs were followed by a Bridge Dance at the Hotel St. George. « 0.

During slp the first year, application was made for recognition by the Columbia Uni- versity College of Pharmacy. After a year of probation, the Maimon Society was given recognition by the school. Mr. S. Kaye was chosen as faculty adviser. The name Maimon was taken from the name of Maimonides, the great Jewish doctor, philosopher, and alchemist of the middle ages. Since the formation of the Society, various affairs have been held, such as boat rides, dances, and dinner dances. The Maimon Society interests itself in the Dramatic Society year by year. The present active members consist of Morris Weinstein, president graduate; Max Wolff, vice-president; Eli Cohen, Secretary and Treasurer, and also other third and second year men.

Tn tracing its history, we find Alexander S. Fisher achieving a literary reputation as the first Editor of the P iarmacon. During that year, several issues were published and were received with jubilant acclaim by the students as well as the members of the faculty. It was indeed a triumphant experiment. The fiscal year of 1931-1932 found the Pharmacol! under the management of Harry F. Rosenberg. The experiment continued to function in spite of financial difficulties which had arisen at this time. Nevertheless, issues were published throughout the entire year. The year 1932-1933 revealed Louis L. Guberman as the new editor. With a newly selected staff, representing our respective classes, we assumed our duties and began earnestly the work which was left by the last administration. Although we met with some financial difficulties, our sincere efforts enabled us to overcome them. Our success was primarily due to the enthusiastic support we received, both from the student body and our faculty. As a result, numerous issues have been in circulation. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to Dr. Wimmer and Dr. Amy, who have been frequent contributors. To Mr. Chevalier, we gratefully acknowledge our thanks for his untiring efforts and timely advise toward the successful year we have had. To all others, who have aided materially in any way and have escaped our notice, we offer our most sincere acknowledgments accompanied with many regrets for such a lack of notice.  s v 1 9 M ti ftUlMI 4f One Hundred Ten , s ' o = il m =.,c=o fl milPlDITTlHUEIKIRIIIIlfl — Jf  % §- i ft PHABMACON STAFF Louis L.

Throughout the manufacture of this book they were faced by the spectre of a deficit, but through the kindness of the Ford Motor Company, they were able to cancel their orders for Lincolns and purchase Fords instead. This fearful blow was tempered by the knowledge that the rebate received would enable them to pay garage rent long after they had parted company with the Apothckan and its elastic expense account.

Think of the men of wisdom and prestige who have appeared before us to give eagerly of their learning, the result of many years of thought and study. Re- member our eagerness to absorb the gems of knowledge falling from the lips of a faculty unique for its accomplishments and achievement in its chosen profession. Such preceptors as Dr. Rusby. who shines like a polar star in the firmament of our faculty; Dr. Wimmer, with his kindly and winning personality: Dr. Schaeffer, who does not permit the exactitudes of his chosen work and his inborn thoroughness to obscure the more human qualities of humor and understanding: Dr. Ballard, with his worldly and knowing smile; Professor Hart, who lectures unassisted by the gentle goads of notes; and Dean Arny, whose modest and homely presentation would little have one suppose that he holds so prominent a position in the field of scientific endeavor. Such names as these will provide ample material for reminiscence when, during the serious battle of life, we take a few moments to draw upon the memories of our carefree moments in the lecture hall. Should we reach a position of creative accom- plishment in the scientific world, we shall not forget that the teachings of our instructors have acted like a fertilizing on the ovum of our thought .

It was such a group as this that, a ssay in the year 1829, met to further the advancement of the science of Pharmacy. From that first matriculation, up to and through the present class of 1933, the standards of a licensed pharmacist, as to character and training, has increased by leaps and bounds. No longer may any able-bodied seaman, marooned upon Terra Firma, open Ye Olde Drug Shoppe to specialize in foreign drugs and remedies. Today a Pharmacist is a person who is a graduate of a specific scientific course which requires a certain standard of preliminary education. But although the student is only taught Pharmacological sciences in his lectures and quizzes, it is here that the foundation of his character-building is laid. It is here, under the sterling tutelage of our respected faculty, that the finer qualities and characteristics, imbedded within, are brought to light. The students, molded by contact with fine and upright young men and women, become automatically indirect helpmates to each other in the formation of their finer instincts. w 1 M ft iyiLijjH|i It rapidly became evident, in our first year at the college, that, due to various incidents and coincidents, the formation of groups originated. Many were the friendships and many were the idiosyncrasies copied, as the students, rotating on their individual axes, crossed each others orbs. It was by this constant mixing and mingling, together with the aid of the many fraternities and societies, that the devel- opment of the student ' s latent possibilities began to appear. It is now, after the fundamental groupings of the student body has taken place, that character building may begin. Now, after the natural processes of assimilation has exerted itself, the cornerstone of character may be laid. Upon this cornerstone, succeeding stones will be placed until at the end of our three years of college life, there will have been built a struc- ture capable of withstanding temptations that ordinarily tend to degrade. It is this fine upright monument that will step out into the world as an aid to the cause ol Pharmacy. Always, the standard of the Pharmacist will banner is raised, Pharmacy need never fear. be Character, and so long as this Raphael Rosenblatt. iBiiYlJjl Out- Hundred Sixteen , J in ffv s 3 .g? U miipmnnHiiEiKinii«i ll - sl V H 1 FBIENDSHIP ft w ft o mm l R day has come — the day we ' ve yearned for, striven for, worked for — Commencement. We experience a thrill, a sense of satisfaction, of accom- plishment, but somewhere there is a sinking helpless feeling which grows as time goes on. Have you ever stopped to think what this means? During our three years at college we have made many acquaintances, more than that, many friends. We have learned to love and depend upon our classmates, our professors, our instructors, our school. Without them we feel lost. As we have gone through our daily life, we have absorbed these friendships more and more until they have become a part of us. As the crucial moment approaches, we are drawn together by a common bond, and never have we felt more secure in each other. But upon the eve of graduation, we suddenly understand just what the parting of the way ' ' means. We begin to realize how deeply our roots have grown into the rich soil of our college life: we already feel the pain of uprooting and transplanting from high school to college. We are anxious, for we know not whether it be for better or worse. Alas, we who have never fully appreciated the devine gift of comradeship, now when it is about snatched away, grasp at it with clutching fingers. But need our friendship be broken? No, our souls cry out. We ' ll keep our friends, our comrades. We ' ll be loyal to our school. We may truthfully say, as once Emerson said, ' ' I awoke this morning with a devout thanksgiving for my friends, old and new . Irving Stack n ft One Hundred Seventeen - o=  , - ' = = S ° soe5!

THE class of 1933 of the Columbia University College of Pharmacy, having been told by a number of eminent professors that with a little concentration g as | on our part we shall pass in a noisy but painless manner from this institution and fearing this to be true as well as praying it to be true, appoint the undersigned to draw up and witness this document, our last will and testament. 1. We give and devise our favorite seats, both in the lecture hall and in the library, to the incoming freshmen. 2. We give and devise the chemistry laboratories to Professor Schaefer and his staff, to divide equally among themselves the work they have thrust upon our un- suspecting shoulders in the past three years. 3. We give and devise the manufacturing laboratory to Professor Brown and his staff. They may also have our oleate of mercury, lead plaster, and scale salts. 4. We give and devise the dispensing laboratory to any ambitious junior who is willing to clean our bottles. 5. We give and devise the No Smoking signs to the Fire Department, to place in such buildings where they may be read and adhered to. 6. We give and devise the lecture hall to the janitors. They are the only ones we have ever seen working there. 7. We give and devise a speedometer to our Dean, Dr. Arny. S. We give and devise a new pad of I. O. U. ' s to our registrar, Mr. Simpson. We believe he will need them. 9. We give and devise the campus to. the Botany Department, to plant in said campus every variety of drug, so that the Junior class may study Pharmacognosy in their leisure hours and yet receive the benefit of the Sixty-eighth Street sunlight. 10. We give and devise Ye Olde Pharmacy , located in the basement of C. U. C. P., to the faculty so that in their spare time they may prepare, compound or dispense such preparations that will benefit the ancient and honorable profession of Pharmacy. Whereas, we have made many mistakes during our life at this institution, and feeling repentent for the said mistakes, we give and devise the following sound advice to those who shall come after us, so that their life will be free from repentence. 1. Never tell Professor Dorfman that Latin is a dead language . 2. Never go to sleep during Professor Wimmer ' s lectures. 3. Never bring alarm clocks or marbles to Mr. Neustadter ' s lectures. Mr. Kaye always gets his man. 4. If you go to sleep in Dr. Amy ' s lectures, don ' t snore. 5. Never tell Professor Brown that you get distilled water from the left hand faucet when everyone knows it comes from the right hand faucet. 6. Always listen to Dr. Rusby. You are listening to the greatest lecturer of all. 7. When in doubt ask for the advice of Mr. Keenan. 8. When Mr. Lewitus has you in a tough spot, start telling a story (any kind ). 9. When you can ' t make a preparation in the manufacturing laboratory, call for Mr. Miale. Am ii =eA i m Hund ed Eighteen m m M k « • aoOo c % riM.E ' g H lBIIPlDlinmiE IKlBlltjjj _, o o °c 10. If you are a good wrestler and doubtful about your Pharmacy, join Mr. Fanelli ' s wrestling squad. 11. Always act like a gentleman in Miss Dimler ' s classes. 12. If you can ' t run titrations in the chemistry laboratory, call for Mr. Soren; he can. 13. If you know any excellent stories, jokes or puns tell them to Professor Jayne. 14. If you haven ' t any money with you. don ' t go into the office: Mr. Simpson never forgets. 15. When you go into the library, read, and tell your old jokes in the locker rooms. 16. When you need some confidential advice, see Professor Carter. 17. When you don ' t know what to say to your best girl friend, ask for Mr. Amsterdam. IS. When you want to classify someone you do not like, ask for Mr. Pokorny; he knows his classifications. 19. If you want to start a personal correspondence with the Dean, cut too many classes. 20. If you want to hear the jokes that were the rage in 1S90, stay awake in the Posolcgy and Business Pharmacy lectures. 21. If you have to leave the Chem Lab, curtesy to Mr. Liberman and say Please, teacher, may I leave the room? 22. When you want to shoot crap or play poker, do it: but don ' t let Herbie Kassner catch you. 23. If you want to carry on a grand old tradition, you ' ll tch-tch in commiseration whenever a prof makes an error while lecturing. S H Wi y 5T ft a i w. (VYi ft Whereas, the giving away of advice and our real property was a last bid for laughs and fun. we find giving and devising ' ' away our personal property a sad sequel to this life. We all know the impossibility of taking personal property to the hereafter. We have reached that point in life where we too cannot, as much as we desire it. continue the hundred-odd friendships that we have formed. Bearing all this in mind, and trying to be cheerful, we give away, one by one, our personal property; our friends. God bless them and look after them. 1.

To any lunatic asylum, we give those three sisters of the skillet ' ' Bloom, Fisher and Goodkin. 7. To the Baron Munchausen, we give the world ' s second best liar, Marty Spiegel. S.

But we still have our doubts. ' le d Alongside of Zilly we have Don Carlos Vigilante, the caballero, showing his best points. He ' s probably looking forward to a life of putrid puns. The track-walker in the north-east corner is Johnny Givens. Even at this early age he showed a desire for beer-guzzling. That can does not contain any weak 3.2 stuff either. The gentleman shown sleigh-riding on the leopard skin is Chris Wight. He is shown with his mouth open. Unfortunately he has not shut it yet. And now we come to Reggie Brown, the fellow in the five-gallon hat and flowing skirts. He has not changed much during all these years, but has just grown up. Alongside of Brownie we see Rube Gilmore. The clothes remind us of Lord Fauntleroy: and the cane is reminiscent of Lou Holtz. His gags are just as bad. The taller of the two gentlemen in the woods is Harry Isacoff. His bashful coun- tenance basking in the Xew Hampshire sun tells us that he was just as shy then as he is now. Harold Heiko is shown thinking up an alibi for not having any clothes on. The contented cow expression on his face seems to indicate that he has just had his Castoria. Medford Cooper ' s photo in the south-east comer reminds one of an ad for Lyon ' s Mouth Wash. He probably uses it before each one of his occasional outbursts of oratory. II w n M One Hundred Tizenty -three 4 ° WnamV m w ft | IflllPlDllPHIIEIKlfillHI J£ ) £« = . = .
