AND HAROLD WEBMAN BUSINESS MANAGER GEORGE GUTTERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY HAROLD BANNER Columbia University I College of Pharmacy I 1943 Not until we were seniors, did we really appreciate Dean Ballard. Acting as teacher, adviser, friend and father protector all at once was indeed trying, but we are proud to state that he was never found lacking in any capacity. To the Graduating Class: While the salutation from the Dean for this annual volume is ordinarily directed to the members of the graduating class, the uncertainties of the times warrants a departure from this custom. The Class of 1943 has wisely recognized these uncertainties by enlarging the scope of this yearbook so that it may include all students now in residence. Thus it is not only a record of ' 43 but may of necessity serve as a record for those of later classes who may face a postponement of their studies by reason of a call to service. We can now realize that although ' 43 is not the first class to go forth since our country entered the conflict, it is the first class to feel the mounting pressure of war demands. Fortunately with but one exception the accelerated class is intact and I sincerely hope that the same may be true of those completing in June. Both sections of this class have forced a radical change in the tempo of their educa- tion and a sudden disruption of the customary study programs. They have shown an ability to rapidly adjust themselves to the new order and this experience should give them confidence in meeting the unpredictable which lies ahead. It is more than likely that the majority will be called upon to join the armed forces shortly after graduation and indeed a fair number are already enlisted as reservists. They will probably be assigned to medical unit service which may or may not be within the sc ope of pharmacy as we understand it. But no matter where and how you may be called upon to serve, I urge you to conduct yourselves that pharmacy ' s claim to recogni- tion may be strengthened and the respect that attaches to a Columbia degree may be maintained. Your predecessors in service have done so with advantage to themselves and credit to the College. At the present time I am proud to record one major, four captains, ten lieutenants and one ensign among our 120 graduates in service. I hope that similar opportunities will be yours. What the future holds for the lower classes in opportunities for completing their studies must await official statements of policy by governmental bodies. Certainly any decisions permitting continuance will be predicated on the ability of the student to maintain satisfactory scholarship. You like thousands of other Americans are working against time and in furtherance of the war effort. A final word to the Class of ' 43 and to those who enter service before graduation. I have frequently referred to the fact that the students and graduates are a part of the College even though they may not realize the tie until some unusual condition arises. Ample justification for this statement exists today in that great numbers of the graduates require records and recommendations for various purposes. We have regained contact with them but the contact need never have been lost. It is my sincere hope that you will keep alive the associations of the past few years both with each other and with the College of which you are truly a part. CHARLES W. BALLARD Dean ' 3 M RT P.

L-o and he hold — came the exam — every problem was an exception; each had a catch to it, and usually even the catch had a catch. Professor Carter did yeoman-like work-in getting us accustomed to pharmaceutical manipulations. After a thorough first year prac- tical course in U.S. P. and .I ' preparations, we took Miuurfactur- ing Pharmacy, where we learned the commercial -methods ot extraction, i.e., percolation, maceration, etc., on a small scale. .Vs an extra added attrac- tion, we were all assigned a topic and gave a talk on it before the class. (The idea was to get us used to public speaking, as well as to do a little research.) As expected, some delivered excellent speeches while others merely delivered. In our Junior year we were given our first taste of Dispensing Pharmacy: Every type of preparation that smelled to high heaven, that was hard to clean, especially hard to make, or that had some other peculiar characteristic attached to it was ftiirewn at us. (Some of our results appeared as though they were thrown right back..) -It was in dispensing pharmacy that we learned to our edification that a counter-irritant must be life s£ Professor Broun, I don ' t think this vertically split emulsion is typical of our hoys ' u ' ork : and as for these gooey suppositories — oohey! Prof. C. P. Wimmer, Dr. L. N. Brown, Mr. J. P.

Amazing course, that eco; interesting too — something good to know when you run dry of con- versation with the little woman. Merchandising, which followed, provided us with enlightening information. (When we need money or advice, we know whom to turn to for the advice.) Friday afternoons, with Dr. Lascoff again, we took Medical Appliances — not too bad. (We did get free atomizers which we sold.) Rounding out our pharmacy program was Pharmaceutical Latin, a one hour a week course that provided us with more work and aggravation than all other pharmacy sub- jects. Mr. Miale did his he t with the little time he had but. Bless Bess, what a mess! — and the less said, the better. In Professor Wimnier ' s fourth year all inclusive Survey course, we were literally smothered with the U.S. P. and N.F. After memorizing everything from cover to cover, we had an intensive review of all four years, including definitions galore. It was really an all out offensive to drive some pharmacy into us; some gains were temporary, while others, advancing a sizeable portion of territory, remained permanent. For example, who could ever forget that oil and water do not mix, or that the number two means there are tivo pints in a quart. In Jurisprudence, with Professor Wimmer again, we were taught the whys and wberefores of the law, or how to keep out of trouble in ten easy lessons. Dispensing Pharmacy was more or less of a repeat prescription with the dose in- creased. The old routine with incompatibilities added was followed, and judging from some of the midyear marks, the increased experience didn ' t further our knowledge to any appreciable extent. :;- ' A:otv with this f ' unnel-shapcd en- trance.

The only man who was reallv laboratory conscious % 0F HO  r ' 8FP 5. — he shall herein be nameless — was so appreciated that he was kept for several encores. Then came the Great Awakening. With the course in Quantitative Analysis, we slowly realized that scales were more than machines which dropped out cards with for- tunes on them. Now we were taught the proper use of the micro-balance. We learned that when the weights, carefully calibrated according to a notebook banded down since 1935, were dropped on the floor, they must be picked up with the eye brow tweezers reserved for that purpose. We learned that the little platinum whatchamacallit on that black thingamajig costs about three bucks (or rather the guy next to us learned it — the hard way). We learned that if you averaged all the results in the class, you couldn ' t get worse than a C. It was in this class that we learned most. Q.E.D. Then came Organic with Dr. Di Somma and. remote from arithmetic and calcula- tions (except those copied from Rand), we settled down to a life of peace and quiet, disturbed, now and then, by Gross ' periodic eruptions, both chemical and psychological, and by tests.

Here we applied our knowledge of statistics to such an extent that our results were amaz- ingly uniform and Silbergleit had to mark us on the basis of Micro- the mean.

Mr. R. H. Lulhin, Mr. J. L. Harlan, Mr. A. H. Ingenhuett, Mr. H Levi The College of Pharmacy is probably the only school in the world where the English. German, Math, History, and Physics instructors are lumped (thrown?) into one De- partment. Well ! There ' s nothing like a little English or Math to break up the time between Chem and Pharmacy lectures. And there ' s nothing like a C.C. lecture to break up the freshmen class into many sections — those taking the course seriously ( a limited and very select group) ; those taking the course somnifaciently ; those taking the course in the Men ' s lounge; and those taking it only when a Hedy Lamarr picture isn ' t playing within 20 miles of West 68th Street. Don ' t get us wrong. We loved every minute we were there, Mr. Luthin. During our Freshman year, we had one unfailing assignment every night — Mathe- matics. Luckily, however, the answers were in the back of the book — so we learned our math backwards, so to speak. What we can ' t understand is how Dr. Levi got his Doctorate, kept order in the class, and corrected the homework and frequent exams — all at the same time. A real genius. Dr. Fialkow is carrying on the great tradition, since Dr. Levi left for war work. The year we entered school, Mr. Boner resigned himself to the fact that he would have to teach us Grammar and Exposition come Hell and High Water. It came, but we learnt. Orchids to a brilliant and inspiring man who was just as bored with the con- jugation of to be as we were, but he stuck manfully to his guns. Mr. Harlan has stepped into his boots and. judging from the reduced rate of illiteracy here, is suceed- ing too. fru German was the subject that came just before Prof. Farwell ' s lectures — fortunately for our Physics homework. We shall always remember German as the hour during which we solved the most abstruse physical problems that Farwell could think up. Mr. Ingenhuett tried valiantly to stem the rising tide, but we were too busy watching that Physics distribution curve go up, and German as a major scientific language go down. There are three things we remember about Physics 1 and 2. Prof. Farwell was the lecturer. Ralph was his assistant, and the classes were held in Pupin. The rest is vague, just as vague as Webster. Farwell. Drew, and the class were on sundry points in General Physics. Long may there be a 68th Street crowd to carry the proud traditions of Pharmacy to the still prouder Campus. Prof, h ' anvdl .Mr. Boner A4wntitHttm It has always been the custom, in the yearbook, to give about one quarter of the space usually devoted to a depart- ment to Administration and, with this necessarily curt survey, dismiss it from mind and book. This is traceable, no doubt, to the memory of those unpleasant moments when the Bursar indelicately insisted on payment of some of the $900 owed. After all, no other department can boast of a Miss Kerker, our registrar, who is the feminine personification of a true Southern gentleman — sans mint juleps — only more so, and she ' s efficient too; or of a Miss Pritchard, the bursar, who actually extracted money from our student Jane M. Pritchard Fay Rosenblatt, Jo La Barbara Providenza logavcro (Nancy) body ( — and Moses thought he was good, getting water from a rock — poof ! ! ) . What department isn ' t jealous of Administration for having, in its personnel, Miss Providenza Mogavero who hides behind the nom de guerre, as it were, of Nancy and who so aptly personifies Infinite wisdom (riches?) in a little room — (and we don ' t mean the library!) ? And. to cap the triumph. Administration has the Misses Josephine LaBarbera and Fay Rosenblatt who are so effi- cient that they do their work and quench the lovelight in the eyes of countless students at the same time. Oh!! If we only had other departments with such a personnel — what joy school would be. ' -■RosfMSenc Cku Otf ffcerJ President George Gutterman Vice-President Moses Philip Kesselman Secretary Olga Pittaro S. C. Representatives Harold Webman Leonard S. Cooper Every year the classes in solemn conclave elect a group of men and women from among themselves to lead them in their activities for the coming year. The last two administrations had actual work, since during this time the Student Activities Fee had been in effect. Among those who served in various capacities were Berny Stark- man and Hy Pomerantz, president and vice-president respectively of the class in the Freshmen Year, Lenny Cooper and Moe Kesselman during the Sophomore Year. In the Junior Year the erstwhile, superduper politician George Gutterman took I over the reins. Al Cohen was vice-president and Stan Siegel served on the Student Council. Among their successful efforts were the Junior Prom, a gala affair held at the Coconut Grove, and a Class Picnic at Clove Lake. As Seniors the class reelected the eversmiling George. His aides were Harold Webman and Lenny Cooper who served on the Council. Moe Kesselman came back as the perennial vice-president. Their efforts together with those of Charley Kaufman brought about the never-to-be-forgotten Senior Prom. Our class officers have for the most part made for a more cooperative and active four years. They may point to many bright endeavors, and a general feeling of comraderie among our group. NATHAN GEORGE ALBERSTAT A.Z.O.j Camera Club H hippet, Bomber, Torpedo One of the horror boys.

A fiery burst from the trumpets is swiftly reinforced by wind instruments, strings and drums. And as though exotically inspired by the exciting magical tempo, the entire orchestra car- ries the music to majestic heights. Our symphony has begun ! FIRST MOVEMENT— ALLEGRO Following the resounding opening chords, which picture our grand entrance into Colum- bia, the music continues and our tale slowly unfolds to reveal, somewhat vaguely, our open- ing lectures and first impressions of college. The unsteady, almost staccato, beat, playfully symbolizes a typical day of those first few hectic weeks. It was in September, 1939, that forty artists !j decided to convene to write a most unusual and yet harmonious opus. They met in a build- ing giving the outward appearance of being just another structure. Inside, however, that nucleus of men and women were to find laboratories for testing their sincerity to accomplish, lecture halls to determine their willingness to succeed, and a library for further research and knowledge. Then, is the subject of our symphony, work ?- — not entirely so. True, the composers set accomplishments as their goal, and they sin- cerely aspired to climb intellectual citadels; but they discovered too, there was more to college life than just learning. In each other ' s company, new interests and amusements were developed; friendships were cultivated ; laughter, frivolity and gay times quickly displaced former serious intentions. Humor, then, became their theme. Math, with congenial Mr. Levi, was one series of perplexing lectures to many. With peo- ple like Fisher in the class, the periods usually turned into mass hilarity . . . Then there was that peculiar noise that droned through English. Boner was a great fellow, all right, but we just weren ' t built to be guinea pigs for anesthetic 943 tests . . . Outside of telling witty ( ?) gags, Mr. Luthin ' s favorite pastime was ejecting people from Contemporary Civilization. ( Never did know why they gave the course that name.) . . . We thoroughly enjoyed the illustrative ex- periments Mr. Anzelmi put on for our benefit i the theories, we invented to explain what we saw. were remarkable); kidding aside though, we sincerely appreciated his patience and help- fulness. It didn ' t take very long before we knew each other well enough to borrow a nickel ; from there on, it was easy. Rare was the occasion that 100% of the class was present, although the attendance sheets were always fully signed. We were more interested in what was taking place in the lounge or in the local theater. Our sports life included playing football on our spa- is campus (till a cop kicked us off the street), throwing snow balls across the lecture hall, and running the 100 yard dash (to get to l.i before the late bell). What about studies, you say? Come to think of it, that ' s what we paid for. wasn ' t it? Yes, we did learn some- thing, but we ' ll be darned if we can remem- ber what. The first movement ends with a repetition of the main theme. SECOND MOVEMENT— LARGO (ALLEGRO CON FUOCO) A nine bar introduction quite as vigorous as the theme itself ushers in the second movement. Horn and trumpet intone this bold storm-like melody that advances in pompous style, gather- ing a throng of instruments as it proceeds. Out of this agitation, the clarinet introduces a new melody which engages the other woodwinds, and finally involves the strings as the song progresses. Perhaps we weren ' t expecting it, but the com- bination of Physics (with Farwell), and Ana- lytical Chemistry (with Liberman), was a lethal dose. For the first time in our lives, we understood what to sweat blood meant. Why Levi ' s Calculus was 2A Arithmetic compared to the stuff Farwell could conjure up; and that guy in Hades certainly has nothing on Liberman. (Say, was that whip made of leather or rubber?) The Master remonstrated his cook book chemists and plumbers with such fury, it slowly dawned on us that he might be serious; the series of F ' s and zeroes he poured out clinched it. Rothman, Hait, Morse and Co. kept up a supply of laughs that nearly intoxicated us, but nevetheless greatly aided us to pass through the turmoil and confusion. That fruitful walk through the park with Mr. Pokorny was a historical event. The terrific oratory rendered by some speakers in Professor Carter ' s Pharmacy class con- vinced us that the more some people talk, the less we think of them. A pause — and the music proceeds falteringlv as though unable to go on, and then with more firmness, the broad opening measures of the movement are heard as the slowly approach the termination of the second movement. THIRD MOVEMENT— SCHERZO ; VIVACE The third movement, which combines the humorous and the grotesque, gives to the Scherzo a fascinating gaiety. It is animated by a rhythm which, whether it engages a large section of the orchestra, and thereby becomes uppermost in the movement, or whether it requires but a small number of instruments, makes itself distinctly felt. And its melodic and rhythmic combinations represent a mixture of sadness on the one hand, and exuberant joy on the other. Jimmy Bugno surprised us by coming back a married man. Hait followed the example soon after. Changes in the international situation interrupted our tranquility and we were sadly reminded of the war by the voluntary joining into the armed forces by Alan Friedman, Phil Piltch, and Leo Ornstein. Organic Chemistry and Bacteriology did more than their share to keep us occupied. Dr. Di Somma, undergoing his first teaching assignment, was fortunate ( depending on your viewpoint) in having us for his first class; both he and Mrs. Di Somma treated us royally — and we shan ' t forget it for a long time . . . We traveled the globe with Doc Redden, and learned a little First Aid and Physiology on the side. Tops in entertain- ment was Doctor Brown ' s extraction of phosphorus from a narrow mouthed bottle with a large forceps. On January .ill. 1942, at the Coconut Grove, we ran our first dance. Everyone, in- cluding George Gutterman, Prom Chairman, had a good time. Encouraged by our success, we ran a picnic extraordinaire on Saturday, May 2, at Clove Lake in Staten Island, under the direction of Al Cohen and President Gutter- man. The remainder of the movement consists wholly in the reiteration of the theme. FOURTH MOVEMENT— ALLEGRO VIVACE The serenity begun by the woodwinds is built to a passionate intensity as the violins take up the thought. The music becomes agitated and almost loses its original signifi- cance. Gradually the theme is rebuilt, and from the greatest depths, an inspiring melody is developed which reaches a magnificent climax. Half the class being forced by the draft to take the summer speed-up course, we were split into two sections. Nine to five, four consecutive hours of lab in swelter- ing heat, Monday to Friday, tough exams plaguing them weekly without letup, the boys really went through hell. Practically the only ray of sunshine that came through the summer session was the birth of Jimmy Bugno, Jr. Seymour Rabinowitz was stricken with pneumonia, and forced to leave, and Hyman Hait was drafted with but four weeks to go. Otherwise, all came through unscathed. Brown ' s Spirit of Moisha, Boxer ' s mass titration of the Mississippi River, the ice cream sittings in chem lab. Rothman ' s puns and Rand ' s brains more than aided the boys to survive. Redox, a mimeographed newspaper, was revived by Al Cohen, and with the aid of a senior staff, soon began to thrive; it suddenly became a new interest in the school. The blood and stamp campaigns it sponsored, received ardent support from the entire senior class. Under the able direction of Charlie Kaufman, the Senior Prom, with all pomp and ceremony, was held at the beautiful La Martinique Night Club, on Friday, December 11, 1942. Chaperoning the nineteen immaculately dressed couples, were none other than our popular Messrs. Pokorny and Miale. We unanimously felt that the Prom had been exactly what we planned it to be; our outstanding affair. Searching always for the most eloquent expressions, drawing all together in a mighty web that reaches a climax with the theme being pronounced with power and decision, our symphony comes to a brilliant close. U t Will AVe, the most benevolent and altruistic class to graduate from C.U.C.P. in this year of our Lord, 1943, in an attempt to demonstrate these qualities to the world at large, do hereby leave : To Dean Charles W. Ballard — a draft board that will give all pharmacy students 2A classifications. To Professor Curt P. Wimmer — a coat with a sleeve large enough to contain the U.S.P., N.F. and the Dispensatory. Sig. : Agitende P.R.N. To Professor Horace Carter — a recording phonograph so that he can commercialize on some of the more interesting speeches given in Manufacturing Pharmacy. He can call the records, The Latest in Hilarious Hilarity. To Professor Lewis N. Brown — to Doc Brown we leave a ten gallon bottle of Spirit of Moishe, a diamond encrusted, gold plated pair of phosphorus tongs and a book entitled, The More Gruesome Pharmaceutical Preparations. To Mister Herman J. Amsterdam — better known as H. J. — that which he will undoubtedly never get in any other way, a student body and council that will obey his every command. To Professor Abe Taub — a patented eye focuser to bring his gaze down to the level of his students instead of exactly 7.42 inches above the head of the tallest member of the clas s. To Professor Harry Taub, our Professor of Humor — the sum of §100,000 to be invested in Harry Taub Enterprises, Inc., whose prospectus says they are putting films on the market of someone funnier than Chaplin. We wonder who! To Mr. Samuel Liberman, better known as the Master, a membership card in the plumbers and cook book chemists union. To Doc Lascoff — a mimeographing machine to print all his notes and save him- self, the school and the student body a lot of time. To Nancy, our petit librarian — an electric wiring shock system operated by buttons at her desk so that she can evict undesirable characters without the usual bother and commotion. To Doc Halsey — a full army corps of Sanitary Engineers to make his laboratory habitable. To Joe Miale — better known as Smilin ' Joe — Quo usque tandem abutere patienta nostra. Oh Mr. Miale, cum homeworko in Latino; and if any of his students can translate that — we demand that Mr. Miale be advanced at once in recognition ot extraordinary teaching ability. ( N.B. Any student who wants the above translated, see Prof. Brown.) To the Underclassmen — a secret — shh — h. The faculty isn ' t such a bunch of bad eggs — but that doesn ' t mean that it ' s safe to crack them. Signed The Class of ' 43 The £ckwl SeqwutkA By diligent exercise of its forgottories, being in a generous mood, C.U.C.P. hereby bequeathes to the following choice students those attributes or items which will undoubtedly insure for them complete success in all future undertakings. To George Gross, our future Army lieutenant par excellence, we bequeath a 1943 model Buick muffler — to help him lower his voice to a roar; and a complete asbestos suit — to enable him to continue along his merry, if explosive, way in chemistry. To Wallace Gold, we affectionately will a magic carpet, seven-league boots, and any other conveyance that will enable him to make his famous lecture hall excur- sions without arousing any unnecessary comment. To George Gutterman, a lovely loose-leaf notebook (mental) to help him turn over the pages in his mind more easily; and a copy of Dr. Reddens Public Speaking, from the Typhoon of ' 26 to Yellowstone Park in ' 40 to enable him to put more vim and vigor into his famous two minute speeches. To Harold Pinkof, an autographed copy of Das Kapital, Russian translation, Monthly Special $.89 — minus the spiff. To Olga Pittaro — Who wants our favorite and very own sweater girl to be graduated anyway ? ( That is, besides her. ) To our little Latin Bombshell. Nathan George (N.G. for short) Alberstat — a copy of that famous autobiography, The Lives and Loves of Hal Banner, subtitle, The Facts of Life and How I Disproved them and a copy of that famous little lover ' s blackbook. To Leon Joselow — an umbrella. Chamberlain style, to go with his Oxford accent. (Or is it Cambridge?) To Irving Boxer, our typical pharmacist (via Redox), a Hollywood contract to ensure his starring in that great melodrama The Monster Titrates, script to be written by Prof. Abe Taub. To Harry Rothman, the man Mr. Liberman says has an unconscious sense of humor — which is, after all, one quarter right — a cushion so that he can sit more comfortably in Rand ' s lap. To Evelyn Brenner and Stanley Siegal — a lifetime pass (singular) to the Paramount. To Alvin Cohen — a large piece of paper and one signature to start a petition to get public backing of his miniature P.M. To Leonard Cooper, Roy Yale. Irving Simon, and all the other boisterous stu- dents — a shot of strychnine. To the Student Body in General — something they really need very badly — a new set of brains.

Best Dressed Man George Gross Ph (W4CH Almost immediately after the first bombs fell on Pearl Harbor, the pharmacists and wholesale druggists of Honolulu were mobilized for emergency duties. Telephones began ringing within fifteen minutes of the attack, and supplies of sulfanilamides, narcotics, tetanus and gas gangrene serums, burn remedies, and other essential drugs were shipped swiftly and efficiently to emergency and hospital centers. For their valiant and successful fight, as well as for their priceless professional services rendered to our armed forces, we proudly salute our Hawaiian comrades! Science makes great advances during a war — that is axiomatic. Pharmacy has not been found lacking. Long before the United States declared war, our chemists and botanists labored fervently to supply the nation with substitutes to replace our lost supplies from Europe. That we will soon be independent of the world for our stock of such drugs is concrete evidence of American pharmaceutical ingenuity. Of all industries, the drug industry was the first to realize that organized, systema- tized research had to be fostered in order to develop pharmacy to its greatest peak of service. Laboratories are inventing and perfecting new drugs, as well as utilizing their facilities for other types of scientific work. The release of I. G. Farbenindustrie patents by the Alien Property Custodian will give us more widespread distribution of ma- fir Vfctcrtf terials. ami at a lower cost. Thus, inspired research is rapidly making America the Laboratory as well as the Arsenal of Democracy. Recognizing the integral part they play in the normal life of the community, espe- cially in periods of emergency, pharmacists have pledged themselves to a program which accelerates and emphasizes their everyday duties. The withdrawal of a large number of men to the armed forces, has placed an additional burden upon those remain- ing. However, the corner druggist has made victory part of his business. The success of the War Stamp sales drive of the drug industry, the registration of drug stores as emergency first aid stations, adequately supplied with medicines and equipment, and the qualifying of most pharmacists as First Aiders, as well as the col- lection of tin tubes, along with other conservation and salvaging projects, all demon- strate, beyond any doubt, that the retail druggist has the ability and energy to constitute an important part of the war effort. These, however, are only surface changes, for the functions of pharmacists are rapidly being revised. It may be realized that many items in the drug store today are, for purposes of total war, unessential and unimportant, slowly to be removed from the market by the government. The needs of our Army, Navy, allies and civilian popu- lation will soon create a situation which will call into play all the ingenuity and pro- fessional education of the pharmacist. Now, more than ever, he must act as an intelli- gent purchasing agent. Physicians as well as laymen are relying on him to be prepared for all conditions. This is the important function of wartime pharmacy — and we hope that with it will come a thorough housecleaning of much of the frills and commer- cialism in the drug store. Although the Colleges of Pharmacy have also mobilized for the war, we are proud to point to our Alma Mater as a leader in pharmaceutical education. Not only have our graduates assumed a vital role in both civilian and armed forces, but Columbia is the only school used for the training of pharmaceutical war personnel by the armed services. Ctrftifwd Xif As you approach our building, our beautiful spacious campus, covered with beautiful green grass and lined with grandstands, meets your eye. Ah yes, a campus that causes your heart to quicken and your pride to swell because o f its grandeur and splendor. Our all powerful football varsity team can be seen practising — notice the skill, the proficiency, and the almost professional ability with which they play. See our Man Mountain Dean, in the foreground, skillfully taking out two of the opposition ' s best men. Notice the tremendous crowd ' s awed expression. Before entering our stately portals, you chance to observe two students enveloped in light intellectual conversation — Ein- stein ' s Theories, no doubt. Noth- ing but interest is reflected on their faces — surely only the finest of sciences could captivate their attention so wholly. What an inspiring sight! What a beautiful thing college life is! Next, you come to Phar- macy ' s Arsenal of Knowledge, our million-dollar library. The very atmosphere is alive with creativeness, knowledge, and re- search. But what have we here? A rare sight indeed, for you have the privilege of witnessing the evolution of a thesis — a work of art destined to shock the world with its irrationality. But no visit could be com- plete without seeing our modern cafeteria. Here we notice a neat and orderly eating place, kept immaculate by the careful su- pervision and manners of our scholarly elites. Aren ' t the mu- rals fascinating — especially the fine artistic lines? To travel upward, you do not use the conventional and outdated method of walking stairs. You merely step into our spacious elevator, designed to hold at least rive students of medium weight. Of course, if the Dean should perchance hap- pen to see you, well, that would only be another mere dollar tacked onto your irreturnable breakage fee. First floor, the lounge. Here we rind out collegiates partici- pating in really educational com- petitive sports. The fact that these sports don ' t receive the full blessing and co-operation they merit from the faculty, probably accounts for the scar- city of participants. Next stop, we arrive at the lecture hall, where an examina- tion is in progress. Nothing but the honor system is used at Co- lumbia. As far as the minor details of the shotgun and the telescope — well — they ' re just minor details. The Bacteriology labs pro- vide us with interesting exhibits. Our eccentric scientist and world - renowned Bacteriologist, Emil Ducker, who, by the way, only recently arrived from Eu- rope where his discoveries shook the world, can be seen in one of his sane moments, shaving, using the microscope mirror to direct his progress. The fifth floor, we view the Pharmacy Testing Labs where suppositories are calibrated for shape, capsules and troches are weighed to the millimicron, and where at the moment, pills are being tested for roundness. And last, but by no means least, we arrive just in time to witness mad chemist Gross, en- Grossed in the destructive distillation of ether. Rare is the occasion when the whole lab isn ' t in danger of being destruc- tively distilled. tyleJMtfe tc tfH terfw4ti4t66 Now the world knows that the Nazis, the Fascists and the militarists of Japan have nothing to offer youth — except death. On the other hand, the cause of the United Nations is the cause of youth itself. It is the hope of the new generation — and the generations to come — hope for a new life that can be lived in freedom, and justice and decency . . . We here at home are supremely conscious of our obligations to you, now and in the future. We will not let you down. We know that in the minds of many of you are thoughts of interrupted education, inter- rupted careers, delayed opportunities for getting a job . . . When you come home, we do not propose to involve you, as last time, in a domestic economic mess of our own making . . . In the last war, youth did not think deeply about the cause of the war nor formulate any objective for peace. The result of this was that through sins of omission and commission we brought on another war. The determination that this shall not happen again should be firmly expressed by youth today. They have united in war. Therefore, they must unite in peace. PRESIDENT FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT We are today not fellow students but brothers-in-arms in the greatest struggle men have yet witnessed. The present war is a decisive conflict between two ways of life, between peoples living in two different moral universes. All who fly the banner of democracy, no matter what the race, color or creed are comrades in a common cause. The events of the past few months have clearly indicated that education, as we have known it, is to undergo a radical change. The theme of college learning is not education for one ' s own personal elevation, but for victory for the nation. The liberal arts are doomed; science assumes an all important position, and as pharmacy students, you will be a vital part of that position. If it becomes your duty and obligation to actively participate in battles to come, you leave with the assurance that you will be able to resume when you return. If you are fortunate enough to remain in school, remember the men who are taking your place on the front line. They will be doing their best. Will you be doing yours?

Sophomores Milton. Pushkin. Juniors Business Manager George Gutterman Faculty Adviser Mr. Miale fyctkektin The Apothekan is. ami always has been, unique among the droves of college year-books published. That this is so is no testimonial to the genius of the editors, past or present, but rather to the singular fact that it is parthenogenetic (paging Doc Redden) in origin. To put it into terms that any censor would pass, it springs, like Minerva, full blown from the brains of the editors, unsul- lied by any previous literary experience. The results of our ingenuity in Apothekan ' 43 were in many ways good. For example, breaking all precedent we stayed within our budget at all times. There are some who would say that this was so because our funds were unusu- ally large. True! True! But the fact still remains — we dood it. We were expertly advised as to make-up and such by Mr. Kaplan of Marlin Printing Co., and Mr. Lessin of Scientific Engraving, and not knowing any better, we stuck to their advice — and are now very glad that we did. We refused to be orthodox. For example, we actually tried to make up a committee of the best wits (?) of each class to write the personals or, as better known, the snide cracks; where possible, we tried to use pictures for words; and, in general, we showed a great and happy ignorance of all custom and the like. We gratefully acknowledge the help of the Class of ' 42 who left us a detailed list of the pitfalls that beset their path. Nor can we minimize the worth of the jovial guidance of Mr. Joseph Miale in making Apothekan a book that you can take home to Mother; nor of the Faculty, in general, who have helped immeasurably by bearing up nobly under the stresses of minor inconveniences. The character of our book was set by our determination to tickle the collec- tive funny-bones of the student and faculty body. We knew of no surer method of making Apothekan something that the student, whether Senior or no. would refer back to now and then — as he sits waiting for his stamp-cus- tomer-of-the-day in happy years to come. We have tried to be humorous. Let that be our epitaph. And it ' s hard work. We have poked a little friendly fun at the Achilles heel of the students, teachers and institution. We have tried to see to it. and the censors h?.ce helped us see to it, that there were no petty stings motivated by anything except a good, clean sense of fun. To those who object, recall the words of Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt. For Heaven ' s sake, keep laughing. When we were through with humor, a sterner duty settled upon us. We were, and are. at war against Fascism and all that it stands for. As pharma- cists, teachers and embryonic chemists, and. above all, as Americans, duties and obligations have devolved upon us — obligations of which we never d reamed. It is not the purpose of Apothekan to prate as to these duties and the like. It is traditionally American to Say little and carry a big stick and we are not the ones to tell our fellows how to use it. We simply state that it is our belief and. much more, our knowledge that Pharmacy and its practitioners shall more than carry their share of the burden. Jyniw Well, here we are in our third year, and mighty pleased too. It was quite a strug- gle though. The first day we registered we thought we were in an army camp — all the upperclassmen were evading Mr. Simpson, the Doughboy. Jo Libenhaut wasn ' t sure he wanted to take advantage of his scholarship because he received offers from Rutgers, Upjohn, and Oxford (Food Shop). Friedland had just arrived from Pal- estine, so naturally he wanted to continue his schooling in America. All you needed was $7,000 to get into C.U.C.P. at the time, so it was easy for Mikeh because his honcle was a printer. Before we knew it, we were all getting our school supplies ready for our long strug- gle. We strolled into our first class with a chip on our shoulder, but by the end of the day we had thrown the chip away. In the first class, we heard Dr. Wimmer telling us that if we made a prescription for less than $10, we were not fit to be pharmacists and subjects of Rabbi Momanodees. It finally ended that all students who could spell hieroglyphics correctly passed pharmacy orientation. We then strolled into CkAA pharmacy math, where we heard Mr. Amsterdam saying, You people will never be pharmacists. and then calling Pushkin a murderer for getting an answer of 432 gr. of strychnine for a 4 oz. mixture. From here we moved into Mr. Luthin ' s class (1A). It was here that we sat with our mouths open while listening to the definition of free love and the principles of cribbing. After leaving this bit of relaxation, we strolled into the course of courses, Calculus. Mr. Levi would get confused now and then, but, after blowing his nose and taking a Lextron capsule, would continue while the boys wished they could understand the course. Schuchman to this day thinks that Log 1 plus Log 2 plus Log 3 plus Log 4 equals ' Uncle Tom ' s Cabin ' . English was a hep course. Every Monday we had to write a 7.000 word composition in ten minutes. The rest of the hour, we used for bandaging each other ' s fingers. Any student who had a run on paragraph, had to sing Deep in the Heart of Texas 40 times . . . After leaving Mr. Pokorny ' s class, we knew all about Thallophyta, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, and how to get to Bush 44, by way of the Eighth Avenue Subway. Our first year chem course was presented to us by Mr. Anzelmi, who taught us the basic chemistry needed for protection against Mr. Liberman, who we will discuss as soon as we get to the second year . . . Our first real pharmacy started with Professor Carter and Mr. Amsterdam in Manufacturing lab. Professor Carter lectured while Mr. Amsterdam counted the money from student activities, when he wasn ' t break- ing up the triple quantity clique. Boy that was a tough year. But the second year was even tougher. The only easy course was physics where 28% on a quiz gave one the right to run the elevator for two weeks. One day. Professor Farwell, while sealing the room, and swinging back and forth on a rope extended from the ceiling, lost his grip and fell on the hard seats in the back of the room. So from that day on. all the pharmacy students had to sit in the back of the room to catch him in case the rope broke. It was in Mr. Liberman ' s lab, we learned to salute and say, yes, sir and also to iveigh rock candy analytically. His favorite expression — You ' re about as normal as some of your solutions. Every time you came without a lab coat, you got 30 lashes with a burette until you reached your end point. Al Grubman finally caught on after going to the 42nd Street library and reading the meniscus. To this day, Kaner thinks an end point is something on a Parker pen. In Mr. Liberman ' s classes, the marks ran as follows : If you got a red F you were hopeless. A blue F meant you still had a chance. With an M.U. you were going places. A C gave you the right to work in Lascoff ' s pharmacy as delivery boy. Mr. Liberman got real sore one day when Stan Fried got the Make Believe Ball- room on the copper determining machine. . . . Then one day we all came to German ; Mr. Ingenheut sent half of us home because he felt out of place. He didn ' t mind us sitting on top of each other in a quiz, but when we started writing on each other ' s papers, it was going too far. . . . We can still smell the cat in zoology lab. One day Doc Halsey came into lab without his pipe. One cat looked up at the other and said. Tell me, Tom. Are we in da right lab??? Doc ' s course could really have been given in sex easy lessons. Some of Dr. Halsey ' s clean gags were really good. If a cat didn ' t laugh at them, the poor thing was fired . . . We are now in our third and really enjoyable year. Organic Chemistry is really an interesting course and is made enjoyable by Dr. and Mrs. Di Somma. ( Now if we don ' t pass, there ' s something wrong.) But all kidding aside. . . . We ' ve all enjoyed selling Vitalis in the store we work in. We now have the pleasure of making it in chem lab. You really learn some practical stuff in Dr. LascofFs courses. If Phillips Mag. costs 29 f and you sell it for 27 . you lose 2(S . . . Quiz question— Name 10 ways of breaking a contract (and getting away with it). There are 2 types of drug stores, the professional apothecary and Walgreen ' s.

Physiology and First Aid as presented by Dr. Redden is really hep. Dispensing pharmacy is swell even though Schuchman thinks a catchet is something made by Yardley. Oh yes. this year we have the pleasure of having Mr. Pokorny in Histology. When he rolls his eyes now, it ain ' t funny anymore but he ' s still good for a lot of laughs. Pharmacy Latin is a swell course presented by a gentleman and a scholar. Mr. Miale. But the doctors still write Unicaps. Thus we lived through three of our best years made even better by a staff of the swellest professors at C.U.C.P. ct5 S) £cpkowre CitfM An impartial observer. looking at the group assembled in the lecture hall, might have gotten an impression of latent power, of sharp intellects, of bubbling spirits and whole- some fun; he might have seen on the bright faces before him the light of learning combined with an invigorating joie de vivre. This, however, is not what Dean Ballard noticed as he stood addressing the Freshman class on that bright September morning of 1941. What he did see was 45 faces, some stolid, some amused, some expectant and others obviously bored. During the first two weeks of the term, we became acquainted with our teachers and they, unfortunately, became acquainted with us. Mr. Luthin soon became resigned to our many cuts, but his patience with the class in general must have been strained, especially when the class cut en masse. Having learned that the class was in the men ' s lounge, he dashed down the stairs from 32, across the hall, and up the steps to the lounge; but lo. the birds had flown! When he got back to 32, somewhat short of breath, he found, to his amazement, the entire class impatiently awaiting his arrival. Mr. Luthin, however, will always remain a swell guy. It was with sincere regret that we learned that Dr. Levi was going to leave us to give his services to the Navy. Our boyish-looking Math teacher has been well liked by all of us. The first event of class interest was the elections and our first social function was a theater party; the play was Banjo Eyes. Most of the boys seemed reluctant to intro- duce their girl friends to their classmates. For shame, boys! That showed little self- confidence, and besides, not all the fellows are wolves, or are they? What fun those carefree freshman days were! Our sophomore year started quite auspiciously. Early Tuesday morning. Mr. Liber- man looked down on us with a grim compression of his lips and summed us up with a bored look. Better not try any tricks in here. boys. I ' m wise to anything you can pull, and then some. he assured us. Do your work and you ' ll pass the course. If you don ' t, he said with a terrible leer on his face, the army will get you. We are no longer frightened by Mr. Liberman; we know that under that fearsome and rugged exterior, there lies a heart of gold. Although we had been supplied with much information and advice about all the teachers at C.U.C.P., the reports that reached us about the dreaded colossus who towered over the Physics labs were vague and mysterious. Professor Farwell, the man reputed to devour Pharmacy students between classes, soon proceeded to fulfill our worst expectations. With a ferocious twist to his lips that was meant for an amiable grin, his face would become convulsed and assume an apoplectic tinge while lecturing. Then, turning to some poor unfortunate who had the temerity to drop a book, he snarled, Get a handle! For his many thinly veiled remarks about that Pharmacy group, Professor Farwell will long be remembered. We soon learned that Mr. Pokorny was a very amusing speaker, when he spoke about anything except Botany. A thoroughly appreciated change in the routine was a stroll through Central Park. It was highly successful from our point of view, but not so from Mr. Pokorny ' s. It seemed that the class was paying more attention to social affairs than Botanical. The first of our class to enlist in the armed forces was Bernie Palais, now in the Medical Corps. Shortly afterwards, Jim Tobin enlisted in the Coast Guard and Tori- gan in the Navy. Good luck, boys! Before this year is over, our class will be further reduced, and the majority of us will probably be in service before long.

JreAkjnah Approaching the venerable institution which we call Alma Mater. one accus- tomed to looking but not seeing. and to observing only the superficial aspect of things would not think much of its appearance. Behind the familiar facade on West 68th Street, however, there dwells the learning of centuries, the accumulated lore of an ancient and honorable profession. Hither journey students of all races and creeds, of varied characters and back- grounds who. however, have a common interest — to absorb the wisdom of the ages relating to their chosen vocation as well as cultural subjects to make them better citizens of the future. In an atmosphere of comradeship mr.de possible by the small classes and by demo- cratic, friendly teachers, our study and work are tempered by the good humor which is never out of place in our surroundings. The human foibles of our teachers and class- mates, and the everyday events which add a chuckle here and there, act as tonics on our journey down the road of learning. Our mid-semester examination marks may not be altogether to our liking, but they only spur us on to greater effort and achievement. To us the most interesting part of the school work is the chemistry laboratory, where theories and laws learned during the week are actually put to work in a series of Cfau experiments. Book learning is both desirable and necessary, but tor a real understand- ing and grasp of fundamentals, one must work with his hands. The recreational side of our college life must not occupy too great a place nor should it be entirely ignored, for it enables us to meet our classmates socially and to make contacts useful for the rest of our lives. An important phase of this is the numer- ous fraternities and sororities abounding on the campus. Not many of us have as yet joined, but expect to, for we think it is great fun. To a person advancing into man- hood or womanhood there is nothing to equal the good fellowship and friendship which may be gained from such associations. In closing, we say with all sincerity that our association with Columbia College of Pharmacy has made such a deep impression on us that it will remain throughout the rest of our lives.

Because of the drastic changes brought about by the war. the Student Council re- turned to the ' 42- ' 43 session to find the budget, which had been decided upon after weeks of planning the previous term, scrapped. So back to work they went, and if then- former trials and tribulations seemed a bit overbearing, the new budget was soon to enlighten them as to what real aggravation was like. No agreement between the Council and the faculty adviser, Mr. Amsterdam, could be reached, one constantly vetoing the suggestions of the other. Finally after due deliberation, debate and what not. a new budget was born! A major portion o f it was allotted to Apothekan (for which we are more than grateful ) . On November 28, 1942, at Earl Hall, the Council ran its only affair, the Turkey Hop. Although the financial results were far from satisfactory, the dance was a social success, for all who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Refreshments were served, door prizes and other prizes were awarded, and a guest singer rendered several songs. The Hall was beautifully decorated with streamers, and to make the affair concur with the times, fifty Coast Guardsmen, from the school, were invited ; as can be imagined, the atmosphere was indeed gay. £t((4eHt Council P uffftur-cC -tfejcx BERNARD COHEN ' 44 Editors-in-Chief ALVIN COHEN ' 43 Wallace Chavkin ' 44 Maurice Rosenthal ' 44 Editorial Board Editorial Staff Leon Joselou-, 43 Irving Simon ' 43 M.

Miale Membership in the American Pharmaceutical Association, Columbia University Branch is an opportunity to join with others of the pharmaceutical field in raising the standards, influence, and recognition of the profession; and sharing the benefits of group action that are unobtainable through individual action. The student is given the opportunity of sharing in social and professional activities that will give him a better knowledge of the profession and those in it. The war has brought closer to the professional man the need for a representative organization to correlate the help a group can offer with the needs of the war effort. Though individuality is of great importance, more can be accomplished by a united effort. Better ideas are brought to light when many minds are working on a common problem at the same time. Each can contribute something to build it up. Any reforms to better the profession in any way are facilitated by a group voice rather than an individual one. The Branch is under the guidance of Professor C. P. Wimmer as faculty adviser. Lawrence L. Gorin ' 43, president, Alvin Cohen ' 43, secretary, and Bernard Starkman ' 44, treasurer. Our many activities include scientific demonstrations, talks by well- known educators, movies on a variety of subjects, discussions on topics of interest, and social gatherings. A Ph. A STUDENT BRANCH Canter CM This year, under the influence of a few spirited individuals, the Camera Club was revived. With Mr. Anzelmi, graciously consenting to act as Faculty Adviser, and with Wally Gold, ' 43, as President, the Club had a very successful turnout. Meetings were held regularly, and rare was the occasion that from ten to fifteen camera bugs didn ' t turn out. Candid shots of the students and faculty in action were taken, many of which are included in Apothekan. At meetings. lectures were given on the finer points of pho- tography by such experts as Emil Ducker, ' 43 (Technical Adviser) and Hal Banner, ' 43, Photography Editor of Apothekan. The Dante Circle was established in 1922 by Professor Jacob S. Dorfman and Mr. Dominick Fanelli for the purpose of promoting a closer bond among the students of the college. Since 1926 the Dante Circle has awarded annually a gold medal, known as the Diekman Medal, to the student receiving the highest rating in Theoretical Pharmacy in his three years at the college. This award has since been made a permanent one. This season was opened in early November by a dinner-bowling party at which the prospective members were introduced to the circle, and then pledged. Because of stress- ing times the social activities of Dante Circle have been comparatively few in number. Those that we did have were truly enjoyable. The highlight of the season was the initiation at which the pledgees were officially made members of the organization. In an effort to enter into the spirit of the day, the members of the fraternity have assisted in the sale of defense stamps, and many have donated blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank. We soon must say farewell to some of our members, and to the remainder we promise that in coming years we will be striving harder than ever to insure fraternalism among the members of our organization. fante Circle fcelttf £i(ftM( Thetif Delta Sigma Theta. established in Brooklyn College of Pharmacy in 1918, is today one of the largest non-sectarian fraternities, and the only frat embracing the three healing arts of Pharmacy. Medicine and Dentistry. There are fourteen chapters, of which Delta at the Columbia College of Pharmacy is one of the most active. This chapter enjoys a large membership in school, and besides bringing professional benefits to its members, affords them ample opportunities for social activities. Meetings are held every other Monday night throughout the year at some prominent midtown hotel, (at present, the Hotel Empire), at which matters relating to the profession, school and world at large are discussed. Once a month, each chapter sends delegates to a Supreme Council meeting to give reports of its activities and to debate any issues which may effect one or all of the chapters. Thus the pharmacy chapter is bound into a closer union with our allied professions. It is by means of these meetings and social functions and affairs that the fraters are enabled to constantly keep in touch with one another long after they have graduated, and once casual acquaintances rapidly develop into life-long friends. Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity was founded in 1879. It is one of the largest fraternities in the field of Pharmacy. Kappa Psi now has 51 collegiate chapters and 35 graduate chapters, representing 31 states. Several times a year delegates from each chapter meet at an appointed place and discuss fraternal and social matters. Gamma chapter of C.U.C.P. is one of the oldest chapters in the fraternity. Through all these years Gamma has been very active. This year we have had a dinner dance with the Omega chapter of Newark, several get togethers, a regional meeting, and a Christ- mas party. We are looking forward to other social events in the near future. Although our honor roll is large there are three names which stand out because they are brothers with whom we, the present class have gone to school with: Donald Taber, U. S. Navy Hospital apprentice 1st class, Charles Rose, U. S. Navy Hospital apprentice 1st class, Puzant Torigian, U. S. Navy Third Class Pharmacists Mate. Charles Rose will be a Pharmacists mate third class early in January. He was fortu- nate to get a seven day leave and came to school to see the gang. To all the men in the service and to the brothers of Kappa Psi in the service we wish them the best of luck. UzpjW Pji inMn Kappa Styw Sigma Chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma was organized by the women students of Columbia College of Pharmacy in 1931. Since that time Sigma Chapter has steadily developed along professional and social lines. During the past year an active program was carried out. The semester started with an Eastern Regional convention held in New York at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Shortly after a welcome party was held for incoming freshman women students. This was followed by a luncheon which was well attended. In rapid succession we held a pledg- ing ceremony. Jinx Walk, a highly successful raffle, and finally, initiation services with the addition of four new members. The sorority was especially interested in doing its part in cooperating with the national war effort. Members helped by serving as air raid wardens, giving blood to the Red Cross, working in interceptor command, and being useful in many other capacities. This varied activity somewhat curtailed social events. Lambda Kappa Sigma plans an exciting and eventful program for the coming year. Rho Pi Phi was founded twenty-five years ago during the war period. Since then, it has become the largest, international pharmaceutical fraternity, with chapters in even- part of the country. All the chapters are closely bounded by the Supreme Council, winch is the governing body of the organization. An annual convention is held every year in a different city. Rho Pi Phi Day was declared at the New York World ' s Fair and pharmacists from all over the country attended the ceremonies. Included within its roster as actual members are such notables as Herbert Lehman, Dr. J. Leon Lascort, and E ddie Duchin. Gamma Chapter was first organized in 1922. Twenty years ago, a group of students, inspired by the close intimacy of their scholastic activities, conceived the vision of per- petual relationship by forming this chapter. They formulated the code of the Ropes. This developed their earnest desire to carry the standards of their profession, the pharma- ceutical code of ethics, to the highest points of honor and integrity. As Ropes, they carried these thoughts throughout these years. This present chapter has added to the ideals of the fraternity, a theme song dedicated to the spirit of the Ropes. It has become the leading chapter in the fraternity. This fraternity has relished the position of being one of the most outstanding and fore- most fraternities in the school. Rho Pi Phi is a fortress of inspiration to every i rater, urging all to fulfill destinies worthy of its ideals. gkc Pi Phi fcirectwif Alberstat, Nathan George Banner, Harold Boxer, Irving Brenner, Evelyn Bugno, James P.
