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.

%« As one can plainly sec. the log of the integral of the gerun- dive of Shtickshioff gefun- den is a relic of the feudal system and a zuhindung from the Lake Poets of the second half of the Cosine Law. 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.

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.
