THE M E D I As the strength of a chain is dependent upon its links, so the strength of pharmacy is dependent upon the individuals making up the profession. The primary need in the training of a pharmacist is a sound background in pharmaceutical subjects. We, the students at Columbia, have every right to be proud of the knowledge imparted to us by the faculty, as well as of the faculty itself. William Weingold gave us our first introduction to pharmaceuticals and galenicals. This introduc- tion served as a broad foundation for a working knowledge of pharmacy and the techniques of com- pounding. Our class remembers William Weingold for his understanding and helpfulness. In our junior year we delved into Dispensing Pharmacy under the guidance of Professor Joseph Kanig. Joe, a stern disciplinarian who prodded us on to finer techniques, will always be remembered as an outstanding member of Pharmacy. Under his firm but helpful hand, we worked hard and learned well the fine art of compounding upon which our profession has its basis. In Professor Kanig ' s laboratory, we met Robert Bebarfald, who served as a helping hand to many 10 of us. He aided us in our difficulties in compound- ing, and his caustic wit often made us realize that we could and should do better. Professor Leonard Chavkin, Asst. Professor of Pharmacy, showed himself to be a man constantly striving towards perfection. His ability and high ideals will always be recalled by our class. Senior year brought us to the Dispensing Lab- oratory of Dr. Lewis Brown. This lab served as the finishing place for the men and women soon to graduate. Although Dr. Brown was a hard task- master, he earned the respect and admiration of all. Dr. Louis Malspeis was our Professor of Organic Medicinals. In addition to possessing an adroit and polished manner of teaching, Dr. Malspeis was also a man who could take and tell a joke. By virtue of these facts, he managed to give us a thorough know- ledge of his course. Although Dr. Kuramoto was never our instructor, his teaching ability and friendliness has been made known to us by the lower classmen. Only in brief have we covered the members of our Pharmacy staff. Their fine teaching and leader- ship are responsible for what we are today.
