WILD LIFE AND Fanchon Hart Lucy W. Clausen ' MtJfc fe The science of Biology and its ramifications are of course, important in the training of the Pharma- cist. It is essential for the Pharmacist to be well versed in these subjects. By virtue of the high cali- ber of its members, our department of Biology is one of the finest in all the pharmacy schools; and due to their fine teaching, we have all become great- ly enriched in these sciences. Our first introduction to the biological sciences brought us in contact with Professor H. Randolph Halsey. An instructor of Zoology in the Freshman year, he also taught us Physiology in the Junior year. Professor Halsey ' s fine lectures were well sup- plemented by his able and quick sense of humor, as well as his mastery of dialects. His teaching laid a good foundation for our later related courses of Pharmacology and Medicinals. Professor Halsey was ably assisted in Zoology by Mrs. Margaret C. Staud. Professor Pokorny was also introduced to us in our Freshman year, and then again in the Junior year, first as a teacher of Botany, and later of Phar- macognosy. His delightful and thorough hours of lecturing taught us very much about these courses. Since so much of Pharmacy today is based upon crude drugs, his fine coverage of the subject matter was well appreciated. Miss Francoise Kelz served as the very fine in- structor in Professor Pokorny ' s laboratories. Her very able assistance was a great aid to us all. In the Senior year we entered upon the study of Bacteriology under the fine tutelage of Professor Fanchon Hart, the head of the Biology Department. Not only one of the finest Bacteriologists in the country, Professor Hart is also an excellent teacher, whose very ready knowledge easily conveyed the complexity of the course to us. As her very fine as- sistant, Dr. Lucy W. Clausen, by virtue of her fine technique and vast knowledge, did much to ease the rigors of the course. Michael M. Clay 12

CONVERSATION Last, but certainly not least, is the man from Ohio, Professor Michael M. Clay: a man with a tremendous amount of knowledge, and a wonder- fully dry sense of humor, who was soon endeared to us all. A recent addition to the CUCP faculty. Professor Clay has given Columbia ample reason to be proud of him. These were our teachers, and we all bear the proof of their ability. We will all carry our mem- ories of their teaching and guidance with us throughout life. H. Randolph Halsey Francoise Kelz Margaret C. Staud Frank J. Pokorny 13
