The class was very glad to take Prof. Chav- kin ' s course. It was the one course in the junior year that enabled us to broaden ourselves and become the well rounded individuals that we as professional men were supposed to be. While he stressed the virtues of the rectangular shaped store and the clean front, we learned much for our furure in Pharmacy. Prof. Chavkin ' s slow easy going style was just the tonic we needed to carry us through the mid-afternoon slump. We awoke refreshed ready to meet the rigors of the long subway rides ahead. For sale; one management book, as good as new. LEONARD T. CHAVKIN PHARMACY At the beginning of the sophmore year we met the Wizzard from the west coast. Although his frame was slight, his exams were big. As we traveled the next three years with him, gingerly stepping over benzene rings and dodging p orbitals, we found ourselves liking the man more and more. Each lecture in his particular version of science fiction theatre was a traumatic emotional experience. Mr. Wizzard is well liked and certainly much respected. What more a professor could wish for we do not know, except to have a class full of Greenblatts . . . Hoo Hah. 17

Prof. Weingold gave us our first taste of Pharmacy, in fact a great big bite. If the syrup doesn ' t drown you, the solutions will. But he smiled as he conveyed to us the wonder of the allegation, and smiled still more as he opened the door to low, medium and Hie! high alcohol percentages. The ubiquity of smiling Willie gave us the incentive to learn how to conceal a towel in a lab coat during a practical, and how to lick a label while appearing to blow one ' s nose. In addition to being an able professor, the FBI is after him to find out his method for finding fingerprints on bottles where there weren ' t any before. WILLIAM WEINGOLD In teaching us the new, improved Junior dispensing course, Dr. Dashowitz ' s glibness, fine delivery, and excellent sense of humor helped put across many new and complex ideas to the sea of blank faces that so often confronted him. Four hours weekly, the crude techniques carried over from Tech lab were polished and buffed to a high sheen. In addition to dispensing, he showed us his versatility and ability to fill in at all positions when he unraveled Tales of Emulsions and Colloid theory while teaching the first half of our Physical Pharmacy course, better known as Science Fiction II. BARRY H DASHOWITZ Though the dean was kept busy -most of the time outside of school, he did manage to meet with our class and display to us his large knowledge of pharmacy. No school could ask for nor boast of a finer dean, and we as students are most sorry to leave his domain. He has done much to spread the good name of Columbia Pharmacy throughout the land and his untiring efforts in soliciting funds for the new building have made us proud of him. We will always remember the snow storm when he called off classes because he couldn ' t make it in from Long Island. 16 E. EMERSON LEUALLEN

The Mr. Continental of CUCP, and man of many faces. Prof. Kanig came into our lives during the senior year with two strikes already against him. The year before had taught us all we had to know for most of his dispensing courses. Nonetheless he did manage to keep the classes attention during lectures with his somewhat devious methods — such as the dreaded list and sometimes just plain stares. As the year marked the entrance of a new member to his family, we did learn much about home- making and what those high priced baby prod- ucts really are made of. JOSEPH L. KANIG Experiments Orga As he stomped his way to and fro, leaning slightly to one side under the weight of wood on his shoulder, Mr. Kavaler every once in a while managed to get some law over to the class whenever he wasn ' t telling us to be quiet and to stop hissing. Throughout the entire course he covered more than 100 miles, prob- ably due to the fear that a man who stays in one place offers a better tatget. His course was one in which if you took your allowed number of cuts, it counted against you. With the words Just wait till you ' ll need me for legal advice, we bid him a very sad farewell.
