LOU COLUNI BRUCE ANDERSON VVho's WVho Among Students in American Universities and Colleges is an organization which annually publishes a directory of distin- guished students selected from its member institutions throughout the nation. Students recognized each year are nominated from approximately eight hundred colleges and univer- sities, and the nominating commit- tees are instructed to consider the candidateis scholarship, his partici- pation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, his citizenship and service to the school, and lastly, his promise of future usefulness. Fordham Pharmacy selections are made annually by the students of the Senior Class, naming a select group of individuals who have ful- lled the above requirements as deemed by their classmates. The organization presents its members with a certificate of achievement, a key, and a reference service for any future endeavors that they may undertake. Throughout the nation, Who's Who members are regarded with the prestige of honor and achievement, and we wish to salute those Seniors who have attained that recognition this year. i BILL CRIMMINS 71 .ui-YU.

Kosclamian I96 7 The name Cosdamian stems from the combination of the names of the two patron Saints of Pharmacy: Sts. Cosmos and Damian. As legend has it, they were the first to dedicate their lives to the science of healing their fellow men. However, we feel Cosdamkzn means something else. To us, Cosdamian means, shop for a printer, shop for a photographer, sign a contract, raise some money, start arguments, lay out dummy sheets, arrange for pictures, select pictures, tag pictures, crop pictures, caption pic- tures, type captions, indicate type size, sen out for coffee, lose sleep, cut classes, fail exams, be criticized, be censored, be calm, proof read everything, improvise, steal, get more coffee, please the faculty, please the stu- dents, resign yourself, meet a deadline, meet a dead staff member, hate the pressure, raise more money, take a Dex, say good morning to a rooster, redraw dummy sheets, go insane, beg, cry, and be calm, be strong, and be limited in the amount of space you have to tell what a yearbook is really like. 72 ,, F' ...E-K ,E , 1 S CA, pl!-J, Editor Bill Crimmins and Layout Man Dave Carey give a final check before a deadline.
