- --8 DIDESCIQIDTC EC---' Dfs A New Fraternity Monuments of Jewish faith and brotherhood have been built for past cen-- turies and will continue to grow as long as the world endures. 'Here at the St. Louis- College of Pharmacy we are attempting to continue that splendid traditional record. An attempt is being made to establish a Jewish fra- ternity to stimulate friendship and brotherhood among the students. Wie have great expectations for this enterprise and together with the Chi Iota Phi, the fra- ternity now present at the College, it will afford students great opportunities to manifest their leadership and scholastic ability. The usual trend of thought of students entering here is, XVhat fraternity can I join ? or YN'ill my scholastic record be high enough for eligibility for this fraternity? In the past there was little or no opportunity for jewish students to enter outside activities, but now a promising young organization will make school life more interesting. It is our aim that the coming years will see established at our College a new Fraternity which will add one more to its record of successful chapters- of brother- hood. This great undertaking is bound to-meet with success, for its organization was accepted with great enthusiasm among the jewish members of all three classes, and, added to this, the faculty and board of trustees have given their support. VVe appreciate it greatly. Like all undertakings financing is required. This was started by planning a dance which will be held soon and, incidentally, the young men on the dance com- mittee are so enthusiastic and energetic that the writer believes that, when this goes to press. the dance will have gone down in the College history as one of the most successful dances ever given. The Chi Iota Phi and the new fraternity will work hand in hand, as Doctor W'endling said, in their efforts for the establishment of a universal fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man.

DDESCIQIDTU Iss--1--is Microns iXI if3 The Micron Laboratory located on the third floor of the Saint Louis College of Pharmacy in the spacious Advanced Pharmacognosy Laboratory, has been the scene of much activity during the scholastic year. Here with ample equipment, consisting of several new microscopes, a complete set of reagents and an extensive research laboratory, the students known as Microns are permitted to display their talents. Here, individuality is permitted to govern much of the Micron work. The student is given a thread, and is left upon his own resources to develop his subject. The Microns- have displayed much thought in their choice of courses during the year 1931-32. Each member has displayed a thoroughness of endeavor in his particular Held. The three active members, Miss Fitch, Miss Corbin and Mr. Vanderbeck are being directed in this work by Professor Suppan and his associates. Miss Dorothy Fitch has, through concentrated study, completed a general course in Microchemical analysis. She has followed in this course. a method for the Microscopic analysis of inorganic salts. By starting with as little as a crystal or two of a substance, she has learned to analyze it completely, Recently the con- -tents of a bottle, from a European Court Pharmacy, dating two centuries back, was given to her to analyze. After a careful examination she determined the nature of the contents. In spite of this lapse of two hundred years, when the bottle was originally filled, the analysis was successful. The second active member of this organization is Miss Ruth Corbin. She has been specializing in the Microchemistry of poisons from organic mixturesg and the detailed study of the nature, detection and Microscopical determination of the poisons in the Blood. Special emphasis has been given to arsenic cases, especially the diffusion of arsenic, in known victims of arsenic poisoning and to arsenic in medicines, fabrics and glass. Mr. Vanderbeck has carefully studied various powdered drugs, the most noteworthy of which are Pepper, Ginger, Belladonna, Stramonium and Cinchona. I-le has through his advanced work in histology become quite proficient in the niicroscopical detection of adulterated drugs. fs. fliqff 1' if -1 Page SixtyfTw0
