Dnfscinlnrclsc---f-1 The Alumni Association YXYFEXJ During the past year The Alumni Association of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy inaugerated a series of monthly lectures of a scientific nature which were given by members of the faculty and others prominent in the advancement of Pharmacy and its allied branches. Professor Carl G. Hinrichs delivered an interesting talk on Pharmacy, the Cradle of the Sciences, in which he illustrated how Pharmacy served as a foun- dation for botany and pharmacognosy, chemistry, physics, materia medica and pharmacology. He related that many outstanding scientists such as Scheele, Pelletier and Caventon were pharmacists. In the code of ethics of the Association, the United States Pharmacopoeia was adopted as a guide in the preparation of all medicines. NVith this thought in mind, Professor VV. C. Clark presented a convincing paper on HU. S. P. and N. F. Preparations. He outlined methods of popularizing these preparations and showed their value to the doctor, the patient and the pharmacist. In addition to these special lectures there are discussed all improvements in official formulae, manipulation, apparatus, and such useful hints as may have occurred in minds of the members from time to time in relation to their business, for the sake of adding to the general fund of knowledge and promoting the ad- vancement of the profession. On May 17, 1931, the Association lost one of its founders, Mr. Charles Gietner. He was an alumnus who was very active in the entire sphere of Pharmacy and held many positions of responsibility and importance in various pharmaceutical organizations. Mr. Gietner was an officer of the Alumni Association since its inception, serv- ing as recording secretary, as president in 1879 and as treasurer from 1890 until the time of his death. He was called the father of the Association by his fellow mem- bers. His ever activeness and integrity will serve as an ideal and stimulus to the members. VVe, the Alumni Association, extend to you, the graduates of 1932, a cordial welcome to our society for the advancement of our profession and the perpetuation of the pleasant associations formed during our college days. ...-I Qi I-... of 9' '1 -I f f ff v Page Sixty'Four
