E ARE at the point of graduation, a great pride, a greater wish and beatitude resides, no doubt, in each and every one of our hearts. However, before we dissemble and enter into the greater walks of life, before we endeavor to say au revoir to dear Temple, it is, 1 believe, indispensable that we make a survey of our stay in its halls. When first we met it was on the 20th day of September, 1926; our spirits were modulated as we stood, strangers to each other, bewildered, merely first-year men'' in the College of Pharmacy. But it was not long until each new acquaintance multiplying acquaintanceship, and all merging into friendship, we became a unit Dr. Frank Hobart Eby, in the upper amphitheatre of the Professional Building, gave us paternal advice and encouragement, and instilled in us the noble spirit of the University with a vivid background of Temple, past and present. The course of study for the Freshman year included Botany, Chemistry, Phar macy. Physiology, Commercial Subjects, Latin and Mathematics. The Pharmacy School is included in the group of Professional Schools of the University, and as such does not come under the Freshmen regulations prevalent at Broad and Berks. We were exceedingly fortunate, therefore, to escape the hazing of the upper classmen. Dr. Henry Boom, Professor of Physiology, was taken ill scarcely after our first week at school, and within a short period passed away. Although he was our Professor for so brief a time, his kind countenance, his friendliness and amiability will be remembered by the class. Dr. Boom was succeeded by Dr. B. Meade Wagenseller, a competent and ardent professor. Organization was quite necessary, and having a scant knowledge insofar as the aptitude of the various students was concerned as to who would be able leaders, we elected the following officers: Irving Kochinsky, president; Milton Eisenberg, vice-president; Agnes McHugh, secretary; Arthur Livingstone, treasurer. In general chemistry lecture, in which Professor James Connor Attix officiated, attendance was 100 per cent during the first few weeks. But after a short while many of the fearless ones took advantage of Dr. Attix’s good nature (for he never took the roll) and cut his classes. Soon these were followed by the less fearless ones, until at times Dr. Attix would be lecturing to but half a class. One day while cutting was at its height Drs. Attix, Schacterle and Rowcn triumphantly marched into the lower amphitheatre and announced a chemistry examination. This took us by surprise, because no one had anticipated an examination, at this hour at least. After it was all said and done we concluded that the examination wasn’t a walkover, but a complete slaughter. T verity-three
