Vila lf. lghnrmarvuiiml Svnrivtg The Pharmaceutical Society Was organized in 1910. From only a few mem- bers it has developed into a society as large as any in the university. We have now about forty members who are full of life, ambition and ready to do anything for the Pharmacy College. We have very large meetings every two weeks when our business is attended to and at times prominent men speak to us on topics of in- terest in our line. From these talks we gain a great deal of information and they inspire in us a desire to be more enicient and do things that will place the pro- fession of pharmacy among the other leading professions. The aim of the Pharmaceutical Society is to bring the students into closer re- lationship with one another and to interest them in things of importance and of educational value in the way of pharmacy. During the first part of May each year We have what we call Pharmacy Week. During this Week We fly a large Pharmacy flag from the top of old U Hal1,g on Wednesday we have a banquet to which every druggist of the state is invited. This year we had a dinner, having about seventy-five people, where was displayed the usual pep and enthusiasm. On Thursday we have a special Pharmacy Convoca- tion When some important man is invited to talk. From there we go to lunch together and hear some very good toasts. The week is ended by having a picnic. If you don't think We have a good time, we ask you to come and see. We also publish our annual each year which is the only annual published by any one college on the campus. ln conclusion, the Pharmaceutical Society is a society that is intended to help place pharmacy on a higher scale and boost pharmacy at Nebraska. ,VW Qu'-

Pi Chapter of the University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy was granted a charter on March 22, 1912. The year 1916 Iinds Pi Chapter with a membership of fourteen active members and twelve honorary and faculty members, consisting of professors of Pharmacy and Chemistry and prominent druggists and chemist of the state. The aim of the organization is to further the interests of the Phar- macy profession, to promote a feeling of good fellowship, to elevate the scholarship and standing of the College in which it is interested, and as a means of helping the men to meet and mingle with those who have at- tained a high rank in Pharmacy in the United States. Semi-annual banquets are held, at which the new members meet the alumni, plan for the future and talk over the old times. The fraternity is a means of keeping the alumni in touch with the College, and stimu- lates an interest among these men, which is certainly benelicial to both Grand Council of the Fraternity was held at Minneapolis on the 7th, Sth and 9th of February, 1916, at which five of the boys of the local chap- ter attended. They were entertained by the Theta Chapter of the Uni- versity of Minnesota, visited the college of Pharmacy at that place, and all consider it a trip Well worth while. The 1917 meeting of the Grand Council will be held at Lincoln, at which there will be representatives from over the United States, and prep- aratlons are being made to entertain these fellows in such a royal manner that they will never forget Nebraska.
