MORTAR: Q; 8; PESTLE F oreworcl ortraylng in a simple manner, the story 7301C the Pharmacy Department for the past two years, we submit this book for your approval or disapproval We have tried, as accurately as possible, to depict those activities 0f the Department of Pharmacy, which, in future years, will serve to bring back memories of bygone days. If we have failed, our work accepts only the criticism merited of inability. If we have succeeded, we desire n0 praise, as we have only accomplished that object which we have set out to do. Order of Contents Faculty Seniors Freshman Athletics Staff Social Humor Advertisements Three MORTAR, C5; 8; PESTLE Dedication, T0 Dean Schichs In recognition of the whole-hearted cooperation and unselfish interest in. all matters with which he came in contact, do we, the Senior Class, afectionately dedicate this volume. n. DEAN coo. c. .um-Ls Just a few words of farewell to the first Senior class in Pharmacy under the new management. You know, of course, that this has been a year of transition for the school. For the administration it has been a year of endless tasks. I am. happy to say that your class, too, has not frittered away pricelesss time that opportunity has given you, but that you have worked hard; and may I in- cidentally ask you to be grateful to your teachers for having compelled you to do so? For, after all, it is work that brings success, and what is sweet- er than to taste of success? Most of you will now pass out of the life at school into the school of life. As you tread lifebs highway, seek- ing success in your chosen profession, may you not forget the school that has aimed to give you some of those assets which you need to make you truly useful; and, of course, useful- ness is one of the acid tests of true success. JOHN C. BAUR, Acting President. The University Valpa1aiso University was founded in 1873. by Henry Baker Brown, for the purpose of giving earnest and ambitious students an opportunity to obtain a thorough and practical education at the least possible expense. Under the careful guidance of Mr Brown, who served as president of the University until his death in 1917, and of Oliv er Perry Kinsey, the Vice- President from 1881 to 1919, the school prospered and in a course of time became one of the largest institutions of learning 1n the United States. Students from all parts of the world came to enjoy the educational adVantages offered by the University In the fall of 1925, the properties at V alpara1so were taken over by the Lutheran University Association to perpetuate the school and are being painstakingly managed for the benefit of the University, which has been dedicated by its new owners to the highest ideals in education. The organization of the University comprises the College of Arts and Science with special premedical, predental and prelegal curricula, the Teachers College, the School of Music the School of Pharmacy the Law School, the Engineering School, the Schoo1 of Commerce, and the University Preparatory School The equipment of the University includes fifteen buildings,f1fteen laboratories, general and departmental libraries, workshops a large dining hall, and an athletic field. The University is located at Valparaiso Indiana, a beautiful residence city forty miles southeast of Chicago. Valparaiso 15 situated 1n the midst of a rich farming country and lies adjacent to the greatest industrial region of the middle west. The city is on the main lines of three railways, the Pennsylvania, the Grand Trunk, and the New York Central and St. Louis tNickel P1ate1. It is also at the intersection of the Lincoln Highway and the Yellowstone Trail. The university campus by the way, borders on both highways near their inter- section. Valparaiso has many miles of paved and beautifullV shaded streets, and is equipped with every modern utility. Chicago, Gary, Hammond, Indiana Harbor, South Bend and other g1eat industrial Cities are within easy reach. Opportunities for employment at times when the student 1s not in residence are, therefore, ordinarily abundant Many students earn sufficient during the sum- mer to pay a goodly portion of their expenses for the year. T he School of Pharmacy The School of Pharmacy graduated its first class in 1893. It offers a thorough and practical training in all subjects pertaining to pharmacy, and prepares students for the various duties of prescriptionists. manufacturing chemists, food and drug inspectors, analysts in pharmaceutical lines of research, and for general analytical work in various f1elds of industrial chemistry. The stringent laws governing pharmacists, the Federal Pure Food and Drug Act, and similar state statutes. as well as a general public awakening to the need of technical training for pharmacists, have made demands upon the men and women of this important profession, which can be met only by college trained pharmacists It is the aim and desire of Valparaiso s School of Pharmacy to promote the WW best interest of pharmaceutical education and to cooperate with other educational institutions, State Boards of Pharmacy, and pharmaceutical associations in maintaining the highest standard for the pro- fession. Eight Life I rest here atthinking I know not of what, Perhaps of the future, My is-to-be lot. The future, the misted; Our goal is unknown, Except by the High One He knows it alone. What is a human? Of matter a mass, Is gifted with life Which from ,liS must pass. Control life we cannot, Just live it alone. So with all creatures; Even with stone. Fate has its ways, Some fair, some cruel. To frown is no count, 'Tis an age old rule. Now fellow beings Question not fate: Live your life purely, For later's, too late. J. B. Brozowsky. MORTAR, Q; 8: PESTLE W'c, as the Senior Class, wish to take this opportunity to exfress our sincere gratefuln-ess and appreciation for the true interest taken in each in- dividual 0f the Pharmacy Class by the Faculty during our two years as stu- dents in the University. It has been obvious to us all that the Faculty has generously collabo- rated with us in each and every mat- ter concerning the Department of Pharmacy in all of its activities, and we, as Graduates, earnestly hope that their cforts have not been in train.

Thirln'n F ourteen To the Senior Class: The time of graduation is exhilarat- ing, it is sweet, it is the reward of work well done, yet it is tinctured, to a certain extent, with a sadness that will soon materialize into cherished. memories. We have tried to start you on a straight line to follow the pathways of a noble profession, and you have been buoyed up by a thorough training and guidance. N 0w, you mum step out with a steadfast confidence in human- ity and in yourself to conquer the 0b- stacles that make life worth living. Tackle each job that confronts you with a dogged determination to ful- fill its duties and the obstacles entailed therein will level down like a hill as you approach its summit. Roihember that Old Valpo and her teachers have not lost interest in you because you have graduated. Their best wishes go with you that you may reap the further rewards of a well spent life. Radiate the true rlPharmic Stiritll that has permeated these halls to your fellowmeu and live such a life that it may bring honor to yourself and a deeper love for your Alma M ater. GEO. C.

'llzzr. ::112.' j Class History HE historian of the Pharmacy class of 1926 was approached recently I by Hthe keeper of the ages, asking IWivhat has your class done with the two golden years I entrusted to its members ?il Proudly and gladly does she answer: iiOh! most venerable custodian well and profitably have we spent the tirne. It is a wonderful journey, we have taken over Pharmacyis Highway, and herewith we present our record, one that will be satisfactory to you, pleas- ing to us, gratifying to the world and inspiring to future generations. September, 1924, was the time set for the meeting of those who wished to take the trip. At the appointed hour it seemed as though all roads instead of leading to Rome led to Valparaiso. Almost every state in the Union furnished a quota of bright young men and there were a few young ladies brave enough to dare to go where their sex had sent few pioneers. In all there were about one hundred passengers eager for the start. At the registrafs oHice in exchange for some few paltry dollars we were given, not a ticket but a receipt which we were assured would provide us with everything we needed for a given time and this included a most reputable guide. We were here told to assemble in room H of the Science Hall to make the acquaintance of the one who was to direct our faltering footsteps over the perilous way we knew we were to travel. Our high spirits were undaunted and when we were introduced to our leader, Dean Muldoon, we were all chafing to be on our way. But ere we started he explained fully the trials that awaited us. The way would be hard and rough ; our path beset with the terrors of discouragement; the days would be filled with hardships and our refreshing slumbers broken by terrible dreams of demons he called Cs and Dis. But he held out to us the bright and shining reward that is given at the end of the trail and rallied our sinking hearts by adding that the prize more than compensated for all our dis- heartening labors. To encourage us he said there would be times along the way when our path would cross that of the crowd that had started the previous year. On such occasions the tWo struggling bands celebrated. They mingled together in gay sports but even with the gayety the younger could learn much from those who had traversed the route we were following. They would warn us of the pitfalls that awaited and from sad experience could tell us how we might be spared much sorrow and trouble. In closing he added that for years there had been an annual Hegira over this same highway, that few had fallen by the wayside and that by hard work and perseverance there was always a goodly number that IIfmished the coursed and went forth into the world to make life fuller and better for their experience. At his conclusion we realized that we were not to hnd roses strewn all along our pathway nor would there always be laughter and song. But we had come here of our own choice and we dared not complain at any trial that awaited us. Were time and space granted, gladly would we tell of every days experi- ence as they are written on our memory in letters of fire but tribulations have a tendency to sadde-n so why dwell on them? Sufhce to say unflinchingly we braved them all and survived to make this report. In passing we would tell of the happy events that took our minds aan from the serious aspects leaving in their place good cheer and joy. . Early in the fall we received word by a herald from the camp of the class of 25 that our ways would cross on a certain evening, and that we would celebrate in what they termed a Pharmic Mixer? Eagerly we awaited night- Forty MORTAR; T fall of the appointed time, and lo !the conquering heroes come! But not with lordly over bearing nilen; rather w1th hearts overflowing with kindness, tender- ness and con51derat10n. They endeavored only to make us happy, to make us forget our trouble, to send us on our way rejoicing and they accomplished just What they planned. Anxiously we looked forward to the time when by chance we would meet them again when we might return the hospitality and good cheer they had tendered us. ' The occasion came February 20, 1925, when the younger crowd had an opportunity to entertain them at a Pharmic Dance. Gorgeous decorations, delightful favors and splendid music combined with the exuberant spirits of the sponsors made it an evening never to be forgotten. The first year slipped swiftly by. The second week in June came when the party disbanded for two months, rest and llRest, ah in truthll it was needed. September found us all back at the meeting place refreshed and ready for action. On arriving we were saddened to learn that our trustworthy guide had left us going to a larger held. More than ever before we began to realize what his watchful care had meant to us. He was not the familiar type that is an open book on the first meeting. Instead our acquaintance with him grew slowly and resulted in an immeasurable appreciation and fondness for him. We knew though that tlour loss was some one,s gain so we rejoiced with him in his achievement and whole heartedly welcomed the new leader, Dean Schick's. Every one had learned to appreciate him in the prevmus year for his kindly assistance over rough places, his encouraging words and his genial friendliness that had never failed to help us. We were starting our second year full of courage and a wonderful faith in the future. We recalled the friendly aid given to us by the Seniors so our first thought was to plan a llget-to-gether with the new journeymen. W'e were the ones who were holding high the torch of leadership and we must do. as we were done by. On October 11, 1925, we met our co-travelers in one Jolly evening. Such gay hours were spent at this Parmic mixer that for days after some weary one would suddenly break out in laughter recalling some Jolly prank of that happy event. The Spring of 1926 our trail took us through the city of Indianapolis. Here we had a diversion which will ever be remembered. The entire crowd was the guest of the Eli Lilly Drug Co. and right royally we were entertained.

Then the debut of such erudite wizards of therapy and dispensing into the field of pharmacy will be as important a date in the United States history as October 12, 1492, or July 4, 1776. Names like Schicks, Cox, Weida, etc., will be as inspiring as Wilkes Booth, Mussolini, and Trotzky. If this be treason, make the most of it. The year 1946, the twentieth anniversary of our departure from Alma, Mater, reveals to us these facts. There has been a reconstruction of the old V. U. Administration Building. In the general assembly there is being held a reunion of the class 0f 26. Mr. Charles Kessler presides at this assembly and explains that roll call will be taken. Each member present responds with a short talk or paper representative of his particular held of pharmacal advance at this time. Mr. Kessler states that as bricklaying is not usually classed as a pharmaceutical vocation, he is unable to talk on any subject of interest to pharmacists.

Charlie Thune was a very big lad, He wasnlt so good nor was he bad. Miss Lechlinski, was the Deans right hand man, For so much disguise there should be a ban. Schwartz was so honest, one could tell by his face, Yet we all wonder, where he got all the As. Recall the man you all hated to see, When Reback tried hard to get your annual fee.

Wagner and Allatch, tried so. hard to bluff, So of them I think, that Ilve said enough. Blau wasrft bad, though he goes to Gary, Due to a girl, that he wants to marry. Prezorski and Srutwa are well worth praisng, Students though married are very amazing. Saretsky and Patt, tried so hard to show, The twist of a card and fake that they know. Stitzer played villain, but who knew him so, He had many friends, but never a foe. Arnold was Captain, of the Pharmic Five, With skillful playing, held keep us alive.

Gumowski and Miller would rather read mail, But were never known, in their studies to fail. Garofalo and Loy, came from the East, And talk about food, oh, how they can feast. At times Margolis would come to the scene, He wasnlt much heard but was always seen. Potkin, Dubow and Seidmon, were friends three, And they were together and true they would be.

MORTAR, d 8c PESTLE The Verdant Freshmanis Idea of Pharmacy E of the Freshman Class of the Pharmacy School of Valparaiso Uni- versity, will unanimously, honestly admit, that ere the first day of our college career had passed our ideas of Pharmacy have been greatly altered. Every Freshman gentleman, remembers the day he dropped in to the corner drug store for his daily Bromo-Seltzer and encountered the charming and efficient new lady druggist and instantly decided on his life occupation. Every Pharmic lady also recalls the day she so leisurely sauntered into the village pharmacy to purchase her week,s supply of cosmetics and beheld the slick, new, just out of college pharmic to give her service, and alas, she also gave herself to the splendid profession, and incidentally increased the sales for that store from then on. Pharmacy-we did not know the scope of that word. We knew it had something to do with pills, plasters, etc., but we felt that we were competent to wrap up a bottle of Pisois Cough Syrup and smilingly assure a fond parent it would cure any cough from baby up to grandmother. And we were con- vinced we could sell the firms best Corn remedy to any old maid of the village and without the quiver of an eyelash, assure her a speedy relief in just a few days. With these cherished hopes in mind we registered with the Valparaiso College of Pharmacy and in this respect displayed splendid judgment. Know- ing we had one of the best, if not the best School of Pharmacy in the United States backing us, we had visions of revising the ninth Pharmacopeia ourselves. Gazing over our course of studies we noted that we would have a course in Pharmaceutical Latin. Ordinarily that word Pharmaceutical should have daunted our spirits, but we felt our tussle with Caeserls Bridge of High School days would make this course a snap. Going further we came to the words Inorganic Chemistry. here we hesitated, brought forth our dictionaries and proceeded to find the meaning of these words. Our minds not clearing on our investigation we hastened on and came to Botany. Here we were on familiar grounds. We all had gathered dandelions and violets every spring so this did not give us any worries. At last the word Pharmacy appeared. Here we knew we would excel even though Arny,s big book looked as huge as Sears Roebuckis catalogue. With an armful of books and smiling faces we delved into the recesses of Pharmacy. Under Prof. Weems we soon learned Botany did not consist of picking daisies on the hillside. Prof. Cox dealt with us in Pharmacy. Where did the selling of pills and plasters come in Pharmacy? More liken it :0 ahwitness stand with 21 learned Professor tiring questions at pitifully ignorant res men. . After three weeks of hard labor we were at last able to pronounce Histo- logical Pharmacognosy, and Prof. Schicks is conscientiously aiding us to acquire a love for the subject, but cautioning us that our drawings must not resemble cross word puzzles. One term has expired and with each day, as we acquire more knowledge, we reahze how meager IS our store. How great is the field we have chosen and the many splendid opportunities it affords. tContinued on page 58l Fifty-six MORTAR, Cg; Reminiscences of My First Days at Valpo. WELL recall With what timidity and misgivings I entered High School; yet, 1n my comlng to Valparaiso University, I had none of that spirit, . but an intense eagerness to enter college life. f1 shall have some of this extremely nalve trustfulness taken from me ere I am graduatedJ Valpo stood out,.a.nd still does, as the big thing in my mind, and it was with consid- erable antICIpatlon that I awaited my arrival here one afternoon late in Sep- tember, 1925. After completing the preliminary arrangements with Miss Corboy, I was about to leave Musu: Hall, when along came an imposing and, I thought, austere gentleman With a slightly shorter man in tow. Miss Corboy intro- duced me immediately and thus I first became acquainted with Dean Schicks and Professor Hershman. ' Dean Schicks well recalled my name, for we had carried on more or less correspondence previous to my coming, and he made my welcome a warm one. It was not the same sort of welcome which a sixteen year old flapper receives 0n tiptoeing into the parental domicile at three ollclock in the morn- ing, but it was no less rousing. I was immediately taken for a tour of inspec- tion to the Science Building. Professor Hershman did not accompany us or I should doubtless have been informed that the time was near when the name ffPharmacy Building would have been more appropriate. Here? said the Dean, His the Quantitative lab; here is the physics lecture room and lab fthis last in an indifferent tonel; and this is the chemistry lecture room; downstairs is the chemistry lab., for inorganic and qualitative analvsis. We ascended the stairs, and I was permitted to peer into the Materia Medica room, the pharmacognosy lab., and the pharmacy lab. Little did I dream then that the same ffMaterier Medicer room would soon afterward become a court-room, where, under the all-too-expert guidance of Professor Cox, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth would come out. How little did I know that I would soon come to know that the most-used word in the pharmaceutical dictionary was an every-day stock expression; Professor Coxls ffWHY ? I shall never forget the surprise which the freshman class caused Dean Neet as we went for our first English I lesson. The schedule had announced that the class would assemble in Room 104 of the Commercial Building; we did not know what to expect as to our professor. At the 8:07 bell, a grave, mild mannered man stepped to the platform and remarked that he wondered if all of us were pSychology students. Nearly seventy-five. per cent of the class then arose, and we informed the Dean that we imagined ourselves to be in the English Class. He then informed us that Room 105 was the proper place for us. And so to the psychology class .was lost about twcnty-five druggists ffuturel; twenty-five future psychologists entered the next room and enrolled with. Mrs. Benham, and embarked for better or worse upon a career in Freshman English. Our first davs must have caused the professors more or less exaspera- tion, and certainly at times, considerable amusement. Professor Cox certainly received replies not to be found in any edition of the U. S. P. pr Ix. Ia, Dispensatory, or anywhere else. But, the patience of the faculty had its reward and now we have started well on our way to our goal. Fifty-srt'cu Q11 p? - MORTAR, $43 8: PESTLE If I had any doubts as to whether the Pharmacy School ffmeant business, they were soon dispelled, especially by Professor Cox. For the first week or two I was very much interested in the pictures on the wall of the Materia Medica room, a veritable ffRoguesl Gallery? This was decidedly detrimental to my work, but I soon had the fact indelibly placed on my mind that I could not do two things at one timeethe pictures had to be forsaken for Amy. . None of us were allowed to proceed very long without the guidance and tutorship of some Senior. I was the special ward of Mr. Daly, who, very shortly after my arrival, began to acquaint me with the ffups and downslf of the Pharmacy School. If any other Freshmen had the expert informants that I had, we owe a great deal to the fatherly interest of the older brethren. Dean Schicks, in our first Pharmaceutical Association meeting, introduced to ,us the justly famous HPhamiic Spirit? a thing seemingly intangible but certainly omnipresent on the Hill. The first social event-the Pharmic Mixer -with the inimitable leubbles Fifield, and the rest of the cohorts, gave us a thrill, never to be forgotten. If we shall ever equal the class spirit of the graduating class, we certainly shall have to exhibit an amount of pep hitherto unheard of-and this ought to be our goal. Every time I feel as though the work is being piled on too heavily, I force myself to contemplate what it means to be enrolled in our Department --then the ffblues depart. The true spirit is a cure for do-wnheartedness; no one can be a real Pharmic and fail to be a staunch supporter of the old school. For the good of our class, I sincerely hope the time will shortly come when the spirit of the Freshmen Class will equal that displayed by the Seniors; then the Seniors can proudly pat their backs and receive praise for the good example set. MR. AUSTIN DODGE. THE VERDANT FRESHMANIS IDEA OF PHARMACY Continued from page 56 Quoting to you from. personal advice given to me by a druggist with 43 years active experience. Pharmacy is not considered the greatest profession, though I think it should be, and it is every concientious pharmacistis duty to make it so. And a word of encouragement to the beginner are the following lines: Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt, nothing is so hard but search will find it out. S. M. LORTz.

His work has been that Old steady clear-headed play that has been an inspiration to his team- mates and a credit to the Pharmacy School. His record shows him to be a clean, hard fighting, brainy player. Coupled with this, he is one of the outstanding students in all his work in the Phar- macy department. Arnold will be back next year to take advanced pharmacy and to show the other departments some advanced basketball. ANGELO DICELLO-Guard. Dicello was the man to break up the opponents plays and t0 dribble t0 the center of the floor l and shoot the ball to one of the forwards. An exceptional dribbler and cool headed 1 player at all times. He furnished the fans ' i with many thrills when he would grab the ball , and dribble zig zag fashion through the entire team and sink a short shot in the basket. He gave the team an aggressive punch and started successful passing attacks. DICK EARLY-Center. , Dick is the scrappiest left hander that ever donned a Gold and Blue uniform. He was iiall fight during the whole game. Although less than six feet tall, he invariably got the tip off on the opposing center. ltDutchll could work his way through the thickest jam and be counted 011 to come out with the ball. He could be depended on to make a basket when one was needed to cinch a game. Dick was at his best on the floor and never shot until he was in the right place. A very dependable player that is lost by graduation. MORTAR; CED ACKIEi, FLINT-Captain electeGuard. Flintis natural ability to pass the ball and keep the opponents from ever getting loose under the pharmic goal caused him to be rightly termed the best back guard seen on the local floor this season. His absolute calm and ability to get the ball started toward the opponents goal was one of the outstanding features of the pharmic team. Ackie played good ball all season and it was a sad day for the Pharmics when an injured thumb necessitated his absence for the last three games of the season. Flint is our captain for next year and with his brains and all around courage he will make an exceptional leader for the Gold and Blue. WILLIAM VANCEhForward. Bill was an exceptional man when it came to passing and was a good running mate for Arnold and Early. A very deceptive player and one to be counted on to pass the ball to the man that was loose under the basket. Although of light stature, he easily made up for this with his fight- ing spirit and Hnever say dieh attitude. Bill will, be lost by graduation, and is a hard man to re- place. KALEEL-Coach. The Pharmics were very fortunate in securing Billl, Kaleel for coach this year, he is a former member of the Varsity Five and the man that produced the winning team of last year. Kaleel took painstaking care with each man and developed him along into the position where he would be more effective. He then took the individuals and molded them into a smooth work- ing machine with each man understanding what he was to do next. Coach Kaleel not only coached the men during the practice hours allotted to the team, but took extra time for chalk talks and individual instruc- tion. - Sixty-two The Basketball Games The Pharmics j ourneyed to Boone Grove to engage in battle with the Porter County Champions in a practice game. The Boone Grove Quintet had the ad- vantage of two months practice and a team that had played together for three successive seasons, despite this fact the Pharmics emerged victorious by a small margin. .The second game with the Boone Grove team at the enemies camp was a Victory for the Pharmics who showed much improvement in their game and ability to hit the basket from any angle. The combination of Arnold, Early, Flint, Vance and Dicello was working perfectly and in midseason form. The Pharmics wasted very little time in superfluous passing around the center of the floor. The Pharmics played their first Inter-departmental game against the team from the school of Arts and Science. This game was full of spirited fight especially on the part of the Pharmics who w0n handily 21-8. The next victims on the Fighting Pharmics program was the Educational team. The score at half time was 7 to 0 in favor of the Pharmics. The out- come was never in doubt after the hrst 5 minutes of play when Vance D'icello, and Flint looped the leather through the basket for two points each. The linal count was 14-7 in favor of the Pharmics. The Pharmics got their first setback of the season from the Commercial team who seemed to have a charm on the ball and their eyes on the basket. The game was played on a Thursday night after the Pharmics had been on the run all day rolling pills and seeking the unknown in the form of alkaloids. The Gold and Blue were trailing at half time by a score of 6-3, but came back strong in the second chapter and tied the score with two baskets and a charity toss in the first four minutes of the play. T hey could not keep up the fast pace and the final score was 15 to 8 with the elated Commercial school on the long end. Friday night the Fighting Pharmics in search of Arson, Murder, Mayhem or what have you? came back strong and defeated the astonished Preps to the tune of 16 to 7. . This game put the Inter-departmental League in a triple tie for first place with the Pharmics, Lawyers and Commercial schools topping Old Man Percene tagels column. Although the Pharmics sell dice and other home necessities, the words 7 and 11 were not soothing words to our ears after the Pharmics-Lawyersl game. This game was a battle from start to finish and at half time the score was Pharmics 4 and Lawyers 3 and everybody happy, but anything can happen in the closing chapter and it did, the Pharmics lost by a 11 to 7 score. Feeling was running high in this game because of lasts yearls tussle, when the Lawyers quit the floor in the first half, when they were trailing the Pharmics by a large margin. 'The cause of the llscenell was a decision by Coach Brown of the Local High School. There was a bountiful sufficiency of personal fouls with the Lawyers leading in this phase of the game also by 7 to 3. The Engineer-Pharmic game was a long distance shooting affair in which the Engineers connected with the basket the most times from the center of the lloor. Arnold was the high scorer of the Gold and Blue aggregation with 4 baskets and 1 charity toss, while Goodman was the best bet for the Engineers with 6 baskets and a f ree throw. tContinued on page 640 MORTAR; CE; 8: PESTLE Jag!

XiJ'UHHH'ur MORTAR, Cg; 8: PESTLE Baseball Games, First Game The Seniors 0f 25 were at the point at which it was hard for them to find room for the Frosh in Science Hall or elsewhere. As the Frosh had them so badly outnumbered that a class fight was out Of the question, it was decided by unbiased parties that a game of baseball be played to decide just who did actually run things around the Pharmic department. This was agreed to by both classes and the entire Pharmacy department gathered at Brown held to see and participate in the battle for supremacy. Much talent was displayed by both sides, improving as the game grew older, and the catching or missing of a ball meaning defeat 0r victory. The action of the players would have been a source of joy to the much touted John J. McGraw especially as he was much in need of some ball players at this time. ' Angelo Dicello, the curve artist supreme, was on the mound for the Frosh, and caused the Seniors. to fan the well known atmosphere several times when a hit meant victory. Arnold, the Million Dollar find from the wide open spaces of Nebraska, was on the receiving end until an injured finger neces- sitated his removal from the fray. Arnold was replaced by Dyche and hostili- ties were renewed. The game was close throughout and was only lost in the last half of the concluding frame when a bad heave t0 the home platter gave the Seniors a lone tally that broke the 3-3 tie that had lasted the three preceding innings. The Seniors won 4-3, There were plenty of brilliant catches and long hits to keep the crowd in good spirits and howling the entire game. Outfielder Early figured largely in the good catches in the outfield. Due to his ability to handle the pill and peg it home with plenty of pep from his portside, he helped to keep the score 10w. Garafola did some good work at short and started a double play in the eighthsGarafola t0 Dyche tlst bj t0 Vance t3rd bQ-that prevented some scoring that the faltering Seniors needed badly. The Frosh believing that Lady Luck had badly mistreated them challenged the Seniors to a return game to be played two days later which the Seniors accepted readily but due to the arnica bottle and other muscle anodynes playing out before all muscles were in shape for a battle, it was decided to have the game one week later at the same place of hostilities namely, Brown Field. tContinued from page 63 The final score was Engineers 21, Pharmics 17. Coach Kaleel was confronted with a hard problem when he started in to pick the first team, because there were over 25 men working for a regular berth 0n the team and the fmal 10 that were not eliminated we're all good basketball players. When Flint was injured, Thune stepped in and the team functioned as smoothly as ever. Miller and Patt were in reserve and could go in at any time during the fray and keep the team going at its fastest pace. When a forward was wanted, Salerno was put in and handled the position . in a creditable manner Much credit is due these men for going out and keeping the team in good shape and furnishing them with the best possible opposition during the practice sessmns. Sixty-four MORTAR CED 8L PESTLE Second Game The Seniors and Freshmen met for their second game on a pretty June day last sprlng with very determined looking Frosh; they looked like thev were out for blood or scalps or any other obstacle that might happen in their way to Victory. The Seniors were there to repeat their victory of the previous week over the younger men and looked dignified and serene in their purpose as Is the p'rescrlbed way for Seniors to look. This game was full of interest to the Pharmics as the preceding game had been played over orally several times in the labs and various abodes of the men. It was estimated that Ozone Youngerman had won the first game over 20 times via the oral route and he also won the second game inning by inning from seven irate Seniors who were prone to argue the game with him. The game divulged much more baseball than the previous game and there was team work of good caliber displayed by both teams. There was plenty of good work with the stick and neat base running. Those especially crafty on the bases were Glaitt for the Seniors and Arnold and Dyche for the Freshmen. Double playis were a feature of this game. Three were executed by the Fresh- men. Arnold started two from second base. Arnold to Dyche to Vance and Arnold to Vance to Garafolo, S., when Garafolo covered second. The third came in the sixth inning when Dyche stabbed a line drive and tossed it to Arnold Who tagged second and caught Taylor too far from the bag to get back safely. Chlebowski started on the mound for the Seniors but was relieved by Taylor in the fifth frame. Taylor was unable to stop the hard hitting Yearlings and didrft get good support from his outfield. Thompson of the graduating class did some neat work behind the bat and also led the Seniors in their hat attack. The turning point of the game came in the seventh inning when Miller, C. hit safely over short and was followed by Prezorskiis single to right and Dicello getting on first on a muffed ball at short; Dyche followed With a three base hit to left and this blow was followed by a circuit clout by Arnold. Vance and Garafolo played their usual good game at thirtl and short. Arnold was a second Rogers Homsby at the keystone sack and With the stick. Prezorski made the fans think that Tyrus Cobb was doingr his daily worlc in center field. Early had also trained his eyes on pills so much in the prevxous week that the horse hide coated pill, vulgarly called a baseball, couldn't escape pastright field if it had had wings. When the final curtain had descended and the. Fmsh were cxultating in their 10-4 victory, the Seniors challenged the Yearlmgs to another game, but it was never played. . , Thus ended the baseball season for the Pharmic Class of 25.

It is patterned after the American Pharmaceutical Association, and aims to stimulate interest in professional pharmacy and to promote good fellowship among the students of the school. It is entirely a student organization although under the supervision of the Pharmacy School faculty. Student officers are elected at the Commence- ment of each term. Semi-monthly meetings are held at which papers dealing with subjects of interest to the Pharmacist are read. Lectures are given by distinguished personages 0f the business and scientific world. Through the medium of this organization the social functions of the Pharmacy School are advanced. Outstanding social functions of the year were the Pharmic Mixer held early in the Fall as a reception to the Freshman class; the Pharmic Banquet held April 7th, honoring the members of the Pharmacy Basketball Team; and the Pharmic Dance, held in the Spring quarter. The Association pledged itself 100 per cent to the Building Fund 0f the American Pharmaceutical Association. The splendid Pharmaceutical Library in Science Hall is another evidence of the work of this organization. The association is instrumental in developing a loyal university depart- ment spirit among its members and that, thoroughly accomplished, achieves the aim of the organization. 5 even I y .S'rrmty-unv war .1 - EIEl . MORTAR, CE; 8; PESTLE Seventy-two Valpo,s Most Beautiful Co-Ed Miss Esther Barney In the recent election sponsored by the Torch, Miss Esther Barney, a stu- dent in the Department of Pharmacy, carried away the honors by an enor- mous majority because of her popu- larity and democratic nature. Considerable interest and enthu- iasm had characterized the progress of this move by the Torch, although it was an initial undertaking of this nature. The Department of Pharmacy, as a whole, wishes to congratulate Miss Barney for this distinetion. That others were interested in this electimi was martifested in the fact that Miss Barney received many beautiful pres- ents from numerous merchants in Valparaiso.

It not only serves a practical purpose but also one of beauty. It is located in the rear of the Pharmacy Building, covering a large stretch of land. Its close proximity to the School makes it particularly advantageous, for classes are required to attend demonstrations and lectures in this garden, which necessitates the loss of very little time from, the class room to the garden. Over a hundred varieties of plants are grown and cultivated for use in pharmacy. Students actually plant an acre for this herbarium, thereby giving an opportunity to watch the growth of the drug ' from the planting of the seed in the earth to its maturity. At the proper time, students are required to harvest and prepare the drugs for use. Being in the locality of the famous sand dunes, which represents one of the greatest natural Horas of plants in this country, serves as an admirable source of supply for the transplanting and cultivating of many wild drugs. It has been found that a wide variety of plants may be grown in the University drug garden because of the greatly varied conditions, such as full sun to full shade. many kinds of soil and different amounts. of moisture. Many problems of scientific research are constantly being carried on thru the aid of this garden. A large part of the drugs used in the compounding of prescriptions in the pharmacy department are obtained from this source of supply. Seventy-four -lElEL 5c: '01 ty-five VALP.0 MORTAR, Cg pharmics Banquetecl With what was destined to again reiiect credit upon the department, the School of Pharmacy on Wednesday evening, April 7, tendered, in a novel way, a banquet t0 the basketball team representing their body. W ith the characteristic thoroughness which accompanies the affairs given by the Phar- mics, Altruria dining hall was duly decorated for the occasion with the gold and blue colors of the department. Dean Schicks eulogized the enthusiasm and morals 0f the pill dodgers, emphasizing the fact that the loss of the cup was not regretted in the face of the spirited efforts against unusually strong departmental contestants. Com- plimenting the teamis captain, he introduced Mr. D. A. Arnold, who thanked the team, composed of Dicello, Early, Flint, Vance, Thune, Marquardt, Patt, Miller, Falbo, Salerno and Daley iManagery, for their efforts. Coach Kaleel, in his characteristic manner, expressed his thanks to the team and t0 the de- partment for its support and co-operation throughout the season. Professors Cox, Lewis, Hershman and VVelch replied brieHy t0 the in- troductions by Dean Schicks, extolling in humorous fashion, replete with jokes, the characteristic qualities of these faculty members. The Collegian Orchestra opened the festivities with their merry syncopa- tions, followed by Mr. Charles Bricker presenting saxophone specialties, and selections on the Hawaiian guitar by Mr. Daniel P. Balais accompanying him- self in his portrayal of modern dance crazes. A new ensemble among Pharmic groups is the Pharmic Chanters, an or- gariization devoted to rendering characteristic how-de-do songs, with Mr. Zybell the piano accompanist. Mr. Milton M. Glatt, an alumnus of the class 0f 25 and a member of last years team, came from Chicago to give his conception of rythmic melody 0n the piano. H15 comlc vocal renditions induced many enco-res. An unusual feature in the odd programs, which contained composite pic- tures of the team, was the menu, written in pharmaceutical Latin. This in- duced much comment. With loud cheering, led by Leaders Jones and Reback, the evening closed on what was to be remembered as a happy event. $ Sezzcnty-six Ewi i7 I Ts ttsnlv - nun-ua-nuy.:li;ir-..mr'.p.- --M,.;.r..:svg,umx$a ,, , W V- .,. .. , a $uusstxu-mmwuqv.vuisVthVsisVss sh sV HARMACY and medicine had a common origin in the fetichtic philosophy of the savage, which recognized a soul in every inanimate object. Disease was the soul of one object attacking another, and to destroy this malign infiuence, noises, smell and contortions were employed, such as are still used by the Medicine Men of the savages of today. The fact was empirically ascertained that herbs had beneficent properties which were at first explained on the fetichtic philosophy. On this double basis of empericism and a fanciful philosophy developed pharmacy and all of the allied sciences. Religion at this . period was based upon the same confusion of facts and superstitions. For a long period the religious incantation formed the chief part in the treatment of disease. The chanter of magical songs occupied a higher place than the physi- cian who applied the remedy. This relationship was later removed, but not without considerable difficulty. Two Cuneiform inscriptions in ASSyria cone tain a complete history of this evolution. The earlier inscriptions give a prom- inent place to charms and incantations in medicine. The latter tB. C. 1640i contain references to classified diseases, their pathology, diagnosis and treat- ment, including directions for the preparation of medicine. One inscription, for example, directs the preparation of a prescription for a diseased gall bladder which devours the top of a mans heart; Cypress extract, goats milk, palm Wine, barley, ox and bear Hesh, and the wine of the Cellarer, are directed to be made into a decoction by a medical specialist clearly practicing pharmacy. The researches of Ebers leave little doubt that pharmacy was practiced by one branch of the priesthood of Isis, to whom prescriptions were sent by the physlician-priest, who accompanied by a chanter of htames, or charmes, attended the sick. ' Some of the Egyptian inscriptions indicate that processes akin to distilling were practiced. How far this inHuenced the later discoveries of the Arabian chemist is an open question, however pharmaCy early attained .a relatlyely great development among the Egyptians. A Papyrus of the'reign of Sent 0300 B. CJ gives direction as to the preparation of prescriptions. by 1609 B. C. pharmacy was as far advanced among the Egyptians as at the time ot Galen Claudius tZOO A. DJ. In the Eberspapyri U600 B. CJ 1s a formulary containing prescriptions of famoqsphysmlans. Among these are several of a noted Assyrian Opthalmologist 11v1ng near Mt. Lebanon. Draughts, blisters, powders, ointments and clysters are the Chlef preparations mentionetl; M meral and vegetable drugs are used. Thatlthe tart of the apothecary, however. already existed among the Assyrians 18 shown by those pI'CSCI'IptIOHS: as well as the inscriptions in Cuneiform letters Wthh give formulae for various dls- eases. Sct'me-srz'm The Hebrews, from their association with the Egyptians and Assyrians, imbibed a taste for pharmacal and medical studies, and the hart of the apothe- cary is spoken of very early in the old Testament history. This bias the - Hebrews neyer lost. They had a medical school of their own at Sora as late as 200 A. D. The influence of the Cushito-Aryan civilization, which showed itself .in the wisdom of the Assyrians, left an impress on Central Asia evident in the early development of pharmaCy among the Chinese, for Ching N-ong, a con- temporary of Menes I of Egypt, was learned in pharmacy. He studied botany and made decoctions and extracts. The Chinese drug store of today gives an idea of the pharmacy as practiced for centuries among these people. The extensive materia medica of the Aryans and the Sanscript code of ethics show that the apothecaryis art was in high esteem. The doctrine of transmigration of souls, as it limited the field of surgery, gave increased im- portance to pharmacology, botany and the preparation of drugs. The Greeks from an early period, like most Aryan people, had a tinge of pharmacal knowledge, shown by the instruction given the Centaurs to the various gods and heroes. Pharmacy among the Greeks was stimulated by the necessity of the addition to the incantations of the priests. The mixed religious and medical procedures in the marvels recorded in the temples of Hygeia and Aesculapius indicate this. An additional stimulus was given by the use of poison by the state for public execution, and the necessity the fair sex felt of adding to their attractions. This branch of pharmacy has survived even to the present day in the cosmetics so largely in demand among all castes. The cos- metic art was advanced by Cleopatra, by Berenice and Arsenoea, who dabbled in this branch of pharmacy of the period. In the temples of Aesculapius the art of medicine became somewhat systematized; pharmacy resided within the walls, while the physician went forth among the people. This was the first step toward the development of the present day pharmacy. This is evident from many of the facts cited by Hippocrates tB. C. 460-570y, who gathered up many of the observations recorded by his predecessors. He was the seventh of seven of the same name and the most illustrious of a long line of medical men. Pharmacy and medicine which had begun to diverge under the Aesclepiades, became united in his person. Hippocrates carried his drugs with him. Greek and Egyptian pharmacy and medicine commingled at Alexandra, where every science of the period was stimulated by the Ptolemies t323 B. B3. Among the great pharmacists of this period were: Herophilos, who made great contributions to anatomy. He also made several contributions to phar- macology. Seraplion and Mantias t 250 B. CJ wrote formularies giving de- scriptions of drugs and processes. Herakleides added much to pharmacology of Hippocrates; Appollonios of Tyre and Dioscorides of Phakas were toxo- cologlsts, pharmacologists and magicians. By the empirical school which developed under the teachings of Herophilos and Era51stratos t280 B. C3, pharmacology and therapeutics were greatly studied. Through the experiments on human beings. of Mithridates and Attalos III, toxocology received an impetus. The early Roman writings discuss hygiene and preventive medicine. About 187 B. C. in consequence of an epidemic, a temple was erected to Aesculapius, and later one to Hygeia. This introduced pharmacy and thera- peutics into Rome. Sctvcnty-cight About 100 B. C. Arcagathus left Greece for Rome and a ttshop and surgery were purchased for him by the people. He practiced both medicine - and pharmacy. He was driven out on account of his predilection for opera- tions, and was succeeded in popular esteem by Aesclepiades, who had studied at Alexandra, then the great center of Graeco-Egyptian Medicine. He prac- ticed an expectant treatment and hydropathy, and denounced drugs and vene- section. Themiston, who was practically his pupil, succeeded him. Medicine soon became divided up into sects and specialties. The tendency to pharmacy was shown in the extensive use of drugs by some of the sects, who acquired a peculiar skill in dispensing. Thus was the foundation of our present profession of pharmacy laid. Builded stone upon stone beginning with the fancies and superstitions of a child-like people and terminating in a magnificent temple of knowledge. Con- tributed to by the greatest men the ages have brought forth, pharmacy and the science of medicine have evolved from one world of mystery and ap- proaches another world seemingly as mystic. All the sciences have contributed to this profession and the mystery which made up so large a part of the science of ancient pharmacy, has passed from its votaries to a world of science and knowledge, where life and death are no longer mysteries but are based upon- Well founded facts handed down through long generations of Savages and Saints, Witches and Priests, Beggars an Kings, Chemists and Pharmacists through a period of three thousand years. A. D. MILLER. Set'cmy-niuc Future Prospects for pharmacy It will be obvious to all that to predict the future of Pharmacy in an accurate manner would only result in failure. However, some idea may be gained as to what may possibly be expected by the study of the history of Pharmacy and by consideration of the present indications. XVhen viewed in this light, the future seems bright. Pharmacists, today, are more alive and are taking a keener interest in the furthering of their profession than ever before. They have made very line progress along certain lines within the last few years and are still progressing. During the war, the Army did not grant commissions to Pharmacists for professional work due, perhaps wholly, to the low preliminary educational re- quirement then in force for entrance to schools of Pharmacy. Should there be another war, this reason, at least, will not stand between a pharmacist and a commission. Colleges now demand graduation from recognized high schools. The college year has been lengthened and the hours of instruction have been in- creased. In many states, the three year course in Pharmacy was effected in the fall of 1925. Systems of teaching have been changed in many schools during the past few years. One of the most practical steps in advance is the general increase in the amount of laboratory work offered and required. Certain schools are doing actual dispensing work in connection with hospitals and dispensaries. Such work is invaluable. Another proposed advance in pharmaceutical education which is being dis- cussed at the present time is the requirement of a pre-pharmaceutieal year of general college work similar to that of pre-medieal and pre-dental courses. The minimum course in Pharmacy would then occupy four years. Conditions in Pharmacy at the present time do not warrant every man in spending four years in college in order to become a registered pharmacist. The professional work of the ordinary store does not require it and furthermore, the hnancial returns are not great enough. However, a few schools of Pharmacy may effect this change within a short time, but in the great majority of cases it probably will be far in the future. According to all present indications, business conditions in Pharmacv are going to be better. The legislation regulating store ownership which hasibeen effected a short time ago in a few states is, obviously, a great advantage to the registered pharmacist as it means that there will be fewer stores. The liquor or the dope outlaw stores of unlicensed owners will be done away with, and any stores financed by liquor interests will be driven out of business. There are many other favorable indications of good times to come in Pharmacy. Research along pharmaceutical lines is being encouraged. Price pro- tection is on its way. There is that mighty and powerful national organizae tion that is able to represent the pharmacist adequately and speak for him in time of need. There is an awakened class interest arid a pride of craft that IS pleasant to observe. And. Enally, there is favorable publicity to counteract the unfair and untruthful criticism too often directed at his profession and he is finding that the public is interested and glad to learn that ilthe drudgist is more than a merchant? b ,..
