EDITORIAL. 

 THE NEW EDITOR. 



With the present issue of the Alumni Journal, a new Editor 

 makes his initial bow. 



During the last few years, the reading matter of the Alumni 

 Journal has, no doubt, been satisfactory to many ; still, there were 

 those who believed that it could be considerably improved upon. 

 A committee, appointed by the President, took the matter under 

 careful consideration and finally decided, that it would be best 

 to have as Editor a man, who had his office at the College of 

 Pharmacy and who, therefore, was in close touch with College and 

 University matters. The undersigned was selected and agreed to 

 do the work of Editor-in-chief, while Mr. Lotz, the previous Ed- 

 itor, will be connected with the Journal in the capacity of business 

 manager. 



The scope of the Journal will, in future, be more of a local 

 and personal nature than it has been in the past. The Alumni
