8 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



COLLEGE NOTES. 



The Clerk of the College will, each month hereafter, prepare for 

 publication in the journal, a short column telling of such actions 

 of the Board of Trustees as may be of interest to the Alumni and 

 also the news of undergraduate activities. 



Dr. Virgil Coblentz, who for twenty years was on the teaching- 

 staff of our College, has been made by the Trustees, an Emeritus 

 Professor of Chemistry. 



Mr. Caswell A. Mayo deserves the thanks of the Alumni and 

 students for the time and trouble which he took in endeavoring 

 to obtain permission from the National Guard to allow our students 

 the use of the 22nd Regiment Armory for athletic work. That he 

 was unsuccessful, was through no fault of his. He left no stone 

 unturned in our behalf, and his unselfish efforts are as fully appre- 

 ciated as they would have been, had his report been more favorable. 



At their own expense, the Trustees have completely redecorated 

 and refurnished the Board Room. The furnishings are all of heavy 

 solid mahogany, the table being fourteen feet long and of a beauti- 

 ful finish. Due to the fact that the State Board of Pharmacy has 

 for years occupied the room these improvements could not be 

 made before. 



At the public hearing before the Bureau of Combustibles, held on 

 Friday, December 8th, to hear the Pharmacists' suggestions of 

 changes and modifications in the rules of the Department, which 

 limit and regulate the amount of certain chemicals to. be carried 

 m stock by the retailers, the College was represented by Doctors 

 Geisler, Diekman and Mr. Mayo. They report that all the correc- 

 tion < requested by them were acceded to and that the Rules as 

 adopted will not be objectionable in any way to retail druggists. 



The Seni( r Scholarship has been awarded to Robert R. Schleuss- 

 nei . Jr., who attained a general average of above 95%. Mr Schleuss- 

 ner, last year, was at the head of the Junior Honor Roll and win- 

 ner of the Alumni Association prize of a Torsion Balance. 



Successful meetings of the College orchestra have been held re- 

 cently and much excellent talent has been found. There seems to 

 be. however a surplus of violin players, but an earnest effort is 

 being made to find celloists and cornet players.
