12 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



Contributed by Mr. Nelson S. Kirk. 



My prediction in last month's Journal about Borggreve, came 

 true. We had a very nice letter from him when he was in Provi- 

 dence on Dec. n. He expects to greet "The Boys" personally in 

 January, so get your biceps in shape to do the honor in proper 

 form. 



Dr. Wimmer was fortunate in securing Healy's Grand Ball Room 

 and Crowley's Band for the Alumni Ball which will be held on 

 Wednesday evening, February 7th, 1912. 



It looked like College Days to see the large crowd of Alumni 

 gathered in the lecture room on December 8, joining with their brother 

 Pharmacists of Greater New York and Westchester in their pro- 

 test against the reduction in telephone commission. 



Brooklyn has awakened to the fact that 10% is inadequate and 

 is heart and soul in the contest. I noted the following Alumni 

 present: Burns, '92; ex-Pres. Searles ; Kirkpatrick. '94; Kirk. '94; 

 Webster, '94; Gregorius, Schoenfeld and Bjorkwall, '95, and our 

 good friends Dr. Anderson, Mr. Reeder, Mr. France, Mr. Mayo, 

 Mr. Swann and Mr. Zimmerman. 



Otto 'Marx, '94, is doing nicely in New Haven, Conn. He will 

 have something to say to his classmates in the February Journal. 



That certainly was "some dinner'' we held on Dec. 6th. Dr. 

 Chandler was one of the boys once more. He was tickled when he 

 saw the Garcon approaching with his well illuminated birthday cake. 

 "We certainly want you with us every year, Professor." Professor 

 llynson made an address, the benefits of which I trust will become 

 more apparent year by year. Honesty, Dignity and Culture are 

 essential attributes to us professional men. 



Fred Linning, '94, "cut" a church fair to attend the dinner; yours 

 truly willingly assumed all the responsibility. Imagine Fred missing 

 an Alumni Dinner. No wonder Prof. Geo. Ferguson laughed when 

 Fred lamented his loyalty to the Church. 



In the Clysmic Drinking Contest the finish was Pruss, Schoen- 

 feld. Linnig Pierson and Kirk in the order named. Reverse this 

 In'- the fire water prize.
