REMARKS OF PROFESSOR H. V. ARNY 



At Banquet of Alumni Association, 

 New York College of Pharmacy, Dec. 6th, 191 1. 



Mi. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: 



The announcement just made that the Alumni Association has 

 elected me an honorary member is heard with pleasure and grati- 

 tude. As a graduate of the oldest college of pharmacy in America, 

 I would be a disloyal son of my Alma Mater were I not proud of 

 the college which gave me my education, but second to this feeling 

 of pride, is the announcement that the Alumni Association of the 

 second oldest college of pharmacy has been gracious enough to 

 make me one of its honorary members. 



This, and other alumni associations perform a distinct public 

 service in preserving the traditions and history of the institution 

 from which it emanates. 



We, with all Americans, glory in our older institutions of learn- 

 ing — Harvard, Yale, University of Virginia and King's College 

 (now Columbia University) of which we are a part. How much 

 mere should we, as pharmacists, delight in our older colleges of 

 pharmacy — Philadelphia. New York and Baltimore. An institution 

 which has been the scene of the labors of a Proctor, a Squibb, an 

 Israel Grahame, a Maisch, a Rice, or of our friend Hynson, has a 

 heritage that is indeed precious and none can so fully appreciate 

 this as can one like; myself who has labored at an institution too 

 young to have much history behind it. The traditions of the past 

 are inspirations for work of the future and as such have great 

 value.
