20 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



operation of May, another gold medal man, and one of the few- 

 retail druggists whom I know, able to retire when under fifty on 

 a competence made out of the business. And another New York 

 College of Pharmacy man active in Cleveland association matters 

 is Rawlings, who figured in the November number of the Alumni 

 Journal, as a Tobacco Trust-buster. It has been my privilege to 

 serve on the American Pharmaceutical Association Committee for 

 Improving the Status of Army and Navy Pharmacists, under Payne, 

 a N. Y. C. P. man, and the most aggressive worker on behalf of 

 pharmacists in the Government service. Lastly, the past few years, 

 1 have been helping our good friend Raubenheimer paint pharma- 

 ceutical America red with cudbear and giving the picture a brown 

 frame of caramel. 



So you see, last Spring I found myself no stranger to the New 

 York College of Pharmacy and since my call to its chair of 

 chemistry, the warm greeting extended me by the friends of the 

 College — the Trustees, my colleagues of the faculty, the Alumni 

 and the student body — makes me feel as if I had been here always. 



It is therefore a great pleasure this evening to thank the Alumni 

 of the College assembled in corporate capacity for their kindly 

 reception. I want you to know how much I appreciate your 

 courtesy ; I want you to know how fully I appreciate the respon- 

 sibility that rests upon me — first, to live up to the high standards 

 set by distinguished predecessors in the chair of chemistry, and 

 secondly to prove worthy of the confidence in me your kindness 

 to me manifests ; I want you to realize that I cannot reach what 

 you expect of me except by your combined co-operation. 



In closing, Mr. Toastmaster, permit me, as freshman member of 

 the faculty and as one of the few here present not a graduate of 

 our college, to propose a toast to the New York College of 

 Pharmacy — the College of Pharmacy of Columbia University. And 

 in drinking to our College, let us not merely wish her well, but also 

 let us pledge ourselves to so labor for her in the present that her 

 future may prove scarcely less brilliant than her glorious past.
