30 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



The affairs of any organization, if it would be successful and 

 progressing, must be conducted strictly upon business bases — the ex- 

 penditures must not exceed the income, irrespective of any accumu- 

 lated fund. 



The expenses of our Alumni Association are high. The reports 

 of our dinner and ball committees often show deficits, the Alumni 

 Certificates must be paid for, lectures provided, officers salaries paid, 

 printing and various other bills must be met; in short, the average 

 running expenses of our association amount to about $500 a year. 



Every member should take pride in supporting an organization, the 

 design of which is "to advance the interests of the College, to bring 

 its graduates into closer fellowship with each other and to promote 

 sociability and good feeling among them ; to advance the science and 

 art of pharmacy and allied branches; to encourage and assist under- 

 graduates and to keep a record of the pharmaceutical work and ser- 

 vices of its members." 



You will receive your bill for dues within very few days. Kindly 

 signify that you are in full accord with the objects of the Alumni 

 Association by a prompt remittance. 



ALUMNI BALL. 



The Alumni Ball, held at Healy's, 66th Street and Columbus 

 Avenue, on February 7, 1912, was a grand success. Over 300 people 

 were present to enjoy the entertainment and to take part in the grand 

 inarch, which preceded the dancing. Fellowship, good feeling and the 

 spirit of comradeship prevailed everywhere. The splenduid new ball- 

 room and the exquisite dresses of the ladies did their share in present- 

 ing a picture of elegance and refinement. The Alumni Association 

 and the committee especially are to be congratulated and complimented. 



ALUMNI SCHOLARSHIP. 



The Alumni Scholarship has been awarded for the first time. Mr. 

 Fred. A. Bockman, of the Junior Class, obtained the highest number 

 of points in the examinations, and the scholarship was awarded to him. 

 The committee feels that the man most worthy of this aid in the pursuit 

 of his studies has won it, and hopes that he will prove to be one of 

 the best at the end of his college year. Congratulations to Mr. 

 Bockman.
