156 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



ALUMNI DINNER OF THE N. Y. COLLEGE OF 



PHARMACY. 



One hundred members of the Alumni Association of the New York 

 College of Pharmacy met in Reisenweber's Beefsteak Garret on the 

 evening of December the 4th. 



After the majority of the guests were seated the faculty marched in, 

 headed by Chairman Nelson A. Kirk and President Weinstein. The 

 tables were artistically decorated with roses. Musical Numbers 

 alternated with the courses of the excellent menu. There were songs 

 by the Cornell Medical Quartet and dancing of the true cabaret style. 

 Near the close of the dinner President Weinstein introduced Chairman 

 Kirk. He read a number of telegrams from absent members of the 

 association. One being from our beloved honorary president Ewen 

 Mclntyre Sr , stating that he had been ill and regretted his inability to 

 be present. At each plate the committee had placed a box of candy 

 with portraits of Mr. Mclntyre on the back of which read; Breathes 

 there an Alumnus with soul so dead that has not to himself at some 

 time said, "We love him — Ewen Mclntyre" Born in Fulton County, 

 New York, in 1825, our esteemed friend and colleague is exemplifying 

 a career worthy of the best of men, and in the evening of his life, he 

 stands as a courageous soldier, ever ready to advance the interests of 

 his Alma Mater, of which, as an 1847 man, he holds the title of its oldest 

 living graduate, honorary Vice President of the College and honorary 

 Vice-President of its Alumni. 



Chairman Kirk then announced that the advertised speakers of the 

 evening, the Hon. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Hon. Charles 

 S. Whitman, New York's district attorney, would not be present. A 

 few remarks were made by Mr. Felix Hirseman, by Mr. Rahens of 

 the Brooklyn College and by John R. Wall of the National Pharmaceutic- 

 al Association. 



About twenty members of the Association adjourned to the lower 

 floor to listen to the famous colored Quartet. 



At this adjourned meeting there was much good feeling expressed 

 and every one present gave a short address, thus bringing to a close a 

 very enjoyable evening. The association is to be congratulated on 

 appointing such an efficient committee, headed by Nelson S. Kirk, 

 chairman.
