A SUCCESSFUL N. Y. C. P. GRADUATE. 



Dr. Fred. A. Leslie is 

 perhaps one of the young- 

 est and at the same time 

 one of the most successful 

 of the instructors at the 

 New York College of Phar- 

 macy. 



Born July 14th, 1885, at 

 Kemptbille, Ontario, Cana- 

 da, he received his early 

 education in the public 

 schools of that place until 

 1894 when he came to New 

 York, and finished his 

 schooling in the New York 

 public schools from which 

 he graduated in 1898. 



Soon after leaving public 

 school he entered the phar- 

 maceutical field as appren- 

 tice with Caswell, Massey 

 & Co., entering the New 

 York College of Pharmacy in 1902 and graduating therefrom in 

 1904, follov^ing that with the post graduate course, from which he 

 received honors upon graduating in 1905. 



After receiving his degree of Doctor of Pharmacy, he received an 

 offer from Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, to act as chemist, 

 which position he held for some months, when at the request of 

 Professor Rusby he affiliated himself with the College of Phar- 

 macy, as instructor in physiology. 



tfe was instructor in physiology until 1907, when he was ap- 

 pointed instructor in analytical chemistry, in which position he is 

 still serving with credit to himself and those associated with him. 

 Very modest in manner and appearance, still he is very affable 

 in speech, and one cannot but be impressed with his general de- 

 meanor. He has endeared himself unto the students, as have the 

 other instructors and professors of our college, and it is with the 

 greatest pleasure that we publish his picture in this issue.
