THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 61 



During the past year the Association held its dinner, ball and out- 

 ing. Several distinguished lecturers entertained the members and 

 a number of pleasant sociable evenings were spent in the Library 

 of the College. The Alumni Journal continues to exist and is pub- 

 lished monthly. 



The Dinner held at Healy's was a grand success In every way, 

 and, to my mind, is one of the most potent factors in the existence 

 of the Association. It is a popular function. If developed along 

 the same lines as the Dinner held at Healy's in 1908 it will greatly 

 increase the popularity of the Association. 



I would recommend that the Reception and Dance be held at a 

 different place than heretofore with better accommodations and that 

 an increased charge for admission be made. 



• Interest in the Outings has fallen off from year to year until the 

 last Outing which was a complete failure. I recommend that this 

 feature be discontinued, which view seems to be shared by the Asso- 

 ciation as no arrangements have been made to hold one this Sum- 

 mer. 



The work of preparing a census of the Graduates of the College 

 has been undertaken under the auspices of the Registrar, and al- 

 though difficult, the reports indicate that it is nearing completion. 



I have frequently urged, while serving on Committees, the forma- 

 tion of a district organization of the Association. Elect or appoint 

 a member in each district who will keep in touch with the graduates 

 in his district. Such a Committee will be of great assistance in in- 

 creasing the membership of the Association and attendance at meet- 

 ings and would materially aid such committees as the Dinner Com- 

 mittee and the Reception Committee. 



Class organizations will serve the same purpose. Pharmacists 

 are a target for all kinds of legislation, both good and bad. The 

 interests of the profession^ demand the enactment and enforcement 

 of just laws and the suppression of bad ones. Good laws can only 

 be enacted by the unity of Pharmaceutical interests guided by intel- 

 ligent effort. 



That some action may be taken by the Association in tliis matter 

 is respectfully recommended. 



In conclusion I thank the officers and the members of the Asso- 

 ciation for their hearty co-operatioh during the past year. 



• Respectfully submitted, 



HIERONIMUS A. HEROLD.
