DR. GEORGE C. DIEKMAN 



Elected President of the Manhattan Ph. A. 



What can be more befitting to a 

 man, than to be crowned with the 

 glories of honor and office unquali- 

 fiedly and unanimously? 



This is what happened to two of 

 our distinguished professors. In a 

 previous issue you were told of the 

 choice of Prof. Rusby for President 

 of the American Pharmaceutical 

 Association, an honor befitting the 

 man, and the man befitting the 

 honor, now you are informed that 

 our respected professor and alum- 

 nus, Dr. George C. Diekman, has 

 been unanimously elected to the 

 presidency of the Manhattan Phar- 

 maceutical Association. 



We trust and hope that during 

 the ensuing year of Dr. Diekman's 



leadership, the Manhattan Pharmaceutical Association will flourish 



and sain in the esteem of the profession.
