COLLEGE NOTES. 



Dr. C. P. Wimmer has just completed another summer course 

 at Columbia. He has been working hard for his A. M. and Ph. D. 

 degrees, the first one of which he expects to get this fall. The 

 doctor will now "rest" in the Catskill iMountains by climbing the 

 highest peaks he can find. 



Dr. C. W. Ballard has also completed his courses in Physiology 

 at Columbia. We hope he will not try any physiological experi- 

 ments upon the students, such as "knee jerk," "train reflexes" and 

 "spreading of impulses." He has promised to write an interesting 

 article on the possibilities of such experiments. 



Miss C. A. Kerker, our graceful "boss" of the office, has re- 

 turned, all tanned, from a month's sojourn at Deposit, N. Y. 



Mr. W. B. Simpson, clerk of the college, is spending the month 

 of August up State (New Russia). He must have his calender 

 filled with engagements, for he doesn't find time to write "home" 

 very often. 



Dr. A. Vorisek is still at college, not having been away as yet. 

 He has been engaged in unraveling some of the tangles of Practical 

 Chemistry during the summer months. The doctor is contemplat- 

 ing a trip up through the fertile valleys of Connecticut during 

 September. By the way, the doctor has been presented with a 

 bouncing baby boy last week. 



Dr. Geo. C. Diekman and Mr. Geo. De Lacy spent a few days 

 fishing on Long Island Sound near Greenport. Some pretty good 

 hauls made — ask the doctor. How about the large and rare 

 species of bass you caught, Mr. De Lacy? We have heard some 

 rumors about it, so you had better give an account of it in the 

 next issue and square yourself. Both the doctor and Mr. De Lacy 

 returned in fine condition after their trip and were well browned up. 



Dr. Diekman is about to start on a second fishing expedition, 

 and is going to take Dr. Wimmer along this time. The boys all 

 wish them both a pleasant and successful trip and hope to hear 

 some "real good ones" upon their return. 



Dr. V. Coblentz is spending his summer vacation at Allen's 

 Mills, Me. The doctor has completed the building of his log cabin 

 and is enjoying the cool breezes and mountain air. He is indulg- 

 ing in fishing, boating, hunting and also racing. In a recent com- 

 munication received from him we learn that he won a motor race 

 on the lake Independence Day — going some — ^yes. If he puts on 

 the speed he does in Organic Pharm. Chem. lectures, guess the 

 other contestant didn't stand much of a show — how about it 

 boys.
