Jr., into the business, he opened some 25 years ago a branch store at 

 the corner of 6th Avenue and 56th Street, under the style of Ewen 

 Mclntyre and Son, which is still continued. Mr. Mclntyrc himself, 

 however, retired from active business with the closing of his i8th 

 Street store in 1890, the store being replaced at that time by a modern 

 office structure known as the Mclntyre building. 



Mr. Mclntyre became a contributing member of the American 

 Pharmaceutical Association in 1873 and attended its annual meetings 

 whenever it was convenient for him to do so ; he became a life member 

 in 1907 ; he was elected its first vice-president in 1877; served as Chair- 

 man of its Section on Historical Pharmacy in 1906, and was elected 

 Honorary President in 1910; the last meeting of the Association he 

 attended was that held in Boston in 191 1, when he presented an inter- 

 esting paper entitled "Some Pharmacists of New York City, Three- 

 fourths of a Century Ago," which was highly appreciated by the 

 members. 



Mr. Mclntyre became a member of the Alumni Association of his 

 Alma Mater in 1874 and thereafter took an active interest in its work 

 for the upbuilding of the College and the increase of its educational 

 facilities; he served as president in 1876, was elected Honorary Presi- 

 dent in 1905 and re-elected to this honorary position annually until his 

 decease ; his fellow alumni appreciated his high character, his stainless 

 business record, the active part he had taken in promoting the interests 

 of the institutions to which they allowed allegiance, and the regard in 

 which they held him w^as well illustrated at the last Alumni banquet, 

 when portraits of Mr. Mclntyre were distributed and the menus bore 

 this sentiment, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, that has not to 

 himself at some time said, 'we love him, Ewen Mclntyre.' " 



Mr. Mclntyre became a member of the College in 1870; was 

 elected to its Board of Trustees in 1873; became a vice-president m 

 1874 and was elected president in 1876, serving in this important office 

 for 13 years. 



He brought the same business acumen and sturdy common senv.< 

 to bear on the affairs of the College as he did on his own business and 

 under his leadership with the loyal support of his Board of Trustees 

 on which were at this time such men as Paul Baluff, Gustavas Balser, 

 IT. A. Cassabeer, Jr., Gustavas Ramsperger, Charles Rice and others, 

 the College rapidl)- forged to the front as an educational institution.
