the United States, it was deemed wise to open a laboratory in New York. Mr. 

 Stratton, who had been made Manager, Secretary and Treasurer, accordingly 

 arrived in New York in January, 1880, and the building at 48 Vesey Street was 

 taken by him as the Company's headciuarters. The success of the Fellows Syrup 

 under Mr. Stratton's able managemient is well known. After twenty years the 

 Company outgrew the Vesey Street building and in 1900 erected its own building 

 at 26 Christopher Street, where the business is now conducted. 



Mr. Stratton was of a highly philanthropic and humane nature and was 

 the first to inaugurate shorter working hours for women, which he thoroughly 

 advocated. 



Mr. Stratton was a prominent member of the Presbyterian Church, West 

 86th Street. He was a member of the Church Extension Committee, the most 

 active in the Church's work in this rapidly growing city. He was a fine 

 musician, played the violin and was one of the best amateurs in New York. 

 He kept very well informed on all leading topics and was a fine French scholar. 

 He was also an active worker in the United States Trade Mark Association 

 and in the Wholesale Druggists Association. 



He was beloved by all who came in contact with him for his integrity, his 

 fine sense of honor and justice, and his genial qualities. 



A TRIBUTE TO Mr. EWEN McINTYRE.* 



By Curt P. Wimmer. 



It is but fitting and proper that the Alumni zAssociation should 

 join the College in paying tribute to our beloved dead, and I speak here 

 to-night for the Alumni Association. 



We feel that we have sustained a very heavy loss through the death 

 of Mr. Ewen Mclntyre, his demise has made a vacant place in our 

 hearts and ranks which none can fill. It is difficult indeed for me to 

 find words to adequately express the esteem in which this gentleman 

 was held by us. It was more than esteem, it was reverence — not the 

 kind of reverence born of distant admiration, but a reverence of love, 

 of affection and of gratitude, developed during the many years of his 

 association with us, of his work for us. 



At the time of his death Mr, Mclntyre had been an active member 

 of the Alumni Association for almost forty years. And let me empha- 

 size the word "active." The record of his activity is continuous from 

 the day of his election, the 26th of March, 1876. to the fall of 1912. 

 He served as Vice-President in 1875 under the presidency of Mr 

 George C. Close, of the class of 1831. In 1876, Mr. Mclntyre was 

 elected President and served most faithfully in that capacity. The
