96 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



Dr. Schieffelin : The next number on the program is the awarding 

 '^f the Alumni prizes by Dr. Joseph Weinstein. 



Dr. Weinstein : Trustees, Faculty, Graduating Class, Ladies and 

 Gentlemen : 



The graduates of this College, after leaving this institution to 

 pursue their callings as clerks, some of them as proprietors of drug 

 stores, maintain their affiliation with their Alma Mater by becoming 

 members of the Alumni Association. This Association, besides its 

 useful and professional ofifice as its main object, co-operates with the 

 College of Pharmacy in everything that tends to promote the welfare 

 of the institution and to the advancement of pharmacy in general. 

 It keeps its watchful eye on the class-rooms of the College, on the 

 work of the students and stimulates their work by awarding prizes 

 to the junior students who show a proficiency in their studies and 

 stand highest in their classes and also makes yearly awards of 

 medals to the graduates who were highest in their achievements 

 during the course of study and who obtained the highest ratings on 

 their final examinations. 



It is my pleasant duty to-night to award these prizes to the three 

 students V\/ho head the list of their class. We have a good many 

 "best," but three are the leaders. 



The first prize, a gold medal, is awarded to a gentleman who has 

 obtained 1,092 out of a possible 1,200 points; in other words, a per- 

 centage of 91. This gentleman is Mr. Isaiah A. Solomons. 



The second prize, a silver medal, is awarded to a gentleman who 

 received 1,041 out of the possible 1,200 points or 86.75 P^^ cent, and 

 is Mr. Frederick Gordon Hammond. 



The third prize, a bronze medal, is awarded to a graduate very 

 close to the second man. He received 1,038 points or 86.5 per cent., 

 and I take pleasure in calling upon Mr. Harry Ziegler. 



I hope, gentlemen, that these little tokens of recognition on the 

 part of the Alumni Association will serve as a stimulus to strive to 

 still higher achievements for the good of the community and for the 

 prestige of your Alma Mater.
