152 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



At the March meeting of the College, the well-known advertising 

 expert, Mr. Frank Farrington, will be the lecturer of the evening. 



At the meeting of the Board of Trustees, held on Tuesday evening, 

 November ii, a portrait in oil of the late Mr. Edward Kemp, Presi- 

 dent of the College from 1896 to 1900, was presented to the College 

 by his widow. With this addition, the collection of portraits of former 

 presidents is almost complete. 



The Board authorized the purchase of a high class stereopticon 

 for use at the College meetings and for instruction purposes. 



It is the intention of the Librarian, Professor H. V. Amy, to place 

 on exhibition, in a case made for that purpose, the rare and old books 

 which have, in the past, been donated to the library. The College is 

 in possession of a very valuable collection of such works and would 

 be very glad to receive donations from possessors of such volumes 

 Through the generosity of Mr. Ernest Stauflfen, our files of foreign 

 periodicals are now practically complete and all members of the pro- 

 fession are cordially invited to make free use of the library. 



It is a source of great satisfaction to those connected with the Col- 

 lege that Trustee Caswell A. Mayo has been elected to the presidency 

 of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and that Vice-President 

 Plant has been made President of the National Wholesale Druggists' 

 Association. 



We received a very pleasant visit from Dr. Theodore Johnson, 

 Professor of Chemistry at the University of Havana. Professor 

 Johnson is interested in the Department of Pharmacy of that insti- 

 tution. 



Professor Mansfield, connected with our Department of Pharma- 

 cognosy, with the permission of the Trustees, hopes to start an exten- 

 sion course in his department, to be given in the evening at the College. 

 If there should be enough demand among pharmacists for such a 

 course, the necessary arrangements will no doubt be made. 



Mr. Charles Krepela, First Avenue and Seventy-second Street, has 

 been elected a member of the College. 



Our senior student, Manfred Simon, has again made the Varsity 

 Track Team at the University and in the recent cross country meet 

 with Princeton, finished in second place on the Columbia Team.
