92 C. U. C. P. ALUMNI JOURNAL June, 1918 



Instructor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry, chose service in the United 

 States Navy, and is now stationed at the Virgin Islands, serving in the capacity 

 of Chief Pharmacist Mate. The other, Lewis Nathan Brown, Phar.D., chose 

 service with the United States Army and is now performing service at Camp 

 Merritt, New Jersey, with the sanitary division. 



It is with sadness, mingled with pride, that I call attention to the single gold 

 star in the red field of our flag. It is the only way we now have of showing the 

 world that one of our number is no more, that one of our number gave all that 

 lie possessed, so that others might be restored to health and useful activity, or 

 might even live. This gold star is placed on the Service Flag in honor of Dr. 

 Albert S. Cooke, Class of '98, and a veteran of the Spanish- American War, who, 

 after returning from that campaign took up the study of medicine at our own 

 College of Physicians and Surgeons and who graduated from that institution, re- 

 ceiving the degree of M.D. When the call for volunteers to serve with the Amer- 

 ican Ambulance Corps in Servia during the epidemic of typhus fever which rav- 

 aged that unfortunate country came, he at once offered his services and did most 

 valuable and efficient work in the cause of humanity, and finally gave up what is 

 most precious to perhaps all of us, life itself, so that others might be saved and 

 spared. 



Let us hope ard pray that this will be the only instance where the supreme 

 sacrifice is demanded. Let us hope and pray that as duty calls and our service 

 stars increase in number, as I know they will, none of the others will be required 

 to make the supreme sacrifice, but that all of them will be returned to their loved 

 ones, whole in limb, sound in mind, to follow the profession which they have 

 chosen, serving us in peace, as they served us in conflict and strife, not for profit, 

 not for gain, but once more that others may live. 



Miss Josephine Rinaldi, a singer of rare ability, then sang "Non e Ver" by 

 Tito Mattel and as an encore "Sogno" by Talo Tofte. 



With appropriate remarks President Monroe H. Weil presented to Edward 

 Yanket the first prize, a Springer Torsion Prescription Balance ; to Henry Rosen- 

 berg the second prize, a copy of Amy's "Principles of Pharmacy." Gershen 

 Cohen and Jacob Simonet. being tied for third prize, each received a copy of 

 Sadtler and Coblentz "Chemistry." After listening to the wit of Robert Wills, 

 "The Irish Senator," the room was darkened and there appeared upon the screen 

 "some" class pictures, the joint product of Miss Frances Newmark, '18, and H. 

 Kimmel, '18, which said pictures took the audience by storm, as they very cleverly 

 caricatured SG>me of the habits and hobbies of students and teachers. 



The singing of "You're in style when you're wearing the smile" and "A lump 

 of sugar from Dixie" closed part one. 



After Himmel's Orchestra had rendered a selection. Miss Edith E. Hubel, 

 '19, rendered -"Love, Love" and "The amorous gold fish" from "The Geisha," ac- 

 companied by Mr. A. Ponsa. Miss Hubel's beautiful voice was in splendid condi- 

 tion and she v/as rewarded with much well-merited applause.
