116 C. U. C. P. ALUMNI JOURNAL July, 1918 



self in making a little memorandum, to pass on as best I may, of what opportmii- 

 ties await the young woman who has taken training in the Columbia University 

 College of Pharmacy : — • 



After a four years' course of study and practical work, which entitles her to 

 take the State examinations for a license, if she obtain that license, she is eligible 

 to a position in a hospital or drug store at a salary of from $75.00 to $125.00 a 

 month. Even after the two years of required study, and without tne practical 

 work, she is eligible to good paying positions in chemical laboratories. Two or 

 three girls belonging to the most recent classes have obtained positions in a chem- 

 ical laboratory near New York at $85.00 a month and board. 



As there will also hereafter be opportunities in part-time positions in the 

 New York drug stores for young women to gain practical experience while study- 

 ing, as hitherto there have always been for young men, it will not be impossible 

 for an energetic young woman to earn enough money, during most ot the time 

 at least, to pay current expenses. 



It is worthy of note, that every woman graduate of the College, who desires 

 a position, has one, and at a salary on the average of $100.00 a month ; also that, 

 according to the calls that are continually addressed to the Office, many more wo- 

 men having had the proper training in pharmacy are needed. This fact, cer- 

 tainly, ought to be called to the attention of the young women living m this vi- 

 cinity, who are now trying to make choice of some suitable work or profession 

 for which they should prepare. And in these days, life is not going to mean 

 v.^hat it should to girls, as well as to boys, unless they do prepare themselves to do 

 something eminently well. 



Professor Diekman was elected an honorary member of The New Jersey
