82 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



At this moment Mr. Schwartz, the president of the class, 

 approached the venerable professor, but had to wait for several 

 minutes to allow the applause to subside. In a well prepared speech 

 he presented a beautiful silver loving cup to the professor, with the 

 best wishes of the class of 1910. When Mr. Schwartz had con- • 

 eluded there were tears in the eyes of Professor Chandler, and Mr. 

 Schwartz resumed his seat amid the din and. applause of the entire 

 assemblage. 



When the applause had subsided the professor stood before the 

 clasr much overcome, he knew not what to say or do and seemed to 

 be unable to speak. He bowed, walked over to the faucet with the 

 cup in his hand and filled it with water and said "I drink to the 

 health of you all." The class again applauded most vigorously. 



After the applause had subsided he thanked the class heartily, 

 after which the boys tried to obtain his autograph. Whereupon 

 Professor Chandler asked the president of the class to obtain the 

 signatures of the students for him. This was done and a booklet 

 containing their signatures was presented to him on commence- 

 ment night. 



COLUMBIA STUDENTS ALSO GIVE CUP 

 TO PROFESSOR CHANDLER. 



Five hundred Columbia students gathered in the large chemistry 

 lecture room, in Havemeyer Hall, on May 4th, to hear Professor 

 Chandler's last lecture on chemistry as a member of the university 

 faculty. Many members of the faculty were present, most of whom 

 had studied under Professor Chandler. 



His appearance was the signal for an outburst of enthusiastic 

 cheering, such as is seldom tendered to any member of the faculty, 

 and even after the Columbia cheer had been given, with three Chandlers 

 on the end, it was a long time before there was quiet. The students 

 continued to clamor for a "Chandler story." 



Professor Chandler, however, at once began to lecture on arsenic 

 and antimony. But he could not let an opportunity for a jest to pass. 

 After showing a black lump of sulphide of antimony one of the first 

 things he said was that it was rather a long jump from that to a glass 

 of whiskey, but that as the Turkish women had used that same sub- 

 stance to brighten their eyes, it was closely related to the whiskey of 

 to-day, for that, too, he understood, was used as an "eye opener."
