Another year of prosperity has gone by, and 

 once more the managers of The AlumniJournal 

 bid its readers, "Greeting for the New Year." 

 When we look back upon the work done by 

 The Journal during the past year, we find 

 that not only has it done the work for which it 

 was originally intended, but that it has also 

 kept track of the more important events which 

 have happened outside of the college, and 

 which would be likely to interest and benefit 

 our readers. The large increase in the sub- 

 scription list, shows that The Journal has and 

 is supplying a long felt want, for through the 

 "Class Reports" columns our graduates are 

 able to communicate with each other, and find 

 out what their classmates are doing ; we regret 



that more of the older graduates do not take 

 advantage of these columns to communicate 

 with each other. 



Commencing with the new year, the Alumni 

 Association will offer some new attractions to 

 induce the members to meet each other in the 

 Alumni Room, and also to induce those grad- 

 uates who are not members to join us. 



Beginning with January 8, 1896, the Alumni 

 Association will open its doors every Wednesday 

 evening, to the members and to all students of 

 the College; once a month a sociable is to be 

 held, to which the friends and also lady friends 

 of the members, will be cordially invited and 

 made to feel at home. 



An announcement, which will undoubtedly 

 please many of the members is, that a piano 

 has been provided for their entertainment ; this 

 should bring about a larger attendance of the 

 music loving Esculapii to the social gatherings. 

 The piano will be a very useful instrument on 

 social nights, when our embryo pianists may 

 delight the ladies to their hearts' content. 



One thing which must not be forgotten by 

 any one is, that the "First Annual Ball of the 

 Alumni Association," will be held in the Ban- 

 quet Hall of Madison Square Garden, on the 

 22d day of January, 1896. Every member and 

 every student should make it a point to be 

 there, if possible, and bring your friends, for on 

 the success of this, the first ball of the Associa- 

 tion, may depend the success of any future 

 balls. As to the success of the ball there can 

 be no doubt, for the prime movers of the affair 

 are men who have always given the welfare of 

 the Association their first thought; therefore 



Come one, come all ! 

 To the Alumni ball. 

 And let us all be merry. 

 Let the strife of life 

 Be out of sight 

 On that night of January. 



*Due credit must be given to Mr R. Boenke, '95, 

 his valuable assistance in the present issue. 



for 



The large audience which listened to the lec- 

 ture delivered by Dr. H. A. Haubold, on "Gen- 

 eration," on the night of Wednesday, December 

 nth, was not merely drawn by the subject of 

 the lecture itself, but was largely due to the 

 genial doctor's popularity, since he was intro- 

 duced to us last year by his lecture on " Diges- 

 tion and its Pharmaceutical Aids." Although the 

 subject of his last lecture does not directly con- 

 cern our pharmaceutical friends, still it could 

 be plainly seen by the attention shown to the 

 learned doctor's discourse that they take an in- 

 terest in all that concerns either the medical or 

 the pharmaceutical professions.
