The Alumni Association of N. Y. C. 

 P. has held its first annual ball Wednes- 

 day, January 22d, at the Banquet Hall 

 of Madison Square Garden. It will be 

 remembered till the second one will be 

 given. The anxiety as to whether or 

 not it will be a success disappeared at the 

 ball room as ether above some Bunson 

 burners. It has been a great social suc- 

 cess. Mother "Alma" had her own 

 children, at least a great part of them, 

 under her wings together for several 

 hours. And who enjoyed it more, than 



the children ? Why, it looked as if a 

 banquet was given to each individual 

 graduate. A greeting here, a hallo 

 there, indeed, they went so far as to em- 

 brace each other (and this long before 

 Nectar and Ambrosia had made their ap- 

 pearance). 



Fellow graduates ! Why not keep to- 

 gether a whole year around ? What is 

 the object of the Alumni Association, if 

 not to keep the graduates in social con- 

 tact ? And who benefits by it ? I hardly 

 think it is the Association at large ; more 

 surely the individual members and then 

 only when all keep together. With the 

 steady growth of our College the Asso- 

 ciation must grow, verily, the one with- 

 out the other seems to be a theory which 

 would not work practically. Are we not 

 proud that the New York College of 

 Pharmacy occupies a building which is 

 the finest pharmac}?^ building in the 

 Union ? 



Fellow graduates ! Think about it 

 and then ask yourself: Why should not 

 the College be as proud of its Alumni, as 

 the Alumni is of the College ? 



Ample sociability you have shown at 

 the ball, then a nicer and more sober 

 affair could not have taken place. 

 Therefore, with the year 1895, drop the 

 inactivity you have heretofore shown to 

 our Alma and do take interest in the 

 Association, for year after year the Asso- 

 ciation grows, and if each one should only 

 interest himself just a little, the time 

 cannot be far when the College will be 

 as proud of the Alumni as we are vice 

 versa. And this is not the only point 

 that is to be gained. The Association 

 could raise a voice then in Pharmaceuti- 

 cal affairs which not only will be heard 

 but will also be respected. This is the 

 main object. This is our aim. And to 

 reach this end, how many graduates are 

 working for this now? You can count
