 souvianna, Schottische, Waltz.

Herman A. R. Graeser, our worthy ex- 

 President, deserves recognition. Although be- 

 ing a student in medicine at the P. and S. and 

 conducting his prosperous pharmacy, yet he 

 finds time to attend the Alumni meetings. His 

 entrance to the amphitheatre at eveiy lecture 

 provokes an outburst of applause from the 

 audience, prominent among which are the 

 students of the College who recognize in Mr. 

 Graeser one of their best friends. 



Adolph Henning, our genial Treasurer, 

 commands the respect and admiration of every 

 member of the Association by the earnest and 

 steadfast manner in which he executes the af- 

 fairs of the Alumni. Mr. Henning should be 

 looked upon as an example by all enterprising 

 members. It is noteworthy to state that Mrs. 

 Henning frequently graces the Alumni room 

 with her presence. 



A high hat brigade has been formed by 

 Messrs. Hoburg, Kirk and Tannenbaum. The 

 object of the organization is to induce all the 

 members to appearat the meetings and sociables 

 with high hats. Gentlemen ; may your honest 

 endeavois be crowned with the high hat of suc- 

 cess. 



If appearances signify conclusions, we may 

 look forward to having our ranks swelled by a 

 large delegation from the Class of '96. At every 

 meeting the class has representatives present. 



Messrs. Hoburg, Kirk and Burger compose 

 the Entertainment Committee of the Alumni 

 room. With such able entertainers as Messrs. 

 Hoburg and Kirk on the committee, our Wed- 

 nesday night smokers and our monthly sociables 

 will certainl} become famous. 



All matter relating to this column should be 

 addressed to

"Doctor, didn't I understand you to say that 

 brandy is a good remedy for dyspepsia?" asked 

 a Dallas society lady of her family physician. 



"Yes, Mrs. Yerger, it is an excellent remedy. 



"I don't agree with you. Doctor. Before I 

 kept brandy in the house my husband had dys- 

 pepsia every few weeks, but now he suffers 

 from it every day, and it seems to be getting 

 worse and worse." — Texas Si/iings.
