THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



Fate seems to arrange things so that we 

 always have several of the class in the Annexed 

 District. Now there are James Wilson, at 138th 

 street and Willis avenue; L.J. Meighan, 151st 

 street and Courtland avenue; and L,. Ambos, 

 139th street and Willis avenue. 



Apropos of J. Wilson, the young man with 

 curly hair and of good moral character. He is 

 studying German. He was having a most spirit- 

 ed and exciting discussion with a German lady 

 customer on the merits and demerits of Kamillen 

 Thee, and was flattering himself that he was 

 getting along swimmingly, when she floored him 

 with "Oh, dear, I wish there was some one here 

 who could speak German." Thus are our most 

 fondly cherished hopes rudely dashed to pieces 

 in a moment. Better luck next time, Jim. 



Iv. J. Meighan has made use of his phar- 

 macognosy specimens in a very attractive win- 

 dow display. Who will now dare say that the 

 value of our theoretical education ceased when 

 we got our sheepskin that eventful evening? 



Oh ! into what serious complications has not 

 the Wrensch family involved us ? I hear from 

 one source of "unquestioned veracity," that our 

 Henry C. Wrensch. Jr., (don't forget the Jr. ), 

 has bought a store in Montclair, N. J., and 

 from another column in the Journal, I gleam 

 that it is his illustrious brother of '95. If one of 

 the Wrensches won't come forward and end 

 the suspense by telling i^s who it is, I am 

 afraid we will have to get a diplomat from 

 Washington to unravel the complication, which 

 threatens to become of national importance. 



Our Wrensch writes me that he has not been 

 wrensched down as far as Catherine street, but 

 is at Pearl and Madison streets. He requests 

 me to insert the following " ad. : " 



For Sale or To Let — A copper-lined, double- 

 back action, collapsible and indestructible high 

 hat, suitable for any one who wishes to join the 

 high hat brigade, will sell or rent, as desired. For 

 dates, terms, references, etc., address, H. C. 

 Wrensch, Jr., 426 Pearl street. 



The reception on the i8th inst., was very 

 enjoyable. The number present was almost 

 double that of last time. '93 deserves a lecture, 

 for while all other classes were largely repre- 

 sented, the faithful of '93 were again; Billy 

 Hoburg and sister, Stage brothers and sister, 

 and myself. Those of you that do not come 

 punish yourselves, for the affairs are all most 

 enjoyable. "So buck up," boys, and let us 

 see you, if it is only one evening a month,

'94 NOTES. 



"It's all over, boys ;" the proud distinction 

 we have always cherished as being the Banner 

 Class is about to be grasped from us. For '96 

 under ordinary conditions will graduate at least 

 175 as compared to our 128. While we regret 

 having to accept second place, we realize that 

 the inducements offered by our Alma Mater are 

 being appreciated. Hops that '96 will recipro- 

 cate, by appreciating the value of the Alumni 

 Association. 



The '94 delegation to the Reception on the 

 i8th was a conspicious one, as a glance at Prof. 

 Burger's column will indicate. We should like 

 to see class interest grow in Alumni social af- 

 fairs, for "to promote sociability" is one of the 

 Association's objects. 



As a diagnostician. Dr. Kreuder is making 

 quite a reputation, tne following case speaking 

 for itself. At the Smoker held on March 4th, 

 a smooth faced, gilded pharmacist lit one of the 

 pipes, which were on top ; assuming a comfort- 

 able position he began to enjoy a sweet solace, 

 listening to the alternate piano and banjo selec- 

 tions, suddenly he arose from his chair, pressed 

 his hands against his head and persisted in say- 

 ing that he had banjos inside. Dr. Kreuder 

 was hastily summoned, and after a thorough 

 examination, announced that the patient was 

 suffering from Catarrh (Guitar). 



With the addition of "Joe" Kussy to the 

 editorial stafi" of The Alumni Journal its 

 value as an up to date journal will be consider- 

 ably enhanced. A glance at his contributions 

 during our senior year, would reveal many 

 columns, which for originality and cleverness 

 have yet to be surpassed. Though inclined to 

 be of a quiet, unassuming disposition, he is 

 nevertheless an ardent worker for the Alumni, 

 and we thoroughly appreciate his presence at 

 any of our social functions and particularly 

 should we, when we take into consideration the 

 fact, that he has the journey from the "wilds of 

 Jersey" to accomplish it. 



Have you heard it ? One of our Benedicts 

 was down to Macy's buying some hosiery ; after 

 making the purchase and to relieve the mono- 

 tany of the necessary wait in procuring the 

 change, he began chatting with the clerk, when 

 a young lady came up and with a Bostonese ac- 

 cent asked for a pair of "girters," in the follow- 

 ing way, "I desire to purchase a pair of girdular 

 apparatusses capable of holding in the proper 

 position the covering of that portion of the 

 nether limbs, which modesty prevents me from
