THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



Our College. A physician (editor 

 of one of the leading medical journals in 

 this city), remarked: "I consider a two 

 years course of study in the New York 

 College ol Pharmacy, the finest training 

 any boy could have, and if I had a son 

 who intended Lo become a lawyer, doc- 

 tor, engineer or join any of the profess- 

 ions, I should give him two years in your 

 College first." 



We may all feel gratified by this, but 

 those of you who in a few days will 

 receive that qualification which afiiliates 

 you with our College as your Alma Mat- 

 er, will feel proud that you have by your 

 hard work, honestly attained such a dis- 

 tinction, and with your foot placed firmly 

 on the first step of the ladder, go on in- 

 creasing that knowledge, determined to 

 be students all your lives, knowing that 

 the future of the institution depends up- 

 on the efforts of its Alumni to keep it in 

 the position which it now justly claims 

 as one of the most important Colleges of 

 Pharmacy in the world. 



Annual Meeting of the New York 

 State Pharmaceutical Association will be 

 held at BuflFalo, June 23, 24, 25, George 

 J. Seabury, President. 



Having successfully graduated, your 

 first duty will be to join the Alumni As- 

 sociation of your College. 



We congratulate Charles H. Bjork- 

 wall '95; Charles E. Dosh '95; Harry 

 B. Ferguson '95; George H. Jorgensen 

 '95; Joseph F. McCarthy '93 and Herman 

 Walter '95, who were elected members of 

 the College at the last meeting of the 

 Board of Trustees. 



The College was well represented at 

 the Seventeenth Annual Exhibition of 

 the New York Microscopical Society, 

 April 14th. Exhibit No. 33, in alcove 

 III., by members of the Classes of '96 

 and '97, being quite an attraction. Pro- 

 fessor Jeliffe and Alfred H. Mason were 

 also exhibitors. 



The Fifth Annual Commencement of 

 the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy took 

 place April i6th at the Association Hall, 

 Brooklyn. Twenty-five graduates re- 

 ceived diplomas, and nine members re- 

 ceived certificates of examination. 

 "Trustees" gold medal was awarded to 

 Harry B. Palmer, of Asbury Park. 

 Silver medal to John Scheller and the first 

 "Brundage" Pharmacy Medal to E. 

 Clayton Woodcock, who delivered the 

 Valedictory address. The Alumni prize 

 was awarded to 1^. G. Rowlenson, senior 

 class. 



A humorous and practical address to 

 the graduates was delivered by Hon, 

 Henry A. Powell (who was made L.L-D. 

 for the occasion). Those on the plat- 

 form remained seated, whilst the candi- 

 dates irregularly walked down the centre 

 of the hall to their places. The hall was 

 decorated with the College colors, and 

 so were the ushers — a good miscellane- 

 ous concert helped to make a most en- 

 joyable entertainment, at which about 

 1500 persons weie present. 



At a College Meeting held on April 6th, the 

 following were unanimously elected to serve as 

 the City Board of Pharmacy for the ensuing 3 

 years: Drs. Cyrus Edson, Wm. Balser, Diek- 

 man, Jeliflfe and Mr. John Oehler, the former 

 two being elected on a separate ballot as a mark 

 of courtesy for their 21 years of active service. 



It may be interesting to note that attention 

 was called to the fact that nearly 40 per cent, of 

 the members present at the above meeting were 

 Alumnists. 



Under the guidance of Prof. Rusby as Chair- 

 man of the Committee, the meetings for the 

 reading of Scientific papers next season will 

 undoubtedly bring the members of the College 

 into closer relationship and ultimately prove 

 advantageous.
