THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



'94 NOTES, 

 Having to use the popular expression, "been 

 jumped on" considerably, for the brevity in my 

 notes in the last issue, I will take this oppor- 

 tunity of setting myself right. Early in March 

 I made an examination of the subscription 

 book, which revealed a host of delinquents, 

 many of them being prominent men, and as this 

 state of affairs cannot be remedied any too soon 

 I resolved to "shake them up'- at once, feeling 

 confident that my colleagues, Lohr and Burger 

 would make up any deficiency that might re- 

 sult from the aforesaid brevity. These delin- 

 quents take up so much of my spare time, that 

 I think eventually of adopting the tactics of my 

 friend, Goodfellow Gunning, editor of the 

 Tombstone Inscription, whose favorite and ef- 

 fective means of collecting subscriptions is to 

 fire a load of shot into the delinquent subscrib- 

 scribers as they pass his door, which invariably 

 reminds them quite forcibly of their tardiness. 

 Are you one of these delinquents? If so, kind 

 ly settle up at your earliest opportunity, so that 

 I may not be justified in giving this "song and 

 dance" again. 



By the way, the N. Y. C. P. Cyclers have re- 

 sumed their runs, and would be pleased to hear 

 from any of "Our Graduates" who are devotees 

 of the wheel, and desire to join them in a run 

 under the Blue and Gold. 



I UNDERSTAND that '96 and '97 are going to 

 urge the College authorities to adopt the Class 

 pin, used by '92, '93, '94 and '96, as the oflBcial 

 Class pin. It is more worthy of the support 

 the Alumni members will give it. 



I HAVE always regretted that '95 bolted, for 

 our pin is recognized as the N. Y. C. P., or to 

 be "up to date," the C. P. C. N. Y. pin every- 

 where. 



The Alumni Sociables have proved them- 

 selves to be proper affairs, in the right direct- 

 ion, affairs which are going to make it more 

 active than ever. Already several old gradu- 

 ates have joined us and a host will follow suit. 



Though sorry I cannot announce the course 

 of the Reception Committee's work next season. 

 I feel convinced that they will be authorized to 

 carry on their gatherings in much the same 

 manner as has already predominated, with pos- 

 sibly greater facilities. These sociables, espec- 

 ially the receptions are popular to the under 

 graduates and I hope in the future will prove 

 more so to the Alumnists and graduates. 



Burger is continually expanding his sub- 

 maxillary area with schemes, his latest one is an 

 Alumni Nutting Party to be held next Fall. 

 Quite an idea, and George will doubtless ex- 

 pound his ideas in such a way as to make it a go. 



I NOTE with pleasure the addition of two 

 more '94 men to the militia of their respective 

 States. Col. Louis B. Wade of Erasers is a pri- 

 vate (with hopes) in our crack Seventh, while 

 Carl Richter occupies in the Second, N. G. S. 

 N. J. the rank which Davies refers to as "horse 

 pistol steward. Thus at the present time we 

 have T. M. Davies, '94, 8th Reg't, N. Y. ; E. C. 

 Webb, '93, 8th Reg't, N. Y. ; L. B. Wade, '94, 

 7th Reg't, N. Y. ; C. Richter, '94, 2d Reg't, N.J. 



After leaving his position in Mott Street, I 

 mean Mott Haven, Bernard Mueller accepted 

 another in Fleischmann's N. Y., which has 

 proved to his liking to such an extent, that he 

 will probably locate there shortly. 



Tunis F. Cook is with Speth, Cornelia Street 

 and Broadway, Brooklyn, and Lauffer is with 

 Sautter, Bedford Avenue and S. 5th Street. 

 Have not as yet had an opportunity to interview 

 them. 



Frank E. Eei.y has joined the now large 

 list of '94 Benedicts and is with Lord's Pharma- 

 cy at 36th Street and Seventh Avenue. Again 

 we extend our best wishes. 



It has become my sad duty to inform my 

 class-mates of the loss of one of our goodly 

 number in Fred. W. Drenckhahn which occured 

 in February. He will be remembered as a friend, 

 who, in the proverbial balance, would never be 

 found wanting. His demise robs his family of 

 a devoted son and brother, whose future was 

 one of the brightest. May his soul rest in peace. 



George H. Born, '86 and Henry G. Born, 

 '94 have together purchased a store on Bedford 

 Avenue, Brooklyn. George has been in busi- 

 ness for himself for some time, and will doubt- 

 less find a good partner in his brother, who has 

 the reputation of "punching pills" as fast as the 

 next one. 



George S. Tomlinson is conducting the 

 store formerly controlled by his father, the late 

 George G. Tomlinson on Amsterdam Avenue 

 and io2d Street. 



Nelson S. Kirk, Ph. G. 



9 East 59th Street.
