N. Y. C. P. "96. 



Deuschberger met with what might be 

 called a severe accident the other day, At 

 least its the general class opinion that " 'Twas 

 a close shave." 



I AM positive the second section of the College 

 joins heartily in extending thanks to Prof. H. 

 Ferguson who so kindly and ably filled the dif- 

 ficult position of Materia Medica Quiz Master 

 during the absence of our Prof. Rusby. Mr. 

 Ferguson not only proved his ability in this ca- 

 pacity, but obtained at once a true friendly 

 feeling with the students and we feel greatly 

 indebted to him for the earnestness shown. We 

 wish him the brightest success in his future 

 undertakings. 



We are indebted to Messrs Wm. R. Warner 

 & Co. for the valuable hand-book presented to 

 each of our students, entitled " Therapeutic 

 Reference Book." It is gotten up in a very 

 unique style and proves a source of valuable 

 information. 



WANTED.— Any detailed information con- 

 cerning Mr. F. W. H, of Section i. Seen on 

 Sunday, April 12th, 8 o'clock p. m. in Hoboken 

 N. J., "rushing the growler." Last seen on 

 said day 11 o'clock p. m. with said "growler " 

 on a synonomous expedition bearing a '97 class 

 pin of the Hoboken High School. The pin is 

 said to have belonged to a 14 summer lassie of 

 that "country." 



Another luxuriant growth of lilacs manifests 

 its presence in Section 2. Friend Terry is the 

 possessor. 



At a recent meeting of the class it was de- 

 cided that a banquet be held in preference to a 

 ball. Under the circumstances this is undoubt- 

 edly a wise conclusion as the financial condi- 

 tion of many of our students at the present time 

 would not permit the latter to be carried out in 

 a manner justifyable to the PH. G's of the class 

 of '96, A committee was appointed to superin- 

 tend arrangements, select the "battle ground," 

 etc., and the affair will take place on Tuesday 

 evening, May 5th. Let it be hoped that not a 

 student be so unfortunate as to fail in his exami- 

 nation and not enjoy the pleasures of that eve- 

 ning. 



A SENIOR student of the College of Pharmacy 

 of one of our sister States being asked, "what is 

 Oil of Spike, " replied "Its and oily liquid ob- 



tained from railroad spikes." They say he 

 graduated. 



Only five of our boys failed to attain the re- 

 quired rating in practical pharmaceutical work. 

 The first prize of that department will be award- 

 ed by special examination of a certain number 

 of those having the highest rating. 



We are indebted to Prof. Coblentz for the 

 special evening lecture on prescription com- 

 pounding given us a short time since. We re- 

 gret the disturbance which ensued and the gen- 

 tlemen implicated in the "performance" ac- 

 knowledge the size of the torpedoes to have 

 been somewhat above regulation. 



One of our officers wishing to indulge in a 

 little of the pleasures of correspondence an- 

 swered by publication an "Ad" in the Herald 

 giving the college address and signing a fic- 

 ticious name which chanced to be identical to 

 that of one of our students. The latter party is 

 now in need of a private secretary. 



The exchanging of Photo's has of late been 

 the order of the day. The workmanship of the 

 club rate cabinets of the Dana Company was 

 not a decided "Ad" to the house as many of 

 the students are very dissatisfied. 



By permission of our "New Editor" I would 

 like to announce to section 2 which elected me 

 as their reporter that notwithstanding my name 

 has not been published in previous editions of 

 the Journal yet my items have each and every 

 month been published fully or in part and 

 when not signed by their proper author was 

 given credit to Mr. Morris reporter of section 

 I. Undoubtedly the error was a misunder- 

 standing at the press office. * 



A NUMBER of the boys attended Barnum & 

 Bailey's "Greatest Show on Earth" and carried 

 with them the official N. Y. C. P. flag. The 

 clown nearly spoiled their evening's entertain- 

 ment by asking if they were members of the 

 New York Catholic Protectory. 



The last hop of the Alumni Association was 

 quite largely attended and a very pleasant en- 

 tertainment given. Our famous Glee Club cap- 

 tured several applauds.

 your report upon the back of telegram forms, 

 sign your name and address in full, and we will 

 all try to give you the credit you so richly de- 

 serve.
