EDITORIAL. 



Outing Day, Wednesday, June 17th, 

 is what we must look forward to now. 

 The members of the Association and 

 their friends should make every effort to 

 be present, each determined that one and 

 all shall have an enjo3'able time. 



Alumni Day 1896, has passed. All 

 reports testify that it proved a great suc- 

 cess. We congratulate the committee on 

 this success, and we acknowledge the 

 enthusiasm of the reporters, and thank 

 them for their assistance. 



Commencement Day 1896,^ has also 

 passed. We congratulate the class of '96 

 that this event proved one of the most 



brilliant of its kind. The decorations of the 

 platform were handsome, and whilst the 

 boys did the work which ' 'talks," we must 

 not forget what a debt of gratitude the col- 

 lege owes to Messrs. Atwood, Macmahan, 

 and Massey, the committee who so suc- 

 cessfully carried out all the details. This 

 was the last public official act of President 

 Samuel W. Fairchild, whose dignified 

 and urbane manner in conducting the 

 proceedings contributed largely to thesuc- 

 cess. Mr. Fairchild retires from the 

 presidency after a long, trying, but faith- 

 ful service of six years, during which 

 period great things have been accom- 

 plished for the college. On his retirement 

 he carries with him the gratitude of the 

 whole pharmaceutical world for the suc- 

 cess which has attended his efforts, and 

 the highest esteem of all those whose 

 privilege it has been to have been as- 

 sociated with him in the work. 



We all welcome our new President, 

 Mr. Edward Kemp, who takes ofiBce to- 

 day. He is a wholesale druggist and 

 manufacturing pharmacist, and head of 

 the firm of Lanman & Kemp. Reference 

 to the PharjnaceiUical Era, March 19, 



1896, will tell you something ofthe good 

 qualities of our new President. 



Mr. Horatio N. Fraser retires 

 from the office of treasurer. He has been 

 associated with Mr. Fairchild in this 

 capacity during his whole term of office, 

 and in various ways has greatly contri- 

 buted to bring about the success which 

 has been achieved. With his knowledge 

 of finance and his personal magnetism 

 with financeers, he has been able to tide us 

 over troublesome waters, and we are in- 

 debted to him for his generous assistance. 

 He IS succeeded by Mr. Herbert C. 

 Robbins, of the firm of McKesson & Rob- 

 bins, who is also President of the New 

 York Quinine and Chemical Works, so
