THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 



The dispensing department fills a want 

 and the Section Committee make a good 

 move in securing the co-operation of the 

 Board of Pharmacy to insist that candi- 

 dates appearing before the Board shall 

 have their knowledge of dispensing 

 practically tested before a certificate of 

 proficiency is granted to them. The 

 next examination by the ^Board will be 

 held October 12th. 



The first meeting of the session of the 

 New York Section of the Society of 

 Chemical Industry will be held at the 

 College, Friday, October 23d, at eight 

 o'clock. The Chairman, Prof. C. F. 

 Chandler, will deliver an adaress, and 

 important papers will be read. The 

 Trustees of the College generously grant 

 the use of the Lecture Theatre for these 

 meetings, and in return the members of 

 the College and Alumni Association are 

 invited to be present. 



The reporter to the Pharmaceittical 

 Era was wrongly informed it he was told 

 that medicines prepared in the dispensing 

 department would be given away to 

 charitable institutions. Such an idea is 

 too absurd. 



Neither a trustee nor member of the 

 faculty of the College is named on any 

 of the committees of the New York State 

 Pharmaceutical Association for 1897. 



It is reported that one of the satellites of the 

 " Druggists Circular " whilst walking along the 

 street during the " silly season " was attracted 

 by a small crowd looking at the display in the 

 window of a taxidermist. Noting the object 

 of interest, he observed — "Well, if I could 

 not stuff a bird better than that I would 

 go out of the business — what a shape the 

 body is, look at the feathers misplaced ; see 

 the position of the legs ; whoever saw an owl 

 stand like that? and the head" — ^just then the 

 owl turned and winked his eye. The lookers 

 on smiled, the speaker sneaked away, feel- 

 ing hazy after such a brilliant exhibition of his 

 powers as a critic. — McOrley.
