 this session. The students and their friends, as

 large lecture hall. 



The lecture on December 9th, by Mr. G. W. 

 •Hopping, will be of an educational character, 

 &ni\t\t^di "Hints as to Business Methods,'' and 

 it is hoped, the students and those already in 

 business, will avail themselves of the opportu- 

 nity to listen to some plain talking and advice 

 from an expert.

RECEPTION TO JUNIOR CLASS. 



The commencement of the Sixty-seventh ses- 

 sion of the College on the evening of Monday, 

 September 28th, was marked by a pleasant in- 

 novation in the ceremonies usually incident to 

 the opening of the regular lecture term. It has 

 been customary heretofore to assemble the 

 newly enrolled students at the college at a stat- 

 ed hour in the afternoon of the opening day. 

 and conduct them at once over the different 

 departments under the guidance of a committee 

 of the instructors, who explained the details of 

 the different courses and arranged for a division 

 of the class into sections so as to facilitate the 

 work of the departments. This year a differ- 

 ent custom was adopted, and this feature of the 

 college course was set down in the calendar as 

 "reception to the junior class." The junior 

 students were assembled in the main lecture 

 hall of the building at 8 o'clock in the evening, 

 being escorted there by a committee of the sen- 

 ior class appointed for this purpose. The hall 

 was well filled, the number present furnishing 

 a gratifying indication of the popularity of the 

 country's leading institution for the education 

 of students in the ancient art of pharmacy. 



Hermon W. At wood, the chairman of the 

 Lecture Committee, presided during the even- 

 ing, and with him on the platform were seated 

 Prof. Virgil Coblentz, general director of the 

 chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories; Pro- 

 fessors Rusby, Ferguson (G. A.), Jelliffe and 

 Diekman, and Instructors Oehler, Reilly and 

 Ferguson (Harry B). The Board of Trustees 

 was represented by Thomas J. Macmahan, Al- 

 bert Plaut, Charles S. Erb, Ernst Molwitz, and 

 Charles Holzhauer. 



As a means of establishing at once a friendly 

 feeling between the new students and their in- 

 structors and bringing them into close touch, 

 the arrangements of the evening could not well 

 have been improved upon. The teaching fac- 

 ulty and trustees of the college were introduced 

 to the assembled students, and the professors 

 delivered brief addresses outlining the courses 

 of instruction for which they were respectively 

 responsible. The trustees spoke of the privil- 

 eges of the students and alluded fully in some 

 instances to the high standard of education 

 maintained by the authorities of the C. P. C. N. 

 \, Thus, after a few introductory remarks 

 from Chairman Atwood, who extended to the 

 newly enrolled students a cordial welcome,
