THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 



'93 NOTES. 



I have an item of news, which I feel sure will 

 be welcomed with joy by all readers of this 

 column. Mr. J. Tannenbaum, my predecessor, 

 as official reporter, has kindly volunteered to 

 collaborate with me, and will, after this month, 

 send all articles of interest to the class, which 

 he hears of, to the editor. A decided improve- 

 ment in the quality and quantity of the news 

 will be apparent with the next issue, of that I 

 feel sure. 



George Merker is now head clerk for Mr. 

 Aronstamm, 105th street and 3d ave. There 

 won't be much room left at the top if our boys 

 keep on going up at the rate they have been 

 lately. 



J. P. Colonel has subscribed to the Journal. 

 He is the proprietor of a prosperous pharmacy 

 on 3d avenue, near 109th street. 



One of the most prominent figures in north 

 New York social events is James Brooklyn 

 Wilson. He is the leading light in literary and 

 chess circles, his habit of thinking profoundly 

 making him a valuable acquisition to the so- 

 ciety of those interested in such subjects. 



At an auction which was held recently, there 

 was an aggregation of wit, beauty and wealth, 

 such as is seldom brought together. There was 

 Uhle, Tannenbaum and Jarchow. Said Uhle, 

 "Don't bid on chandeliers, I want them." 



Tanny said "Let me get a show-case as cheap 

 as I can." 



"Leave the soda fountain to me," said Jar- 

 chow." 



With true fraternal feeling they agreed and 

 adjourned .across the street to bind, or rather 

 float the compact. When they returned the store 

 had been sold in a block, and all Uhle could do 

 was to gaze reproachfully on the auctioneer who 

 did not seem to feel remorse. 



Expense account : Uhle, for cab and fluids, 

 I2.40; Jarchow, car fare and liquid food, 6oc. • 

 Tanny, wear and tear on shoes and for binding 

 one compact, 37c. 



In the course of my meanderings I met 

 Teddy Edlich, and on my asking him to wan- 

 der with me, he said me nay. As he did so, he 

 gave vent to the sage remark, that there are 

 many things we would do, if it were not for the 

 thought of the next morning. Another philo- 

 sopher discovered.

'94 NOTES. 



Roll of Honor October 14th: Burger, Erb, 

 Fendler, Geisler, Grube, Herold, Kirk, Kreu- 

 der and Stoerzer. 



Max A. Auerbach was so seriously injured 

 some time ago, while riding his wheel, that he 

 was advised by his physician not to study this 

 season, consequently he accepted a position 

 with Gustav Schwab at Tompkinsville, Staten 

 Island. 



Emil Schlichting writes from Stade that 

 the Alumni Journal reminds him of the "jolly 

 college days." He is now in Munich. What a 

 pleasure it would be, if more of our classmates 

 were as thoughtful as Friend Schlichting. 



Henry Fendler with his phenominal her- 

 sute appendage, recently conducted Herold 

 through the Morgue. As he is nearly an M. D. 

 now, it was a "dead easy" task for him. 



This story is told of a certain paity who avails 

 himselfof college principles, and was a short 

 time ago, overcome while generating chlorine 

 gas in the laboratory; being a healthy individ 

 ual, though addicted more or less to the use of 

 alcoholic stimulants, the following theory was 

 advanced. By the action of chlorine gas on the 

 alcohol present in his system, aldehyde was 

 formed, further saturation produced chloral, 

 which in turn was acted upon by the alkaline 

 juices forming chloroform. 



Ezra J. HorTon who is located in Peeks- 

 kill, is reported as being an exceedingly hospit. 

 able host. During the summer some of our 

 boys have been to see him, and they all speak 

 of his "putting them on the hose," during their 

 visit. 



AT the October reception of the Eighth Regi- 

 ment, I was much interested in the manoeuvers 

 of Segt. Davies and his company of seven. 

 Though the smallest company on the floor, he 

 commanded them in such a masterly way as to 

 come in for a large share of applause. 



One of our boys who spent his vacation in 

 Boston this year, overheard a precise maiden 

 fair, call for a thimble as an argentous turnicat- 

 ed cone, convex on its summit and semi-perf- 

 orated with symmetrical identations. 



BEAR these facts in mind:— Alumni Reception 

 at College, on Nov. i8th; Dinner on Dec. 2d; 

 and Ball, Jan. 20, all on Wednesday evenings.
