16 THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



* 



there you are mistaken, no niatter how poorly yott write or how bad 

 the grammar, if you have only the text or theme, leave the linguistic 

 brilliancy or the literary talent to our editorial censors, and lo, like 

 A-laddin's lamp, which did wonders, so will your ideas be drawn out in 

 proper style. 



So much for a while, but do not let the subject drop here, keep up 

 the good work of enlightening your brethren, and you will be rewarded 

 by that fame which must come to all who display their calling in the 

 proper way. 



At the last meeting of our association some of the members com- 

 plained that now and then they fail to receive their copy of The 

 Journal. We wish to say right here that when this happens to any of 

 our readers, if they will just drop a postal to the editor he will at once 

 mail another copy, and see why last copy was not delivered. We wish 

 it understood that all of our readers should receive each and every 

 copy of their Journal, and where such failure of delivery occurs, we 

 want to see that it is attended to at once. 



MR. PHILIP FITZ TAKES WELL MERITED REST AND A 



TRIP ABROAD. 



After many years of conscientious service as manager of one of 

 William Wilson's drug stores, Mr. Philip Fitz has terminated his en- 

 gagement and sailed for Europe. 



Mr. Fitz had been contemplating this trip for some time, and the 

 closing of Wilson's stores hastened his preparations. He sailed on 

 January 9th by the American Line to London. While there he will 

 make his headquarters with his parents whom he has not seen for 

 several years. It is his intention also to visit the leading retail drug 

 establishments and many of the wholesale drug houses throughout 

 England and Scotland. He will return during the second week of 

 February and begin a new engagement. 



Mr. Fitz has had a wide experience in the management of retail 

 drug stores, also as an analytical and consulting chemist. He will 

 probably return from his trip abroad with many new ideas relative to 

 modern pharmacy. 



We wish Mr. Fitz every enjoyment during his absence, and we hope 

 he will return much recuperated from his stay in foreign parts.
