THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



IN THE N. Y. C. P. AND ALUMNI LIMELIGHT. 



The oldest, perhaps one of the most successful and surely the 

 most popular graduate of the College of Pharmacy of New York, is 

 our venerable friend and brother alumni member, Ewen Mclntyre. 



Born at Johnstown, 

 Montgomery County (now 

 Eulton County), State of 

 New York, February 17th, 

 1825 ; his parents were 

 James and Ann Campbell 

 Mclntyre ; his father was 

 the head of the clan Mc- 

 lntyre of Scotland, and can 

 be traced back as occupy- 

 ing the farm Glenoe from 

 the thirteenth century un- 

 til the death of his great 

 grandfather in the latter 

 part of the seventeenth cen- 

 tury. 



Ewen Mclntyre attended 

 his district school oiT and 

 on until fifteen years of 

 age, and then for about 

 three years the Johnstown 

 Academy, walking the dis- 

 tance from his home daily, almost three miles ; this academy was 

 founded by Queen Ann, the Queen giving the Bell, and Sir William 

 Johnson, the Indian Colonial Agent of Great Britain, for the then 

 western part of New York, erecting- the building, which is still stand- 

 ing, but is now used as a glove factory. 



In 1842 (April) he came to New York City and entered, as an 

 apprentice, the pharmacy of George D. Coggeshall, at the corner of 

 Rose and Pearl Streets, serving his apprenticeship of four years, living 

 as was then the custom in the family of the employer; he remained 

 with Mr. Coggeshall three years more as clerk ; during this period he 

 attended the New York College of Pharmacy and graduated in 1847, 

 leaving Mr. Coggeshall in 1849.
