The efforts of this man speak very laudably for him. Seven years 

 ago Mr. Roelkey left his home at the historic town of Frederick, Mary- 

 land, and came to New York. While attending the College of Phar- 

 macy he was a junior assistant in the Department of which he is now 

 the head. 



It is indeed a pleasure to see that many of our graduates are taking 

 a lively part in the activities of the world. It speaks well for our 

 College.

DEATH OF T. D. BUHL ENDS NOTABLE CAREER. 

 NEW YORK, April 7.— Theodore D. Bulil, president of the Buhl 



Malleable Iron Works, of Detroit, president of the Detroit National 

 bank and also of the firm of Parke, Davis & Co., chemical and drug 

 manufacturers, dropped dead today on the street near the Waldorf- 

 Astoria hotel, where he had been a guest. Death was due to apoplexy. 



Accompanied by his wife and granddaughter, Elizabeth Warren, 

 his brother-in-law, F. H. Walker, and the latter's wife, Mr. Buhl 

 arrived in this city from Boston Saturday night to meet Mr. and Mrs. 

 J. Harrington Walker, who were already at the Hotel ^lanhattan. 

 The Walkers registered at the FloUand house, and Air. r)uhl, with his 

 wife and granddaughter, went to the Waldorf-Astoria hotel. 



Following luncheon today Mr. Buhl who appeared in good health 

 and spirits, remained about the rotunda of the hotel for about two 

 hours talking with business associates. Shortly after 3 o'clock he 

 told Mrs. Buhl that he felt like taking a walk. His wife decided to 

 remain in her room. Mr. Buhl left the hotel and started to walk west 

 in Thirty-fourth street toward r)roadway, when in front of the Astor 

 National bank next door to the hotel, he fell dead. 



M. A. McCusker, assistant manager of the Waldorf-Astoria, who 

 was leaving the hotel at the time, saw Mr. Buhl fall, and summoning 

 two cabmen, carried the body into the rotunda, where it was examined 

 by Dr. Robert Adauss, house physician at the Waldorf, and Dr. 

 Stewart, of the New York Hospital. They stated that death had 

 followed a stroke of apoplexy. 



Airs. Buld was prostrated bv the news of her husband's death. Word 

 was sent to Mr. Walker, who was waiting at the Grand Central depot 

 for his train for Detroit. He hu^-ried to the hotel, and with the per- 

 mission of the coroner, assumed charge of the body. The Buhls had 

 planned to spend the week here, where Mr. Buhl had business to 

 transact.
