 My Dear '\l\\ Editor: 



I am not a member of the Alumni Association or a graduate 

 of your College of Pharmacy l)ut I have the greatest hope of being 

 both in a few years. I have l)ecn receiving your Alumni Journal 

 for some time and am pleased to state that it has most invariably 

 contained instructive information, and although I am not advanced 

 far enough to contribute any scientific paper to your Journal, I 

 am going to write about a very pleasant trip I had during my 

 vacation this summer, and if you thmk it worthy of space, I am 

 sure that it will interest some of my brother Pharmaceutists. 



Taking the Hudson River Day Line boat we had a delightful 

 trip up the Hudson as far as Albany ; the weather and scenery were 

 superb ; from Albany we went by trolley to Schenectady, a trip of 

 about one hour, through a very nice country. 



We used Sclienectady as a central point as from there you 

 can travel in all directions for miles by trolley; of course our first 

 day was spent seeing the old town of Schenectady, where the 

 second railroad in the world was built, running from Schenectady 

 to Albany. This is a city of about 75,000 inhal)itants, its principal 

 business l)eing the General Electric Works and the American Loco- 

 motive ^Vorks.
