THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



SUCCESSFUL N. Y. C. P. GRADUATES. 



Of the younger members of the faculty of the College of 

 Pharmacy of the City of New York it is very hard indeed to tell 

 who is the best and most fitted for the position which they 



respectively occup3\ for 

 they have all passed 

 through such a thorough 

 preliminary training, and 

 all have demonstrated 

 their various abilities in 

 the Pharmaceutical and 

 Chemical lines that it is 

 extremely diflicult to find 

 such a corps of Professors 

 and Instructors as are 

 now following their- voca- 

 tions as such in our grand 

 College ; and as oppor- 

 tunity presents we will 

 endeavor to outline from 

 time to time the life histo- 

 ry of those who come un- 

 der our notice — one of 

 these is Dr. Curt P. Wim- 

 mcr. Dr. Wimmer was 

 born July 2nd, 1879, in 

 Salzungen, Germany; he 

 received his early education in the schools of his native town pas- 

 sing through the diiTerent grades, equivalent to our Primary, Gram- 

 mar and High Schools, subsequently going to Kassel and attended 

 the courses of instruction at the "Ober-real-schule." At the age 

 of seventeen he passed his final examination (Arbiturium) with 

 such hieh honors, that the faculty absolved him entirely from the 

 customary additional written and verbal tests ; he then entered the 

 field of Pharmacy, becoming duly apprenticed and after serving 

 in this capacity for some time, decided to come to the United 

 States, arriving in New York City early in the year 1898.
