THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



CLASS OF '95. 



The opportunities the present class '95 pos- 

 sess for distinguishing itself, are unsurpassed by 

 any that have gone before or shall hereafter 

 present themselves. 



First, we shall have the honoi of being the 

 first class to graduate from the new college; and 

 since the new college is but the realization of 

 our faculty's fondest dreams and years of hope, 

 it is only natural that the fruit of their first 

 year's labor will be anxiously watched and the 

 results carefully weighed. 



When the class leaves this building, it will not 

 then mark the cessation of our faculty's anxiety, 

 ^or 'twill only have begun ! Results are far 

 more reaching. Their friends share this anxiety, 

 and in fact, the eyes of the pharmaceutical 

 world are upon us. With such unprecedented 

 opportunities and close vigil — shall we not dis- 

 tinguish ourselves and reflect credit on the labors 

 of our faculty? 



The new building forms an epoch in the his- 

 tory of the college, and the success or failure of 

 our class to make for itself a name, will con- 

 stantly be pointed out as a criterion or as a 

 shoal. I am sure we feel the responsibility on 

 us and will do our utmost to meet the occasion. 



The class of '95 after one or two efforts, have 

 succeeded in organizing, and are now in work- 

 ing condition. 



After some deliberation, it was decided to ap- 

 point a committee of three from each section, to 

 meet as a joint committee and report at a later 

 meeting, nominations for the various offices. 



The committee was composed as follows from 

 section 2 : Messrs. Gies, Broesler and Hensel. 

 From section i Messrs. Sheahan, DeSoto and 

 Bannon. 



The following nominations were reported ; 

 President, Messrs- Henchel, Brown and Bailey. 



Vice-President, Messrs. Hall, Ferguson and 

 Broesler. 



Secretary, Messrs. Heffley, Miller and Hensel. 



Treasurer, Miss Mahoney and Messrs. Carter 

 and De Soto. 



The meeting was called to order by Mr. Wat- 

 ling, vice-president, for our junior year. Mr. 

 Frank Chambers was elected chairman, and it 

 is but justice to him to state that he wielded the 

 gavel in an admirable manner. The commit- 

 tee's report was handed in, and on motion of 

 Mr. Cooley, was accepted. 



After little discussion it was decided to vote for 

 the four officers on the one ticket. 



Mr. Vanderbeck's motion empowering the 

 chairman to appoint tellers was carried, and the 



following named gentlemen were appointed : 

 Messrs. Gies, T. P. Heffley and Watling. 



The election which followed resulted in the 

 following named gentlemen being chosen : 



For President. Jesse Irving Bailey, of Arming 

 ton, 111. 



For Vice-President, Harry B. Ferguson, of 

 Little Falls, N. Y. 



For Secretary, Thomas Philson Heffley, of 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. 



For Treasurer, James Burton Carter, of Alfred 

 Centre, N. Y. 



The meeting then adjourned. 



President Bailey called a meeting on the Wed- 

 nesday following to elect class reporters and to 

 talk over plans for the formation of a glee club. 



Mr. Frank Chambers was selected as reporter 

 from section 2, and Frank Bannon from section 

 I. The question of the glee club was then taken 

 up, and on motion of Mr. Chambers, Messrs. 

 Bailey, Gies, and Sutorius were appointed a 

 committee to make arrangements for the same- 



This committee gave notice to those desiring 

 to join the club to meet them at the pharma- 

 ceutical club, at 37 Fast 19th street, on Friday, 

 Nov. 9. The following named gentlemen were 

 present : 



Messrs. Bailey, Gies, Sutorius, Sherman, Coo- 

 ley, Wells, D. M. Harding, Hilliard, Gieschen, 

 Brenke, Dosh and Bannon. The boys were all 

 agreeably surprised to find in their fellow class- 

 mate, Mr. Rudolph Gies, a musician and a 

 musical instructor of rare ability. 



It is to be hoped that a sufficient number of 

 the boys will take an interest in this department 

 sufficient to repa}' him for his work so cheerfully 

 given, ai\d add to their own glory and the honor 

 of the college. As guests of the pharmaceutical 

 club, the above named gentlemen have nothing 

 but praise for the members of the club, who treat" 

 ed them so hospitably in their pleasant and neatly 

 furnished rooms. It is the opinion of the 

 writer that the pharmaceutical rooms at 37 

 East 19th street are thoroughly up to date for 

 batchelor pharmacists to spend pleasant even- 

 ings. Of course, married pharmacists always 

 spend their evenings at home. 



After Mr. Cooley and Mr. Dosh who were en- 

 gaged with others in a pool match, had driven 

 the balls in all directions, except the direction 

 of the pockets; the party adjourned to the re- 

 ception room where Mr. Gies made a few pleas- 

 ant and appropriate remarks, in regard to the 

 glee club and the arrangements made for the 

 training of the same. During the evening Messrs. 

 Bailey and Gies gave some choice selections on
