THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



121 



Alumni Association a room in the new building, 

 and as this will give us a home in the college, I 

 would recommend the addition of a social fea- 

 ture to the curriculum of our association. In 

 addition to the social feature, I would recom- 

 mend the addition of a strictly business and 

 political feature. 



We are all aware of the unorganized condi- 

 tion of the pharmaceutical profession. We have 

 pharmaceutical organizations, but whose work 

 is not harmonious, neither of them being per- 

 fect for aggressive purposes. 



I recommend the organization of the alumnae 

 of our college for aggressive purposes by assem- 

 bly districts in this city, one man to have charge 

 of a district, after we have perfected such an 

 organization, to co-operate with other organiza- 

 tions, until we are a powerful political body. 

 We must become so strong that no act can be 

 passed by our legislature derogatory to our pro- 

 fession without we have a chance to have our 

 say. 



We have on our membership roll a number 

 of names of men who are in arrears for three 

 years or more, and who after repeated demands 

 have not paid up. I wish to call their attention 

 to Article VI, Section 9, of the By-laws, which 

 reads; Any member may be dropped from the 

 roll, after due notification, for non-payment of 

 dues for three successive years, by vote of the 

 Executive Board. Any member so dropped, 

 may be reinstated by vote of the Executive 

 Board on payment of his arrears. 



It will be necessary for us to enforce this rule 

 if the delinquents do not come forward with 

 the amount in arrears. 



Our summer reunion and outing was a great 

 success, and arrangements have been made to 

 hold another on June 20th, this year. Six lec- 

 tures on subjects of interest to students and 

 pharmacists will be delivered during the com- 

 ing year under the auspices of our association, 

 and we hope that the lecture room in the new 

 building will be filled to its utmost capacity. 



I trust that the amendment to the constitu- 

 tion making the faculty honorary members of 

 our association will be passed. 



ALUMNI OUTING. 



On June 20, at i o'clock, about fifty gentle- 

 men and ladies representing the Alumni Asso- 

 ciation, and their friends, took the Staten Island 

 boat and proceeded to New Dorp, where they 

 were cordially met by Mr. Petela, the host of 

 the day. Dancing, bowling, shooting and other 

 sports were engaged in, and at 4 o'clock the 



late contingent (who took the 3 o'clock boat) 

 arrived. Several members went rowing and 

 swimming, but all turned up smiling and hun- 

 gry at the dinner table at 5 P. M., where a right 

 royal dinner (such as only Petela's Hotel is 

 noted for) was served. The intellectual sauce 

 of the dinner was served in the way of five 

 minute speeches by Messrs. Graeser, Hohen- 

 thal and Henning, of the Association, Mr. 

 Neason and Prof. Haubold, in all about seven- 

 ty-five sat at the table. It was 10 o'clock before 

 the happy excursionists reluctantly left the 

 picnic grounds.

As many pharmacists have cats in their stores, 

 it will be well for them to know that their res-
