THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



SENIOR CLASS SUPPER. 



Class of '94 held their final reunion and ban- 

 quet at Clark's. ,It was one of the best man- 

 aged and most enjoyable dinners that the 

 students with the faculty have ever held. 

 Shortlj' after 8 the members of the class with 

 the faculty and invited guests proceeded to the 

 banquet hall. The President, who was the 

 Toastmaster, announced that "Some people 

 have large appetites and but little food ; other 

 people have little appetite and large amounts 

 of food. The Lord be praised, we have both." 

 The '"menu" card was neatly arranged and 

 will be treasured by every member of the class 

 of '94 for the pharmaceutical language and the 

 personalities contained thereon. The repast, 

 including viands and wines, was of the choicest 

 and enjoyed by all. 



When the time for speeches came Toast- 

 master Ehrgott made an address of welcome. 



This was followed by the following toasts ; 

 Our History, by Frank J. Keller. 

 Our Alma Mater, by Fred. P. Hiltz. 

 Our Faculty, by Nelson S. Kirk. * 



Our Future, \yy Joseph R. Wood. 

 Valedictory, hy Joseph Kussey. 



The gentlemen faithfully did their respective 

 parts well. The Valedictorian particularly 

 showed that he had been faithful to the trust 

 entrusted to him by his classmates. As it would 

 be impossible to give more than a few ideas 

 contained in these productions with this issue 

 of The Alumni JouRNAi„it has been decided to 

 wait until the next issue and print them in full, 

 as they fully deserve to be. 



Dr. Elliott was then called upon. He had an 

 opportunity to finish his story, to which he 

 evidently had made mention during the term 

 by reminding the class that " If thee can't do 

 better than that thee had better not try at all." 

 The moral of which was, " Men are always 

 reminded of their unfaithfulness and are not 

 always praised lor their good works, but the 

 actions of employers and superiors often speak 

 louder than words of their approval of good 

 work." He spoke feelingly of the uniform 

 interests between the faculty and students and 

 impressed upon the students the need of their 

 support in pointing others to come to the in- 

 stitution where they have received good instruc- 

 tion. 



Dr. Rusby followed, and after relating a 

 number of humorous incidents discussed the 



commercial and educational problems relating 

 to Pharmacy. This address will appear in the 

 next issue as manuscript has not been received 

 up to the time of going to press. 



Dr. Coblentz told a great many amusing 

 stories about the efforts of the junior students 

 in the pharmaceutical laboratory. He has the 

 faculty of telling them in a way which shows 

 the marked development of the boy into the 

 the man while at College. He referred to the 

 work of the Alumni Association and the neces- 

 sity of the men unitedly supporting the Asso- 

 ciation in its laudable enterprises. Mr. Oehler 

 made a clever speech that hit the mark with the 

 boys. This will be published in the next issue 

 of The Alumni Journal. 



Mr. Mattson, the Instructor in Pharmacy, 

 in congratulatory terms to the students, and 

 hoped that this achievement was the beginning 

 of a series of even greater successes. President 

 Graeser, of the Alumni Association, reminded 

 the class of the meetings of the Association once 

 a month in winter, and of the "Reunion" and 

 "Outing" during the summer. By being one of 

 the Alumni, the student shows his appreciation 

 of the institution that gave him birth as a pro- 

 fessional man. He spoke especially of greater 

 organizations in the ranks of pharmacy, and 

 stated that it was his intention within the next 

 six months to organize the members of the N. 

 Y. C. P. Alumni Association in this city, by 

 taking each assembly district and placing it in 

 charge of a resident alumnus, who shall at cer- 

 tain intervals report to the Executive Board of 

 the Association. "In this manner it will be 

 easily for us" he said, to "join hands with other 

 organizations for the common need of our pro- 

 fession. We must organize just as only large 

 bodies are organized to become powerful." 



The Editor of The Alumni Journal then re- 

 sponded and referred to the something greater 

 and grander than the mere livelihood, and even 

 life itself to each man — the something that mani- 

 fested itself in the patriotism, principles and 

 character of the men and women of the living 

 world — a loyalty such as can be shown in a 

 measure by the class joining the Alumni Associ- 

 ation, and so assisting their "Alma Mater" in 

 its mighty work. Then many members of the 

 class were called upon, among whom were : T. 

 3. Wilcox, E. Jordan, T. M. Davies, F. N. 

 Pond, A. H. T. Walker and others, all of whom 

 pledged their determination to become mission- 

 aries in the interest of their "Alma ]\[ater."
