THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



N. Y. College of Pharmacy to not only 

 support The Journal by sending in his 

 subscription at once, but to secure a 

 number of subscribers in his vicinit}^, and 

 to lend his influence in promoting the 

 success of The Journal. Also, if he is 

 not already a member of the Alumni As- 

 sociation, we extend to him an invitation 

 to join, and in this way assist the As- 

 sociation in its work of advancing the 

 interests of our Alma Mater. 



Since the establishment of the Alumni 

 Association it has identified itself with 

 ever}^ college interest, and we believe 

 has largely assisted in its progress and 

 success. 



We know that our graduates all over 

 the country could do a grand work, 

 proving their loyalty to the college 

 which gave them their profession, by in- 

 creasing her interests in their own imme- 

 diate vicinity, and each one becoming a 

 distributing centre of college news. 



The college is now completing one of 

 the finest buildings in the world for 

 pharmaceutical education, built and de- 

 signed entirely for teaching purposes. It 

 looks to its graduates to send next year 

 a larger class than ever before. The 

 success and future of the college is de- 

 termined largely by the activity of its 

 graduates. 



Our college has always taken an ad- 

 vanced position in matters relating to 

 pharmaceutical education. This year 

 will mark another forward movement, 

 for with the new building and increased 

 facilities for practical laboratory instruc- 

 tion, largely replacing the old didactic 

 lecture system. We shall have oppor- 

 tunity for larger classes with more hours 

 of instruction, and thus aid in making 

 the graduates of the college practical 

 men in their profession. 



Advantages ot special courses can be 

 obtained by those wishing to continue 

 their studies in anv of the deoartments 



of Materia Medica, Chemistry and Phar- 

 macy. Also a post-graduate course cov- 

 ering one year of practical work and for 

 which an advanced degree will be given, 

 is promised for the session of '95-'96. 

 O. G. Harrison, M. D. 



It is with the deepest regret and sorrow 

 that we have to inform our readers of the 

 sudden death of our chief editor, Dr. 

 Oscar G. Harrison. His sad death oc- 

 curred so soon before this journal went 

 to press, that the following short histor}'^ 

 of his life and career is all that could be 

 devoted to him. Dr. Harrison was born 

 October 28, 1863, graduated at our col- 

 lege in 1S90, and from the College of 

 Physicians and Surgeons in 1891. His 

 death occurred January 14. 1894, after 

 only five days' illness with appendicitis. 

 He vi^as instructor in botany, materia 

 medica, physiology and pharmacognosy 

 at our college, and assistant to Professor 

 Wilcox at the Post Graduate Medical 

 School. In him our college, as well as 

 the Alumni Association and the students 

 lost a staunch friend, and an intelligent, 

 zealous, conscientious teacher and ad- 

 viser in the branch of knowledge to which 

 he had so earnestly devoted himself. The 

 funeral services took place Thursday, 

 January 18, at 10.30 A.M., at the Broad- 

 way Tabernacle, and was largely attend- 

 ed. There were present the faculty of 

 our college, its officers, trustees and a 

 number of its members, also members of 

 the Alumni Association, as well as a good 

 representation of the classes of '94 and 

 '95. The remains will be interred in the 

 family plot in Connectici.t.
