THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



It was indeed a jolly crowd that journeyed 

 down to a prominent place of amusement in 

 the vicinity of Tammany Hall, after Dr. Edson's 

 lecture. The first thing we did on arriving was 

 to thoroughly inspect the freaks. After this an 

 entertainment was furnished by the so-called 

 theatre, which consisted of several little 

 sketches, the most interesting being the song of 

 a burnt cork artist, in which he severely criti- 

 cised "a resigning secretary," much to the 

 amusement (?) of Mr. ImhofF. 



A meeting for the election of a secretary and 

 a valedictorian was held en Feb. i6. Mr. F. H. 

 Linning, Jr., received a handsome vote, which 

 elected him to the former position, while the 

 selection of Mr. Kussey for the latter honor was 

 unanimous. Both of the above gentlemen hail 

 from New Jersey. 



The smaller ($2.75) design of the pins sub- 

 mitted by the committee was adopted. It is 



indeed a neat design.

Section 2. 



At a meeting of the Executive Committee on 

 Commencement Exercises, held on Monday, 

 February 12th, President Ehrgott was unani- 

 mously elected chairman. 



The manufacture of "Sulphur Prtecipita- 

 tum " in the pharmaceutical laboratory caused 

 regret to appear on the faces of several unfortu- 

 nates who, in hoping that the hour to cease their 

 labors had drawn near, glanced at their silver 

 watches only to find them black as the ace of 

 spades. 



Dr. C. — The odor of isonitryl is quite pleas- 

 ant, is it not ? 



Student — Well, it depends on the taste. 



The step taken by the class, in deciding to 

 have the valedictory delivered at the class ban- 

 quet instead of commencement is a good one, 

 and should be supported by every one loyal to 

 the college. We are discarding a time-worn 

 and useless custom, and it is safe to say the step 

 will not be regretted. 



Mr. C. Iv. RiCHTER has presented to the col- 

 lege collection a number of " Terpeneless essen- 

 tial oils." 



Mr. M. W. SargeanT is assisting Dr. Rusby 

 in the Pharmacognosy room, filling the position 

 Mr. W. A. Bastedo formerly held. 



Mr. C. T. Wolff announces that he is en- 

 joying (?) the sleepless nights of a "pater fa- 

 milias." 



It is with much regret that the majority of 

 the class, in fact both classes, look upon such 

 rowdyism as was displayed by certain mem- 

 bers of both classes, during the lecture given 

 by Dr. Coblentz, on the evening of the tenth 

 of January. Actions, such as these, are looked 

 upon by men, as rowdjish, or babyish. In 

 either case they should be suppressed, by exam, 

 pie, and by college sentiment, when, if any 

 manliness exist in the miscreant, it will show 

 itself. "LOYALTy, '94."

Not hearing from the "Junior Class Repor- 

 ter " as this issue goes to press, we are unable 

 to publish any notes relating to the Junior
