SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMEN DINNER. 



The Annual Dinner of the freshmen 

 and sophomore classes was held at the 

 Hotel Marie Antoinette on the evening 

 of May 9th, 1916. 



When the coffee and cigars were be- 

 ing enjoyed, Toastmaster Bacon, '17, 

 called upon Dean Rusby as the first 

 speaker of the evening. Our Dean was 

 at his best and in his usual extremely 

 interesting manner related to those 

 present the history of the "University 

 Class," describing the birth thereof, 

 the reasons therefor, its early struggles, 

 and, in closing, called attention to the 

 steady increase in quality and quantity 

 of students and congratulated the mem- 

 bers of the two classes upon the very 

 satisfactory progress they were mak- 

 ing with their studies. The Toastmast- 

 er then presented Professor Wimmer 

 who dwelt at some length upon the 

 hard work carried on by Dean Rusby 

 in the institution of the course and in 

 gradually revising and adding to it un- 

 til it finally had reached its present 

 state of efficiency. 



Jeannot Hostman briefly directed the 

 attention of the students to the bene- 

 fits obtainable from their instruction 

 and deplored the fact that so many en- 

 tered the course simply preparatory to 

 the study of medicine I he speaker as- 

 serted that a demand for real trained 

 pharmaceutical chemists would soon be 

 at hand and that the instruction being 

 given had been devised to fit the stu- 

 dent for the pursuit of this attractive 

 and remunerative profession. 



Dr. Brown urged his hearers to take 

 the proper interest in student activities 

 at the same time giving a timely warn- 

 ing that study must come first and 

 should not be neglected. In closing, he 

 requested the co-operation of the two 

 classes to help make the Junior Class 

 Day exercises a success. 



Roy Lehman, '17 and Joseph Triner, 

 '18, responded for their respective 

 classes and Vilma Kleppner, '17, for 

 the ladies. Regrets were received from 

 Professors Diekman and Arny. 



The Faculty was represented by 

 Dean Rusby, Professor Wimmer, Dr. 

 Brown and Mr. Hostmann. 



The following students were present : 

 Miss Kleppner and Messrs. Hammond, 

 Lehman, Bacon, German, Corti and 

 Rizzo of the sophomore class, and 

 Misses Argueso and Kish and Messrs. 

 Holtzman, Anopol, Vorsanger, Bailin,

 la, Wilson, Concialdi and Brieger of
