A MESSAGE FROM THE MEMBER- 

 SHIP COMMITTEE. 



To The Aluimni: 



The history of the steady g^rowth of 

 the College of Pharmacy of the City of 

 New York from a course of a few even- 

 ing" lectures given in one room to a hand- 

 ful of ambitious young men, to the 

 present complete, all-inclusive and com- 

 plex course of lecture and laboratory in- 

 struction given through two full years 

 of study to classes totaling five hundred 

 men and women, is well known to all 

 pharmacists in the country. 



This institution, educationally and 

 financially successful to a degree far be- 

 yond the fondest hopes of its founders, 

 now feels the need of the co-operation 

 of the retail pharmacist, especially those 

 who have their places of business within 

 the limits of the greater City. 



The Board of Trustees feels that with 

 this co-operation, th-e power of advance- 

 ment for good in education, legislation 

 and in ethics will be increased manyfold. 



What is asked of you is that you sign 

 an application for membership. This 

 will be submitted to the Membership 

 Committee of the Board of Trustees and 

 if you are found to be of good standing 

 in the profession, you will be elected to 

 membership. There is no initiation fee ; 

 an annual contribution of $5.00 is re- 

 quested. Upon the payment of $100 you 

 willbe entitled to life membership. A 

 certificate of such membership in the 

 College will be issued to those desiring 

 it. 



As the source from which you must 

 draw your registered clerks, your in- 

 terest in this College becomes to you a 

 business proposition. Your duty to take 



your share in its management becomes 

 clear. Founded by retail pharmacists, it 

 must be continued by retail pharmacists 

 in order that the best results may be 

 accomplished. 



Whether you find it possible to join 

 this organization or not, it is our pleas- 

 ure to offer to you every facility at our 

 hands; our faculty, our library and our 

 laboratories, to use as you may at any 

 time require them. 



With high hope for the future of our 

 profession, we remain. 



The Membership Committee, 



F. K. James, Chairman, 

 247 West 46th Street. 



At the annual meeting of the College, 

 to be held on Tuesday evening, March 

 21, officers and trustees will be elected 

 to succeed those whose terms expire on 

 July I. At this time Professor Henry 

 P. Hynson will make an address on a 

 commercial topic of interest to every 

 pharmacist. All members of the Alumni 

 Association are invited to attend this 

 meeting. 



It has been decided to install 500 steel 

 lockers for the use of the students next 

 year, each student to be assigned an in- 

 dividual locker. This will do away with 

 the present checking system, which has 

 proven unsatisfactory in many ways. 



It is also planned to re- decorate the 

 store room in the basement which will 

 be used by Professor Diekman as a lab- 

 oratory and exhibition room. Such lab- 

 oratory work as requires steam or elec- 

 tricity will be carried on there, and there 

 will be a permanent exhibit of phar- 

 maceuticals and galenicals.
