C. U. C. P. ALUMNI JOURNAL 



The accompanying- sketch in black and 

 white gives a good suggestion of this 

 scene. 



We must not forget, in our grateful- 

 ness to Dr. Fraser for the jars and to 

 Mr. Breitenbach for the plants, our in- 

 debtedness to the C. U. C. P. Alumni 

 Journal editor for his fable of the 

 "little bird," and to Mr. Simpson of the 

 office, whose keen appreciation of the 

 aesthetic values in everyday living has 

 brought the whole matter of fern boxes 

 to such a satisfactory conclusion. 



One may very properly become remi- 

 niscent at the close of the year and of 

 the volume, and recall pleasantly the 

 state of progress of any adventure, and 

 the friends who have encouraged it. 



We look into our "accessions book" 

 and see that two hundred and fifty-five 

 volumes have been added since January 

 first. Fifty-six of these were gifts, one 

 hundred and thirty were volumes of 

 journals newly bound, and sixty-nine 

 came to us through the "regular appro- 

 priation" by purchase. The donors' 

 names appear (arranging them alpha- 

 betically) : 



Arny, Professor H. V. 



Casavis, J. N. (presentation copy). 



College of Physicians and Surgeons' 

 library. 



Columbia University library. 

 Diekman, Mrs. G. C. 

 Hostmann, Professor J. 

 Lyon, Professor A. B. (presentation 

 copy). 



Mansfield, Professor W. (presentation 

 copy). 



Rubinfeld. S. F. 



Rudolph, Miss A. 



Rusby, Dean H. H. 



Schleussner. R. 



For the gift of pamphlets and of odd 

 numbers of journals to complete our 

 sets, we recall especially the kindness of 

 Professor Kremers of the Wisconsin 

 University, Dean Rusby, Professor Diek- 

 man, the Lloyd Library of Cincinnati, 

 the C. U. C. P. Alumni Journal, The 

 Pharmaceutical Era, and the state phar- 

 maceutical associations that have sent us 

 reports of their proceedings. 



Of those who have contributed jour- 

 nals for the reading tables we have al- 

 ready published lists in this Journal, and, 

 therefore, will not repeat for lack of 

 space. We certainly have appreciated 

 all these "beneficiaries," and, not the less 

 because we have not mentioned them 

 heretofore, some personal letters of com- 

 mendation or encouragement from such 4 

 good-wishers as Mr. Thomas J. Keenan 

 and Professor Edward Kremers, and the 

 many little kindnesses of those who live 

 their everyday life with us about the 

 College. 



We make our profound bow to these 

 and also to all the students of the Senior 

 and Junior classes, who have helped us 

 magnificently this year to establish a 

 real library "atmosphere," as it has been 

 called, that impresses so agreeably the 

 outsider, coming in to do research work 

 free from annoyance. We wish )'0U all 

 a happy Christmas and a happier New 

 Year, and hope that you in turn will like 

 to join us in the same delightfully help- 

 ful and sympathetic spirit, as you did 

 yesterday, when we pass on into the 



"To-morrow to fresh woods and pas- 

 tures new." 



Library hours, from 10 a. m. to 2 

 p. m., and from 3 to 5 afternoons, 

 except on Saturdays.
