Volume YII. 



With this, the January number, the Journal of Pharmacology 

 opens its books for another year of progress. lyittle by little it has worked 

 itself forward and upward, until now we find it climbing the seventh 

 round of the ladder of time and journalistic success. As time rolls on it 

 is ever endearing itself to its readers, and monthly it is looked forward to 

 with interest. 



It has, through the medium of the class notes, brought together, at least 

 in thought and memory, classmates of yore, who otherwise might never 

 hear of each other. It has looked after the interest of the undergraduates 

 who are with us and who we hope will soon become members of our 

 Association. 



It has published interesting and instructive papers touching upon the 

 various branches which go to make up the educational and practical sides 

 of Pharmacy. Last but not least, in fact, greatest of all, it has fought with 

 untiring energy for the PREREQUISITE-GRADUATE CLAUSE. 



Volume VII. will not be amiss, but all these features will be retained 

 and no amount of effort or labor will be spared in making and keeping it 

 the par excellence of alumni journals. 



From time to time there appears in the local press many items of inter- 

 est regarding pharmacy and pharmacists. When we read them, often 

 they do not appeal to us in any way, and little do we think of how much 

 interest they might be to others. It has been suggested that a book con- 

 taining clippings from the newspapers be kept in the Alumni Room. 



This suggestion has met with such common favor that the editor desires 

 to announce that such a book has been prepared, and urges the readers of 

 the Journal to send in any item appertaining to pharmacy or pharma- 

 cists ; these items to be other than pharmaceutical press notices.
