i6 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



microtomes and other appliances have been added to the Department of Pharmacognosy, 

 All this Mr. Kemp has done quietly and unassumingly, deserving the unstinted 

 praise and thanks which were freely and unanimously accorded him at a regular meet- 

 ing of the C. P. C. N. Y. 



A " special lecture " is to be delivered by Professor Coblentz to the members of the 

 College and of the Alumni, explaining the various uses to which the different pieces 

 of apparatus are put in lecturing to the classes of the C. P. C N. Y. 



The date has been set as February 22, 1900, at 8 P. M., in the lecture room.

Any of our Alumni members or their friends who thought that interest and attend- 

 ance at our receptions were beginning to wane will be agreeably surprised to learn 

 that the last reception was the best from every standpoint that the Association has 

 ever held. The library and hall of the college were comfortably filled with the mem- 

 bers of the association and their lady and gentlemen friends. Professor Mandelbaum 

 officiated at the piano 'and the kind and quality of the music he rendered was even 

 better than usual, which, as you all know, is saying a great deal for the genial 

 "Mandy." 



Among those present I noticed the Misses Hoburg, Wehl, F. Merritt, M. Stage, K. 

 Stage, R. Merritt, Wolff, Conners, Phoebe, Bjorkwall, A. Humphryes, D. Humphryes, 

 H- White, M. White, Groome, Selwood, and Mrs. Gies ; also Messrs. Furnival, Palmer, 

 Kirk, Henderich, Decker, Jorgenson, McGahen, McManiis, Hoburg, Frb, Meinecke 

 and Drs. Bjorkwall, Diekmau, H. B. Ferguson and Gies. 



In connection with the foregoing let me add that the committee having the recep- 

 tion in charge, does not propose to allow the interest to subside, and promises for the 

 next reception (Time : Wednesday, February 21, 1900 ; Place : College library at 8:30 

 P. M. ) an evening of rare enjoyment, and several entertaining surprises, as already 

 announced in the December number. 



F'inally let me impress upon you not to forget the date as above stated, and as a 

 parting piece of advice to the Alumni members and their friends let me once more add 

 " Come one, come all, and don't forget (above all things don't forget) to bring the 

 ladies." R. G. 



The following in the form of a very neat circular has been issued by the Chairman 

 of the Ball Committee and is to be commended. 



In this way each and every member of a committee or sub-committee knows in ad- 

 vance just what his duties will be ; therefore any one not feeling confident of being 

 able to serve has good and timely notice to begin training. 



Dear Sir : It affords this Committee great pleasure to notify you that you have 

 been placed upon the Committee.
