THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 155 



•99 Notes. 



My dear classmates. You're no good ! I have been laboring under that impression 

 for the last six months and now I'm going to give vent to my feelings and tell the 

 class just what I think and probably I'll get a raise in salary. I think that we are the 

 slowest class the New York College of Pharmacy ever graduated. Too slow to be am- 

 bitious (I'll admit there are a few active members in the class, but very few and far 

 between). 



Secondly. I think it's the dumbest class — too dumb to write to the reporter 



Thirdly. I think it's the most ignorant class — too ignorant to come in out of the 

 rain and find out what's agoing on around our college. 



Fourthly. I think it's the stingiest class. Too stingy to subscribe for your college 

 journal, or at least to invest one cent for a postal- to write the reporter once a year. 

 No doubt you have read a verse in the Scriptures (all drug clerks have) where it says 

 it is as " hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven as it is for a camel to pass 

 through the 03 e of a needle." It is harder for me to write notes for our journal when 

 I have nothing to write. If I were a novelist like our younger reporter, Robert 

 Livingston of 1900, probably I could make something out of nothing. Maybe this 

 editorial is all in vain, but I do hope some lost member of our class will be brought 

 to light through its highly esteemed merits. I see by the New York World the col- 

 lege graduated another class this year ; it's too bad that your reporter has to search the 

 columns of the Jl'orld to find classmates — I suppose I'll soon have to look in the 

 Salvation Army War Cry. Now, boys (and ladies too), you certainly have a few 

 minutes once a month in which you could at least drop me a postal. Before closing 

 these few remarks I have something which will change the subject somewhat. Our 

 mutual friend, Elbert C. Purdy, Phar.D., has purchased the business of G. W. 

 Abrams at Croton Falls, N. Y. Mr. Purdy has been a very faithful student and a 

 classmate to be proud of. I am sure the class wish him success. 



Yes, Rolf, Pfabe, Merring and Mohr were there, too, but did not have gumption 

 enough to line up for the hundred-yard dash. 



Shield is managing Bayha's store, 359 2d Ave. You ought to see his flowing beard. 



Just got on track of Ulmschneider. He is at C. W. Race's, Bay Shore, L. I. 



Zincke := Zn 64.9 is at 133 8th Ave. 



Riegel is still with his papa. That's right, Louis, no place like home. 



Walter is at Wallenech's, i6oth St. and 3d Ave. 



Munger was in Scranton on June 2d. He returned to the metropolis the next day 

 with such a headache. 



Benjamin F. Maxey, President, '98, was in to see me a few days ago. He is still in 

 the ring. He has just returned from Niagara, where he will probably go into business 

 in the near future. Ben is looking a little better than usual.

 Notes for eiass of 1900. 



Were you there ? 



Did you see the fellows look so sweet, so full of wisdom ? What a night it was! Mor- 

 tar-boards and gowns, beer and pretzels, pretty girls and old maids, papas gray and 

 mammas gay, dignified profs., portly trustees, music divine, interspersed with much 

 applause. We shall never forget that night. 



Winnie won the hundred dollars. I told you so. 



Dahlberg showed the fine training Herr. Erb had given him. I wonder what he 

 will do with the fso?
