sample and note the comparate which is 

 nearest, hut hghter in color, to the sam- 

 ])le. If it compares exactly, the per cent, 

 of salol may be computed here by mul- 

 tiplying the number of the standard by 

 ten. If it does not compare exactly, 

 continue in part B. 



Part B. 

 Clean the tubes and add to each the 

 same number of cc. of the standard 

 Phenyl Salicylate Solution as was the 

 number of the nearest comparate in part 

 A. Then to No. i add i-io cc. of the 

 standard Phenyl Salicylate Solution; to 

 No. 2, add 2-IO cc. ; to No. 3, add 3-10 

 cc, etc. Fill to the mark with alcohol. To 

 the eleventh tube, add 10 cc. of the solu- 

 tion of the sample. To each of the eleven 

 tubes, now add i cc. of the Ferric 

 Chloride Solution. Note the number of 

 the comparate of the sample. The num- 

 ber of the comparate in part A, times 

 ten, plus the number of the comparate 

 in part B, gives directly the per cent, of 

 Phenyl Salicylate in the sample. 



PRESIDENT WEINSTEIN'S AD 

 DRESS AT THE ANNUAL 

 MEETING OF THE ALUMNI 

 ASSOCIATION, APRIL 8, iqH- 



It is my extreme pleasure this evening 

 to bring before you in a brief way a 

 summary of my experience as president 

 of the Alumni Association. When I was 

 elected two years ago to-night I felt highly 

 honored. Immediately many thoughts 

 • passed through my mind as to what might 

 be done to interest the members in 

 Alumni matters. I felt the responsibility 

 of my position and I proceeded to carry 

 out the ideas I had in my mind with a 

 quiet propaganda of my own to see if 

 I could not stimulate greater interest 

 amongst members of this Association in 

 Alumni doings. 



During my administration many 

 changes have taken place which I think 

 have proven advantageous, both in build- 

 ing up the Alumni and stimulating inter- 

 est among its members in general. 



The introduction of our money col- 

 lecting system deserves consideration, 

 although I am unable to state at this time 

 what progress, if any, has been made, as 

 no report has been rendered to date. 



Several amendments to our By-Laws 

 have recently been made. One in par- 

 ticular which provides that the major 

 portion of the business to be transacted 

 shall be carried out at the stated Execu- 

 tive Board meetings which meets one 

 week prior to the regular meeting. This 

 leaves little business to be conducted at 

 the regular meetings and thus the re- 

 mainder of the evening can then- be de- 

 voted to some sort of entertainment. Our 

 recent consolidated Alumni Smoker and 

 College Night proved a big success. It 

 brought out many old members who have 

 not attended meetings in years. I feel 

 that entertainment of this sort will do 

 silent propaganda work in channels 

 where correspondence will never reach. 

 A most notable change in the By-Laws 

 was the introduction of the Nominating 

 Committee. Y'ou have all read it and 

 know its value. Its result is displayed 

 here this evening. Many new faces are 

 present who were no doubt attracted 

 by this newly instituted method of elect- 

 ing the Association's officers. 



In looking over our records I find that 

 the attendance at meetings for the last 

 two years has been larger than for a long 

 time previous. I trust that in the future 

 a steady climb of figures will be attained. 

 Our annual dinners and balls were suc- 

 cessful affairs socially, and with a little 

 more interest displayed by the members
