THE ISAAC PLAUT FELLOW- 

 SHIP. 



Announcement was made at the April 

 meeting of the Board of Trustees of the 

 estabHshment of a Fellowship in our Col- 

 lege. Mr. Albert Plant is the generous 

 donor. This F"ellowship is to be awarded 

 to the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy 

 of our College who in the opinion of the 

 Faculty is worthy and qualified to pursue 

 studies at a foreign university. The de- 

 tailed conditions of the award of this 

 Fellowship may be found on another page 

 of this issue under College Notes. In 

 this connection, it may be of interest to 

 know something about the gentleman 

 whose name this Fellowship bears, and 

 we reprint the following from the Ameri- 

 can Druggist : 



The Fellowship is to be known as the 

 "Isaac Plant Fellowship in Pharmacy," 

 in memory of Mr. Plant's father, who 

 was many years ago in the drug business 

 in New York City and subsequently con- 

 nected for years with the house of Lehn 

 & Fink. Many men now leaders in phar- 

 macy can recall the eagerness with which 

 the elder Mr. Plant's visits were looked 

 forward to during their student days, as 

 he was the first man to show samples of 

 crude drugs to the retail druggists. These 

 samples were of unusual excellence and 

 Mr. Plant's knowledge of them was so 

 thorough and accurate that many a stu- 

 dent pharmacist has learned more of 

 practical pharmacognosy from a visit by 

 Mr. Plaut than he had learned in a week's 

 lectures at the College. Mr. Plaut was 

 also deeply interested in educational mat- 

 ters and was for inany years a school 

 trustee. It is eminently fitting, therefore, 

 that his name should be associated with 

 so liberal an endowment as that which 



MR. ALBERT PLAUT. 



is now provided by his son. The estab- 

 lishment of the Fellowship does credit 

 alike to the filial piety and to the public 

 spirit of the founder. We have resident 

 scholarships and fellowships in several 

 institutions, but this is the first foundation 

 to provide for the establishment of n 

 foreign Fellowship in pharmacy, and the 

 New York College of Pharmacy is to be 

 congratulated on having among its 

 officers a man gifted with the imagina- 

 tion to see the need of such a Fellowship. 

 the means to provide it, and the gener- 

 osity to found it. 



THE ANNUAL ELECTION. 



The meeting of the Alumni Associa 

 tion, held on Wednesday, April 8, 1914 

 was exceptionally well attended. It was 

 the occasion of the election of officers 

 and a considerable amount of Association 

 business was transacted. President 

 Weinstein read a very interesting ad-
