THP: NEW YORK JOURNAL OF PHARMACY 



A WORD FROM THE PRESI- 

 DENT OF THE ALUMNI 

 ASSOCIATION. 



The Alumni Association of the New 

 York College of Pharmacy wants to im- 

 press upon the students the fact that it 

 wishes to, and stands ready to do rts duty 

 to them in so far as possible by making 

 the time spent at college more pleasant 

 by assisting in the formation and direc- 

 tion of the various college organizations, 

 such as the Orchestra, Glee Club, Man- 

 dolin Club, etc. It is also the intention 

 of the Association to hold monthly meet- 

 ings, at which features, entertaining or 

 educational will be presented. These af- 

 fairs to be successful must have the act- 

 ive co-operation of the student body and 

 alumni. We therefore ask you to lend 

 us your support. Not in a half-hearted, 

 begrudging manner but with the proper 

 show of college spirit. Come out and 

 attend our meetings. Come out and 

 attend the rehearsals of the various 

 organizations even if you do not sing or 

 play. Show the active members that 

 their fellow students are interested in the 

 work that is being done to help make 

 their college years more pleasant. 



Our Alma Mater has a record that we, 

 its graduates .and graduates to be, may 

 well be proud of. For many years our 

 college has taken a leading part in every 

 movement that has had for its object the 

 betterment of our profession. The 

 Alumni Association has ever been and, 

 let us hope, always will be ready, to aid 

 and assist the officers and trustees of the 

 college in the noble work they are carry- 

 ing on. Once again, therefore, we ask 

 you to come out and attend the meet- 

 ings and various functions, show the 

 necessary "college spirit," become real 



students, show the officers and trustees 

 as well as the faculty that the work they 

 are doing so well is being appreciated b}- 

 those for whom it is being done.

 the former in giving and the latter in 

 receiving a good and thorough phar- 

 maceutical training and education, sea- 

 soned with some of the necessary little 

 pleasant diversions so needed to take 

 away the ''grind" from student life.
