found utterly inadequate, was abandoned 

 for the present one on Morningside 

 Heights. In 1901 President Low re- 

 signed his office in the University to 

 accept the nomination of the Fusion 

 party of New York City for the mayor- 

 alty and was succeeded by Dr. Nicholas 

 Murray Butler, '82, Dean of the School 

 of Philosoohy, as acting president. 

 Later, Mr. Butler was chosen president 

 by the trustees unanimously on the first 

 ballot, and on April 19, 1902, was in- 

 stalled in his new office in the presence 

 of the greatest assemblage of educators 

 and representative men that has ever 

 graced such an occasion. 



The history of the College of Phar- 

 macy, which became affiliated with Co- 

 lumbia University in 1904, began on 

 March 18, 1829, when a number of 

 prominent pharmacists met and organ- 

 ized the College of Pharmacy of the City 

 and County of New York. In 1831 a 

 charter was secured and the first session 

 began with three students in the new 

 dispensary at the corner of White and 

 Center Streets, each paying a tuition fee 

 of six dollars. In May, 1836, the college 

 moved to the southwest corner of Grand 

 and Elizabeth Streets. The building was 

 later found to be unsuited for use and 

 the College again changed its quarters to 

 a room in the University of the City of 

 New York in 1835. In 1836 it returned 

 to its old room in the dispensary build- 

 ing, and in 1842 it secured a room at 285 

 Broadway over Lockwood's book store. 

 Between the years of, 1840-50 the prog- 

 ress of the college was rather slow, the 

 largest class (5) being recorded in 1847. 

 Following this period many very famous 

 men became connected with the college ; 

 such as Professors Doremus, Torrey, 

 Mayer, Maisch, Bedford, Squibb, Rice 

 and Chandler. 



In 1 87 1 the Alumni Association was 

 formed, and it nroved to be and still is a 

 powerful factor in college activities. In 

 1873 a class of 33 students was gradu- 

 ated, and in the succeeding vears the 

 classes so increased in numbers that it 

 became necessary to provide larger quar- 

 ters. In 1878 the property at 209-11 

 East 23rd Street was purchased, the at- 

 tendance increased steadily, taxing the 

 facilities of the college building to its 

 utmost and steps were at once taken to 

 procure a larger building, and in 1894 the 

 college moved to its present commodious 

 quarters. From that time on the college 

 has been very prosperous, the registra- 

 tion increasing so fast that at the present 

 time over four hundred students are at- 

 tending. 



C. U. C. P. has risen from the status 

 of a college in the experimental stage to 

 the largest and most reputed college of 

 its kind in the country. 



HINTS TO JUNIORS. 



(Seniors May Profit.) 



Don't be a nonentity. Get interested 

 in one or two college activities; then, 

 stick to them. 



Show class and college spirit. A poor 

 Junior never makes a good Senior. 



Subscribe for the "Journal." Boost it. 

 Work for it. Watch for it. Read it. 



Watch your cuts. Ninety per cent, of 

 the class recitations must be attended. 

 Don't run over the three-cut limit. It 

 means being barred from final examina- 

 tions. 



Take proper exercise. There are all 



forms of athletics. They keep the brain 



clear. A bright, active brain, means a 



good student — a credit to his Alma 



Mater and himself.
