To the class of 1898: 



The class of '97 wishes to extend its best wishes and future success in this 

 .year to each and every member. 



The Ball of '97 Alumni was voted a success, and to make the coming Alumni 

 Ball a " howling success," February 9th, 1898, each of us should attend, to 

 make it a sort of reunion of the class. 



Devine is now with the Messrs. Milhau Sons, in Broadway, Manhattan. He 

 extends to you all the heartiest best wishes that thoughts can formulate for this 

 year, as well as those to follow. 



Weingarten is with the Messrs. Max Stein Drug and Cosmetic Co., corner 

 Sixth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, Manhattan. One of the Brooklyn crowd, 

 you remember. 



Ingham is said to be in business somewhere in Rhode Island. The place 

 is said to be like the boy himself— fm de Steele. 



Tommy Evans, the short of the " long and the short of it" of the Pharma- 

 ceutical Willies, is with Mr. R. S. Davies, of Scranton, Pa. 



Koch recently honored me with a visit, and I scarcely knew him. He ha« 

 grown to be quite corpulent, and has quite an aldermanic. 



Nickerson has resigned his position with the Messrs. Riker Drug Co., Sixth 

 avenue and Twenty-third street, Manhattan, and is now taking a vacation. 



Leonard, from the " Stately Isle," is a Benedict. He was recently married, 

 and is now located with Mr. Oscar Kress, at the corner of Fifty-second street 

 and Broadway, Manhattan. E. A. M. 



'98 NOTES. 



It was a beautiful day— that day we went to Squibb' s. The weather, the 

 authorities, everything seemed to combine to make our trip across the river an 

 enjoyable one. The Borough of Brooklyn had a representative at the Bridge 

 entrance to receive us with open arms, and after our scientific investigations 

 were completed, as a grand finale, they burned a block of buildings for our 

 amusement. Oh, it was a hot time! Our captain was Prof. Dickman, assisted 

 by his lieutenants, Drs. Hoburg and Gies. On arriving at Squibb's our captain

 that smoking or any hilarity were strictly prohibited, we were invited in. Weil, 

 we saw it all— all there was to be seen— and came out bubbling over with know-

 we went to the acetic acid factory, where we became so impregnated with acetic 

 acid fumes that none of us will ever fail to recognize that particular acid (or 

 its antidote). Finally, after seeing all there was to be seen in the Borough over 

 the river, we decided that " there is no place like home," and so homeward we 

 wended our weary ways, feeling confident that Prof. Coblentz would have to 

 arise with the larks in order to "stick" us on chloroform or acetic acid. 



Have you seen the boys throwing dice for seat numbers? 



The Alumni dance of January 19th was by far the most successful of any 

 this winter. Our class was well represented, not only by the boys, but also by 

 some of our lady members. 



Some of the boys who are interested in the manly art of self-defense met at 

 our friend Bottstein's house one evening last week. The evening's entertainment 

 was started by an eight-round draw between Siegel and Elliot. This was fol-
