Editorial. 



We present to our readers this month a full-page half-tone of ' ' Our 

 Boys in the Navy." Owing to the fact that many of them are in distant 

 ports, it has been impossible for us to secure pictures in uniform. We are 

 glad also to report that since the last issue many communications have 

 been received, but, owing to lack of space in this issue, it will be reserved 

 until next month. " L,et the good work keep up," so that we can present, 

 next time, an entire series of reports from the different members of the va- 

 rious classes. 



The coming winter undoubtedly will be crowned with many interesting 

 and enjoyable socials for the students. It is the intention of the Associa- 

 tion to do everything in their power to interest the " new comers" as well 

 as the ' ' old stagers. ' ' The committee in charge are making arrangements, 

 and we can trust to them, as in the past, to make our students remember 

 the enjoyable times they had at the " Old Institution." 



I understand' that a number of our Naval Apothecaries are beginning 

 to bring the influence of their friends to bear upon the officials at Wash- 

 ington for appointment to the new rank in the navy. Twenty-five Apothe- 

 caries are to be raised to warrant officers' rank, with an increased salary. 

 This is the goal they are seeking. The regulations demand, however, 

 that these appointments be made " from the list of hospital stewards now 

 in the service" (June 25, 1898). The "Apothecary" in the Navy is a 

 thing of the past, as the new grade gives the title " Pharmacist," and the 

 balance of the Hospital Corps, U. S. N. will be known as "Hospital 

 Stewards."
