248 THE JOURNAL OF PHARMACOLOGY. 



Since the last number I have received calls at the College from Wild, Beckary, A. 

 F. Eberhardt, and Jorgenson. They all seem to enjoy themselves serving Uncle 

 Sam, and have no complaints to make against Secretary Alger. 



Eickwort, of the " Texas," has gone to join the European squadron. 



Jorgenson, of the " Yankton," has gone to Porto Rico, with a party of United States 

 engineers on board to survey the harbors of that island. He expects to be gone all 

 winter. 



Gardner and Wells have both started in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and 

 Schaeffer at Cornell Medical College. I am sure they will be a credit to their profes- 

 sion when they finish. The well wishes of the class are with them in their new work. 



I was at the business meeting of the Alumni Association, October 12, and was quite 

 surprised to find that myself and Maffia were the only ones to represent our class. 

 Now, boys, this will not do. We have the largest class, and should have the largest 

 representation at the Alumni meetings. 



Quite a number of our boys have not joined the Alumni Association as yet. Better 

 get a move on boys and fall in line. 



Austin is somewhere out in Maine managing a store, and wants to be remembered 

 to all the boys, needless to add girls also. 



I wish that when you hear of anything that would interest the boys you would let 

 me know about it and I will put it in the Journal. If you see it in the Journal 

 (not New York Journal) it's so. 



Maxey has gone home to "recuperate strength lost in the whirl of metropolitan 

 life " as he writes it. We always thought our president was a " warm baby," but now 

 we know it officially from him. 



Everyone should be in readiness for the Alumni dinner, which I think is to be held 

 sometime in December. Will let you know exact date in my next. 



Don't forget to send in your subscription to the class picture for the Alumni Asso- 

 ciation. 



As Eickwort has gone to Europe I suppose I shall have to take this place perman- 

 ently. I will try and do as well as he did, but that will be hard.

'99 Notes. 



Rumor has it that Otto W. Frankfurter, of Section 2, is engaged to a well-known, 

 handsome and accomplished young lady of our class. While I will not, at present, 

 divulge her name, you may look for a surprise in the next Journal.

President Pond announces that he will call a meeting to be held in the College on 

 the night of the February reception, when it is to be hoped that a good crowd will 

 gather to offer suggestions for the season's success. 



Many prominent members are discussing the advisability of holding a ball this 

 winter to which members of other Metropolitan cycle clubs will be invited. As yet, 

 however, nothing definite has been done. 



With the advent of cooler weather, a perceptible change for the better, as regards 

 attendance, is noticed in our scheduled runs. " Glad to have you every time, boys," 

 even if you are not a member. 



To Classes '99 and '00 a cordial welcome is extended to all our affairs. We appre- 

 ciate the strength of our students and are always on the lookout for talent.
