THE ALUMNI JOURNAL 



^iltinjui Association. 



The pharuiaceulical meeting of the 

 Alumni Association was held March 13, 

 '95. Despite the very disagreeable 

 weather, quite a large audience gathered 

 to hear the very interesting lecture de- 

 livered by Mr. Chas. E. Pellew. E M , 

 who is well known by all the recent 

 graduates and present students of the 

 college; this fact, probably accounting 

 for the large audience. The classes 

 of '93 and '94 were both well rep- 

 resented; the class of '94 especicially 

 distinguishing itself by the large num- 

 ber present, prominent among whom 

 was Nelson S. Kirk, who supplies The 

 Alumni Journal with very interesting 

 and valuable class matter in each monthly 

 issue, thereby stimulating the interest of 

 the students in behalf of the Alumni 

 Association. The College of Physicians 

 and Surgeons, was also very well repre- 

 sented, by students, quite a few of whom 

 brought their lad} 7 friends. 



The lecture proved very interesting 

 indeed, and the audience were well re- 

 paid for "braving the elements" to hear 

 the jovial son-in-law of Prof. Chas. F. 

 Chandler. Not enough members of the 

 executive board of the Association being 

 present to transact business, no executive 

 board meeting could be held. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 W. A. Hoburg, Jr., Sec'y. 



'93 NOTES. 



Who does not remember Banks H. 

 Bouton, who could smile so sweetly at 

 all the pretty girls and receive smiles in 

 return, better than any other man in our 

 class ? I met him in New Rochelle, where 

 he is at present managing Hafford's phar- 

 macj 7 . Congratulations upon his engage- 

 ment to Miss Edith Le Fevre, are due to 

 him, and I'm sure that all who know him 



will heartily wish him all happiness and 

 luck for his future. 



Apropos of engagements and mar- 

 riages. A good number of our '93 

 seem to have been stricken with it. 



Harry Heller is married, Zwigly, ditto, 

 so is Kipp, from Sing Sing. Julius Tan- 

 nenbaum announces his engagement to 

 Miss R. J. Goodman. He has reformed 

 at last and is selling plasters for it, and 

 is thus getting a "pull." 



One of '93 boys has "Pharmaceutical 

 Chemist" on his cards. Would Chemi- 

 cal Pharmacist do as well ? 



Will members of '93 communicate 

 with J. Tannenbuam, to keep up the '93 

 column, and help make it to be anxiously 

 looked for ?

'94 NOTES. 



One of the most interesting as well as suc- 

 cessful lectures of the Alumni series was that 

 delivered by Dr. Pellew on Wednesday evening, 

 March 13th. It would seem that by the manner 

 in which he officiated the subject was one of his 

 especial liking. 



He began with accounts both weird and start- 

 ling of famous poisoners before Christ, passing 

 up through Socrates' time. He laid particular 

 stress on Lucuster, a noted preparer of poison- 

 ous draughts, who was employed in this capac- 

 ity bv her emperor. Of modern cases those of 

 Dr. Buchanan and Mrs. May brick were briefly 

 considered until the Carlyle Harris case was 

 reached. Here the doctor dwelt considerable 

 time enumerating episodes of this young man 

 who was under his tuition at College both before 

 and after the fatal dose was given. 



Arsenic in some form being the predominat- 

 ing poison, the Marsh apparatus in working or- 

 der was on exhibition, and how familiar it look- 

 ed ! The anticipation of the audience, large for 

 such a stormy night were fully realized. The 

 delegation from '94 was an evidence of the Doc- 

 tor's popularity. The roll of honor was headed 

 by ex Secretary Liunig, then came Messrs. 

 Kellar, Dawson, Kussey, Race, Krueder, Col. 

 Wade, Clarke, Auerbach, Burger, Erb, Geisler, 

 Gruber, Hutchinson. Loveland, Van Tassel 1 

 and Stoerzer, a total of 18 or nearly 15 per cent.
