EDITOR'S ANNOUNCEflENT. 



With this issue terminates the services 

 of the present editor in his editorial ca- 

 pacity of The Alumni Journal. We 

 were in hopes of introducing in this is- 

 sue the new Editor to the readers of The 

 Alumni Journal, but as we go to press 

 we understand that the final negotiations 

 have not been made, and we must, there- 



fore, refrain from any statements in this 

 direction. We can say, however, that 

 the mantle of editor is very likely to fall 

 upon an alumnus of the College of 

 Pharmacy of the City of New York. It 

 seems very fitting at this time to 

 urge upon the members of the Alumni 

 Association, and all those affiliated, 

 either directly or indirectly, with the 

 college, to support him in his ardu- 

 ous labors of making The Alumni 

 Journal, (what we have before pub- 

 lished, as being its prime object) — the 

 avenue whereby the college, and alumni 

 and students primarily shall be bene- 

 fited. If he does not receive this support 

 it will be necessary for him to fill up 

 The Journal with such material at his 

 command, and which he may consider of 

 the greatest value to this end. In the 

 January issue we emphasized this fact, 

 that the first object of The Alumni 

 Journal was to publish news concern- 

 ing ihe alumni and the college, and that 

 all of the other things incorporated were 

 but subsidiary in the Journal, although 

 of value to the readers. 



PHARMACEUTICAL FELLOWSHIPS. 



In addition to the Fellowships pre- 

 viously announced as being held by the 

 School of Pharmacy of the University of 

 Wisconsin, we now learn of this institu- 

 tion receiving two more graduate schol- 

 arships of $400 each, both for two years. 

 Again we repeat; when will we in the 

 East awake out of our lethargy and see 

 that quality is more desirable than num- 

 bers and that these Fellowships mean 

 higher pharmaceutical education. 



PRELIMINARY EDUCATION. 



The reason why students do not seek, 

 and all colleges of pharmacy do not re- 

 quire, a higher preliminary education 

 than is even demanded by the best of 

 them, is because of the questionableuess
