THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



James Rogers, F. B. Kilmer, W. H. Ritter and 

 A. J. Stephens on bet alf of the Johnson & John- 

 son Co , and were responded to by Prof. Cob- 

 lentz, Quiz Master Madison, and Messrs. Bailey, 

 Chambers, Kerr, Ferguson, Zeh, Lavalaye, Gies, 

 Crooks and Bannon on behalf of the college. 



There was also singing by the class, all com- 

 bining to make the day one of that will remain 

 engraved upon our memory for many years. 



With a few hours to spare, the boys under the 

 guidance of Mr. Ayres, took in about all the 

 objects of interests in the city, including the 

 handsome gymnasium of Rutgers college. 



The high school was viewed, and as soon as 

 the ladies were sighted, the boys would line 

 up single file, and salute them as they passed. 



Occasional stops were made to enable the 

 fatigued to brace up on soda water and hot 

 lemonade, and the march resumed. 



Train time drawing near, everyone moved to- 

 ward the depot (or was helped ), and soon were 

 being whisked along in the direction of New 

 York. 



As a climax, a theatre party of 30 or 40 wa s 

 quickly formed, and seats for the "Twentieth 

 Century Girl" contracted for by telegraph. 



The piay proved to be something of a dis- 

 appointment, and they were all thankful after 

 the performance that they were living in the 

 Nineteenth century. 



Then boys for J. arid J. a cheer. 

 In competition they have no fear; 

 Their goods are known to be the peer. 

 And their employees to us very dear. 



A VISIT TO MESSRS. E. R. SQUIBBS & 

 SON. 



Another interesting visit by the class of '95 

 was made to Messrs. E. R. Squibbs & Sou's 

 manufactory, on Dougherty street, Brooklyn, on 

 Friday, February 15, 1895. In addition to the 

 large number of hilarious boys present, Miss 



Mahony and Miss honored us with 



their presence. This was more than they did 

 for us on our visit to J. & J's. A party of the 

 boys made a tour of search for belated members 

 and found Ogden lost in one of the side doors — 

 I mean side streets of Brooklyn. On their re- 

 turn they were received in the spacious court by 

 Quiz Master Madison, and in squads they were 

 shown through the labyrinth of departments of 

 Dr. Squibb's establishment, and models of neat- 

 ness they are too. 



Here was the preparation of methyl acetate, 

 he new and very cheap solvent; there the pre- 

 paration of extract of ergot ; here, the dark solu- 



tion which finally would yield for us our pure 

 white potassii et sodii tartras ; there, the perfec- 

 tion of absolute alcohol; here, the great block- 

 tin lined tanks containing concentrated solu- 

 tions of potassii chloras and ammonii chlori- 

 dium; then the preparation of the bismuths 

 next claimed our attention. We saw the argols 

 of the wine casks, but missed the wine. The 

 carbonate of ammonia separated from its car- 

 bonate by the circular saw was a novel sight, 

 and the girls who bottled it received not a small 

 share of our attention. 



But by far the most attractive spot, at least, 

 for Lavalaye, Zeh, Gifford, Manville and some 



others, 



"Was at the lair, 

 Where tenderly smiled 

 Two maidens fair, 

 Their time beguiled." 



In fact, I know not which was the more in- 

 teresting, the sealing of the cases of ether, or 

 the maidens faces ? I saw the boys watching 

 the one almost as much as the other; the faces 

 predomiuating. But, alas ! we had to leave 



them. 



"A vison of the past, 

 Too sweet to last." 



The march from the manufactory across the 

 bridge was a matter of much concern for the 

 Brooklyn Police, but the way they were saluted 

 made them swell with pride, and chased the 

 shadows of anxiety away to make room for those 

 of smiles. How easily one's vanity is tickled ! 

 When Hegeman's store was reached, he was 

 given a rousing reception, as was also Atwood's. 

 Then a wild rush was made for Dennett's, whose 

 walls echoed to the cry of, "Iso-Neo-Paraffini 

 Morphine, Codeine, Narceine, Ethyl, Methyl, 

 Aldehyde, N. Y. C. P. '95" 



A neat march was stolen on the management 

 of Keith's Fourteenth street theatre. In groups 

 ofthreeandat intervals of half a block apart, 

 the whole party gained entrance to the theatre, 

 and to the suprise of the liveried attendants, 

 their presence soon became apparent. This too, 

 was left in time to be present at Dr. Elliott's 

 lecture. 



Miss Mahony and her kind friend did not ac- 

 company the boys in their protracted march, 

 neither did Prof. Coblentz nor Mr. Madison, bat 

 no significance is to be attached to this. 



iNGESToiv is the name given a remedy which 

 is recommended in acute and chronic com- 

 plaints of the stomach and intestines and in sea- 

 sickness. It is a slightly opalescent, light cit- 

 ron yellow aqueous solution which is said to 

 contain the sulphates of magnesium, sodium 

 and potassium, sodium chloride, alcohol, ether 

 and iron.
