'94 NOTES. 



'Twas indeed a pleasure to again listen to a 

 lecture from Prof. Elliott, particularly when 

 such an interesting subject as Chemistry in the 

 Utilization of Waste Materials was chosen. His 

 familiarity on this subject enabled him to dis- 

 cuss it to some length with compaiative ease, 

 he detailed explanation of the utilization of 

 soda waste was surprising as well as interesting. 

 The mention of the Glassboro, N. J., glass 

 works as the first of their kind in this country 

 was undoubtedly an intentional tribute to Jersey, 

 in fact the Doctor always seemed to take pleas- 

 ure in casting aside those notorious mos- 

 quito stories and revealing the Empire's sister 

 State in a true light. The poem in his finale 

 was exceptionally good and well merited the 

 applause it received at the hands of an enthu- 

 siastic audience. 



The presence of ex-Pres. Ehrgott, ex-Sec'y 

 Wurthman, Messrs. Bastedo, Clarke, Krueder, 

 Herold, Burgher, Auerbach and Geisler in- 

 voked a compliment to our class by Pres. Graes- 

 er, who said their presence and fidelity to our 

 Alma Mater was an excellent example to the 

 undergraduates. 



Mr. Alfred H. Mason, Chairman of the 

 New York section of the Society of Chemical 

 Industry, to whom the success of our Seabury & 

 Johnson excursion was mainly due, was among 

 Dr. Elliott's interested audience. 



I would not be surprised to learn that the 

 "monologue artist" of this class was suffering 

 from a cold, for after the lecture and during 

 our short sojourn in an adjacent Teutonic cafe 

 where culmbacher was on draught, George 

 Burgher persisted in sitting in the draft 

 (draught). 



Another '94 man has "gone to law" after 

 serving many (happy?) years in the retail trade. 

 He has decided to cast his lot with the legal 

 profession. I refer to Herold, our ouly Junior 

 successful in beard raising. Hieronious has 

 joined the Alumni Association, as has also Fro- 

 lich and Geisler. 



I have to note a new departure. Geo. C. 

 Frolich, our genial classmate from "The Land 

 of the Midnight Sun," and incidentally the 

 proprietor of a flourishing pharmacy in Mama- 

 roneck, N. Y., has forsaken his bachelorhood 

 to assume the role of a Benedict. To our fortu- 



nate brother a liberal amount of '94's good 

 wishes are extended, reserving of course q. s. 

 for emergencies, as at very short notice there 

 may be "others." 



John D. Case, the defeated candidate for 

 Secretary in the '93-'94 campaign and subse- 

 quently one of our most popular men, is lo- 

 cated at Sommerville, N. J. 



Geo. W. Simrell is practicing the profession 

 at Fort Hamilton, N. Y. Notwithstanding the 

 long journey George has promised Race to at- 

 tend the next lecture. 



1 saw Otto Maryx a short time ago during 

 his visit to this city. He is no longer in New 

 Haven, having recently accepted a position in 

 Derby, Conn., with S. W. Smith & Co. 



A Gentle Reminder, — The Alumni Asso- 

 ciation extends to you an invitation to attend 

 Dr. Pellew's lecture on the History of Poisons, 

 to be delivered Wednesday evening, March 13. 

 A synopsis of interesting cases of the last decade 

 will probably be given.

The excursion to Johnson & Johnson turn- 

 ed out to be a great success 



From the departure of the ferry boat to the 

 return of the excursionists, it proved to be a day 

 of triumph and pleasure long to be remembered 

 by the class of '95. 



A goodly number of the boys met at No. 129 

 West Fifteenth street, and went in a body to 

 the elevated station on 14th street, where, 

 luckily, they found a car two-thirds empty, which 

 they immediatedly appropriated to their own 

 use. Harding and Davis were favored by find- 

 ing seats beside a young lady of prepossessing 

 appearance, and tried to outdo each other in 

 their attentions upon her. 



During the above episode, Ferguson tried to 

 appropriate a 77 style derby to himself, which 

 he found tangled up in one of the car lamps, 

 but was baffled by the timely arrival of the train 

 guard, who threatened to obstruct his vision, 

 and otherwise disarrange his facial expression if 

 he interfered with it again, which he did not. 

 What use our vice-president intended to make 

 of this very interesting article is not known, but 

 it is surmised that he intended using it on his 

 farm at Little Falls as a scarecrow.
