THE ALUriNI JOURNAL. 



The managers of The Alumni Jour- 

 nal bid its readers "Greetings for 

 the New Year." As this is the beginning 

 of the second year we are happy to an- 

 nounce that The Alumni Journal is 

 taking the place that was needed and 

 doing the work that was intended to be 

 accomplished by it. We are much en- 

 couraged for the coming year's work, and 



would gladly speak fully of our plans for 

 the year's work. But inasmuch as we 

 have adopted a conservative policy in this 

 respect and as each month passes we feel 

 that we are improving The Journal we 

 therefore trust that our readers will 

 look into the future for the same im- 

 provement as in each issue of last 

 year. We further desire our readers to 

 suggest to us in what manner they con- 

 sider that The Alumni Journal may be 

 improved. 



Pharmaceutical journalism may be 

 considered to be a distinct kind of jour- 

 nalism. It may be divided into two 

 classes, good and bad, but as these are 

 only relative terms like rich and poor we 

 think a better division consists of the fol- 

 lowing three classes, viz. : (1) Those de- 

 voted to original papers and scientific 

 notes ; (2) those possessing at least a 

 flavor of (1) and containing a more or less 

 amount of personal and trade notes ; 

 (3) publications by the Alumni Associa- 

 tions of some of our colleges. Any one 

 comparing types of these three kinds of 

 publications will see that they are very 

 distinct from each other. Marked dif- 

 ferences will be very apparent also in 

 those of the same kind. The first kind 

 is indispensable to the intelligent phar- 

 macist. The second class is necessary to 

 the pharmacist in business. The third 

 class consists of a rather new and un- 

 developed kind of journalism. The value 

 of an alumni journal, as with any of the 

 other journals, depends upon what its 

 readers desire and what they receive. It 

 is with the latter class that we are con- 

 cerned. 



The prime object of The Alumni 

 Journal is to publish matter of value 

 and interest to the Alumni of the College 

 of Pharmacy of the City of New York 

 and to assist in the work of the College 

 among its members and students. Of 

 especial iiiteresl to each alumnus are (or
