ALERE FLAM11AM. 



As the present Dumber of The Alumni 

 Journal goes to press, the new session 

 of the College is about being inaugu- 

 rated. 



With an increased staff of Professors, 

 an extended curriculum, and a building, 

 which is unsurpassed by any in the land, 

 it bids fair to mark an important year in 

 the history of the College. That the as- 



pirants for pharmaceutical honors are not 

 slow to appreciate these benefits is shown 

 by the largely increased number of junior 

 students ; larger than ever known since 

 the College first opened its doors. 



It must be very gratifying to the mem- 

 bers of the Alumni to see the College 

 thus growing — to see it enlarging its 

 scope of teaching, and to feel that situat- 

 ed in the first city of the land, with 

 the new advantages it now offers to the 

 students of Pharmacy, it must soon 

 fulfill its ultimate destiny, and hold 

 not alone the position of first in the land, 

 so far as instruction goes, which indeed it 

 has always held, but also first in the size 

 of its classes. 



In order to introduce the new Profes- 

 sors to the readers of The Alumni Jour- 

 nal, we shall shortly publish the por- 

 traits of the faculty with short sketches 

 of their careers. 



The first of the series of lectures be- 

 fore the Alumni Association will be de- 

 livered by the Hon. George F. Roesch, 

 on the evening of October 9th. The sub- 

 ject, " Pharmaceutical Jurisprudence, " 

 is one that must interest the members of 

 the Association, and its friends, and there 

 should be a large attendance present. 



LOUIS PASTEUR. 



In the death of M. Louis Pasteur, 

 which occurred at the age of seventy- 

 two, at his residence at Garches, near 

 St. Cloud, France, on September 28th, 

 mankind has lost a true friend, and 

 science a most worthy follower. The 

 story of Pasteur's life is the story of 

 modern medicine, of which he was the 

 most earnest and enthusiastic disciple, 

 and though as yet the hope held out to 

 suffering humanity has been greater than 

 the real good accomplished it has open- 

 ed the field to a more thorough under- 

 standing of the causes of disease, and at
