THE ALUMNI JOURNAL, 



3°5 



F. G. Hills and F. N. Pond have resumed 

 the practice of pharmacy in this city. Both re- 

 port as having spent an enjoyable summer dur- 

 ing their respective rural engagements. 



Joe Kussy as bright and jovial as ever, was 

 over to College at the last meeting. He is still 

 with O'Neil, of Newark, where amid the hustle 

 of that busy city he may be found as eager to 

 sing the praises of his Alma Mater as in the days 

 when he was '94's poet, 



Asbury Park, this winter, will be the home 

 of ex Vice-President Wilcox. Although quite 

 busy during the season, he was able to combine 

 pleasure with his duties at that popular resort. 



N. Y. C. P. Cyclers, Col. Wade, Race and 

 Kirk, indulged in a 30 mile run on the 20th. 

 Fast riding was the feature of the occasion. 



Prop. Rusby will endeavor to entertain us 

 with " Poisonous Plants of the Vicinity of New 

 York" as a subject, on Wednesday evening, 

 November 13th.

'95 NOTES. 



With this issue there is a long silence broken, 

 it being six months since our graduation, and 

 no mention of our class having been made 

 in thisjournal. 



You might believe that with the end of our 

 college life, we had also ended our column of 

 notes, but no ! 



Fellow classmates have long been wishing to 

 hear from one another, and as opportunity to 

 hold a personal interview is not always to be 

 had, tbey sought The Alumni Journal as a 

 medium, but have heretofore been disappointed, 

 as nothing in the way of '95 notes were to be 

 seen, so therefore, from now on I will endeavor 

 to supply this deficiency. 



Our Alma Mater has again thrown open its 

 doors to students, and therewith enters upon 

 the sixty-sixth year of its existence. This term 

 will especially be marked, as it is the initial 

 year of the Post-Graduate course. 



Let us all hope that the college will hence, 

 forth thrive as it has in the past, and attain the 

 fame of being known as the best college of phar- 

 macy in the world.

As an introduction, let me give the cry. Now 

 I will give you a lecture : Why were not all of 

 you at the Alumni meeting ? 



A boston man who had just returned from 

 Virginia, had met some queer characters there, 

 who were full of reminiscences. Meeting an ex- 

 soldier of the "Lost Cause," he asked why the 

 Southern Army did not swoop down on the 

 Capitol at once after the Bull Run fight. He 

 said: "Well, they say that the Washington 

 papers received in camp, informed the boys that 

 the city was overcrowded." 



Now, certainly this was not the case with the 

 lecture room, for there were plenty of vacant 

 seats and our whole class could have "swooped" 

 in, and yet there would have been accommoda- 

 tion for more. 



Among the few present, I noticed Messrs. 

 Steinheuer, Dauscha, Ferguson and Trau. 



The lecture which was about pharmaceutical 

 jurisprudence, and was delivered by the Hon. 

 George F. Roesch, deserves recognition. 



The subject was well chosen and proved to be 

 extremely interesting. The only stumbling 

 blocks at first, being to comprehend the legal 

 terms used such as: Dr. Wellington Schuyler 

 versus "The Boys," 18 State of New York, 95, 

 but this hindrance was afterward seemingly 

 overcome, at least, the boys looked as if they 

 "knew it all." 



BREVITIES. 



Rudolph GiES and Henry Heutschel. have 

 entered the ranks of the bosses, (not of Tam- 

 many fame). The former being located at 28th 

 street and 3d avenue, the latter at 91st street 

 and avenue A. Both are said to be doing well. 



Herman Walter is with Gies. Both em- 

 plover and employee are taking the Post- 

 Graduate course. Best wishes to our coming 

 Doctors of Pharmacy. 



IT will be painful news to hear that our ex- 

 president Jesse J. Bailey, has suddenly been 

 taken ill. He has left New York for Colorado 

 Springs. Let us hope that he will soon recover 

 and return to our midst. 



William Hall has become Bailey's succes- 

 sor at Bendiner & Schlesinger, nth street and 

 3d avenue, and is in as good spirits as ever. I 

 hear that in his leisure hours he is cultivating 

 that baritone of his, which created such a sen" 

 sation when first heard at the college.
