Professor  Charles  F.  Chandler. 
/Am.  Jour.  Pharm. 
(    October,  1910. 
and  the  Alumni  of  the  college  at  the  Hotel  Astor  on  March  28, 
1910,  a  beautiful  silver  loving  cup  was  presented  to  Dr.  Chandler 
and  the  following  resolutions  were  adopted : 
WHEREAS 
CHARLES    F.  CHANDLER, 
A.M.,  PH.D.,   M.D.,  LL.D.,  D.SC, 
during  the  forty-three  years  of  his  connection  with  this  college,  has  by 
his  constant  earnest  work  for  the  increase  of  its  educational  facilities  con- 
tributed in  a  large  degree  to  its  advancement  from  a  small  school  of  phar- 
macy to  a  department  in  Columbia  University,  and 
Whereas,  As  Professor  of  Chemistry  and  Professor  of  Organic  Chem- 
istry, he  has  shown  in  his  lectures  a  masterly  delivery  and  a  wealth  of  illus- 
tration that  have  commanded  the  respect  and  esteem  of  his  classes  and 
made  each  student  a  personal  and  enthusiastic  friend;  therefore  be  it 
Resolved,  That  we  hereby  express  our  high  appreciation  of  his  distin- 
guished services  to  the  institution,  our  regret  that  he  wills  at  this  time  to 
retire  from  its  faculty,  with  our  earnest  hope  that  he  may  for  many  years 
enjoy  the  love  and  esteem  of  his  hosts  of  friends,  and  the  well-earned 
honors  universally  conceded  to  his  eminence  in  the  profession  to  which  his 
life  has  been  devoted.    And  be  it  further 
Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  spread  in  full  upon  the  college 
records  and  a  copy  suitably  engrossed  be  presented  to  him. 
A  testimonial  dinner  was  also  tendered  Dr.  Chandler  by  his  for- 
mer students  and  associates  of  the  faculty  of  Columbia  University 
at  the  Waldorf-Astoria  on  April  2,  1910. 
The  chemists  of  America,  including  The  Chemists'  Club,  The 
Society  of  Chemical  Industry,  The  American  Chemical  Society,  The 
American  Electro-Chemical  Society,  The  American  Institute  of 
Chemical  Engineers,  and  The  Verein  Deutscher  Chemiker  tendered 
Dr.  Chandler  a  banquet  at  the  Waldorf-Astoria  on  April  30,  1910. 
The  resignation  of  Dr.  Chandler,  after  nearly  fifty  years  of 
efficient  and  devoted  service,  has  elicited  such  a  spontaneous  out- 
burst of  appreciation  and  affection  from  his  former  students,  col- 
leagues, and  fellow-scientists  that  it  was  deemed  appropriate  and 
desirable  that  a  permanent  record  should  be  made  of  the  several 
banquets  tendered  to  Dr.  Chandler  by  his  friends  and  to  enumerate 
and  describe  the  testimonials  presented  to  him.  These  are  published 
in  a  "  Testimonial  Supplement  "  of  the  Columbia  University  Quar- 
terly of  June,  191  o.
