ADDRESS  OF  PRBSIDENT  R.  P.  FISCHELIS  OF  THE 
ALUMNI  ASSOCIATION  OF  THE  PHILADELPHIA 
COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY.    (In  Abstract.) 
As  we  meet  to  conduct  the  business  of  the  fifty-sixth  annual 
meeting  of  the  alumni  association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  we  are  on  the  eve  of  the  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  our  Alma  Mater  and  there  loom  up  before  us  visions  of 
an  even  greater  future  in  the  coming  years  than  the  wonderful 
advances  which  our  college  has  made  in  the  past  century  of  its 
existence. 
It  is  for  us,  the  living  and  active  alumni,  to  see  to  it  that  these 
visions  of  the  future  shall  not  end  in  the  mere  building  of  air  castles 
but  rather  that  we  set  out  to  accomplish  them  with  an  earnest  pur- 
pose, enthusiasm  and  unbounded  willingness  to  work  so  that  in  the 
years  to  come  our  followers  may  say  of  us  as  we  now  say  of  the 
founders  of  our  college  "They  builded  better  than  they  knew." 
If  anyone  had  suggested  to  me  five  years  ago  that  a  graduate 
of  the  Medico-Chirurgical  College  might  at  some  time  become  the 
president  of  the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of 
Pharmacy,  I  would  probably  have  looked  at  him  in  blank  amaze- 
ment and  wondered  whether  he  was  in  his  right  mind,  yet  that 
seeming  impossibility  has  become  a  reality.  I  cannot  refrain  from 
mentioning  this  fact  because  I  doubt  whether  there  ever  was  a 
merger  of  two  rival  institutions  where  such  complete  harmony  has 
obtained  among  the  respective  alumni  since  the  very  beginning  of
