lum,  to  place  the  management  of  the  quizzes  directly  under  its  own  control, 
thus  abolishing  the  interest,  both  financially  and  supervisory,  which  the  Asso- 
ciation has  heretofore  enjoyed." 
William  B.  Krewson  presented  his  fifteenth  annual  report  as  secretary,  in 
which  he  reviewed  the  work  of  the  Association  during  the  past  year. 
"The  college  review  quizzes  were  quite  successful  this  year,"  he  stated,  "221 
of  the  juniors  subscribing.  The  senior  quiz  class  numbered  168  full  tickets;  19 
did  not  come  up  for  examination;  188  took  first  modified  examination,  and  17 
failed  to  pass  the  examination;  134  passed  successfully;  of  the  latter  number 
106  will  be  members  of  the  Class  of  1895,  and  the  other  26  are  deferred  on 
account  of  being  under  21  years  of  age,  or  because  they  have  had  less  than  four 
years'  experience  in  the  drug  business,  and  will  be  assigned  to  future  graduat- 
ing classes.  During  the  past  year  25  members  of  former  quiz  classes  who 
passed  the  examinations  in  previous  years  so  successfully,  and  were  deferred, 
have  been  duly  elected  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  as  graduates  in  pharmacy,  and 
are  assigned  to  the  Class  of  1895,  which  will  make  a  total  of  169  new  members 
from  the  Class  of  1895.  This  makes  a  total  of  177  new  members  added  during 
the  past  year.  The  total  membership  of  the  association  is  2,514;  total  receipts 
during  the  past  year,  $7,370.57;  expenditures,  $6,543.75;  balance  in  the  treas- 
ury, $826.22." 
The  report  of  the  Memorial  Committee  showed  that  20  members  had  died 
during  the  past  year,  and  the  deaths  of  5  others  not  before  reported  were  also 
announced. 
The  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year  : 
President,  Jacob  S.  Beetem,  '78;  First  Vice-President,  Dr.  J.  Louis  D. 
Morison,  '88  ;  Second  Vice-President,  Jos.  Crawford,  '84  ;  Treasurer,  Edward 
C.  Jones,  '64 ;  Secretary,  Wm.  E.  Krewson,  '69  ;  Corresponding  Secretary, 
James  C.  Perry,  '91  ;  Trustee  of  Sinking  Fund,  Thos.  S.  Wiegand,  '44. 
Executive  Board,  elected  for  three  years:  William  Lincoln  Cliffe,  '84;  Joseph 
W.  England,  '83;  Rush  P.  Marshall,  '81;  F.  W.  E.  Stedem,  '82.    Dr.  Henry 
A.  Newbold,  '70,  was  elected  for  two  years  to  fill  the  unexpired  term  of  Charles 
B.  Hunterson,  deceased. 
There  is  a  strong  sentiment  among  the  members  of  the  Alumni  Association 
favoring  the  establishment  of  a  gymnasium  for  the  students.  The  matter  of 
securing  a  room  in  the  College  building  for  the  students  for  social  uses,  and  the 
question  of  publishing  a  historical  compendium  of  the  graduates,  were  referred 
to  a  special  committee. 
RECEPTION  TO  THE  GRADUATES. 
The  thirty-first  annual  reception  of  the  Association  to  the  seventy-fourth 
graduating  class,  which  was  held  on  the  evening  of  April  15th,  at  the  Hall  of 
the  Young  Men's  Christian  Association,  Fifteenth  and  Chestnut  Streets,  was 
a  very  pleasant  event. 
An  interesting  concert  programme  was  played  by  Bastert's  Orchestra;  Presi- 
dent Cliffe  made  the  introductory  address;  Francis  P.  Kelly,  of  Carboudale, 
Pa.,  delivered  the  annual  class  oration;  Brenton  S.  Lancaster,  of  Forksville,  Pa., 
recited  a  poem  dedicated  to  the  graduating  class;  Robert  H.  Tarr,  of  Cleveland, 
O.,  gave  the  history  of  the  class  of  '95,  and  Charles  Wilson  Stern,  of  Smyrna, 
Del.,  foretold  the  future  of  the  class.
