THE MICHIGSAN DAILY WHERE PHARMACY IS TAUGHT A1 Brief Description of the Building Whence Drug Store Proprietors Come. HAS BOOSTED THE COMEDY CLUB DION S. BIRNEY, WHO PLAYS FOR LAST TIME BEFORE LOCAL PUBLIC, HAS BEEN ARDENT DEVOTEE The old chemical laboratory, in which the School of Pharmacy had its birth, was purely a case of evolu- tion. It originally consisted of a one- story building about the size of an ordinary class room. Numerous ad- ditions were made until 1909-10, when we abandoned the old building for our present new, commodious quarters where we, have every convenience- fine laboratories, class-rooms, pre- scription room, library, drug museum, balance rooms, and dispensing rooms equipped with all necessary chemi- cals, glassware, and apparatus. The hydrogen sulphide generator is on the fourth floor and the gas is con- ducted by tubes to suitable hoods wherever it is required. Distilled water is made on the fourth floor and conducted through block tin pipes to all the laboratories. The entire build- ing is supplied with compressed air for blast lamps. The Drug Museum. The drug museum occupies a floor space of 2,500 square feet, and is pro- ,sided with permanent wall cases, To be the oldest and most earnest worker in dramatic interests in the university, to have put more lines over the Whitney stage than any other student at present in Michigan-such is the reputation of Dion S. Birney, who takes the star lead of Evelyn, the heaviest and most delightful of the roles that Bulwer has created in his master comedy, "Money." And it is with no little regret that a few of the old-timers who have followed the Comedy club through the years in which it has been in its ascendency, will see delectable Dike take his final leave from Michigan this year, for. the dimpled favorite has won many' friends, among those who have work- ed with him and seen him work dur- ing the six years that he has been with us in Michigan. To such plug- gers as Birney does the Comedy club owe, in part, its gratitude for being what it is today. To the versatile Thespiasn who can take any role on' short notice from a village half-wit to a consumate John Drew in a Romeo lead, the Comedy club owes more than it can repay.

Sir John Vesey, whose consuming love of money gives the title to the play, awaits the reading of the will of a certain wealthy relative, Mr. Mor-t daunt of India, by whose clause he expects a lion's share of the heritage.1 While awaiting the reading, Alfred Evelyn, Sir John's private secretary and distant poor relation of Mordaunt,t solicits a loan of ten pounds that het may send it to an old nurse who is ill. Sir John refuses but his tenderhearted daughter Georgina, asks him for the nurse's address, promising herself that she will send the money if she falls heiress to the will. Clara, companion of Lady Franklin, and in love with Evelyn, secretly gets the address of the nurse and sends the ten pounds herself, all that she has int the world. That her kind act will nott be known to Evelyn, she has LadyI Franklin's maid address the letter. Subsequently Evelyn asks Clara to marry him but she unselfish, refuses the poor youth that he may not be made miserable by the additional bur- den of her own support. a The will is read before the assem- bled relatives, numbering, Sir John Vesey, Georgina, Lord Glossmore, Stout, Graves, Blount, Sharp, and Evelyn. After several whimsical be- quests are read from the will, it de- velops that the bulk of the immense fortune is left to Evelyn, the poor dis- tant relative who was least expecteds to fall heir. The newly rich Evelyn begins td be-~ come miserable. His love has refusedE him, but he invents a cordicil and settles 20,000 pounds upon her, that she may be made happy, and then he devotes himself to Georgina, the spoil- ed child of a miserly father. For he believes that she sent the ten pounds to his poor sick nurse. Sir Frederick Blount, formerly in love with Ueor- gina is about to propose to Clara, anda all four seem ona fair way to unhap- piness, when Evelyn invents a new scheme. He refuses to pay his bills, is seen as a constant companion to Dudley Smooth the cleverest crook and gambler in London, tries to bor- row money and is finally arrested for debt. Sir John in despair tells his daughter to break her engagement with Evelyn, which she does willing- ly, reengaging herself to Blount, the Aude. Clara, pitying Evelyn in his adversity places 10,000 pounds to his credit in the bank, sending him notice of the deposit in a letter addressed in the same hadwriting as that of the letter to the old nurse. Lady Frank- lin divulges the fact that both letters were sent by Clara and Evelyn clears everything up to his own satisfaction, his ruse having worked. He has gained his wife and he still has his "Money." NORMAN HACKETT, FATHER OF COMEDY CLUB, TOURS STATE.

The Prescott Club. This is a student organization to which all students of the School of Pharmacy are eligible to membership. Meetings are held once a month at which generally an outside speaker gives anaddress upon some topic of interest to the pharmaceutical pro- fession. In addition, one or more stu- dents prepare short papers upon the monthly current events in pharmacy and also upon scientific progress in pharmacy.
