Therefore, be it resolved that the members of the College of Phar- 

 macy of the City of Xew York, having an intimate knowledge of the 

 qualifications of Dr. James Hartley Beal of Scio, Ohio, most .respect- 

 fully recommend the consideration of his name when making an ap-

 his many qualifications, he is of a temperament peculiarly qualified 

 to handle the problems that must necessarily confront the incumbent
