NEW YORK COLLEGE OF PHARMACY NOTES. 



At the regular stated meeting of the College of Pharmacy of the 

 City of New York, held on Tuesday evening, January 21, Professor 

 Emeritus Arthur H. Elliott lectured on the subject of Modern Store 

 Lighting. This, no doubt, was accountable for the large attendance of 

 both members of the College and their guests. Among those present 

 were Mr. Charles Holzhauer, who acted as chairman of the meeting, 

 Dr. William J. Schiefifelin, Mr. C. O. Bigelow, Thomas F. Main, 

 Ernest Stauffen, Dr. Henry C. Lovis, Mr. C. A. Mayo. Dean Rusby 

 and many others. 



Professor George C. Dickman read a very interesting report of 

 the proceedings of the New York State Pharmaceutical Association 

 Convention held at Rochester last year. 



The following Nominating Committee for the ensuing year were ap- 

 pointed by President Butler : M. J. Breitenbach, Chairman, Charles 

 S. Erb, David Costelo, F. K. James, Romaine Pierson, J. Leon Las- 

 coff, L. W. De Zeller. The Committee will prepare a ticket of candi- 

 dates for the vacancies caused by the expiration of the terms of officers 

 and trustees of the College for presentation at the annual meeting in 

 March. 



The lecture by Dr. Elliott was listened to with great interest and 

 should not fail to be of great practical value to the retail druggist. 

 By the use of specially prepared models of store windows fitted with 

 lights in various positions, of different candle power and by having 

 the backgrounds and sides painted in dififerent colors, the most efficient 

 and economical method of lighting was demonstrated. To the Con- 

 solidated Gas Company, the New York Edison Company, the United 

 Electric Light and Power Company, the speaker was indebted for 

 the construction and fittings of the model windows, for the exhibition 

 of electrical fixtures and articles suitable for store lighting and for 

 apparatus used for showing the contrast of different kinds of lamps 

 both electrical and gas. 



The following announcement by the Secretary with its accompany- 

 ing resolution was then adopted : 



"With sorrow and infinite regret I announce the deaths of William 

 H. Ebbitt, graduate and member; George William Kemp, life mem- 

 ber of our venerable and beloved Alumnus ; Member, Friend and
