THE ALUMNI JOURNAL. 



Resolved, That the balance of the appropria- 

 tion of |i,ooo iu favor of the International 

 Pharmaceutical Congress be used to publish the 

 proceedings of the International Pharmaceuti- 

 cal Congress, and it was further 



Resolved, That the actual transactions of the 

 Congress, such as votes passed and resolutions 

 adopted, touching important general principles, 

 be published in German, French and Spanish 

 as well as English, but that the minutes of the 

 Congress be printed in English only. 



Prof. Chas. Caspari. oflFered to the Council the 

 following : "That the Council tender to Prof. 

 Joseph P. Remington, the sincere appreciation 

 of his efforts in the careful and thorough man- 

 ner in which he has performed the duties of the 

 office of secretary ad interim. The transfer of 

 the office without an opportunity of consulting 

 the late Prof. John M. Marsch, as to facts and 

 methods carried with it a vast amount of intri- 

 cate work and labor what has been most satis- 

 factorily excuted by Prof. Remington. The 

 Council desires to place on record its sense of 

 gratitude to Prof. Remington after his valuable 

 services. ' ' 



This, by a rising vote, was unani- 

 mously tendered to the late Secretary 

 pro tern, Prof. Remington. The fact that 

 Prof. Remington would not sanction the 

 use of his name for the permanent Secre- 

 taryship, was a source of much anxiety 

 among his friends. And yet, before the 

 meeting was over, his friends saw that he 

 knew better than they, that his place was 

 on the floor of the convention where he 

 (as they feel) could intervene and modify 

 the discussions by that influence which 

 has made him so renowned.

In a social way the meeting reflected 

 great credit upon the Local Secretary,. 

 W. G. Smith, and his Local Committee, 

 and the hospitality of the citizens of 

 Asheville. In an instructive direction 

 the above outline of the principal events 

 is sufiicient to encourage and cheer even 

 the pessimist that "a good time is com- 

 ing" for the pharmacist ; and that the 

 solution is an edticational one and one 

 that is to be met by concentration of the 

 efforts of all colleges in raising the stand- 

 ard and so limiting the number of pharm- 

 cists.
