U. S. p. Convention. 



Special attention is called this montli to the report by Dr. H. H. 

 Rusby of the Delegates of the College of Pharmacy of the City of New 

 York to the Convention for the Sth Decennial Revision of the United 

 States Pharmacopoeia. It was presented at the regular meeting of the 

 college, held on the evening of Tuesday, June 19th. The report is a syn- 

 opsis of the work performed by the Convention and gives the details of the 

 changes which have been suggested ibr the new Pharmacopoeia. It was 

 received with hearty favor and the Journal takes great pleasure in present- 

 ing to every member of the college a copy of this issue containing the re- 

 port. See page 135. 



The Pre-requisite Clause. 



The Pre-requisite Clause is now an assured fact. It is impossible on ac- 

 count of time and space to convey to our readers any more than that at the 

 New York State Pharmaceutical Convention, held in Newburgh, N. Y., 

 June 26-29, a resolution was unanimously passed in favor of the College 

 Pre-requisite to go into effect January i, 1905. Thus the fight has been 

 won ! Three cheers for the N. Y. S. P. A.
