PROCEEDINGS OF THE CENTENARY MEETING. ciii 



Philadelphia College op Pharmacy 



145 North 10th St., Philadelphia, March 14, 1912. 



Samuel G. Dixon, M.D., President, The Academy of Natural Sciences 

 Philadelphia. 



Dear Sir: 



The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, which is approaching its Ninety-second 

 Anniversary, desires to extend to your Academy her heartiest greetings upon 

 this felicitous occasion of its Centenary Anniversary. 



The College recalls with pride the fact that the first President of your Organi- 

 zation, Gerard Troost, M.D., a man highly esteemed by all, afterwards became 

 associated with her as Professor of Chemistry. 



The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Col- 

 lege of Pharmacy have been so closely allied during the lifetime of the latter, 



that she feels it a great honor to have this opportunity of extending to the 

 older sister institution her heartiest good wishes for a continuance of such an 

 honored career. And it is her hope that the most excellent work which the 

 Academy has so nobly and heroically carried on during the past one hundred 

 years may continue through future centuries. 



Very truly, 



Attest : Ho ward B. French, 



President. 



C. A. Weidemann, M.D., 



Secretary .
