ASSOCIATION.

5th; Mr. J. T. Slugg, E.R.A.S., Yice-President, in the 
chair. 
Messrs. Perry, Jones and W T alton w r ere elected asso¬ 
ciates. 
The Chairman having expressed his regret that the- 
President was prevented by serious illness from being 
present, called on Mr. Louis Siebold to deliver his lecture 
on Pharmaceutical Education, and its relation to the 
pharmaceutical examinations. 
The following is an almost verbatim report of Mr.. 
Siebold’s lecture:— 
Gentlemen,—Since pharmaceutical education has been 
made compulsory by the provisions of the Pharmacy Act, 
it has formed the subject of many an able discourse in 
different parts of the United Kingdom, but although 
much has already been said and written on this topic, 
much also has been left unsaid; and as the subject is un¬ 
doubtedly one of great importance, I believe I am justi¬ 
fied in inviting your attention to it on the present occa¬ 
sion. You will have seen from the title of my lecture, 
as announced at our last meeting, that I do not wish to* 
confine my remarks to pharmaceutical education alone, 
but that I intend likewise to explain my views on the- 
manner in which the education acquired by young men 
of our profession is tested by the pharmaceutical ex¬ 
aminations. 
The promoters of the Pharmacy Act had two principal 
objects in view, viz. to raise the chemists and druggists- 
from the comparatively low position they occupied to the- 
rank of professional men, and to protect the public from 
the dangers arising from the dispensing of medicines by
